Profile for Kad

I’ve seen Mason and their Royal House of Silk all around the city at various venues big and small and they are absolutely dynamite wherever they perform. Truly otherworldly in their talent. 

There are countless tax breaks and credits for things that are money-losers. Reducing everything to a monetary value reduces the value of everything. 

Altman shouldn’t have been there at all.

Of all the titles named so far, this is the one I am most surprised we have not seen back in NY in a major production.

The date is most likely being announced some time today."

Let’s hope. This is the worst case of cast recording edgelording I’ve felt since WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN"

The Sweeney Todd revival was far worse, imo- trickling out singles for months. 

There could be scheduling issues with the talent. This is also the peak of the spring season with productions starting previews and opening, which will suck a lot of the oxygen out of the room. Doing it in June, after the season has concluded and summer audiences show up, makes sense. 

From what I was told, they had lost an entire week of tech due to issues with loading into the Broadhurst because of the Rob Lake show before it.

Rob Lake closed five months ago- how is this possible? 

Thrilled to hear that! I'm going tomorrow and I am counting down the minutes. 

Although a cast recording or transfer are pipe dreams, at the very least I hope this brings the show the attention and acclaim it's deserved for a quarter century.

She did Angels in America.

Are you arguing it is not ever okay for somebody to refer to genocide in Palestine? 

ScottK said: "To Mr Sinister Teashop...perhaps your review is biased (unintentionally or not) when referring to the "genocide" in Palestine. Since you didnt attribute the use of that language to Ms. Kordia."

It’s his substack to share his personal opinions, not journalism.

Oh no he’s learned how to use ChatGPT

South Pacific, King and I, Oklahoma, even Carousel are all regularly produced. All have had major Broadway revivals in the last two decades, too, and a couple of those shows have had major NY concerts as well. The only thing preventing them from being produced more is the cost of mounting them.

Mame notably does not get produced as frequently. 

For anyone wondering about Ciara Renee’s lawsuit, publicly available court documents indicate she filed for voluntary dismissal about a month or so after initially filing the suit. 

Kara Young is replacing Wiley in this production.

And for those wondering, all precedent says it will be considered a REVIVAL."

I truly can’t believe the MCC production was 9 years ago now. It feels so much more recent. 

But yes- definitely will be considered a revival, especially as this seems to be an entirely new production.
