Idk if it will tour however, the good news is the entire show will be released as an audio play October 2nd exclusively on Audible

RippedMan said: "Looks like "Little Bear Ridge Road" is coming for this next season. It's such a tiny show. I think it would only work at the Booth."

Ok but is nobody talking about the fact that this will be the first new show produced by Scott Rudin??? Meaning that Rudin is coming back this next season 

I actually just now heard that EVITA is aiming for a spring 2026 run at the Majestic, and considering that that theater has a  very extensive outer balcony, it definitely makes sense...

I know I know he doesn’t have to be gay. But I just wish they can cast all gay characters for gay roles. There are a lot of straight characters there as well so why not cast the gays for the gays."

Hear me out on this but...Colman Domingo???

I’ve heard from sources very close to the production that Solea Pfeiffer is set to play Svetlana

Actually though, that’s a fun announcement. We’re eating good today with this and Ragtime dropping A+ ads. All three of them look hot as hell and it makes me want to see Chess for once instead of just listening to the greatest hits."

Yeah seriously whoever did these advertisements for both this and Ragtime, you certainly deserve a raise 

Yup they’re announcing it tomorrow. I’ve heard everyone from the City Center production will be attached. It will be playing the Vivian Beaumont for a very limited run. According to people familiar with the production the first preview is expected be September 25th with an October 16th opening night and as of right now, the production is expected to run through January 4th!

They seem to be going with a completely young cast for this production and I’m all here for it. Gonna be very curious to see how critics and audiences will react in London (that is if it plans on coming to Broadway next season)

Bryce 2 said: "If their producers are smart, they will petition John Proctor for Best Revival, and DHP for Featured Actor. This is what I am most interested in hearing today.

I certainly don't know if I would consider John Proctor as a revival. DHP for Featured Actor I can definitely see happening

Does anybody know what time the final round of Tony eligibility will be announced? I know it's today but I'm just curious what time it's gonna drop

English also received nearly unanimous raves."

It’s gonna be a very tight 3-horse race between this, English, and Oh Mary!…lord knows, who will come out on top, but personally I’m rooting for John Proctor, One of the best plays I’ve seen in a very long time 

chrishuyen said: "Was that the one that was supposed to have Bryan Cranston?"

Yeah, at one point I think circa 2023 it was gonna be Bryan Cranston and Victor Garber 

ACL2006 said: "BdwyFan said: "The show is great fun and not surprised it’s a NYT Critic’s Pick by Jesse Green. And I’ll go out on a limb to say it could be one of the Best Musical nominees. Ya never know. The industry folk are loving how fun it is especially in today’s crazy times. And stellar performances!"

I highly doubt this gets a best musical nomination. There appears to be four locks at this point:

I have literally no idea, but I think Jesse Green chose chaos

MemorableUserName said: "BorisTomashevsky said: "Feldman just shared the review on his FB page. Three out of five stars.

TimeOut"

That seems overly generous.

"Somehow, I enjoyed the overall experience ofSmash. Aside from Ashmanshas and a few diverting numbers, the show is undeniably unmoored. But isn’t that ultimately true to the brand? This production embraces failure; it hugs its own shambles. And for diehardSmashappreciators, perhaps that—in a meta way!—is right for the material: Part of the appeal ofBombshellhas always been that it hadbombwritten right into it. To be fair, this production isn’t really a bomb; it doesn’t go hard enough for that. It’s the shell of a bomb.""

There’s more to it: “Behind every hit musical…is a hot mess,” teases one of Smash’s advertising taglines. But what’s behind a flop? Maybe it’s something like the warm mess we get here. They throw spaghetti at the wall and, when nothing sticks, they shrug and serve the spaghetti.
