We're leaving for London tomorrow night for a 7-day, 11-show visit. The big unknowns on my schedule are "Disclosure," waiting to see what you say, and "Nero," which I see isn't on your schedule, but if you've heard any news and/or gossip, please pass it on! Dying of curiosity..Thank you!

I was born in Havana, Cuba, and arrived in the United States as a kid as a political refugee. That's also true of my large extended family. Not one of us have EVER voted Republican. And that goes for the first generation that was born here as well as the second.

Re: Why is Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf so popular?

I'm seeing the Gillian Anderson /Billy Crudup London production in November. Press night is Wednesday so no reviews yet, but has anyone here already seen it? Any first- or second-hand reports on the production or on the relatively new Soho Place, where Zegler is taking up residency following the closing of Woolf?

John Doyle staged a couple of high-profile minimalist Sondheims a couple of decades ago where the actors served as their own orchestra. I, personally, thought it was a distracting anti-dr...

Maybe I'm misremembering the situation, but don't the comments being made here about Zane Phillips sound eerily similar to those made about Luke Evans when his casting in RHS was announced?

No replacement-casting speculation in this thread can top the announcement on another site that LAINIE KAZAN has been selected to replace Ari.

How was Paulo Szot in the role? He just sang "His Kiss..." magnificently at 54 Below. Actually, his whole set was terrific, marred only slightly by a jittery Kate Baldwin who joined him on a couple of duets.

Helen Shaw's review of "The Saviors"

Jul 29, 2026 — 6:46:45 PM

It's a very interesting and sweetly earnest play. While the two young actors gave physically compelling performances, I wish the director had worked with them a bit more on their enunciation. Much of what they had to say was rushed and incomprehensible (the two adult actors were marvelous throughout). No one else, as far as I know, has mentioned this. I saw the final preview Sunday night and perhaps they were just tired after what I imagine was an exhausting final week of previews.

Had I found out about this in time, I would have bought tickets without hesitating, but tbh, I thought the national tour leads (von Essen and Adams) sounded better and were far more touching.
