I'm all for this. Seems like a good logistical and operational change for theatres.

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES To Close January 4, 2026
Dec 5

After missing Sherie during her scheduled performances due to a nasty cold, I was thrilled to finally catch her tonight. This was one performance I did not want to miss, and she absolutely delivered. Her acting and vocals are impeccable.
I’ll admit it.. I’m one of the few people who genuinely enjoys this show for the hot mess it unabashedly is. I liked Chenoweth’s performance in previews well enough, even if is just her classic, familiar schtick.

If I had to pick one of them to be out, I would go with Aaron Tveit. He is certainly giving a very solid performance, but I thought Nicholas Christopher and Lea Michele's performances were far superior.

I was supposed to see this last night, but had a terrible cold and couldn't go. I did get a ticket for next Wednesday night, though, and I can't wait to see what Sherie does with the role. These reports have me even more excited!

So 'witch' was worse, Redwood or Queen of Versailles?

Redwood definitely had a stronger score than Queen of Versailles. However, I had a much better time at Queen of Versailles than I did at Redwood...

RAGTIME 2025 Reviews

I saw this glorious production again for the second time yesterday afternoon. I took my mother (who had never seen it and went in blind). She fell in love and "didn't want it to end".
What is happening on the stage of the Beaumont right now is VERY special. Lear DeBessonet's direction really allows the story and characters to be the star. With a show like Ragtime, this is a very effective decision. Visual spectacle is not needed when the the story itself is so intense

I know its got the tour, but there must be a spare set somewhere to limit costs."
There's no shortage of shows that want to come in this season or next, and also houses that they could go into, including the Winter Garden.What would be the point of k

Universal's WICKED Films - News & Discussion Thread

No spoilers, but I caught an early screening last night on a whim, and I was absolutely blown away. My only minor quibble is that neither of the two new songs are that great or even needed. They are both more QOV caliber than classic Schwartz. Besides that, I thought this was pretty damn perfect - a truly epic conclusion.

What an utterly charming gem of a show.
Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts are unbelievably winning. They had me completely wrapped up in their characters and the story from the very first moments. It certainly helps that they're working with such a strong book and score.
I also loved the design elements - simple, clever, and consistently effective.
In a season without a ton of excitement in the new musicals department, Two Strangers feels like a much-needed beacon o

After two weeks of having to log in multiple times a day, I now can’t even log in at all on my MacBook… this was has honestly been a really frustrating user experience. The browser and cache clearing is not solving the problem. (Posting this from the mobile app).

Just grabbed a ticket for this weekend using the TSBOX109 code - really looking forward to checking this one out. I thought I would get in before opening night reviews come out next week and potentially make this a harder to get and more expensive ticket.

I'm also getting repeatedly logged out. I'm having to log back in a few times day, and the toggle off the topic list in my account settings every time as I'm not a fan of that view.

I caught this tonight and found it to be a pretty messy evening. The production has one thing going for it, though… the performances are truly top notch.
The vocals are absolutely flawless, and the score sounds magnificent. It’s a treat to hear this score performed so well. Michele, Christopher, and Tveit all knock their songs right out of the park. Zero complaints there.
Unfortunately, that’s where my praise ends. The direction is absolutely abysmal and just

As someone who enjoyed the show, I am extremely disappointed to hear about the diary bit being cut. That was a crucial moment in showing Jackie's true character.
