The original 1975 Broadway production was not cheap to run. The scene changes on the 2-level set on a turntable took many people to accomplish each performance. There was a bigger crew than on stage cast.

How I wish we had this instead of... you know, whatever is going on at the Ambassador 8 shows a week.

Looks like the side of complacency and moral panic is too. 

BorisTomashevsky said: "The linked YouTube video showed a screenshot where Zegler wrote something like “I hope Trump supporters never knowpeace”, and the voiceover/presenter criticized her for it. I agree with that criticism."

lol k

What do you mean by this?

Rebecca Naomi Jones?!? Oh, what a DREAM. Can't wait to return!

I've probably said this in every thread mentioning Show Boat ever, so apologies, but I am dying for a big, lush LCT revival starring Amber Gray. She is the only choice in my mind for Julie. 

Then why say it in response to my message? You're gaslighting me!!!

Flippantly rude? Gaslighting? I am begging you to show me where either of those things happened from me, babe. Words mean things!

FWIW, I thought Lea’s “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” was electrifying. Honestly? Even out of context, in the middle of a revue, I enjoyed it more than Audra’s rendition.."

It was Rose by ways of Disney princess.

Bell-clear vocals, but no desperation or soul."

Spot on. And true to all her work, in my opinion.

Hear hear!!!

Very excited to see her this weekend.

poisonivy2 said: "9 times in 2 months is approximately once per week. That's not great in such a star-driven vehicle."

And how about 18 times in 205 performances? Y'all are so damn weird lol. If we're going to pull up numbers let's pull them all up.

It's really hard for me to believe that the way she's singing the score is not causing vocal damage."

Flagrant for flagrants sake. Ridiculous.

I wouldn't worry about it closing, I'm planning to chain myself to the theatre so they can't load out.

Congrats! You just completed the first step of the immersive Phantom experience. You'll receive your next clue at the optometrist.

- O.G.

I don't know how this is going to work or how the tracks are being split, but if Anna Zavelson isn't Christine I don't want it!*

*Dramatics, of course. But she would be lovely.

I think the pink only doesn't work because of the red, and vice-versa.

Thank you for your unbiased opinion, phantom1978!

One of the most fun times I've ever had in the theatre - once in Chicago, twice on Broadway, and hopefully one or two more times for my memories. Such a special show.
