IDK if I wasn't paying close enough attention or if it's this production, but I really didn't get that until the very end when he kicks out Betty before he's shot. He certainly accepted her gifts, but I fel

A mixed bag week, which I feel is pretty standard for this time of year. Rosh Hashanah was last week, which significantly reduces the Jewish audience. I'd wager that that was the reason for drops among many of the Plays and Suffs. Even the straight plays that increased grosses probably would've done a lot better with the holiday. 

Great first longer week for Sunset. Obviously not $305k per performance anymore, but this would be consistent with a $1.4 million full week, whi

From the NYT announcement article: "Thoday said he hopes that the original cast will come to New York, but that that depends on whether they are able to get visas." 

I have no idea how this process works. But, it hasn't seemed to be a problem for any other shows recently. Sunset Blvd. and Hills of California both have tons of UK-based actors. I believe in this show. But, it's also 100% giving "Adventures of a first-time producer," which is slightly

I don't think so. Definitely nothing to the level of Doll's House."

I would wait a bit before declaring Sunset a massive hit. The first performance was completely sold at full price, but that is not the case for the rest of the run at the moment. Not by a long shot. I have faith that it'll become the show yo

Oh Mary definitely wins this one. Absolutely no notes. They nailed the assignment. 

After Oh Mary are Outsiders, Little Shop, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Hamilton, MJ, Job, and Hills of California. 

I wish Stereophonic wasn't just one picture, but I think they did a great job of making that picture look like each decade it's supposed to represent. 

I really love all four of Hadestown's designs. But, there's 60s production photo one just doesn'

I’d like to think all four musical acting awards at the next Tonys are on lock now: Nicole Scherzinger, Tom Francis, Joy Woods, and Jak Malone.

The first rule of Audra McDonald is that you never count out Audra McDonald. There are a few others I could see pulling some upsets. But, yes. These four would certainly seem to be hea

Ugh, Prices are wild. I'm LOVING the description of the show on the website though. Sounds like a ton of fun.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Absolutely lived up to the hype. This is something special and absolutely worth seeing as soon as you can from the best seats you can afford. So glad I went for orchestra (at least for this first viewing; yes, I absolutely intend to go back).

This show is kinda like a movie and a stage musical had a baby, which feels like what such a hollywood-anchored show should feel. So many powerful and striking images. The Shubert Alley walk went perfectly and was incredible to witn

I ADORE this show, but I definitely recognize the challenges that it will face on Broadway. There are certainly shows that do well in London and don't in New York (and vice versa). But, I also don't think you can wholesale dismiss the success it's had in London just because of some different tastes. There are plenty of shows that are incredibly well-received, awarded, popular, and/or successful on both sides of the pond. 

I do think their digital strategy needs to be S
