And then my entire Chrome instances crashed while in checkout. Good grief.

and Jordan isn’t kidding - $260 for a front mezzanine, geez. Gala “fundraiser” I guess…

Wish I could say the same - not letting me click any dates. Logged in and am a member so something not working.


THE GREAT GATSBY @ Paper Mill Playhouse Thread

MarilynMonroeSmash said: "I attended last night and this was probably one of the worst pieces of theater I have ever seen.

To preface, I must say the performances are excellent though. The cast is making the most out of nothing. I wish Jeremy was in the Florence Welch production because he’s a great Gatsby; he just has terrible material to work with. I also enjoyed some of the direction and the sets (except for Gatsby’s mansion, which looked like a factory), bu


Stephanie J. Block to lead SUNSET BOULEVARD at the Kennedy Center
 Aug 24 2022, 02:22:32 PM

I was able to get what appeared to be about the last Guys and Dolls ticket for the final Saturday two shows, ex-companion seats or what seems to be recently released extreme side obstructed view seats. Not great but I’ll take it. 
 

also booked tickets for Papermill’s Sound of Music and Rent, neither of which I’ve seen on stage, so it was an exciting (and expensive) day! 


Anything new on the rumored Groban-lead Sweeney?

I’ve considered trying to engage with him in comments and ask him bluntly whether he acknowledges the **considerable** change in terms of diversity in casting and productions brought to Broadway and other major v


Anything new on the rumored Groban-lead Sweeney?
 Aug 24 2022, 09:23:56 AM

What are some some supporting role dreamcasts?

read a social media comment about Patrick Page as Turpin rumors.

No idea about her Groban relationship from Great Comet, but Denée Benton seems a likely Johanna contender? Ariana DeBose, Joaquina or Aisha Jackson? Ashley Park, Pippa, someone from Six rising fame?

Anthony… Jordan Donica, Matt Doyle (Barrow Street production), Jordan Fisher…?

DCS said: "BCfitasafiddle said: "I don't anticipate people will willing to pay Hugh Jackman or Bette Midler prices for this. Myself included."

Groban has a huge following; so, I wouldn't be surprised to see this be a hot ticket for the first several months of its run.


"

Not only that, but a huge following that when made as a Venn diagram with the biggest theater ticket buying demo, is practically a circle - middle Alag

Actors are known to go to shows for, like, fun and to support friends, too.

Ciara Renee was sitting right in front of me at ITW, and Afra Hines right in front at Encores Tap Dance Kid… from the looks of it, coincidentally both to see and support their friend Joshua Henry (among othe

All tickets are showing up as $149 for me. Oddly enough, availability seems to be worst in January?

Re: January, no idea if this is a cause, but as someone whose partner and usual 2nd ticket seatmate will be slammed with Nutcracker rehearsals and performances until after Christmas… January is my likely target b


SING STREET ??
 Aug 19 2022, 11:22:04 AM

Casting changes seemed inevitable - time and aging of young cast aside - given the changing social winds from before vs after the pandemic.

 

will definitely miss Gus Halper, the character was a highlight of the movie and NYTW staging, and the song they gave him was great and he knocked it out of the park

Night Music at Barrington Stage
 Aug 11 2022, 09:15:07 PM

I saw opening preview on Aug 6. I’d not seen the show before but have really embraced Sondheim since the pandemic, and listened to the original cast album a lot plus read plenty of analysis on particular scenes as covered in The Secret Life of the American Musical. I haven’t seen a ton of regional or summer shows but overall I felt it was terrific. No glaringly weak performances, a few exceptional ones, some music - lyrics timing/rhythm trips in Now/Later and Miller’s Son wh


Waitress Casting

“Perfect” may get thrown around too liberally sometimes, but “perfect casting” is all I can think of with Josh Henry (and Ciara).  Cannot wait. Was wondering if if find reason for a 10th visit, and here it is.


CSC’s ASSASSINS Revival - Previews
 Nov 3 2021, 04:31:03 PM
I don’t know htf I let this slip by me - I have been dying to see Pasquale live and see some Sondheim and invested in a project Swenson is attached to and would love to see him perform….. and to add insult to injury, this is a block away from the apartment I lived in for three years until September. Well done, me!

Sure hope some cancellations happen or I score in the lottery or they extend and I bad tickets!
