Was just thinking it's odd to have not heard any news about the next Encores season or the fall gala. Did a quick search and they released the dates for the season in early May but it's been crickets ever since. Generally tickets for the Fall Gala run would already be on sale by now. Has anyone heard anything? Just a delay because of the change in artistic director?

I'm interested to see if Ilana Glazer gets any call-outs in the Good Night and Good Luck reviews. I liked her performance, and there's a ton of competition, but never know how many people will get in with such a large field.

Completely forgot about this! And even odder that it starts a month before Floyd Collins and they haven't even alerted members to a ticket on-sale date when the one for Collins was last week

Tonight's 7 p.m. show and the talk back was cancelled before going on due to an illness. Lots of very annoyed patrons outside afterwards

So odd they spent the money to put that big lamp on the marquee if it's going to close in the next few months!

Unless they bring back Encores! Off-Center, this feels highly unlikely.

I'm hoping for Follies, Night Music or Passion. Has been a while (or a long while) for all. Especially hoping for Passion, but even the National Theatre Follies would sufice!

It would take a legitimate miracle for the Motive and the Cue to transfer before the April 25 deadline since the production is running until at least March 25 on the West End. Shipping (or building) the set, load-in, etc. would leave almost no preview room.

Hear, hear! At least John and the recently crowned (sorry for bringing a monarchy back into this) Viola Davis earned their EGOTs for actual creative work rather than relying on a producer-only award to complete their haul.

Forgive me if I missed a post/announcement about refurbishment plans, but it seems a little sad that it looks like the Signature Theatre building is going to be dark for most of the summer. Maybe I'm misremembering or maybe it's just a another sign of the economy at the moment, but I feel like they used to host a number of shows -- from other companies, usually -- during the summer. Am I wrong or is this just going to be the new normal for a while?

Thanks so much, I fully couldn't find the regional board!

Travelled to Boston for last night's show. Was going great -- pretty much the City Center production and a good cast giving their best for a third or fourth performance of the run -- but we made it about 30 mins in (got to halfway through "The Art of the Possible" and they stopped the show and then cancelled the performance due to an issue with the cast. Hopefully all are well, but just wanted to call out the casting for all.

And my wait time is more than an hour with 3753 people in front of me
