Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/5/24  May 8 2024, 12:02:16 AM

EDSOSLO858 said: "HenryTDobson said: "Six is also starting to struggle. Do we think it'll close soon and move off-Broadway? Moulin Rouge is still selling super well - do they currently have a famous person in the cast? I didn't think so..."

Boy George departs the Broadway company on Sunday.

Ohhhh that's good to know! 

 


Balcony experience at Merrily?  May 6 2024, 01:22:05 AM

I was in the 4th to last row of the center balcony and the only thing I missed were the heads of the band - but saw all the action on stage perfectly.  The rake is steep at the Hudson so unless you’re on the very far left or right you don’t miss anything. 


LEMPICKA closing May 19  May 4 2024, 12:16:57 PM

That’s why her nomination was so surprising to me. You’d think singing on key would be the floor for performing on Broadway. 


Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler to star in ROMEO & JULIET on Broadway?  Apr 16 2024, 03:26:48 PM

Any rumors/guesses who will be playing Mercutio? Nurse? Surely Sam Gold has his favorites...

QueenAlice said: "My point being that if they are recording an album of the show's music, the songs are all going to be very short unless they are augmented for the recording."

They've already recorded it and are calling it an EP. Hopefully they'll release it close to when the Tony nominations are announced '

KevinKlawitter said: "The Distinctive Baritone said: "For any Chekhov fans who haven’t seen it, I highly recommend the Conor McPherson version with Toby Jones.They filmed it onstage in an empty theater after it was shut down by COVID. The acting is exceptional and McPherson does a great job of making the language sound contemporary.

Wish I could see this version - Steve Carrell is a perfect Vanya I’m sure.

Hugh Bonneville will be starring in a production of McPhereson's Vanya as part ofBerkeley Rep's 24-25 Season

and in Washington DC next spring

I was told a number that’s SIGNIFICANTLY higher than 24 for &ldqu

Any casting rumors other than Solea?

starlightexpress2 said: "Is there any chance that they'll extend the run? Going to NY in November and kinda bummed I'll miss this. It's a pretty short run already so I'm guessing that even if they did it wouldn't be long enough for me to see it."

This immediately became the frontrunner for Best Play at the Tonys so I can't imagineit will close in July if it wins a slew of awards. I'm guessing the cast has extensions to  Labo

Not that I’m representative of anything but my own opinion, but I wasn’t really interested in seeing this, but I amveryinterested now.

Same!

The west end production starring Amber Riley was supposed to transfer but the shutdown foiled those plans

Bummed Tom Hollander isn't transferring with it.

For me, I've always been partial to "The Last One You'd Expect" fromGentleman's Guide.

"Only two people left still alive who stand between the Earldom and Me"

*Lord Asquith Dysquith dies of a heart attack*

"...Only one person left still alive who stands between the Earldom and Me"

Melissa25 said: "Preview pricing ($120, $80, $40) on Telecharge now 4/3 - 4/18. Just got two decent orchestra seats for $80 each. I’m happy.

Preview period also has shows on Mondays as well as all days 7pm /1pm start.
"

7pm every evening is a DRAG for me - I can never get out of work that early so my only choices now are Saturdays - at least one night a week should be 8pm

Dave13 said: "If Victoria Clark takes of a show, do we know what days it is? I am planning seeing it on a Sunday night, but I tend to think that is iffy for any lead. I also want to see Bonnie as well."

Victoria is off Tuesday and Sunday evenings with the new schedule ( no Wednesday matinees since new years)

I just said the same to my friend when I read the news (I'm guessing the Sunset announcement is why they dropped this tidbit today)
