The Death of the Understudy Slip Dec 18

I feel the same about digital programs as I do about digital menus at restaurants- you need to at least provide the physical option for people who, for whatever reason, do not want or cannot use the digital.

I pulled up the original Reddit post in which it was shared by the person who recorded it, and you can see their Reddit posting history. It does seem to date back several months but the person doesnt provide a lot of context for the call.
Although NY is a one-party consent state when it comes to recording phone conversations in most situations, I still think this is pretty icky, particularly when the greatest crime Fox seems to have committed is… being egotistical and having poor judgement?

The Death of the Understudy Slip Dec 17
2025, 09:24:41 PM
Yondr pouches are still not very commonly used on Broadway so I don't really understand why they've become the focus of conversation here.
I understand the elimination of the understudy slips- they're onerous on the house staff and the vast majority of them just end up on the floor and street like jumbo pieces of confetti. But the wastefulness of the slips is counterbalanced by the fact there doesn't really seem to be a truly better solution. I

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/14/25 Dec 16
2025, 03:30:04 PM
Well, if those numbers for All Out hold, it'll be clearing 1.6 mil per 8 show week.
Remarkably, it really doesn't seem like we're going to have a winter bloodbath of closures this season.

I think we as a culture need more nuance than “your feelings are valid.” Sometimes, it is better and more mature to acknowledge one’s emotional response to something can be disproportionate, unfair, or just irrational. It’s true of all of us.

Official: TITANIQUE to dock at the St. James, March 2026 (16 Weeks Only) Dec 16

I wouldn't be surprised if they create a small layout based on around 500 seats and budget accordingly. And if things go better, they could open up more rows. But that's not absolutely necessary.

They would still need to pay rent for the entirety of the theatre. I doubt they’d be g

It would be a musical. The Special Event Tony also no longer exists.

In a very thin year, Titanique is all but guaranteed to rack up Tony nominations, perhaps even disproportionately.
But I think its chance of winning more than a couple (Book, maybe a featured performance) are low, even in such a weak season. At the end of the day, it is a parody with a jukebox score, and I cannot really imagine Tony voters seeing it worthy of top prizes. But if Lost Boys totally whiffs it and Schmigadoon doesn't land well, perhaps Titanique vs. Two Strangers will b

Their whole social media presence has maintained a very delicate satirical line but this is did cross that line very blatantly. I cannot believe they even considered this to be a wise move.
Its worth pointing out that the show was created by a Jew responding to what he perceived as an antisemitic blind spot in modern identity politics, though.

Unless I missed something, there was never even anytime remotely objectionable in that thread. We did, however, lose a number of thoughtful reactions to the production.

Chess and Masquerade Extensions Dec 14
2025, 01:14:15 PM
Masquerade's "extensions" are bit of a marketing gimmick. It's not a limited run- these "extensions" are effectively just new blocks of tickets going on sale. You'll be safe planning for it.
Chess is a different matter- it really is limited as of now and any extension would be dependent on cast availability and if it can sustain its success.

Masquerade will have to run for a very long time to become profitable. It’s certainly selling, but the small audience sizes are a big limiting factor.

There's certainly been some attempts to get one happening- Roundabout workshopped the all-male production that had been done at Williamstown, and Alex Timbers and James Corden had been announced for a production that fell through when Corden got The Late Show.
