Atlantic postpones GRIEF CAMP and David Greenspan play amidst IATSE strike Jan 12
2025, 02:25:25 PM
It's interesting how they've chosen the language "both of these offers were ignored" instead of: both of these offers were rejected. By doing that they're making themselves a victim and IATSE the enemy. But at the same time, they say that they are pro Union.

Cabaret Casting Rumor: Orville Peck & Eva Noblezada Dec 31
2024, 02:43:43 PM
Orville Peck was one of the opening acts for the last Harry Styles tour. That demographic seems to be the one that the producers are desperately trying to recruit.

Ibsen's GHOSTS at LCT Dec 27
2024, 03:32:52 PM
The first rehearsal is January 9th. It would make sense that they would have put tickets on sale already, and at least announced the principal cast. Surely people have been hired and designs have been submitted to shops? At least that's how it usually works.

Sam Mendes to direct new Jack Thorne-penned play about the Richard Burton/John Gielgud 'Hamlet' Dec 1
2024, 12:30:03 PM
The poor ticket sales of Hills of California, even though it has a different set of producers, but is also a Mendes show, combined with the already discussed fact that Motive has no bankable Broadway stars, and they weren't able to get the theatre they wanted will probably put this transfer off until next spring if it ever happens at all.

Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to Broadway? Nov 11
2024, 01:02:02 PM
Yes, it's now up on the BAM website. February 28 through April 6. The West End remount finishes on February 22 so that is a very tight turnaround for everyone involved.

THE GREAT GATSBY to open on the West End April 2025 Nov 6
2024, 05:32:36 PM
The Colosseum seats just under 2400 people. I wonder if they will be selling the upper circle and balcony in addition to the stalls and dress circle.

James Graham's DEAR ENGLAND coming to Broadway Spring 2024, dir. Rupert Goold? (casting notice) Oct 31
2024, 10:46:20 AM
The National Theatre, as well as the independent producers that moved it to the West End, decided that it was too risky to move it to Broadway. Joseph Fiennes is an amazing actor and is phenomenal in the show, but he will not sell tickets on Broadway. The fairly large cast would need to transfer intact in order for the show to work and that was also a massive financial risk. Even though the show did pick up a couple of Olivier awards this past spring, it wouldn't be enough to be a se

Musical adaptation of film SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED from Nick Blaemire and Ryan Miller (Guster) to premiere at BAM Sep 20
2024, 01:45:33 PM
I was on the fence about purchasing tickets and then I was reminded that one of the authors wrote Glory Days, the horrific/boring Broadway musical that closed on opening night about 14 years ago... so that's a hard pass for me and based on what some other people have reported in this thread, I am very glad I am skipping this.

TAMMY FAYE will transfer to Broadway in 2024-2025 Season Sep 3
2024, 05:41:32 PM
I would be interested to see how this plays from the mezzanine or balcony. I saw this in London at the Almedia, which seats 325 people. I know they're upscaling everything for a bigger Broadway house and hopefully that will make a difference for people sitting in those areas.

Supposedly it's The Motive and the Cue. They are waiting to announce until Suffs posts a closing notice.

THE NOTEBOOK to Close on Broadway on December 15, 2024 Aug 30
2024, 11:59:00 AM
While closing before the end of the year might seem odd remember that during the holiday weeks Broadway shows play adjusted schedules with added performances, this means overtime for the crew and cast which adds to the running costs, that probably factored in choosing the closing date.

Wicked - Current Cast with Donna McKechnie? Aug 27
2024, 06:06:06 AM
I agree with the other comments. She's fine, she's not amazing and she's not horrible. It is not a memorable performance. Seeing a Broadway legend in person is always a thrilling experience but in this case, I don't think it's worth going back and seeing it again. I saw her performance a couple of months into her run and was disappointed. I went back and saw the show with some family members a couple of weeks ago and she was out.

THE LEHMAN TRILOGY Returning to Broadway This Fall? Jun 23
2024, 10:16:45 PM
The show is returning to the West End for a limited engagement starting in late September so they had the right date but the wrong country.
