I am proof of this.  Despite being someone who has been going to the theatre (in the UK) since the early 90s, I did not recognise Audra when she was the guest producer at the final night of Gutenberg! which I attended.  I mentioned it on here and was mocked by a couple of people so I am please

I'd love to see this on my next NY trip, but that's not until January.

As a Brit I can concur.  Why are customers expected to supplement a worker's wage so that the employer can make more profit?  Ridiculous.  I've worked retail my whole life and mostly on minimum wage which is far below the average wage in the UK, but at least I can survive on it without hoping for handouts from customers.

2024 Tony Awards

Being in the UK I am relying on clips uploaded on social media, but so far I have been unable to find one that shows Radcliffe's category in full - "...and the nominees are..."  If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

I considered it, but seeing as it's impossible to delete accounts here, I figured I may as well just plough on.

MrJNLong said: "Scenic should be Here Lies Love. 7 nominees here, but none that really were exciting to me besides HLL. Well, except Back to the Future, but...it was too theme parkey for me."

You guys have theme park shows that cost a million dollars a week to stage?  Blimey!  Here in the UK they chuck a few members of park staff and someone in a mascot costume onto a tiny, bare stage and call it a day.

Jonathan Cohen said: "Back to the Future was the one show from the season I was most confused why they made it a musical."

Because the original is a larger than life story and musicals are larger than life.  Plus Bob Gale said he wanted it to feel like an alternate universe telling of the story.  He wanted to give it a different spin.  It's a shame that the new songs aren't popular, but just as with Eurovision, it's almost imp

It was over the million mark last week.

AKarp2013 said: "Same with Back to the Future.They're not the box office powerhouse they were for a short while there but the summer is going to give them a huge boost. They'll make it through the fall and then go out on a high note during the holiday season."

I hope not.  I just booked another trip for January.  Would they really extend through to April if they were worried about their figures?


Best song in each new musical?

Back To The Future - 21st Century

The Pet Shop Boys are my favourite band and this electro pop song is presented like a Pet Shop Boys gig.


What is the BEST Show You Have Seen on Broadway

BeingAlive44Ever said: "LuckyDipster said: "I have seen four shows on Broadway. I enjoyed them all."

Oh what were they?

In order of how much I enjoyed them:

Back To The Future - It was the reason I made the trip from the UK (to see Roger again) so, from a sentimental viewpoint, it was always going to be my favourite.  Quality of writing or anything else was never going to factor into it.  My h

Yes, our tickets were under $100 and we did buy them several months in advance.


What is the worst production you have ever seen on Broadway? What is the worst show?

You say that like you've never seen the movie.

inception said: "Hamilton...Aladdin? Really?"

It's the age old thing of people thinking their own personal taste equates to the quality level of a show which is, of course, daft.  We all have instances of sitting through a show that we are not enjoying, but when it happens to me, I just shrug and think "oh well, it wasn't my jam."  I've only seen four shows on Broadway and I enjoyed them all so I cannot comment on a least
