And yeah I kind of can’t get over how anticlimactic the final confrontation is:

We get two impressive stage effects for two of the minor vampires’ deaths- sparks, smoke, sudden disappearance. And then the two primary antagonists are both dispatched with stakes that looked to be shoved through thei

Yeah, considering credible-seeming news posted here does get picked up and circulated, this was not a wise choice.

I don’t know the direction here is necessarily the main issue, aside from the campy flourishes in act two. If anything, I think the material is largely elevated here because it’s not strong enough on its own. I think he’s shown struggle to develop new work, but the onus there cannot solely be on the director. 
 

I had a thought at some point during the show that Arden would be a great director of music videos, because that’s what this

Schmigadoon is likely not eligible for best score given that it’s pre-existing material that doesn’t seem to have much new added.

It was clearly not an intended effect given the context of the scene.

The thing about vampires is that they’re so entrancing and beguiling that they distract you from the truth. But even they can’t hide their undead nature forever, particularly if you spend time with them. 

And so it is with The Lost Boys. It dazzles with set and immaculate beams of light cutting through so much theatrical haze that it makes the Phantom of the Opera’s subterranean lair seem like somebody merely just lit a cigarette. The performances are a

If you’re out on the street after Proof by 4:15, you’ll definitely have ample time to get down to the venue. 

I actually recommend taking the 7 from Times Square and getting off at Hudson Yards. It’s a much shorter walk from there than it is from the blue line stations at 34th or 23rd.

They also have to accommodate their older subscriber base, many of whom will likely be... put off by any kind of raucous audience behavior. 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/29/26

Does anyone know how subscriber and donor tickets for Roundabout factor into their weekly grosses? Would it be the individual ticket price as part of the subscription or donation package? 


Forbes: Broadway Meets Wall Street As One Show Finances Another
 Mar 31 2026, 02:54:28 PM

With Broadway being a risky bet even in a good year, tying some of your show's fortunes in with other productions seems incredibly unwise and their stated rationale makes little sense. Why don't these people just create a production company if they want to support other shows?

Beaches doesn't seem to be moving its cheapest tickets, which is not a great sign, either. 

Two Strangers doesn't seem to be sustaining much buzz (which isn't surprising- it seems to be a show that a lot of people seem to like but not necessarily love) but I cannot imagine they won't make it to the Tonys, where they have a credible chance of winning in a weird, weak year. Fortunately they're a low-cost show which helps and sets them apart from the other new sho

Their houses are bad in the coming weeks. There is not a single Saturday night in April that looks to be even half sold and there's a couple that are barely sold at all (April 11, yikes). Their matinees seem to be faring bette

Lapine is an interesting pick for this.

The text of Cats has not been changed for this production.

People need to see the show to have opinions on it and judging by their sales, that isn't happening much yet. Glancing at their house for tomorrow... it's maybe 20% sold? Their houses for this weekend aren't better, either.

I would strongly disagree with that sentiment, but think it’s interesting consensus seems to be at opposite ends of the spectrum on the two big Broadway forums lol.

Reddit tends to be far more removed from the industry and NYC generally, to be fair. It’s more fandom-based. 


ENCORES! THE WILD PARTY Review - 1 Minute Critic
 Mar 30 2026, 09:59:18 AM

Unfortunately, Encores cast albums happen rarely. The question is: who would be generous enough pay for it? They're expensive to produce and basically guaranteed to lose money. The instances they do get produced tend to be for shows by artists with strong estates with a vested historical interest in preserving the score.

There are lots of mentally unwell people of any gender.

Kind of wild how Groff gained that following despite having no social media presence and (I believe) never doing the stage door during his run.
