4 big musicals for 25/26
Oct 24

I'm thinking the producers of "Two Strangers Carry a Cake........" were wise to open this fall. Gives them some time to find an audience with little competition from other New Musicals and build buzz for awards season much like Maybe Happy Ending.
Too bad their theater is jinxed :)

MASQUERADE Previews Thread

actually, DO NOT do this ----- that 25th Anniversary Concert is dreadful, and should never be anyone's first entry to this piece.
Instead, seek out either the 10th Anniversary concert, with Colm Wilkins

gotta say --- so far, the merch seems a little ho-hum.
at least this helps justify the wait in line to get the autographed limited edition poster from the box office opening a few weeks ago. Now THAT is GORGEOUS!!!!

Cats: The Jellicle Ball to Broadway

2025, 10:07:36 AM
looks like the first 4 rows are 'killed' (for now) -- as well as the far sides of orchestra
perhaps they'll try a passerelle rather than a traditional catwalk?
Regardless, i have my tickets for two perfs so far ---- excited to see this again!!!!

I will not --- REPEAT -- will not go anywhere near this Broadway Revival if Frankie Grande somehow gets a role.

Seeing his smiling face really lifted my spirits while riding in to work. 8weeks to go until I get to see the show. I hope everyone stays healthy & has a great rehearsal/previews period!"

Something I hope other people realize is that people can say no to a role. So you can think they are perfect, and will be perfect, but it ultimately comes down to so many factors that we a

Just got another Telecharge survey about a new upcoming musical. The only thing more offensive than the potential for a musical version of this stupid movie is that they REALLY want to know if it will appeal to straight men.
Really???!!!?? Asking me this is like asking a vegan what they think about the new BBQ Brisket Whopper from Burger King
Hard pass.........
