City Center’s 2026 Gala Production: IN THE HEIGHTS
 Mar 11 2026, 04:10:15 PM

I kind of think they would want to use this moment to showcase somebody new for Usnavi. 


Cats: The Jellicle Ball to Broadway
 Mar 11 2026, 04:03:53 PM

Rocky Horror is a bit of an open question right now and the thing working against it, from an awards standpoint, is that the material itself is deeply unserious. It is arguably not even a particularly "good" musical in the conventional sense- meaning has been imbued to it over time thanks to its cult following. Although the score is wall-to-wall bangers, the book barely hangs together, particularly in the back half when things just kind of happen without a lot of m

Jellicle Ball also manages to carry even more sociopolitical potency than Ragtime does right now.

I mean… the Skimbleshanks wig alone is award-worthy.


Quiet CHESS Extension?

Let’s not forgot: the Shuberts are seeking to make major renovations to the Imperial, as well.  There was a public hearing about their plans before the Landmark Preservation Board in Dec of 2024 and another is coming up just next week. Not yet approved, but certainly on the mind of the owners. 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/8/26

Leslie Kritzer would be a great fit, as well, but she's not somebody you would cast to expect to be a big draw., 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/8/26

A nice rally for most shows but I would bet on Six being the next long-runner to announce a closure within the coming weeks or few months.

By Liza Minnelli, as told to HAL 9000.

Celebrities and public figures seldom actually write their own memoirs. 


Timothy Chalamet Criticism

That isn’t the “gotcha!” question you apparently think it is. People can defend, value, and respect art forms they are not patrons of. 


What happened at Heathers last night?
 Mar 7 2026, 02:01:37 PM

The profit margins on alcohol at theaters are way too enticing for owners to ever dream of getting rid of them. Theaters are charging $20+ for drinks that cost a few bucks at most, including the cups. 


Timothy Chalamet Criticism

If Chalamet really wanted to make a salient point about declining interest in opera and ballet, he wouldn't have also included mock opera vocals and giddiness over the hotness of his take. People seem to be throwing him intellectual support that frankly wasn't at all there. 


Timothy Chalamet Criticism
 Mar 7 2026, 11:43:30 AM

There’s definitely been a shift in recent years in how Chalamet presents himself publicly. It kind of feels like a rejection of the initial image as a sensitive, prettyboy actor that he had during Call Me By Your Name, Ladybird, etc. I think he’s super talented, but this persona is definitely grating. Considering his peers in SAG did not award him, I have to wonder if it’s wearing thin in the industry as well. 


Alladin, Donica, Pinkins & More Complete ENCORES! THE WILD PARTY Cast
 Mar 6 2026, 11:14:30 AM

Lippa's Wild Party was very popular with theater kids when I was in high school in the mid-00s. It's all this-feels-edgy and big feelings in big belty songs. It focuses tightly on Queenie-Burrs-Black while the other characters are one-song wonders and have little to no bearing on the show. (Most telling: Jackie and Dolores are in both shows, but are little more than ensemble roles in Lippa's with few, if any, lines, while in LaChiusa's both are principal roles and prominent pa

It’s really a gorgeous design. 
 

I’ll be going on the 19th. I haven’t been this excited for an Encores production in a while. The Wild Party is an underrated masterpiece of a score and I sincerely hope that this brings wider recognition of it.

Even by the recent years standards of this board, this is weird.


William Daniels, Tony nominee for 1776, Turns 99 Today! (…and is not dead)
 Mar 4 2026, 10:22:05 PM

May William Daniels live to see another birthday and may some other figures in this world not be so lucky!


OFFICIAL: Lane/Metcalf DEATH OF A SALESMAN to open at Winter Garden, March 2026
 Mar 4 2026, 12:43:48 PM

Several of the first performances are on TDF, fyi!


What happened to ANDREW ANDREW?
 Mar 4 2026, 11:33:53 AM

Genuinely forgot all about them.

It seems like something that is going to be happening and they're going to need to prepare.
