Carrie. I'm happy with the revised version but gimme a big cast, beefed up orchestrations, and a production on the scale of Stranger Things and life would be beautiful.

Yes. We know. We’re well aware.

Oh c'mon, you couldn't even try to make it rhyme?

The equity tour finishes with the Broadway run and the non-equity tour launches shortly thereafter

If the plan is to bring it in as a limited holiday-type engagement, then yes I can see it. The last two times it was on Broadway, they did well over $1 million a week between October and January. I'll gladly eat my words if/when I'm wrong but I could see it happening

If the plan is for a 3 month limited engagement for Halloween and the holidays, I can see it doing tremendous business. Gives the performers and theatre staff work, helps return the initial Broadway investment (which I’m sure they’re still trying to do). Plus it gives fans one more chance to see it on Broadway.

I see this as a win all around.

I dig the pink. It's eye catching. Also love them using "Everybody's playing the game" as the tagline.

Although I really wish everyone would just drop the whole "...The Musical" thing.

Outsiders should be on the brink of recouping if they haven’t already.

And as shocking as it may be, if Gatsby holds on with strong numbers through the summer (and I think they just might) they could also probably reach recoupment by the fall or end of the year given the high running costs.

Get me that cast album yesterday.

And put the original Broadway cast album on AppleMusic while you’re at it!

Looks as though the Beetlejuice tour closes this September and a non-equity tour launches next year.

This Korean-based news outlet states that a Korean language production will an all-Korean cast will be produced next year.

This is great casting. Despite what you think about the material (I love it lol but absolutely understand why others don't), the casting has been A++. I just saw the Broadway production again and the new cast is incredibly strong and the show is in good shape.

I do wonder if this new cast for South Korea will then be carried over for the upcoming national tour.

I wonder if the rumored London run of Gatsby would get in the way."

Is that a thing that might be happening?

I must say I love that artwork.

Sutton Ross said: "Woah, that would be huge. I haven't really kept up with that show since I saw it in 2022. It was amazing. Is that a real possibility?"

According to Jordan that's been the case since 2023 lol

Sutton Ross said: "So, I think some will wait until after the actual awards but understand Jordan (that poster) has been doing this since joining this site. He is always hugely negative and I hope no one takes anything he says about shows closing at face value."

I'm still waiting for Kelly Clarkson to announce her stint in & Juliet to save it from imminent closure.

I continue to be amused by how much Broadway has changed in just a few years that even shows that gross over $1 million can now be viewed as being in trouble and basically on the brink of death. Not being snarky, just amused.

Let me rephrase: is everyone ok?
