To be fair—Kolton doesn’t owe an explanation beyond what they posted either. But this is a discussion board so people will, well, discuss."



I know exactly what it means, thanks. I wasn't referring to people who are wondering what happened, I was referring to people who are

Yeah--now that I've had chance to take a look at Kolton's actual post on this matter, but they don't mention receiving boos

This initial post in this thread seems to be misleading, though I suppose Kolton's post might confuse some, as they mention feeling it during their solo bow. 

Kolton has decided to forgo bows for the foreseeable future, but they don't really cite boos--just the feeling that the country is unsafe for trans and nobinary people

The jump from not understanding Kolton’s decision to “blaming” Kolton is a big one. It’s comments like these that we can point to and see why we are where we are in the country sometimes: is al

I don't think that's what inception is asking--I'd imagine they are asking why it's feasible for a six week run at BAM, when shows do brief runs on Broadway (like Good Night and Good Lukc). 


I think the answer is that BAM is a non profit, and though I don't know the financial specifics, they have the infrastructure where they regularly bring in foreign productions for brief runs. I'm not sure if these are at all profitable (hence...non profit), bu

I'm assuming the person who is disappointed their front row seat was not front row might be young and seeing theater for the first time, so I don't think we need to mock them. 

However I'd offer up to this person: 10 feet from the stage is incredibly close, and the cushion seats are on the floor, so this should not have affected your view of the show or your actual proximity to the action at all. You still had a better seat than those on the floor (how uncomfortabl

I saw this yesterday. I thought it was absolutely stunning. I have not yet seen the Cabaret revival so this was my intro to Rebecca Frecknall, and now I need to see everything she does. Stripping this play down this way somehow made it feel more carnal & more poetic than I’ve seen it before. 

 

Patsy Ferran is the star here in the cast. She is cast against type for Blanche—small, brunette, unglamorous—and she is fragile, wounded, yet also defiant,

So…prices are how much, again? For what isa rehearsal for Washington and a full performance for the rest of the company?"

Do you have a ticket for an upcoming p

The Distinctive Baritone said: "Othello speaks one third of the dialogue in the play (as does Iago). It is a TON of lines. Ten times out of 1,000 ain’t that bad, lol. I agree that in an ideal world an actor will never have to call for a line in front of an audience, but it was the first preview. Audiences know what previews are, right?"

Previews are for rewrites, restaging, and finessing tech elements of the show. Not for a lead actor who has been attached to t

Damn. I don’t want to be judge someone who is 70 struggling with lines—who knows what my memory will be like at that age? It affects everyone differently and I imagine is deeply frustrating for anyone who starts to see their memory go. Has Washington struggled with lines in the past?

 

At the same time, as someone who has performed a lot of it, I’d say that Shakespearean verse is usually one of the easier things to memorize because it has a rhythm and feel
