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

Looks like NYTW members get priority

 

From them today:

As a 2022/23 member of New York Theatre Workshop, we’ve arranged for you to have priority access to purchase Broadway tickets during the pre-sale period on Thursday, March 23. Keep an eye on your inbox for your access information!

The financial markets are so uncertain right now that wary investors could like be the norm going forward. Hopefully just an isolated incident, but with so many high wealth tech folks feeling the affects or being worried about Silicon Valley Bank's failure, it may be an interesting summer.

I was just coming to say that I finally found Dear World by toggling Off-Broadway (that's a new one for Encores). Grabbed one for Sunday

It feels beyond odd that Dear World hasn't popped up yet. It opens in a few days and from City Center's site, there is plenty of availability for most performances. In the past, I feel like Encores shows (obviously not Into the Woods) were available much earlier.

The main crux of most of the story revolves around a person believing his family represents something meaningful about The American Dream/Epic and, to me, reeks of tge classic white Boomer mindset that dominated culture for a long time, especially visual arts in the late 80s and most of the 90s

Saw this tonight and couldn't shake how much this just isn't a story that needs to be told (at least not like this). Amazing performances all around (though I don't think Danny was wearing a wig tonight though they generally didn't address his age). Another white Baby Boomer story aimed at white Baby Boomers just doesn't feel that revolutionary -- that said, there is an audience for it, as tonight's show was pretty fully sold.

While NYTW definitely doesn't need to build buzz for this show, in looking at their Twitter, they usually release rehearsal photos a couple weeks out (which would be now-ish). I'm sure that depends on how rehearsals are going.
