This other worldly character could be portrayed by whoever. And “if” it was someone like a Chalamet.,.. so what."

It's an undeniably queer role in arguably the best-known queer musical. 

You should be able to make it with a few mins to spare. If you're worried about the walk, you can just hop on the 1 train at Lincoln Center and hop off at 50th, which would get you from LCT to the Lyceum in 15-20 mins if all is operating normally. 

TodayTix is such a far cry from what it originally was that I really can’t bring myself to feel any kind of way about this. 

I think Frank in this day and age should definitely be played by a queer performer. (I do have some misgivings, however, about casting a trans performer in the role, which, to me, has the potential to really make the piece much more problematic than many already think it is).

Sands was also a producer on Joy this summer.

AEA just announced in IG that a tentative agreement was reached. 

Those are all really great casting choices!

Both unions are in talks with the League this week. I imagine we’ll know either by the end of Friday or early next week.

The film is a very brisk 90 minutes. This should not be 2 hours and 45 minutes. 

They're all performers I like but there's really nobody there that would make me want to buy a ticket- particularly after having sat through All In. I hope the women have less thankless, stereotypical roles this time around, though. 

Arriba Arriba’s website has instructions on how to make reservations.

Once is too many times?

I miss them, too. Bettibar was a perfect place for a pre-or post-show drink and bite. 
 

I recently went to Lady Blue, a few doors down from the old Hourglass, for cocktails and thought it was a great little place with great ambience. 

Okay, BroadwayFlash.

Amy Archer said: "Can you all let Liberation get to opening night andreviews before you dance on its grave? The joy around here in pronouncing it DOA after one week of performances, for a show that should engender our support is really alarming."

Discussing the fact it had a very bad first week at the box office and has a tough road ahead is not the same thing as dancing on its grave or rooting for its failure, and absolutely nobody here has done either. 

Liberation's numbers are a bad start, even taking into account the cheap tickets made available. Hopefully the generally positive word of mouth can help.
