I think it could stay open through the holidays, but if they don't get some stunt casting to guarantee high ticket sales, it could be gone by January

Rocky Horror Show Revival Cast Oct 26
2025, 05:57:55 PM
I'm a little anxious about the potential audience participation here. Wouldn't that just be for the midnight showings, not an actual stage production? Or should I fully avoid this if that's a concern for me?

Nah. It was great off-Broadway and it's unlikely they'd get any of the same cast, so no, thanks. Leave it be.

2026-2027 Season Tour Launches Oct 24
2025, 04:27:31 PM
tacotheatrelover said: "I wonder if some kind of cabaret tour will launch in the wake of the closing. If they'll do some necromancy and pull the Sam Mendes production out of the grave and attempt to get more of their money back with a cheap attempt of a touring production of a 30 year old production of a show. If not that's fine, I do wonder about the revivals of shows that'll launch tours in the coming year, like the non eq music man revival and whatnot."

Close quarters, coming into cold/flu season, scheduled absences, taking personal days, vacations, vocal rest. If you work do you always ask your coworkers why they're out?

Does Baldwin need the paycheck? Seriously questionable decision for her to be the 34th Roxie in this show. Newell is fantastic, but again, does Alex need the paycheck? Odd choices for two Tony-level actors to jump into a ne

'Romy & Michele' - Off-Bway Previews Oct 16
2025, 05:17:59 PM
NOWaWarning said: "ColorTheHours048 said: "Why in the world would they do that? This isn’t The Great Gatsby, The Wild Party, or Phantom. Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion isn’t some rich text to draw musical inspiration from. It’s a feather light 90s comedy, and it works best in its original form because it cuts to the chase. Once this production closes, it will be the only adaptation of this movie and that’s just fine."

It's not a commercial Broadwayshow. It's super niche with no bigcelebs. It will struggle to compete alongside the starry names and nostalgic titles this Fall."
Will it really be that big of a deal since it's such a

Locked up phones will prevent Liberation from getting any kind of free marketing and WOM on social media. Understandable why they are doing that but if nobody can post their playbill on Instagram, many people won't even be aware this play exists.

Jon M. Chu will direct a movie-musical adaptation of JOSEPH...DREAMCOAT for Amazon Oct 14

BwayLB said: "^ In my personal defense, the Donny Osmond proshot was good. But doesn’t do the full seeing the show live and in person experience justice. Maybe the new movie will be a slight bit enjoyable in spite of all that. But they need real sone genuine vocalists for the cast."
I don't care who he casts- there's no reason to do this movie.

While I also have faith, I wish he'd leave this alone. Donny Osmond was perfect.

No. Nothing I wrote implies that or says it explicitly. I said the first preview gift is a marketing opportunity for the show, which is its primary justification. Quizking101 (who is far less

quizking101 said: "Going to the C point, I actually think the first preview gift can be both a marketing tool AND a thank you because, more often than not, the audience is coming to see a production on its first run out with a public audience - and with prices as they are, it’s actually kind of nice.
Also, often times the gifts are subsidized by partnerships to offset the cost. OPERATION MINCEMEAT’s first preview tote bag was sponsored by Audience Rewards.

Correct. No one will be eligible. Which is fine because I don't want the stans whining about how robbed people would be if they lost to someone from a different production
