Les MIs tour cast to Boycott Trump performance
 Jun 11 2025, 09:28:38 PM

“Dull, glowless skin. Waddling turkey necks. Sagging, shapeless breasts. And that's just the Presidential Box.”


2025 Tony Awards Reactions Thread
 Jun 9 2025, 02:33:06 AM

The horrible LED content was so jarring! Like, if you’re going to simulate sets flying in, then do it at the pace that a flyman  would do them! Coupled with the sound issues, I just can’t understand the direction of this show. 


Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film
 Jun 5 2025, 02:24:37 PM

The trailer visuals didn’t bother me nearly as much as it seems to bother others. It’s never going to look like Hal Prince’s brilliant staging, so I’m OK with it looking a little bit more like Mamma Mia! Here I Go Again, ha! I’m just happy (most of) the story is being told. 
 

That being said… My number one trailer pet peeve was utilized with the constant pounding drums trying to build momentum throughout. Why does every trailer


BOOP! x Tony Awards

My gosh, the Best Actress category really made me hate the Tony’s this year…


New version of TABOO to feature book by Jack Holden
 May 20 2025, 08:00:26 AM

Sutton Ross said: "CATSNYrevival said: "Just what the show needs. Another new book. That'll help."

HAHAHA. Right? Rosie is STILL pissed about the $10 million.
"

I remember when Nathan Lane came back to The Producers he slightly updated the “never put your own money in the show” line to “Never put your own money in the show. That’s Taboo.” That man is perfection. 


MAMMA MIA! Will Embark on 25th Anniversary North American Tour
 Apr 30 2025, 05:48:32 AM

My review on page one of this thread is still my thoughts months later, but now with the cast announcement I am a bit worried about the physical production. 
 

The cast is fantastic and Christine is literally one of my favorite Donna’s I’ve ever seen; but this is the entire tour cast which would lead me to believe the entire tour set will be loaded into the Winter Garden for this sit-down; which would be heartbreaking. I know nobody comes to Mamma Mia! for th


2025 - 2026 Touring Season
 Apr 16 2025, 05:14:30 PM

The Pantages is eatin’ GOOD this upcoming season. The crossword had me guessing so many different shows, and it turns out they’re adding a ton of different shows! See below, with the asterisks being the add on shows. 
    

  • *LES MISERABLES (Oct 7, 2025 - Oct 19, 2025) 
  • *HADESTOWN (Oct 21, 2025 - Nov 2, 2025)
  • *MOULIN ROUGE! THE MUSICAL (Nov 4, 2025 - Nov 16, 2025)
  • SUFFS (Nov 18 - Dec 7, 2025)

2025 - 2026 Touring Season
 Apr 8 2025, 10:34:37 PM

Broadway in Hollywood sent out an email today about “BIG NEWS” and another show announcement coming next week. They also had a link to a crossword with clues to the show as the answers…

The clue/answers were Dingdong, Showtime, Rollin, Diamonds, Glove, Flower and Queen. 
 

Any guesses?


Trump Awards
 Mar 17 2025, 06:05:33 PM

How can Trump hate Hamilton?!

The show features adultery, a crush on a relative, back room deals and it ends with an immigrant being shot. 

What’s not for him to love??


Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center
 Mar 13 2025, 11:35:58 PM

I am a member of IATSE in California and while we have our share of MAGAts, our particular union would definitely be more left. The communication from IATSE is also very left during election season.
 

I’m saying you’re wrong, but it’s a bummer that people who can use the security that their union provides to make a very well paid living also back a party movement that is anti-union. 


2025 - 2026 Touring Season
 Mar 7 2025, 04:55:58 PM

That being said, the Dolby undeniably has the best location for the Act II opener walk. At the Ahmanson Joe would just be wandering around a concrete terrace with no people, and at the Pantages he would be by parking lots and a Dunkin…

I’d love to see him try to bob and weave around Iron Man, Mickey Mouse and aspiring musicians instead!


2025 - 2026 Touring Season
 Mar 7 2025, 03:54:28 PM

My only guess with all of the shows at the Pantages is *maybe* Sunset Blvd will have an extended run at the Ahmanson?


MAMMA MIA! Will Embark on 25th Anniversary North American Tour
 Mar 4 2025, 09:19:16 PM

Is it completely bonkers to dream of Sherie Rene Scott playing Donna?


MAMMA MIA! Will Embark on 25th Anniversary North American Tour
 Mar 4 2025, 02:39:44 PM

Mamma Mia! is my all time favorite show, and I’m so happy I had second thoughts about a trip in April, so now we can do a trip in August!


Broadway at the Oscars 2025 Edition
 Mar 3 2025, 01:42:33 AM

All my love to Gene Hackman; but James Earl Jones is the VOICE of motion pictures, and absolutely deserved to be featured far more than he was. 


SUNSET BLVD. Revival
 Feb 27 2025, 11:11:00 PM

What does her apology and tickets for this show have in common?

 

I’m just not buying it.  


SUNSET BLVD. Revival
 Feb 27 2025, 10:03:52 PM

I have to agree.  I’d love to “rise above” and separate the art from the artist, but that red hat absolutely killed the HUGE ANTICIPATION I had to see this show. I had it on repeat on Spotify and had a trip to NYC planned with Sunset as the main attraction; and all of that went away. 
 

Luckily I live in LA, so hopefully the show comes here next with a different star…


2025 - 2026 Touring Season
 Feb 27 2025, 01:02:13 AM

Broadway in Hollywood announces on March 7th but today they announced Phantom will be an add-on production and will play the Pantages on June 24th - August 9th, 2026. 


Bernadette Peters & Lea Salonga to Lead OLD FRIENDS On Broadway
 Feb 12 2025, 06:19:16 PM

DAME said: "So.. what happened with David Harris?"

I am curious too! We’re seeing the show on Friday night and I was looking forward to seeing my favorite Zaddy!


Who's still out there from 2003?
 Feb 11 2025, 03:32:07 PM

I’m part of the original cast, a refugee from the Broadway.com board! I joined in July, but that was after lurking for a month or so. 
It took some time because I remember that a lot of the original users of this board were on the younger side, so the initial conversations were not very inspiring. There was actually a lot of praise for “Dance of the Vampires” which always makes me laugh.
My biggest claim to fame on this site is I was actually real life friends
