I'm going to see Hugh Jackman and some other shows in July next year and I'm glad I didn't book Easter weekend because I thought about it but figured the hotels would be more expensive.  I would suggest checking out The Warwick - they have a great Black Friday special with everything 30% off - need to book by 12/2 and its pre-payment - but they have some good rates for that weekend - all things considered.  $332 for King City view room and $368 per night for a Junior Sui

Is she unaware of how many rabid fans there are of the original musical?  And she's reposting and shaming an account that has less than 100 followers - has she ever heard of the Streisand effect?  Get a grip lady

DramaTeach said: "Anyone get tickets? Seems like it's selling well so far. More availability later in the run, but it's only in presale right now."

Yeah - I got tickets for me and my mom for July (April and May would have been nice - but I don't want to pay outrageous airfares & hotel rates for Easter and Memorial Day) - and most dates were going FAST.  I was surprised - given the prices - but I got lucky and scored 2 tickets for $235 each for Or

What a great episode! And it really makes you wonder why Krakowski’s never been Roxie. Or why Cumming’s never been Sweeney. Or why Cheno has never been Hannigan or Lovett."

That’s the first thing I thought about - why has she never been Roxie?! I wish they had cast her in the movie over Zellweger.  I would abso

I have read his books and they are really good - he's a fantastic Irish storyteller.  I have no idea how this would work on stage - but if I were in New York this fall - I would try to go.  It doesn't hurt that he is extremely handsome

Although the show may be well known & loved by veteran theatre goers, how do you sell it to a general audience?

A conversation:

"What's it about?"

"This lady is turning 30 & all her friends lecture her about how she should get married."

"Hmmm...maybe tickets to Hamilton aren't really that expensive after all."

"Unfortunately I do feel that it is

We saw The Music Man the Friday night before the Tony's with Hugh and while I'm extremely glad he wasn't out yet as my 84 year old mother would have been really upset (she's a huge Hugh fan and this is the 3rd time we've seen him on Broadway since 2003) .  That said - I would definitely see the show again with Max in it - as long as I didn't have to pay $280/ticket for it :)  I thought the whole production was just great and Sutton and the kids were fantastic

As an example, I always wear a mask indoors—ALWAYS. I still caught Covid recently while in a grocery store (the only place I had been with a crowd of people in the prior 2 weeks). The cashier and bagger were NOT wearing masks. That is why not wearing a mask is troublesome to me. I don't want to catch Covid again and will not attend any shows in the near future until I see how things are going in the course of the summer. ."<

RWPrincess said: . At curtain call, Sutton was in tears thanking the 5 kids and Ann Sanders who were taking their final bows. She's such a class act.

I'm a huge Hugh Jackman fan (and Sutton Foster fan) but those kids were almost the best part of the show.  I've never seen a children's ensemble that was so talented and they looked like they were having the time of their lives. The shortest girl in the ensemble was just off the charts good - she stood out in ever

Actually - I saw The Music Man on Friday night from seats in the 7th row - and he did NOT look like that on Friday night at all.  I know there is make-up

Please God no!!! Can he even act?  If they are going off on bizarre celebrity wish-casting tangents  for replacements - they should try to get Zac Efron and Zendaya to take over.  Now THAT would sell some tickets even if neither one would ever do it…I am surprised that he has never done Broadway although I guess they had to really work to convince him to even do a musical movie again because he was so afraid of typecasting.

I think read that Sutton’s contrac
