I’m sure at the Majestic Theatre it plays better but with the intimate camera in her face you could see her working her performance. It was too much “I’m Audra McDonald and I’m acting these lyrics better than any other actress has ever.” Her acting wasn’t anchored to the music so there was a disconnect. That’s whereall the other actresses who&rs

Can't speak to Eva, but Orville had May 16-17 as scheduled absences.  It was on the website and ticketing sites.  June 5, 27, and 28 are, as of now, his other known dates he will be out.

Hasn't Eva gone from one show (Gatsby) to the next (West End Hadestown) to the next (Cabaret) with very short/no breaks in between. That's a fairly rigorous schedule, and I can

I'm wondering -- do you think that they (Megan/Jennifer) have it in their contracts that a public appearance/TV show counts as a performance? It would be a smart move to avoid being overworked during the awards season by running from all these promo appearances and dragging themselves through 8 shows a week and exhausting themselves in the process. Originally, they may have thought they could cover it with understudies but when the show went viral on TikTok and more was demanded of them,

Their absences just seem so weird and so random. On days they have been out they attend other daytime events and seem in good health."

They say you can kill a vampire by putting a wooden stake through their heart. I guess thst means Cynthia will lasta long while...since no one can find her heart."

OMG...just...get over it.

Moving on.  These run dates are interesting, especially smack in the middle of awards season where WICKED: FOR GOOD will most certainly be front and center, necessitating Erivo's involv

inception said: "The reports here have been that Orville Peck is great in the role, but who thought he was a big enough name to improve sales? Really feels like they were grasping at straws.

I'm hardly a good judge though. I had zero interest with anyone cast so far. Any name I can think of that I would pay to see, when I Google what they've been up to lately, I learn they've been dead 10 years."

Then again, while many of the decisions are base

Sutton Ross said: ".And since America is not in the musical, it's kinda weird how you assume she would attend just because she was in the film."

Why is it 'weird'?  When stars of the movies that musicals are adapted from visit the show, there are stories all the time about it. (Goldie/Death Becomes Her being the most recent example and I'm sure there's been talk of when Meryl will visit.)  And it was Ferrera's breakout role so no, I

Add me to the list of people who were initially skeptical of Audra taking on this role. I couldn't see that gorgeous voice really attacking that score, and the rest of the casting didn't excite me much. However, when I was in NYC recently, I couldn't pass up the chance to see one of Broadway's best stars in one of the best musicals ever at the beautiful Majestic Theater. I went in a doubter and left a firm believer that Audra could play Don Quixote if she wanted.

I've been an usher and a house manager for large theaters (2300+ seats) that host Broadway shows. Honestly, you always have to weigh whether getting involved during the show will be more disruptive than waiting until intermission or catching the guest on their way out. Guests always need to be reminded that "the artist" or "the show" is asking for this policy to be enforced, not the theater or its staff. If a guest is agitated or unruly, that's when our security ge
