This was easily one of the worst musicals I’ve seen at this professional level. Not even so -bad-it’s-good, just bad. I’m shocked it’s getting an album so many years later. And as far as it being “part rock opera, part impressionist tone poem”- that neither describes the show nor does it actually make any sense as a description for anything.

The real problem is that I don't know many people who have eaten at any of these restaurants in quite a long time. They're convenient for the area and are established, but they're not at all the best or most exciting options. Dining preferences have shifted a lot.

It is very strange there’s been no press release. I guess Rudin is going rogue on this one?

It may be good quality, but you're still contributing to this horrid man who has no business being involved in the theatre scene anymore. You can call me out on this if you wish, but Rudin should have never been allowed to return."What exactly did he do? Bore off. Such woke nonsense.

Why are people talking about this like it's some random, fly-by-night production? Second Stage reliably gets top talent and has had a very solid record of programming at the Hayes.

Ragtime certainly doesn't need you smugly bullying people on here on its behalf.

RippedMan said: "That is doing a disservice to the iconic NYC skyline."Have you seen the NYC skyline lately? The only iconic NYC buildings that are in the top 10 tallest are the Freedom Tower and Empire State. Everything else is now supertall, largely characterless skyscrapers built within the last 2 decades.

I've heard Black Swan is looking at a transfer but likely not this season. Carly Rae Jepsen's 10 Things I Hate About You is also coming in next year with an announcement in the near future, but I've heard it's aiming for early next season.

Rocky is now out of the period where the majority of its audiences were Roundabout subscribers, which created artificial scarcity of tickets and created the appearance of massive demand.

Labor costs tend to be one of the most transparent costs of a production by virtue of the fact they're in collectively bargained contracts that most people in the industry have easy access to. The other costs are not transparent at all, from rents to rights to fabrication costs. Which is why it is wild to me that major reporting doesn't dig into them.The theater owners are more than mere landlords, though. If they were just charging rent, that would be one thing. But they take cuts of box off...

Wicked had the highest weekly gross in Broadway history thanks to the first film. They did help, but now the movies are out of theaters and out of the public imagination.

Oh wow! This will be a must-see. I’m surprised it’s in their off-Broadway space.

It’s all immaterial. It seems this transfer put a lot of stress on the people involved and it has manifested in a lot of hurt feelings and ill will that ultimately won’t mean anything to anyone other than those involved. People need to keep a diary instead of throwing their feelings up onto social media.

The average ticket throughout its run was over $100 (no idea what the median price was, which would be helpful to figure out exactly what people were spending without higher prices distorting it) and the average capacity was over 90%, numbers that, not long ago, would have been a recipe for a fairly successful run. Not necessarily a blockbuster destined for years and years, but a solid run that would have likely recouped or at least come much closer to it. That's the issue and it isn't unique...

So this has very little meaningful difference from Ellen's Stardust and it is also a block away from it? Alright.

Sydney wasn’t.

There were no speeches at curtain call. Sydney Harcourt shared on IG he’d be going to the Eagle post-show; he skipped out on celebrating with the cast, creatives, and crew at their closing party.

The whole "the bullet" stuff pre-dates that interview and seems fan-pushed. It as noticed as early as 2016 but really took off when the pro-shot came out and fans were really digging into it. DeBose was just hopping on the bandwagon because... again, why not?
