Could this mean that Chess is going into the Imperial and not the Broadhurst? 


my best and worst

No, they really couldn't have. RWHC's number was 2 minutes and 28 seconds. Just in Time ended at 2:38. A major problem with most of the numbers were that they were so rushed. RWHC in particular could have used more time to breathe and come off less frantic. (For those who think they should have done the title song, it clocks in at 3:46. How were they supposed to do that and provide the necessary context for why these women are taking their clothes off so it didn't seem exploitative?)

Those non-nominated shows also received less time than the nominated shows, most of which got three and a half minutes. Audra got 4:10.

Fair enough. I guess my feelings are irritation that they purposefully excludedBOOPandSMASH, both of whom were ready and willing to pay, while making room for these other two performances.
"

Or just maybe, we could have skipped Hamilton and give new shows a chance to be spotlighted.

What a shame that Boop didn’t get a slot at the Tonys- Jasmine deserves a showcase on national TV- she sounds fabulous. This is one of the best OBCR I’ve heard in a long time.

Does anyone know when opening night is? I want to go at the end of previews when the show is frozen.

Apparently Circle in the Square doesn’t participate with AR.

On TodayTix, you can bypass the queue on BroadwayDirect and tickets start at $166 for those dates. (Haven't gotten in to BD yet to see prices there yet).

Do you get Audience Rewards points for purchases through TodayTix?

I'm tempted, but with limited tim

I just hope the reviews are decent. Is it a perfect show? Absolutely not- but it’s fun, mindless night of theater. Jasmine Amy Rogers is a star! 


FLOYD COLLINS Previews

DramaTeach said: "I guess I’m considering Gatsby a bomb because I, many people I know and many critics hated it. I guess you’re right though; monetarily it’s not a bomb."

I’m not saying this applies to the majority of the people here, but a lot of the Floyd Collins negativity is from Gatsby crazed Jeremy fan girls who had zero clue what they were getting into with this show. That said, I’m not seeing it until June, and I’m sure it

never a good sign.

The email to ticketholders said that "Transforming the theatre into an intimate nightclub is taking longer than anticipated, and everyone on the production wants to provide you the very best Broadway experience imaginable."

The sky doesn't sound like it's falling just yet.

Is that even doable? Will everyone have to turn around during Don't Cry....or would the orchestra be reconfigured somehow like Cabaret?"

I was hearing the fire escape, another outdoor gimmick a la SUNSET BOULEVARD. No seat reconfiguration necessary, just live video.


Ryan McCartan / Inappropriate Gatsby Laughter

Gatsby gets shot...

Is this bad staging or a bad reaction?"

The staging is fine- people are fools. He mentioned that it wasn’t nervous laughter, too. And I know I’m old, but it still boggles my mind that people haven’t read the book and are shocked at the ending.

That said, I find his clap backs a bit unnecessary.

Switch out Jordan Fisher with Jordan Donica and it's the most perfect casting ever.

If they cast Jordan Donica, I’ll be there every day. 


AUDRA GYPSY Reviews

Fordham2015 said: "This message is on Telecharge. Sounds like both performances today?

Audra McDonald will be absent from the following performances:

February 19
February 22 - 23
June 30 - July 6
"

As of right now, there’s no exclamation point next to tonight’s performance- so I’m not so sure if she’s out or not.

Personally, they’re both miscast.
