Saw Mexodus — blown away! Dec 29
2025, 03:37:16 PM
Wonder how this could fare as a commercial Off-Broadway run. Has it lost any of its momentum like TEETH did?
This could also just be a cast album or Audible streaming announcement.

Just in Time - Matt Morrison? Dec 28
2025, 09:17:18 PM
Was he “cancelled” or something? Any post-Grinch controversy?
Like it or not, it just seems like hating certain pop culture figures for no reason whatsoever is the “right” thing to do in today’s world, and the “cool kids” hop on the bandwagon. Consider the unwarranted Coldplay vitriol going around even before the Foxborough Jumbotron fiasco.

steve.sometime said: "I went through all the musicals I saw this year, and here are a few more nominations:
Not That Kinda Gal (Schmigadoon!, this is a new song) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kzXoY5ZTNjU
Stuff It Down Inside (The Seat of Our Pants): https://www.tiktok.com/@publictheaterny/video/7569375421091908895
Big Tree Religion (Redwood, not sure if this song is new for Broadway or not) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anC5NYQ-Z0E
I Got the Stuff (The Oscar Micheaux Project, technically this one is a workshop production, but it sold tickets and played 6 performances) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BdS3lswC0k
Pieces, Together (All the World's a Stage) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q7a2C_7o5I&t=48s
Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which (A Wrinkle in Time) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jxsRyfFTrU"
"Big Tree Religion" was in fact new for Broadway, having replaced the inferior "A Little Bit Wild" from the La Jolla iteration of REDWOOD.

- ”A Woman Knows” - REGENCY GIRLS
- ”Keep Up” and “Dawn Patrol” - THE HEART
- “What’ll It Be” - TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) (New orchestrations and mostly new lyrics first heard in Boston make me sorta-kinda count this.)

It's around that time of year where "best-of" lists are compiled and published.
In 2025, we had many new musicals that premiered in NYC and all over the world - and with it, some brand-new songs. Let's list our favorites below, but the twist for this thread is, they have to have been performed for the very first time in a fully-staged production at some point in 2025, OR they were newly written for a 2025 mounting.
For example:<

Oh wow. So the change would come for the 2026 ceremonies? or are those still slated to appear on CBS?"
After 2026.

Happy trails to THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES, ART, and LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD, alongside Ike Barinholtz and Jon Stewart in ALL OUT.
Shaping up to be a fruitful Xmas even with three less shows on the boards.

The Jimmys look great on YouTube each year as well, and I wouldn’t mind if the Tonys eventually head there too.
And by the way, the ceremony’s current CBS / Paramount+ contract ends next year, as of this moment. A major change could occur sooner than we think.

Supposedly this is a response to recent behavior over at the West End production?

Start time was 7:09 today with a 9:11 blackout.
That was absolutely BIZARRE and quite honestly felt like I was on drugs too.
I will say the second act gets better and Smallwood nails the descent into madness — otherwise, skip this one.

Not much movement this week as we approach the lucrative Christmas and New Year's holidays. All the shows are right about where they've been for a while now.
Insecurity controversy aside, happy trails and congratulations to Kecia Lewis who concluded a long Tony-winning run in HELL'S KITCHEN on Saturday night. We also said farewell to Rebecca Naomi Jones at HADESTOWN.
The family business of ALL OUT with a decent first two previews.

Rumor: BEACHES opening at the Majestic this season Dec 16
2025, 03:04:18 PM
Jarethan said: "Someone else may have already said this, in which case I missed it, but I wonder whether -- between this and Titanique -- we are seeing the 'official' start of a new model...the show that opens on Broadway as the first stop in a national tour. I don't understand the economics, but the fact that they can advertise 'directly from Broadway', as someone has previously proposed --may make them more appealing on the road and increase grosses."<

MTC's website lists a 1:55 runtime, including a 15-minute intermission.
Also, all cell phones will be locked in Yondr pouches at each performance due to moments of full frontal nudity in the play.
