I am afraid that prices will hit a new records. I am expecting to pay $500 for a back mezzanine seat. 

I do not think you can compare both productions.  Evita, a more popular musical, has reached a level of publicity this summer that few productions achieve. Even people who are not into musicals are hearing things.  If or when it comes to Broadway, I am expecting very high prices.  There is a lot of buzz for this production.

On that other board they are talking about February 2026.... I am sure Lea Michele is not thrilled to hear such rumors. 

I agree. It just does not work. Also, as someone has mentioned above, we need to know more about the enabling girlfriend. If someone comes to me with that idea, I'd discourage them. But she gives in without a full-fledged explanation.

This is also a musical that would work better as a tight 90 mn. 

About MHE, I recently watched the Fallon segment and I thought it worked very well. It features the four cast members, including HwaBoon.

I will be there for a long weekend in July and I have booked: "Till the Stars...," "Evita," "Inter Filia," "Giant" and "Sing Street."  Fingers crossed. 

I love this musical (and I am not a fan of Bob Dylan's music). It is a beautiful "score" but a really sad book that I am sure puts people off. 

Mare Winningham's performance is so delicate and beautiful that every time that she starts singing I start crying.  

BTW, it is a beautiful recording of the musical. Thanks.

This is fantastic!  Othello, your turn.

While I think Erivo is wonderful, and after having seen "Dorian Gray" (I admired it more than loved it), I think I will pass unless the prices are reasonable.  I am expecting it to be very expensive.  So, we will see. 

But, it sounds like DG redux.

It is a wonderful article. I love that they discuss the process and the "momma" word.  I think everything should be filmed but this one needs to be filmed by "Great Performances."  This performance needs to be preserved visually.

Holdren's review https://www.vulture.com/article/theater-review-pirates-penzance-musical.html

Negative.

Every so often, some full-fledged Gilbert and Sullivan sparkles through the Ellis and Holmes, and the effect is instantly galvanizing. There it is — the brilliant thing that’s been buried, the real source of life and energy underneath all the plumping, filling, tucking, and squeezing.

I was there tonight, Thursday March 13th.  We had Betty's understudy, and Sydney Jones was wonderful. Great voice and presence. And great chemistry with Tom Francis. She resembles young Norma and Norma, creating an eery effect.  

The production is still perfect for me. I love it. Tonight's audience was incredible, we were all enraptured by the proceedings.  Long curtain call.  

The LGBTQ+ community voted overwhelmingly for Kamala. 

 

LGBT voters shifted even more solidly into the Democratic camp this year, according to the NBC News Exit Poll. Harris led President-elect Trump 86% to 12% among LGBT voters, the poll found. That’s a 15-point change from 2020, when Trump won 27% of the LGBT vote against Biden.

I actually think she'd be an incredible Florence in Chess.

I would skip The Roommate.  It is really not worth it if you only have one more slot.   Stereophonic is very good. 

Ivo van Hove's "shower" scene in "Death of a Salesman." The true definition of a coup de théâtre.
