I am still surprised by Glengarry Glen Ross' grosses earlier this year large, as I really did not expect that trio to sell so many tickets, especially in that large theatre at those prices.  I have not considered purchasing tickets for this, because I expect discount tickets to become available before it opens or, failing that, for it to be a regular on TKTS.  Are people on this board expecting those two to be big box office attractions? 

I am thinking that, just a f

The last revival never had a chance.  It opened in the worst economic downturn since the great depression, in winter, with no names.  I can't prove it with actual facts off the top of my head, but I seem to remember that a lot of shows were hit by that downturn and were forced to close.

I think it is a valid concern that the combination of theatre location and the dog days of winter present a real challenge.  If in fact it does have a huge cast and orchestr

Up until the last second, I did not really believe that anyone was going to invest in any show associated with that moronic TV show.  I have been loving musicals for 60 years and I could not make it through the third episode of the first season. I found myself to be embarrassed watching it with anyone else in the room. 

But, despite all the money losses last season, the producers have managed to get someone to invest in this.  I have to assume that it is associated

I don’t think this post is at all a celebration of a show’s lack of feasibility. To me, it reads as speculation of theinevitabl

I was really floored when I read of her passing.  I expected her to live for many years to come.

I had the good fortune to see her in Play It Again, Sam, at the Broadhurst Theatre in 1968.  I had a summer job as a 'host' in a restaurant in Times Square and managed to squeeze in a matinee before work (it was very short, even with an

My ruthless song cuts to the movie would be:

The Right Girl"

I agree with the latter, but I disagree strongly with the former.  For me, that has always been the cleverest number in the show, with the two couples younger and older selves intertwining, if not interacting.  It does a beautiful job of conveying the two time periods in a single number.  It would work beautifully on

I was fortunate enough to see her in two shows.  She was wonderful in both.  In Darling of the Day, her combination of warmth, humor, and a fine voice made you love her after she had been on the stage for five minutes.  I actually saw the show on opening night because I was home from school for the weekend, it opened on Saturday, and there were seats available.  There were in fact some empty seats.  She brought down the house with her big production number, Not on You

The Outsiders drop over the past 6 or so weeks is mind-boggling.  This is what happened to Titanic 25 years ago...went from extended great business to a significant drop that did not correct and closed much earlier than I ever would have expected.  It would be a real shame if this didn't 'correct'.  

I am guessing that Hell's Kitchen needs for Alicia Keys to show up twice a week for a post-performance few songs.  IT certainly seems to be wo

I think that is a good idea. 

Failing that, I can only think of two theatres where I could see a balcony scene working, taking into consideration public safety, managing traffic in and around Times Square: (1) the Vivian Beaumont, which is clearly away from traffic.  I can imagine that, as part of the production costs, they could work something out to build a balcony outdoors or to use the loge mezzanine, in which case the crowd would need to be in the lobby of the theat

It is positively shocking to me that someone would think this could be a hit on Broadway.  Perhaps if it were brilliant (no evidence to suggest that), off-Broadway.

I love the theatre, have been seeing shows for a thousand years, and I could not get through 3 episodes of this on streaming.  I would never have considered seeing this in DC, even if I lived in the Watergate, which is super close to the Kennedy Center.

I found myself constantly cringing at every turn.

The only people surprised are users who joined this week."

Are you kidding? 

First, Binau seems to me to be one of the more consistently pleasant posters on this board.  Because Binau is suggesting that some pragmatism is required, does not make Bi
