I'd be surprised if it wasn't a mega flop.

Many of the press outlets (BWW included) are ignoring the billing in the show's official release and (incorrectly) assuming it is the same as it was on the TV show. In the show, Ivy and Karen are not"co-leads". In the show

Oedipus and The Fear of 13 with Adrien Brody were the best I saw.

Oedipus was the best from  all I saw.

Adrien Brody is very charming in the touching The Fear of 13.

getatme said: "whatacharacter said: "Have any dates been announced for Caroline Bowman?"

All scheduled dates are for Mandy currently. I'd be shocked if Bowman ever goes on. Mandy is the alternate and the first cover, if Nicole ever calls out, Mandy will be asked to come in (if she wants since she only needs to actually be at the theatre on her scheduled day).

My guess is Bowman will never get a show before she leaves in the spring.

DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
 Oct 4 2024, 10:20:54 PM

BorisTomashevsky said: "Really, the mistake was made whenever this began being handed out like a participation trophy. At the start, according to the below article, it was irregularand far between: 1952 for Gertrude Lawrence, then 1960 for Oscar Hammerstein II, then Alfred Lunt in 1977. Surely importantpeople died in the years between those occasions, but they didn’t get a dimming.

People now seem to expect it as a matter of course. I’d ask who WON’T they demand a full dimming for? Where does it begin and end? Oh, you’re saying so-and-so didn’t contribute as much as Gavin Creel or Marin Mazzie did?

What is capricious is the full vs partial approach.

Dim them all or not at all. No one is partially worth this tribute, or is he worth 50% of the lights? The partial lights is most insulting.

Yeah, but she has a Tony.

Which is irrelevant because the run is almost entirely sold out.

The show being awful is irrelevant because it is sold out?  OK.

No, I wouldn't say so. If you hate the music, stay away - the concept in itself won't turn your dislike.

Cigarette smoking, specifically the mother’s disdain of it, the moments she permits it and its significance for the kids’ rebellion, is kind of a running theme throughout the show."

Thanks for the heads up. I'm finding harder to sit through sh

Sorry but that sounds so generic and trite.
