Trump Wants to Host Awards, include businessmen and politicians as winners
 Mar 20 2025, 09:28:00 AM

MasterThespian 2 said: "Agree. He only wants to break it down and sell it for parts…just like he’s doing to the country. He’s never attended a cultural event in his life. He’s strictly MMA and pro wrestling. He’s as tacky and uncultured as a person can be—perfect for America in 2025."

I hate Trump as much as anybody, but the assertion that "he's never attended a cultural event in his life" is patently false. He regul


Bedwetter Broadway Transfer?

spicemonkey said: "I certainly hope not. This show has nothing new. The messages it sends out are something I’ve heard / seen millions of times."

Really? What are the other musicals that attempt to reduce the stigma of bedwetting? As someone who struggled with that throughout childhood and adolescence this show was one of the first times I heard it being talked about in a way that gave comfort and identification. This is as revolutionary and necessary for kids


Modern directors with the best track record of “discovering” talent
 Feb 17 2025, 10:50:59 AM

I think Jeremy Sams has to be under consideration if only for the cast of 13 including Ariana, Liz, and Allie. But he also did Noises Off which was huge for TR Knight and Amour which was Christopher Fitzgerald's Broadway debut, 


Missing Michael Riedel

everythingtaboo said: "Reading Harvey Fierstein's autobiography, I was reminded of all the fun chats he had with Michael on Theatre Talk. I actually do miss him. I appreciated that he really did love theatre, even as he reveled in the gossip. When he left, he took the last reporting that wasn't afraid to be critical. Yes, he went too far when he a delicious bit he could run with (Bernadette's attendance record in Gypsy) but more often than not, I found him to beaccurate i


Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center

Well I imagine this means they’ll be scheduling a production of Evita (his favorite musical) and we might finally see that musical adaptation of The Apprentice the Weisslers announced a long time ago. 


The Outsiders Tour Contract - Where is the outrage?
 Jan 23 2025, 03:10:04 PM

If actors feel that a tour isn't paying them enough for the work they're doing they're free to turn down the job. It's a producer's job to maximize revenue returned to their investors and part of that is keeping costs as low as possible. Actors have the fuzzy end of the supply & demand lollipop which makes low wages possible.


Boy George Returning To Moulin Rouge…Why ???

The ratio of tickets sold to cost to hire must have been favorable enough for producers to want to do it again.

Broadway’s Sexiest Man Alive

Oh remember the days of the Mr. Broadway competition which ended up getting sued by that guy who trademarked that as a descriptor of himself? It's why I still won't subscribe to BroadwayHD


Nicole Scherzinger
 Nov 8 2024, 03:58:43 PM

Hey Mods... So if Nicole's publicly available political likes and such are fair game for such conversation can I post every Trump / GOP supporting person in the industry's political donation history? Trust me there's a lot!

Oh come on. 1) Change.org petitions don't do anything ever. 2) Everyone has the right to vote and campaign for the candidate they want, 3) this is just childish

And you can even see it on a Tuesday night where you'll be supporting Mandy Gonzalez AND Tom in his boxer briefs. And producers might see demand increased on those nights, and the moment having Nicole Make "Jesus" Great Again Scherzinger in the cast harms their wallets but

The fact that the top issues of a woman's right to choose and the possibility of overturning same-sex marriage law doesn't seem to bother MAGAs is why Dems are so angry right now. These are two hot topics that MAGAs really don't seem bothered by. So when a celebrity likes something in relation to him andyou're clearly working in a place surro


2025 Presidency and Entertainment Industry
 Nov 6 2024, 03:52:17 PM

To quote the Jesus Christ Superstar film, "They've got what they want. They think so anyway. If he's what they want, why take their toy away? He's a craze."

 

Or maybe another Tim Rice lyric is more appropriate, "Things have reached a pretty pass when someone pretty lower-class, graceless and vulgar, uninspired, can be accepted and admired"

raddersons said: "gibsons2 said: "Nothing will happen to the entertainment industry. Entertainers historically adjust well to any ruling regime."

Rich entertainers and producers, yes. Most actors and technicians are living paycheck to paycheck without the help of their families. In a world where labor protections are weakened, those with the means to afford the rent will continue to do art, and those without will find work elsewhere.

Patti LuPone called a privileged, racially microaggressive bully by Hell's Kitchen cast member

Sadly pretty common in this day and age

This is not a trailer, it is a promotional video. Words have meanings. Just like a cast album is not a soundtrack.


Connelly Theatre Suspends Operations

Is therea theater in Manhattan/NYC that caters to conservative religious folks? There's probably a market for it.

Not since Laura Osnes moved to Tennessee 


Connelly Theatre Suspends Operations
 Oct 22 2024, 01:39:46 PM

Kad said: "The theater’s landlord, the archdiocese of NY, in recent weeks has begun heavily scrutinizing scripts of potential renters of the theater, leading to several productions having to relocate and the theater’s current GM and director to resign. The Connelly as a result has ceased operations.


Here is a gift link from The NY Times with the full details.
"

I'm surprised this hasn't happened earlier. Landlords 100% have the right to dictate what happens in the buildings they own and ensure it reflects their values.


Two Plays 'Searching for a Theatre'

Good Night & Good Luck supposedly has the Winter Garden, which makes sense for the draw of Clooney. Back to the Future is absolutely hemorrhaging money right now and can't possibly last into the new year
