Re: Tim Curry has passed away at age 80
Although, given his health struggles, this is perhaps less of a shock than Parton, it is still just such a crushing blow. Both Curry and Parton shared a similar quality of being immensely talented and taking what they did seriously, yet always seeming to just truly relish what they were doing. They loved doing their art, took great joy in it, and that was just palpable.
Re: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD 2021 Previews
I am sure the producers have courted Radcliffe extremely hard for this. Him stepping in would be an unpalatable step backward for a career he has brilliantly cultivated following the films.
Re: Possible OH, MARY casting thoughts
Dratch would really be great. She'd be a great Louise, sure, but it would be really wonderful for her to finally get a lead role like that, which I don't believe she's ever really had in her career.
Bat Boy transfer being teased
ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Could it just be a teaser for the album?Feels unwise to move it to Broadway or even commercial off Broadway. But ATG is producing so they can kind of do what they want."I don't think they would utilize a unique and otherwise unused IG account created in 2022 just for a cast album. Also it's been commented on by Creative Goods and shared by some marketing folks from AKA.
Bat Boy transfer being teased
Just posted on Instagram from an official Bat Boy account in collab with City Center.
HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD
This is quite a casting coup for them, even more than Felton; looks like the production will continue to be raking it in for another year.
Re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/23/26
I remain amazed that Tom Felton is able to move the dial that much for Harry Potter.
DOLLY: A TRUE ORIGINAL MUSICAL begins on Broadway in December 2026
The production will need to walk a fine line in the next few months to avoid looking exploitive while also doing the necessary marketing and capitalizing on the public’s desire to celebrate and remember Parton.
Re: Dolly Parton has passed away at age 80
I hope everyone here who happened to be in NYC last night was able to see the Empire State Building lit up in shimmering pink in her honor.
Re: THE FANTASTICKS at the Hayes -- Casting Speculation
The difference is Evans actually had considerable musical theatre experience. Zane does not. In fact, he… doesn’t seem to have any.

EvanstonDad said: "Did Moulin Rouge have someone special come into the cast for its last days or is it just benefiting from people wanting to see it before it closes?"A mix of people wanting to get in and the return of Tveit, who has consistently been a draw in the production.
Re: Dolly Parton has passed away at age 80
She seemed like somebody who would always be there. She not only brought us some of the greatest, most definitive American music but also sought to genuinely improve the world and did so with such joy and humor. A truly staggering loss, a rare individual whose immense talent was somehow equal to her character and kindness.
Re: THE FANTASTICKS at the Hayes -- Casting Speculation
Matt Rogers said: "Because it was offered to Orville Peck and he passed."Peck has a new album coming out in a few weeks and will be touring. He'd be great casting but it was never in the cards for this.
Re: THE FANTASTICKS at the Hayes -- Casting Speculation
Thrilled to see Kritzer and Miles here but, yeah, Zane is an absolutely out of left field choice.
Re: THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Cast Recording Thread
How is Smaxie being "mad annoying" for saying that it's the opening night cast? Over the course of their 20+ years here, Smaxie has more than established themselves as a knowledgeable poster with industry experience who doesn't baselessly assert things.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Cast Recording Thread
Glad it’s getting an album, though I’m certainly curious why it’s only being done now. But if it means we get Sherie, then…
Re: City Center’s 2026 Gala Production: IN THE HEIGHTS
It’s not like they’re not going to cast it. They have plenty of time to announce.
