Overall, the Broadway Reddit seems a lot more fanboy / fangirl-y to me. Every time I go there (which admittedly, isn't a lot) the top threads seem to be about who stage doors, how amazing [insert actor] was last night, things that actors posted on IG, etc. 

What I appreciate about here is that there are number of users with industry knowledge and historical knowledge that are willing to share insights. The preview / review threads are extremely useful to me as someon

True, late night is on the decline but this was most definitely politically motivated. Paramount is trying to complete a merger with Skydance that was supposed to have closed at the beginning of the year. The FCC review has been extended 90 days twice already.

They already had to pay $16 million to settle a totally baseless lawsuit from Trump cause they know he has the power to tell the FCC to kill the merger. As we know, the president is certainly not above being petty especi

Stranger Things isn’t turning out to be the megahit that was forecast by many folks. I’m sure it isn’t going anywhere before the final season drops in December. It’ll probably get a bump as the marketing machine revs up later this year.

Anecdotally just from polling friends and family who are visiting New York this summer, no one I know has much interest in seeing it, despite having seen the series on Netflix.

It seems like the kinda show that wo

I mean, if the price of great art is a few assaulted underlings, that’s a sacrifice that just has to be made, right? (This is sarcasm)

In all seriousness, it’s interesting that those who seem willing to give Rudin a pass, seem to conveniently ignore the fact that he’s been violent with his assistants. I don’t think Rudin should be cancelled, but he should be kept on a very short leash and hopefully kept as far from the crew as possible.

I still think he should be given a second chance, but with many conditions. The problem is Rudin is accustomed to always being the top dog / alpha male in the room, and he's definitely not used to having to answer to someone. Who will be the person who will keep him in line? Can he even be kept in line?

If not, it seems like he's basically being given carte blanche to restart his empire again with little or no oversight, which definitely shouldn't happen - regardle

No snark intended, but if I were either a producer or a creative of a show in previews on Broadway I probably wouldn't be making major changes to my show based off the opinion of people on message boards. I know industry people do sometimes read these boards, but I can't imagine that it would be a completely smart thing to use responses on either this board or reddit / ATC as a serious way of determining how to implement changes in a show.

Democrats are really letting themselves be punching bags and not fighting this? This move should be resulting in lawsuits not concession posts."

Of all the many power grab moves the Trump / Musk administration has made over the last three weeks, I think this ranks near the bottom of the list of what Democrats should be actively fighting.

If this was a 'normal' president doing this, it would ab

I think it looks fine. I enjoy the little Ms. Gulch nod. For better or worse the visual style looks reminiscent of most other current / recent big budget fantasy properties on TV and film these days.

Seems like they're really downplaying the fact that this is part 1 which seems like a strange choice. I've seen people make comparisons online to Dune but to me that's not really apt, as Dune Part 2 wasn't officially greenlit until after the critical and
