Autumn was originally scheduled to perform on n the Sunday evening, December 8 performance prior to the closing announcement.
Does anyone know which performance she’ll be doing the final week now? I assume Katie will be performing at the final on Sunday night.

Chicago The Musical Appreciation Thread
Oct 31

Her acting and singing were very good. The audience was definitely with her and supportive of her throughout, which was fantastic to see. Her Roxie monologue was her best number and she sold it extremely well. The dancing left a lot to be desired though - she didn't do all of the choreography in Me and My Baby and her Hot Honey Rag was tentative and it seemed like she relied on her costar a lot instead of having the confidence in herself to pull of the dance moves (which I am sure she is

I attempted to see her on Monday, October 14, but she was out so I got a refund.
Went back this past Tuesday, October 22, and caught her. Looks like I’m lucky to have seen her.
Just for comparison purposes, I believe Pamela Anderson missed zero performances for her entire run, is this correct?

YELLOW FACE Previews

“I wonder how people found some of those FOLLIES performances in 2011 where they testing removing the intermission.”
By my recollection, they only did this for four previews. I attended one of them and it absolutely flew by. Had no problem sitting for that long with no break (probably because the show itself was so engaging). Saw the show probably ten times total and I wish I could see it again tomorrow. An excellent theater memory.

Whoopi Goldberg in ANNIE at MSG?
Aug 7
2024, 04:48:58 PM
The initial press release (which was incorrect) said that she would be doing the Chicago run and the NY run. It has since been amended stating that she will only be performing December 11-January 5.
The View will likely be on hiatus during this time period, so it shouldn't affect her schedule there. Normally, she does Monday-Thursday and takes Friday off, when Joy Behar moderates.

Whoopi Goldberg in ANNIE at MSG?

There are a couple of Thursday 11am matinees in December. She'd have to miss The View in order to be at those performances. And yes, I do realize if she's doing the Chicago run, she may be missing multiple tapings of The View in November. But if Whoopi will only be doing select performances, they should probably be announced in advance.

Why did High Fidelity Flop?
Jul 2
2024, 05:43:31 PM
Poor Will Chase. I saw High Fidelity twice and loved it. Then, a little over two years later, Will Chase opened The Story of My Life, which only ran a weekend. Saw that gem four times and loved it. It's so rare for shows to have this short a run nowadays. KPOP and Lempicka are probably the only two comparable.

THE WIZ 2024 Broadway Cast Recording Thread

"I still think it’s criminal they didn’t record the Emerald City sequence, it’s some of the best music in the whole show"
This was one of the main reasons why I was excited to hear this album. Supremely disappointing that it was not recorded. Loved that Act 2 opening.

"How long until we get LEMPICKA: The Reunion Concert! ???"
I know this post was probably half meant as a joke, but I can almost guarantee there would be more interest in this reunion concert than there was for How to Dance in Ohio.

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club Previews
Apr 3
2024, 03:05:19 PM
Good question. I had bought my first preview tickets on SeatGeek, but went to the box office to have them printed out prior to the performance. And I purchased my second set of tickets at the box office and had them printed out. The majority of people entering the theater will probably be using their phones as their tickets, which will make them harder to hide in their pockets or bags. I always prefer a printed ticket to a digital ticket because I tape them to the inside of the playbill after

The sticker did leave a sticky residue on my phone case, which is slightly raised above the lenses themselves. When I got home, I had to take my phone out of the case and wash the case with soap twice to ensure the sticky residue washed off. When I see the show again on May 2, I will just leave my phone in my pocket the entire time to avoid having to use the sticker.
The show itself was fantastic, by the way, as was the entire experience, and I'm looking forward to seeing it a seco

It doesn't appear that they are selling the balcony, which is unfortunate, because those seats would have been more affordable. The cheapest mezzanine seats excluding fees are $94 each.

Saw it twice in previews - once with Caryn Lyn Manuel (who I believe only played 9 previews) and once with the far superior Lisa Brescia. Then I went a third time to the closing performance a few weeks later. It was definitely a mess!

Prima Facie recoups investment
Jun 20
2023, 03:00:23 PM
Reading this news today made me so happy. This is such an excellent play with incredibly important subject matter and Jodie Comer is giving the best performance I've seen in at least the last decade. She deserves to be an Olivier and Tony winner for this role and I'm thrilled that the show will go down in the history books as a hit that recouped its investment. I have already seen the show three times and have tickets for one more time its final week. Congratulations to Jodie and the

Anyone seeing a first performance post-Tony win tonight?

"They're gonna have to hold the show a good minute tonight when the lights go up on Kimberly Levaco and her candy necklace!"
I will be there at Kimberly Akimbo tonight and definitely looking forward to contributing to the love fest from the audience. It will be my second post-Tony performance for a Best Musical winner - the last was In the Heights in 2008.

As soon as my friend and I left Prima Facie on April 12, he turned to me and said "Jodie Comer just won the Tony." My response to him was: "Jodie Comer just won the Drama League award!"

Will we ever see a Broadway revival of August: Osage County?
Mar 27
2023, 04:10:44 PM
I saw it three times on Broadway - Deanna Dunagan, Estelle Parsons and Phylicia Rashad. All were fabulous and the play itself is outstanding. I would love to see a revival of this show, but it must be a full scale production - we've all had enough of this bare stage with chairs and turntables trend.
