They are figuring it out. You all just need something to go on about. Like someone else said .. this is why we can’t have nice things.

I didn't see her Instagram post, but I have no interest in sharing more detail of the first-hand information I have received over the years regarding this situation.

Uhum.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "When you are used to being the star, it can be an extremely challenging thing to slot into a running show once week, and with limited freedom to deviate from Bette’s footprint (aside from the new keys). Add to it Rudin being Rudin, Bette being Bette, and Donna’sown grieving process.

It was a challenging and unhappy time for Donna and it caused her to take it out on some people too.

Boring casting choices. From Danny to this.  They will probably all be wonderful.  But you kind of already know what you’re going to get.

She is fine.  But that is it.  The oldest appearing Fanny they’ve had.

I had a fun time.  The play is meh but it sure was great watching the two ladies on stage.  I saw in the front row all the way to the side and had none of the problems you just mentioned.  Mia might be remembered Tony time.  But it is very early in the season and I don't think thats what this show is intentionally going for.  It is September in NYC with nothing else with names like this playing for now.  It is a fun night and what I imagine is their target au

SUNSET BLVD to transfer to Broadway

Nope.  Sorry.  I received a flyer over 3 months ago.  I have also seen ads in a few travel magazines as well as video packages in the hotels .  They might be doing more.. but they have been advertising for a while and outside of our niche.  It just doesn’t seem to be selling like I thought it would.  I hope it does well.   I loved it.

Broadway Flash said: "They’re still over three weeks away til their first preview and they just started marketing. Paper flyers in the mail, subway posters, all sorts of other press. It’s also a huge theatre to fill."

This did not just start marketing.  I think the negative reception to Cabaret and the fact that people just don't buy tickets in advance like years past anymore has more to do with it.

I really thought this would be selling better .  I understand all the reasons it isn’t.  But I really thought this would be a hot ticket. Maybe if they had not waited this long to transfer and come in closer at the heels of its London success.

This doesn’t appear to be selling that well.  So much availability.  But the London run didn’t sell either till after it opened. 


Shorts in the theater

BrodyFosse123 said: "During summer evenings in NYC, I wear nice cotton shorts, short sleeve Lacoste/polo shirt, loafers and a blazer (that I can take off if I’m too toasty). I feel beyond comfortable and I’m appropriately dressed for any high end spot or Broadway show.

As long as you make the effort to look polished, you can pull off anything anywhere and you look great.

From what you’re wearing; it sounds like we could be twins.  O

It is live theater. And

Is Bryan Cranston still rumored to be Herbie?  I had heard this a while ago .  But I am still hoping for the other rumored Cranston return in Damn Yankees.  He did hint at this on Andy Cohen.


APPROPRIATE Transferring to the Belasco

Oh do not see it without Paulson. Unless you’ve already seen it once before. Really what is the point. It’s a good play. Really good. But don’t see it without Paulson.

The Hudson while considered a small theater is still too big for this show. The booth, the Hayes  or the golden are more appropriate yet still all a little too large.

Hudson is too big for this show and would be a mistake.  


CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews

II have a question. With shows like this which are very expensive tickets.; when Al lead us out for a scheduled performance usually, the tickets are cheaper. If you have purchased tickets to see the two star names and they are out, do you have any recourse to get the difference in money back? Last weeks performances without Eddie were available for 40% off at TKTS.

Yeah the premium price tickets online for the final performance July 7this $1299! Wow! Is that a record on Broadway? I recall Hello Dolly front row premium tixon weekends cost $999.

Since this show has recouped and clearly doing well,hopefully the production will give a bonus to the ushers at the Hudso
