CHESS (2025 Broadway Revival) Reviews

Was Lea always scheduled off tonight, or is that a new development? Telecharge has an alert on the ticketing page saying she's out.


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/3/26

Also, realistically, would Idina be able to sing Helen 7 times a week? Not even trying to be shady, voices age.


CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Review - 1 Minute Critic

Cis women have been walking categories since, at least, the early 90s. Ballroom is really expansive and inclusive, and as long as you're talented, an ally, and respectful of the culture, most won't have a problem. For example, Baby Byrne (who plays Victoria) has been walking balls long before The Jellicle Ball was conceived.


CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Review - 1 Minute Critic

They do have a performance on Tuesday. TDF offered free membership to any graduating senior in the NYC school system, and anyone who signed up was entered into a raffle for tickets to Tuesday's performance. I think it's really cool they did this, but I understand your sentiment. I would have absolutely bought a ticket if it were a regular public performance. Happy they'll have a young, enthusiastic audience on such a celebratory day, though!


Moulin Rouge to Close on Broadway

Megan posted on Instagram that her final performance is now May 1. Originally, she was slated to play through May 17.


CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Previews

Caught this last night. Thrilling, electric, and so on. Was wondering how this would transfer, and honestly, I think I enjoyed the condensed space more than the sprawling openness of PAC. The energy was through the roof. Guest judges were Jeremy Pope and a current mother of a ballroom house, but I didn't quite catch who.

Of all the genius of this reimagining, I think Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are one of the highlights of the night. So smartly conceptualized and a joy to wat


Rumor: Edward Albee's THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA? Broadway Revival starring Steve Carell and Sarah Paulson

Bug opened in January this season.


Rumor: Edward Albee's THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA? Broadway Revival starring Steve Carell and Sarah Paulson

This is coming in January with Sarah Paulson and Pedro Pascal, directed by James Lapine, as confirmed here

The quote:

"Now, Lapine is finishing his second book, following 2021’s “New York Times” bestseller “Putting It Together: How Stephen Sondheim and I Created Sunday in the Park with George.” In January he will direct Edward Albee’s “The Goat” on Broadway starring Pedro Pascal and Sarah Paulson."


The Rocky Horror Show Playbill Design

I really am quite shocked that they haven't figured out/integrated a stance on audience participation from the get-go. I also don't understand the "It's not the movie!" argument. I've seen the movie, but my experience with Rocky is mainly through the dozens of regional/community productions I've seen (not screenings, not shadow casts, full-on theatre productions). The call-out culture is a huge part of the experience. 

I could understand having a


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 2/22/26

Do we have any info on what Oh, Mary!'s breakeven is? I'm sure they're fine as they've weathered these sorts of grosses during Gilpin's run (the most underrated Mary imo), but I'm just curious about the weekly nut. 


OH, MARY! Reviews

Total shot in the dark, but maybe our next Mary is Donna Murphy? The first two names Cole ever mentioned before replacements ever came to fruition were Tituss & Donna. It's been a decade since she last been on Broadway with Hello, Dolly, so that tracks. Plus, the show has proven to be a hit without a star name, so they might feel comfortable enough to let her lead it, especially if they cast more starry names around her.

Maybe I'm crazy, but it would make the theatre commun


OH, MARY! Reviews

I think it's most likely that people are conflating the character named "Mary's Husband" and "Mary's Husband's Assistant". Tony has been out this week, Kumail has been on.


OH, MARY! Reviews

theblackumbrella said: "Sorry if it’s been addressed earlier in the thread, but any idea why the directorial credit changed from Directed By to Entire Production Directed By?"

I believe it's been that* way from the beginning. It's a cheeky nod to golden age productions, mainly when choreographers began directing. I have a West Side poster that reads "Entire production directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins."


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/28/25

That number for Six is brutal.


Rocky Horror Show Revival Cas

I heard the Chalamet rumor a while ago, and I too did not believe it could happen until I saw he recently attended Oh, Mary and went backstage for a photo op. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but based on a cursory Google search, it doesn't seem like something Chalamet does often, if at all. 

Plus, post-Oscars spring through early summer runs are prime time for bigger film/TV folks to take on stage work, i.e. Kieran Culkin, Jean Smart.

I wouldn't be sur


LuPone on McDonald

It was a holiday weekend, grosses won't be out until tomorrow. 


DEATH BECOMES HER Reviews

Also, looking at the opening night playbill scan, all four actors are above the title. Has that changed since opening?


DEATH BECOMES HER Reviews

ACL2006 said, "feels like I repeat myself about this once a week. but Hilty & Simard should have had Dee Roscioli on & ready as a standby by opening night. they had to know during the Chicago run how demanding both roles would be."

For all we know, they did know and asked for just that. Between the understudies not having proper costumes for months and a standby not being added until months after people had noticed the frequency of absences, it seems the prod


Nicole Scherzinger

I'm not getting involved here but:

EntrActe, I want to make clear that TikTok you posted is from a fan account. That is not Nicole's official TikTok page. The one from her official account does not include that song.


Audra McDonald teaser video -- yikes!!!

I'm unsure why anyone would expect Audra to sing this score differently. Mama Rose ain't Billie Holiday.
