I somehow missed that Jefferson Mays was doing this! He’s never less than exceptional and this is a fantastic role for him.

The horse is dead. You can stop beating it. 

To lend some credence to the Jinkx idea: although there are only 4 stops with any kind of timing announced thus far, none of them fall over the November-December window in which she would usually be touring her annual holiday show with Ben Delacreme. 

I'm hearing that some first rehearsals scheduled for today/tomorrow have likewise been pushed back as cast and creatives are unable to get into the city. 

Travel disruptions will be the lingering issue since they have a cascading effect. Otherwise I would expect things to be normal by Tuesday morning. Fortunately, this storm won't be accompanied by weeks of extremely cold temperatures- things go back up well above freezing by Wednesday. 

I've not seen this, but are we sure that the "Republicans" of the title is referring only to the American political party? China is formerly known as the People's Republic of China and "republican" just means somebody who believes in representational government. 

The first few performances are sold well but then it starts to drop off, especially in the mezz.

Considering this starts in just two weeks, there's been a surprising lack of publicity. I know Rudin is weird about stuff like press days and peeks into rehearsal, but they've become standard these days for productions and do help generate interest and keep the production in public consciousness.  

Karma for... trying to ensure more people can see the original cast? 

Fans are going to be upset over anything regardless and are too coddled as it is, so just do the responsible thing and cancel that OM show and they can just cope. 

To be fair, airlines have to be far more proactively responsive to inclement weather (or even the possibility of it).
 

I assume we’ll see cancellation of any evening shows, but I doubt we’ll see many matinee cancellations unless there are transit shutdowns in the afternoon.

This makes zero sense.

Any last lingering shred of respect I had for Eustis was lost when he pushed the Under the Radar Festival out. 

Every Brilliant Thing will likely be considered a revival, considering it is a new production of a widely produced play (and one that had a New York production) that is over a decade old.

Luke Evans will almost certainly be considered a lead. Durand will likely be considered featured.

 

A staged photo with her apparently signing an autograph on a blank page doesn’t exactly fill one with confidence.

Yeah, genius, that's because it's not an actual competitive spelling bee.
