It's not that those jokes are in bad taste- it's that they're hacky and tonally out of step with the show (a show set forty years ago!). The show manages to make political jokes that are toothle

CHESS Sets June 21 Closing
May 27 2026, 12:33:11 PM
It's very unfortunate when a show closes and actors, musicians, crew and theatre staff will be out of work. I consider myself fortunate to have seen the show twice. First time was in November, right after the opening, and the second time a few weeks ago. Loved every minute of it. Very unfortunate that cast member Casey Garvin was injured not long after the show opened, and wasn't able to return.
Several comments here on the thread re

Caps in theaters
May 26 2026, 05:41:55 PM
I'm 6'4", and very aware that with being so tall, I don't want to obstruct anyone sitting behind me. When I wear my baseball cap at the theatre, I always take it off before the show starts. A few times people behind me have asked if I could remove it, and I always say that I will remove it before the show starts. Problem solved.

Woman Of The Year Revival Anyone ???

Such a great show. Saw it with Betty & Raquel in NYC, and then again when Betty toured and the show came to Los Angeles at The Ahmanson Theatre.

Official: Jamie Lloyd's EVITA to open on Broadway in Spring 2027

OhHiii said: "It'll definitely be released on streaming. No one uses CDs in any meaningful way anymore, so Vinyl has become a big go-to for physical releases. They must not be doing a large pressing to cut down on production costs because who the hell is going to buy a $90 vinyl of Evita?"
Yes, $90 is a bit much for a vinyl. Who knew that vinyl would make a big comeback? I only purchase my music on cd. Have no clue on how to download or

Kad is correct. Casey Garvin has been doing personal fitness training for many, many years - in between Broadway shows.

Thanks for the update on Casey. That's too bad. Seeing "Chess" tomorrow night again. Bought the tickets many months ago, with the hope that he was returning.

Are Wednesday matinees still useful writ large?
Apr 29 2026, 09:19:45 AM
Got here on Saturday, and seeing 15 shows, including many a matinee - "Fallen Angel," "Ragtime," "Cats," "The Great Gatsby," "Two Strangers," Oh, Mary," and "Death of A Salesman." Love a matinee day, and a 3 show day on Saturday with OM's 5pm curtain.

Just In Time 3.0 - Jeremy Jordan
Apr 26 2026, 08:55:48 AM
Saw the show last night via a Standing Room ticket that I got 1 hour before curtain. JJ was fantastic! This was my 3rd time seeing it - loved it. Saw JJ in concert 2 weeks ago in Los Angeles. In regards to a previous post, last night I didn't see anyone with a look on their face of "let's go." And, if that's the case.......they are free to leave.

It's terrible. And, makes absolutely no sense at all.

Ragtime Tour? PBS Filming?
Apr 10 2026, 12:39:54 PM
It's quite possible that there could be a tour of the show. The majority of Broadway shows are filmed for archival purposes. Anything filmed for PBS, or commercial release is extremely expensive. Time will tell.
Where did you hear this? Or, are people just hoping?

Les Mis Radio City Casting
Apr 5 2026, 10:14:17 AM
theatrekid3302 said: "Hey, does anyone have any updates on who’s going to be in the Radio City Les Mis production.
I am suspecting Lea Michele as Eponine or Fantine because she is leaving Chess in June and not in September with the rest of the cast. She did Les Mis at the Hollywood Bowl as Eponine and obviously made her Broadway debut as Young Cosette and Young Eponine in the original production. Eponine has always been a dream role of hers."

Would love to see MM in the show, but I'll miss him by a week, and will be seeing JJ as Bobby D. Saw JG twice in the show. Have always enjoyed seeing MM perform over the years - be in on the Broadway stage, or concert halls. Such a talent.

Max Von Essen and Mandy Gonzalez were pretty epic and though I solely went because the buzz was that it would be closing soon, I wanted to add it to my list of flop shows I’ve seen. Did not expect to LOVE it so much and the audience was there with me and “got” it and had a glorious time. I still remember every time the lyrics of “turn around” from “Total E
