"Click HERE to visit the Broadway grosses"

Yeah, it's all there (including the graphic for tonight and the very clickable grosses)It's not my fault you're incredibly dense oractually think 44th Street in America's largest city is an "exact location", which was the funniest thing about that entire situation, which I still laugh about to this day.Read a map sometime if you can actually figure out how to hold one, babe.

Oh, sure Jan, you definitely were laughing and not mad about everyone calling you out. 

All you have to do is not have the personality of toxic waste, and no one would bother you. I guess that's just impossible for you.

What an annoying Debbie Downer.

I would love to see the original cast of Oklahoma! return to their original home. I guess everyone being dead means that won't be happening. 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/2/25
 Nov 4 2025, 04:01:07 PM

Rob Lake MAGIC is off to a poor start and unfortunately I think it will continue to do poorly because word of mouth is focusing on how little The Muppets actually appear. They are setting families up to be disappointed.

Makes me wonder if Much Ado about Nothing by Jaimie Lloyd will be announced.

It's iconic enough that it's still funny. People are still dressing up in costumes from shows that closed years ago.

Which, again, if it’s beaten into us by the Arbiter that the show starts is 1979 and was written in 1984, then it’s like when they revised “Shipoopi” for The Music Man to those new eye wateringly bad lyrics.

I looked into this a couple years ago. "Oriental " to describe a rug or setting (in this case) is perfectly correct,

Lenk's version of "Pirate Jenny" will be haunting and devastating, I fear. 


Rocky Horror Show Revival Cast

So we're really going to have months of debate about wether or not it's ok to talk to the stage? Here and Reddit will be filled with folks complaining that they couldn't hear the show because people were talking all through it?


Oracle: 42nd St and CAROUSEL
 Oct 27 2025, 11:38:59 PM

Most random thing I've ever heard of. Sabrina Carpenter in 42ND STREET produced by Rudin sounds like Mad Libs. 

I could see an "updated" CAROUSEL happening before that and I don't think that's likely either.

It is absolutely bizarre to say "I don't want to do their advertising for them" when asked for restaurant recommendations. What planet are you from?"

I understand it. Similarly, I never ever mention a show I like by name on this forum because I don't want to do their advertising for them, either.

I'm sorry, can you elaborate on this? Or are you being sar

It would seem your objection is with the union's statement, since the poster wasn't suggesting anything and was simply quoting.

Public statements by union presidents in a situation such as this have to be read with a grain of salt. They are negotiation PR. I don't fault a unio

How do Broadway actors leave the theatre when they skip the Stagedoor?
 Oct 18 2025, 06:49:42 AM

Every theater is different, so there isn't one answer. I think at Circle in the Square, for example, has an alternative exit if I remember correctly. 

I saw Carol Burnett's last matinee in Love Letters ten years ago. She walked out through the main doors of the lobby while everyone was lined up at stage door. One girl said "okay, I like her but that wasn't cool" lol. Gurl, leave that 80 year old alone.

As many remind us, in the new climate - seats purchased closer to performances - advance sales are not the indicators that they once were. If this show sustains comparable numbers for 3-4 weeks, we'll have a better read. But clearly, it's not the DOA show many predicted. It's a

They reported 100% capacity in their first week.

I don't know why, but I just can't stand that type writer font they are using on the art and the merch. Maybe it's just that two fonts are being used and that bothers me? 

Overall I think the merchandise looks good. I do like the black and pink.

I suspect a major goal was to demonstratethe need for producers to think more carefully about casting choices in light of opportunities for Asian actors, and I suspect that they succeeded in that particular goal.

No doubt. I would be surprised if Asian men weren't cast as Oliver going forward.
