Mezzo D, your attitude is nasty and your "contributions" are unnecessary. Quiz king is an asset to this board, unlike you.

Maybe that audience had already seen it downtown? I just don't think there was a "hunger" for this title (reimagined or not) like there was with Gypsy, Chess, Sunset, etc."Maybe, but those all lost money too."As I posted, they didn't recoup but still had great sales in the beginning.

Did posting this response make you feel like you did something???

John Adams said: "quizking101 said: "[...] considering some people might mourn a show they won’t be able to see, I figure this might motivate some people to go if they can, should I be correct."So, that's the "panic run on ticket sales" I described in Post #21.The purpose of your post is in the hope that your post will make that scenario a reality?" Sit down, John, you're a bore and we've heard this before.

Seems silly that they wouldn't seeing its free advice from the audience you want to win over."I don't know. We're a very small sample of essentially anonymous names lacking any of the usual demographic information upon which decisions might commonly be made. They might find useful anecdotal information here that they could run through their own decision-making filters, but as has bee...

I’m just disappointed that I didn’t get to see it one more time because I’m not paying over $200 for a $79 seat. But good for them for finding suckers willing to do so." You are starting to sound like America's Sweetheart.

UWS10023 said: I doubt Billy has any more interest in the demands of Broadway. And as for Lincoln Center, word around my UWS neighborhood is that a Shakespeare play is being mounted after Ragtime closes. You heard it here." In the sense that Sorkin is the American Shakespeare, sure.

I treasure the video of Jessye as Sieglinde. O hehrstes Wunder!

Lincoln Center's Met Opera has presented Black artists as European characters for years. If we can have a Black Mimi we can have a Black Maria at the Lincoln Center Theater. Musicals are not documentaries.

We all wish Brody would put his phone down and dunk his head in the pool for an extended period of time.

First day of rehearsal though, Harvey apparently came in and said “Well, they’re both dead now.”"I wonder what their (Arthur and Jerry) thinking was behind refusing an all black concept. It worked for Dolly back in the day.

Lot666 said: "Those of you indicating Three Days of Rain, is that confirmed?"No, it is only rumored at this point.

Three Days of Rain, Spring '27.

At least Kathy Griffin will get to go on. She's been talking up her "Broadway Return" on her YouTube channel.

No thanks, Gwynocide.

If Cynthia does Fosca it will be because it's a complex, challenging role written by one of the greatest composers of all time, in a first class production.

I'm really surprised Gatsby is on track to recoup, but good for them. I can't imagine what German novel he's referring to.
