Rumors abound in London that she has pulled out of the Sunday in the Park revival next summer at the Barbican. There seem to have been some weirdness about when tickets would go on sale so maybe the rumors are stemming from that?

A CHORUS LINE Tribute Fail
Jun 8 2026, 10:13:11 AM
Because it was a weird anniversary! Not its Premiere at the public, not its premiere on Broadway, just the year it won its Tonys. Hardly seems a reason to celebrate except to get people ready for Rachel in Evita

Oddly they used the logo for the recent UK non-replica touring production.

It was a perfect representation of how Broadway doesn't know what it needs most nowadays. This is why most new musicals will be closing within months, the edge is gone."
Most new musicals will be closing because they're not very good!

BECKY SHAW Reviews

CoffeeBreak said: "Alden Ehrenreich has the "juiciest material". Yes, he does - BUT what he does with the material is what makes this performance so stellar. He makes it work withsmart balance. On paper this role is not easy and rarely executed well.
Trip Cullman should have been nominated for his direction over Kenny Leon. The scene changes alone are smarter & more creative - and the gets a harder play to work very well. His cast succeeds in

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW reviews
May 14 2026, 04:58:04 AM
So Rocky was fun! Yay. It's probably very hard to play that role and color outside of the Tim Curry lines, but Luke Evans is very funny and as original in the role as can be. He had me giggling a lot. Im not sure Stephanie Hsu deserved a Tony nomination over Lea Michele, but she is terrific. I remember she was my favorite thing in Be More Chill and isn't an Oscar nominee for nothin'! Oddly, when everybody is playing every character over the top, Andrew Durand is playing Brad very

OH, MARY Reviews (2026 New)

smidge said: "Meg Stalter will be the next Mary."
Excellent. This is the exact kind of new off-kilter casting this show exceeds at. Well done!
It's amazing how the show knows exactly the right type of replacement casting energy the show needs! And that it's always both inevitable and surprising!

ULSTER AMERICAN at the Irish Rep ug

I saw this last year in London and I didn't like it much but what is very strange to me is that Woody Harrelson played the role that is apparently now being played by Matthew Broderick. (?!)

NYT: ‘Flower Drum Song,’ Once Overhauled, Returns Changed Again
Apr 28 2026, 08:27:13 AM
I always resent a brand new book applied to existing Golden Age musicals. And Hwang's new Flower Drum Song is the worst representation of that. Not that the original is fantastic. It is obviously racially insensitive; Hammerstein took a fairly dramatic, realistic novel and turned it into a musical comedy. But Hwang didn't even use the novel's structure or plot, he created a new one out of whole cloth that isn't very good. I much prefer the original, cultura

NY Times Gives Critics Pick to 18 out of 31 Shows
Apr 28 2026, 07:57:08 AM
We were all so thrilled when Shaw became the New York Times critic, as we had enjoyed her so much at New York Magazine. But something has changed. Her writing style even has changed! She isn't that much different from Jesse now in her taste level. The other New York Times critics have always been sus.

"MASTER HAROLD"...AND THE BOYS at Geffen Playhouse
Apr 27 2026, 04:55:59 AM
It is such a lovely play! I saw the London National Theatre's production a couple years ago and it was exquisite. Hammed Animashaun, of the new Saturday Night Live UK, played the more angrier of Harold's "boys" (after being such a delight as Bottom in the Bridge Theatre's Midsummer's).

THE LOST BOYS Reviews

malcs98 said: "But the question even though Titaníque is at the top of the leaderboard, does that mean it will win Best Musical come TONY night?"
Yes but do we really care that much this year about the Best Musical Tony race? Even on this thread, the enthusiasm of those that are happy The Lost Boys got better reviews than expected seem somewhat muted. It feels, with most of the season's new shows, we're enthused out of habit, not excitement.

Hannah Cruz/Merrily movie
Apr 25 2026, 04:16:41 PM
Oddly enough this is not from the BWW interview, it's from a separate Paul W broadway.com interview.
Did we know that Hannah Cruz is playing Gussie in the Richard Linklatter movie version of Merrily We Roll Along? And if I did miss this --who's in the rest of the cast?
