Listener said: "I'm hoping someone finds a Follies 2011 windowcard or poster (Bernadette Peters, Jane Houdyshell, etc.) and helps me out!Couldn't get there myself today."
I’m sure this will be more expensive than a flea market find, but you can order a reproduction of the poster from Triton Gallery if you strike out today.

The Gilded Tony Award Winners Nov 14

neil30043 said: "Part of the fun in watching the second season of The Gilded Age is seeing so many great Broadway folks on the home screen. So being an elder Broadway theater goer, I made a list of how many Tony Awards are represented by those folks that have been on at least one episode....I'm up to 26 Tony Awards. Has anybody else with time to spare done the math?"
This article is from season one prior to the premiere, so it omits season two newcomers like Laura Benanti, but it lists all the wins and nominations of the cast that we knew of at that point:

Here We Are is off-Broadway and, to my knowledge, does not participate in BC/EFA collections."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shows like Little Shop and some others Off-Broadway have indeed collected in the past, so I thought I would ask, just in case.

Jen Silverman's We Play Ourselves has many great theatre-set scenes. The main character is a playwright, and though much of the book does not focus on Broadway, it's a fun and fast read.

True, I didn't remember the railing from when I sat in the center section. Updated my post to avoid confusion. Thanks!

Selling two tickets to this Wednesday matinee on November 15 at 1:00pm. The seats are on the left side, Row GG, Seats 101 and 102. Looking to recoup what I paid: $129 + $5 per ticket, so selling the two for $268. DM me if interested, thanks!

Jonathan Cohen said: "For me, casting Angela Lansbury, who was perfect as Mrs. Lovett, at least in retrospect, seems like a bigger example of casting against type. The nice old lady from Murder She Wrote is turning her customers into cannibals?"
Sweeney Todd preceded Murder, She Wrote by ~4-5 years.

Do you remember if the signed Sweeneyposter was the white window card with the title treatment or the newer one with Josh and Annaleigh on it? Thanks!
It is the white window card. It does not have Josh and Annaleigh on it."
Thank you!

Sondheim/Ives HERE WE ARE @ The Shed Oct 22

I saw this past Wednesday matinee and have been thinking about it ever since. I left the performance with the impression that this is a great show, but it has been growing on me more and more ever since. As with every Sondheim score, it would benefit from repeat viewings and listenings to the future cast recording to catch all of his marvelous wordplay. But even on first blush, his lyrics come across as witty and sharp as ever. The first act is incredibly brisk. The Man and the Woman's so

Thanks! They do have ample time before the show has to be frozen, so maybe they'll consider something like this.

I haven't seen this yet, but is there any reason why Mantello and Tunick couldn't implement this while keeping with their (appropriate) goal of not altering Sondheim's score? As long as they don't change lyric

Except when you go to the ticket selection, those $87 tickets don't show, as if they're sold out. I was going to buy one for January today to no avail."
That's not at all accurate. When you slide the price selection bar all the way to the left to the $87* price point, it shows the entire left side Row P available as wel

SWEENEY TODD (2023) Broadway Revival Cast Recording Thread Sep 10

EDSOSLO858 said: "I couldn’t tell when I saw this live and again when listening to the album… what’s that noise at the end of the organ prelude (the one that replaced the factory whistle)?"
It sounds to me like the roar of the furnace fire below the pie shop, which I know isn't present in the Prelude but that's what it struck me as immediately.

binau said: "I'll give you all that EXCEPT the point about The Shed's website. Many of us were experiencing constant errors/crashes for the initial presale"
Fair point, especially for the folks who paid the highest membership fees to get those tickets on the first day and had a frustrating experience. I'm more commenting on the total lack of faith that The Shed could bring a project like this to fruition.
