Butz is a great casting suggestion for Max.

I would be pleasantly surprised but think it’s unlikely. 

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. 

I don’t typically doubt a limited run making it to its announced ending date, but…

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

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. 

Props to Jeannette for handling that well. 

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. 

I’m not a super emotional audience member but I do admit that Jasmine got me, both during the “I Love You Song” and her epilogue. The simple way she says that she grew into an attentive parent is just so beautifully sweet and knowing. Olive has always been the heart of Spelling Bee and Jasmine just delivers pure heart. 

Well, Ali posted an IG story just yesterday saying "Can't wait to be back in the room with @thelostboysmusical and @therescues so I can hear this song every day again. We've been cooking up some very exciting things the last couple weeks..."

Doesn't sound like somebody who is on his way out of the production.

If you have opportunity to catch this before it shutters next week (??!!), I can’t recommend it enough."

And yet if this didn't come in John Proctor would still be running and be on their 3rd or 4th Shelby replacement by now. Thanks, Scott!"

Well it did. It closed. Get over it. This was a better show than JOHN PROCTOR could’ve ever aspired to be."

The difference is, of course, people actually showed up to see John Proctor. It played at or near capacity for its entire run and had good to decent grosses the entire time.

 

I don't have any qualms about a show like this being on Broadway. However, the issue with All In was that Simon Rich's writing was simply not very good and also clearly never really intended to be performed in this way.
