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

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

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

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."

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. 

 

 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/3/24
 Nov 5 2024, 03:30:42 PM

Moana 2 hits theatres at the end of the month, I assume Cravalho's planned absences are to fulfill press obligations for the movie. Makes sense that Cabret producers would want her in the show during the holiday week.


Horror On Broadway?
 Jul 4 2024, 01:56:14 AM

I remember Misery starring Bruce Willis & Laurie Metcalf. I ended up in the 3rd row on a whim, the first time I saw Metcalf onstage, and was thrilled by her performance; I was laughing one minute and utterly terrified the next. I was skeptical going in because Bates' Oscar-winning performance was so iconic, but I had forgotten about it by the end. Metcalf was just such a force, totally owned it and made it her own. I never missed anything she did onstage in NY after that.

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews
 Apr 22 2024, 08:48:03 PM

TaffyDavenport said: "Ok, I didn't realize Marty had announced that already. Thanks. I know Gabi Campo and Paige Smallwood are the Sally understudies, so it might beone of them."

I just went back to look at Marty's post and the caption was edited and now reads "Victor, Emcee u/s" so maybe I misspoke.


CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews
 Apr 22 2024, 07:26:18 PM

"Will the Emcee/Sally alternates starting in June come from the existing cast's understudies, or should we be expecting 2 new additions?"

I believe they're in-cast. I know Marty Lauter (aka Marcia Marcia Marcia from RuPaul's Drag Race) announced they are the Emcee alternate for Mondays on Instagram when the cast was revealed. They play Victor normally.

Not sure about Sally. 


Rumor - A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC Broadway Revival 2025
 Mar 24 2024, 09:22:46 PM

I'm pretty sure this isn't true but at the same time, Jamie Lee Curtis schmoozed and networked her way into an Oscar she didn't deserve based on good-will and legacy, so her finding a producer for this wouldn't shock me. Not to mention, it would absolutely sell. Weirder things have happened! 


HERE LIES LOVE closing November 26
 Nov 7 2023, 12:41:20 PM

I loved this show but what an example of poor producing. Do we think it will be remembered come Tonys time, or will it just be too crowded of a season? 


Who could replace Josh Groban?
 Sep 30 2023, 09:01:31 PM

I thought of Awkwafina but I'm not sure she could handle the score nor do I think her casting would move tickets. I saw a lot of suggestions on social media that it may be Queen Latifah (rapper/has voiced characters in all the Ice Age movies). It's not the first role that I'd imagine her in but it would definitely pique my interest!


Hilty, Simard, and More Will Lead a Private Reading Of DEATH BECOMES H
 Sep 6 2023, 12:01:47 PM

This is one of my all-time favorite films. I doubt the humor itself is too niche as the film is a camp classic because of how theatrical and stylized the performances come off; if anything it's a more natural fit for the theatre. Whether or not the title will encourage ticket sales for the general public outside of gay men and film cultists, I couldn't say. 

I just hope they don't try to overly futz with it or lean too heavily into the zany that it becomes something el


SPAMALOT To Play The St James This Fall

^ It's heavily rumored that only Kritzer & Urie are transferring from DC with the rest of the leading roles padded with big names. We'll see. 


Lillias White in Hadestown??
 Jul 18 2023, 08:44:52 PM

She sings main vocals in about 3-4 songs throughout the evening, but I wouldn't say any of it is out of Betty's range. I'm more interested to see what she does acting wise and she's such a departure from previous interpretations. 


Cabaret on Broadway
 Jun 15 2023, 11:14:54 PM

Jessice Buckley is an Oscar nominated film actress who just won a whole slew of other honors this past year for her performance in Women Talking. She's very in demand in the film world currently, so it's far from shocking she's not coming along. 


Groban & Ashford in SWEENEY TODD On Broadway
 Jun 14 2023, 12:18:29 AM

To be fair, Jordan stated in his Instagram post about leaving the show that his exit date has been planned since the very beginning. I imagine there would be a lot more gossip and hubub from other sources if that weren't the case. 


Anyone seeing a first performance post-Tony win tonight?
 Jun 14 2023, 12:07:57 AM

Do you think babies just magically appear? His wife has been pregnant since this show has gone into previews. I'm sure I do not have to explain how that could be a sensitive time for an inumberale amount of reasons. I'm glad the production gave him a cover.
