He was great with Betty and outshined Tituss when I saw him. You’re in good hands!

That's a change. Martin Landry was originally covering the role for the week. Also makes me wonder if he'll rejoin the show when Jane comes in.
"

I can see him coming back for Hannah’s 2 weeks, but there will be a new Abe with Jane
"

Anyone know who the knew Abe is with Jane?

These numbers are not sustainable and I'm not convinced all of these shows will open.

These numbers are really shocking and also with that NYS tax credit very much up in the air, If I was

I mean how many stars do we know are coming to Broadway this season or in the immediate future, I know we have confirmed this season confirmedAlex Winter & Keanu Reeves, James Corden, Neil Patrick Harris, Bobby Cannava


No tax credit and raising for shows this season.

GottaGetAGimmick420 said: "You think the tax credit leaving is bad for Broadway? Try excluding co-producer types and their money. Broadway runs on egos and money, whether anyone on this board likes it or not!"

Wasn't there a kerfuffle about this last year or the year before where the co-producers weren't allowed to go up to the stage at the Tonys and it was a big deal?


Kowalski Broadway Transfer / Coin

Like Joan Rivers used to say, "Is this bitch putting me on?"
"

I also like this from their FAQ-

Even in the event of poor performance, Kowalski Coin retains value through its NFT component, which has collectible and artistic value. Additionally, the capped supply could still drive demand among fans and collectors.

‘Proof’ Revival to Open at A Shubert theatre but not THE Shubert Theatre

Between this and Dog Day Afternoon, Bear fans are going to have a busy spring!


Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025
 Aug 14 2025, 06:30:46 AM

getatme said: "Sunset also waited to transfer the following season and it didn't hurt them. ALW isn't going to let Cats and Evita compete, Jamie's dance card is filling up, and the logistics involved with the balcony scene will also take more time to figure out. Fall gives them all time to figure things out."

The Cats announcement states that his next broadway projects are Cats and the Illusionist ( I guess based on the novel/film?) so this seems like Evi

I'd have to imagine they would have some type of out of town tryout first?

Agreed!! Graphic Designer here (although I do not work in theater space). There are a few really glaringly obvious thin

CBS to cancel ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’
 Jul 18 2025, 07:26:12 AM

Blow Gabriel said: "It ends in May just in time for him to host next years Tony’s. I’m sure there will be many opportunities for him, he could also do a late night show somewhere else?"

Except the Tonys are broadcast on CBS/Paramount - no way they are agreeing to that.

West End and Broadway debuts in the same season for Hunter is pretty impressive (and overdue IMHO)

You say yourself that you had no interest in seeing it. There are others who feel the same myself included. I live in Massachusetts but come down to

it's not giving George Clooney but for a black box play in Brooklyn this is a pretty stacked cast

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/8/25

Kad said: "No major developments here- the strong shows remain strong, the struggling shows continue to struggle. Modest upticks for Boop, Dead Outlaw, and RWHC won't help them much.

Cabaret needs to do something soon, though. It hasn't recouped and I don't think it's had a profitable week in a while.
"

Wasn't Cabaret rumored to need 1mil a week to break even? It's looking pretty grim. There seemed to be some whispers awhile

Don't they only choose shows that have been on Broadway?

EDIT - Just remembered they did Little shop
