Peter Dinklage, Lupita Nypng'o, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Sandra Oh to star in Shakespeare in the Park's TWELFTH NIGHT
 Jul 5 2025, 05:13:40 AM

If you want a decent seat get there 4-6 hours early.  Otherwise you'll be sitting with the squirrels. 


Trump takeover of Kennedy Center
 May 30 2025, 10:30:20 PM

I also have a legal question. Are audiences contracted to attend any Kennedy performance under its new leadership? 


A Casino in Times Square?
 May 5 2025, 08:51:04 AM

Not in Times Square. Hudson Yards or Coney possibly. By the way, are we talking about real casinos or faux casinos (Resorts World, etc.)


Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center
 Feb 10 2025, 01:23:10 PM

I'm still hung up on trying to figure out if Canada will be the 51th or 52nd State after Gaza. Trump is also now talking about a 3rd term, but I think he should be most worried about a second term now because as far as I know the 25th Amendment has not been revoked. 


First solo London trip! (Advice & recs, please)
 Jan 19 2025, 05:16:56 PM

Crossing streets can be treacherous. Cars come in from, er, wrong direction and always fast.  


ALL IN: COMEDY ABOUT LOVE Reviews
 Jan 17 2025, 02:18:33 AM

Is it anything like 'Nothing On'?


Playbill leaves Twitter
 Jan 8 2025, 12:09:05 AM

As soon as I learned Musk let Alex Jones back on Twitter I couldn't get off it fast enough. I honestly don't know anyone would want to share that platform with that thing. 


2025 - What Shows Are You Highly Anticipating
 Dec 28 2024, 03:31:46 PM

Absolutely Dorian Gray and Operation Mincemeat (big fan of the old movie 'The Man Who Never Was' with Clifton Webb).. 


ALL IN: COMEDY ABOUT LOVE Reviews
 Dec 23 2024, 07:53:57 PM

I'm also surprised that there are no women involved in readings about love. On Broadway, yet. 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 10/20/24
 Oct 22 2024, 06:50:03 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if 'Left AT Tenth' is the surprise sleeper hit of the decade. 600K isn't bad for such a modest production. As for Tammy Faye isn't that somewhat similar to the Aimee Semple McPherson musical which had some big guns promoting  it (Kathy Lee certainly). If that wasn't successful I don't see how Tammy Faye could do better.


MCC's 'SH!T. MEET. FAN.' Cast Announced
 Oct 17 2024, 02:49:54 AM

Just one of these actors - Debra certainly - would be enough to interest me in this play. Two or three of them working together in any dynamic story would make it a must-see. But so many...well, sometimes more can be less. 


DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
 Oct 5 2024, 06:23:29 PM

When I pass I'm afraid they'll just unscrew 6 bulbs. 


LEFT ON TENTH Previews
 Sep 26 2024, 12:36:07 PM

I read Delia's book 'Hanging Up' some years ago and she is no slouch as a writer. (The movie didn't translate) This play will have my highest attention. 


The Griswalds' Broadway Vacation (World Premiere First Performance Tonight!)
 Sep 21 2024, 03:51:52 PM

I enjoyed the movies but mostly because the quirky comedy of Chevy matched the story and writing to a tee. The rest of the cast - Beverly particularly - also a perfect fit. How they can reclaim that on stage with different actors would seem to be impossible. Except for the 'vacation' premise they're starting from zero. 


THE ROOMMATE Reviews
 Sep 15 2024, 03:09:12 PM

'Highland Guy": First poster to be concerned for Mia's well being and wishing her well. I'll be number 2. 


Red Alert! - Dr. Strangelove West End Autumn 2024
 Sep 5 2024, 07:46:18 PM

When Groundhog Day was adapted as a musical someone said no one should have tried to put a flawless movie on stage and that's why it failed.  Might be even more true with Dr. Strangelove.


BROOKE SHIELDS ELECTED ACTORS’ EQUITY PRESIDENT
 May 25 2024, 12:44:45 PM

Fran Drescher has smarts and cojones! That's what you need to run a Union. Brooke Shields...not optimistic but good luck to her. 


Catherine O’Hara/ Eugene Levy cost guest
 Mar 15 2024, 10:23:44 PM

As artists both would be invaluable to any production, but commercially problematic.


THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA musical headed to the UK and West End in 2024
 Feb 18 2024, 02:30:20 PM

I enjoyed the movie on the basis of its wit and the cast. But something the producers may not have considered is how much of the ticket buying general public would be interested in the fashion industry? For most, I think, it would spell dullsville.


Todd Haimes marquee looks less than appealing
 Feb 4 2024, 04:59:18 PM

I think the marquee name as shown is good. It's simple and straightforward. If there are to be flourishes they should be reserved for the title of the show playing.
