Help! Has anyone postdated at SUFFS??? Thanks Megabus..

I take Megabus very frequently. My experience is that the traffic gets especially bad when your scheduled arrival time is around 5pm-7pm. I always try to book ones that arrive no later than 3:30pm if I'm catching an evening show. Those have been fairly reliable.

Sleep No More - what kind of shape is it in?
May 14
2024, 08:44:30 AM
I just saw 2 shows on Sunday to say goodbye. My favorite Macbeth/Porter Paul Zivkovich is back! He was amazing as both characters. The show itself is in great shape; the bad is usually the audience. Both shows, I saw people following actors with 3 feet away like a shadow, even when they are clearly staying in the room for a while performing a scene. To be honest, if you're a first-timer, it's going to be challenging to follow main characters with this crowd. But this is

I saw it last Saturday. This honestly feels like an extension of Octet, which I loved. Octet had 8 characters telling their stories. Three Houses introduced 3 more, only that each story is now half an hour long. Maybe it's me not being emotionally ready to relive the trauma of the pandemic; maybe the stories did meander a bit too much and lacked a punch, I was left unsatisfied. Obviously the show is still in preview and a lot could improve, but at the moment, it feels

I hope it does transfer.
Also would love to see a Bway production of Fairview"
I would love to see Fairview brought back to a local stage, but I have trouble imagining how it could work or

Could you maybe point me in the direction of this bootleg concert recording?
Many thanks :) no worries if not"
There's more than one. In 2013 he did a concert at 54 Below, with guests Steven Pasquale and Whitney Bashor. He sang 4 songs from Millions: Find Me,

Congrats to Wet Brain! I loved this weird little play. But Stereophonic is probably going to win best play. Having seen all 5 musical nominees, my vote goes to Dead Outlaw. I would be happy if Teeth wins too.

Welch’s GATSBY to premiere in 2024
Jan 6
2024, 10:08:34 AM
Honestly it'd be fun to have both running on Broadway at the same time. It'd be this year's Barbenheimer. I bet many would try to see both on the same trip. Then word of mouth would decide which one is the greater Gatsby and the other would die out quickly. The ads would be fun too, each trying to clarify that this is not the other Gatsby.

Audra McDonald-led GYPSY for 2024-2025 Season?

singer234 said: "I had the same thought about her voice. I worry that this is a case of the “suttons” (aka an established musical theatre star who keeps taking on roles she’s not “right for” to push herself and because she wants to play them). Regardless, I doubt Audra would do it if she wasn’t sure she’d be brilliant, so I’m keeping an open mind!"
Audra sang Rose's Turn in one of her concerts not long ago. She soun

I saw it at 54 Below as a concert 2 years ago. It was quirky and fun. Can't wait to see what a full production looks like and hear the new songs!

Did The Lion King and Aladdin usually participate in Broadway Week? These are the only 2 Broadway theaters I haven't been in. I need to cross them off the list.
