It seems reasonable to think that Giamatti may be an Oscar/awards contender for The Debut, so it makes sense he'd withdraw.

Re: SLAM FRANK to return off-Broadway, Fall 2026

Oct 14, 2026 — 10:25:26 AM

To quote Euphoria, “is this fking play about us?”I think every regular theatergoer has seen a production that assumes the opinions of its audience and preaches to the choir, or puts politics ahead of craft, or simply panders with all the subtlety of a falling anvil. There is a lot of superficial politics and performative bravery in theater thatimmediately crumbles when there’s the slightest criticism. The “art can change the world but only if the audience already agrees with us” mindset certa...

Oh Mary Tour - REVIEW!!

Oct 14, 2026 — 9:51:34 AM

I would have loved to see Natalie Joy Johnson go on as Mary. She is a bit of a niche cabaret icon herself and if you’ve ever seen one of her shows, you’d know what an incredible match of performer and role this could be.

SLAM FRANK to return off-Broadway, Fall 2026

Oct 14, 2026 — 9:37:32 AM

I admired what this was trying to do more than I think it is successful at it. The cast is incredible and I think careers will be launched from this (particularly Austen Horne and especially Olivia Bernabe as Anita, who is the lynchpin to this production), at the very least. And it’s well-staged and designed and the score is often very fun.However, this is inherently a one-joke show for most of its runtime and really could have had a good chunk of its runtime cut, particularly to get to the p...

It's a six week run for a silly holiday diversion. Not everything onstage needs to be high art. We don't always need the Godfather- sometimes you just want to watch Airplane.

If Whitney Leavitt proves to be even half the draw she was while in Chicago, it doesn’t matter who is cast as Darin. I assume that is the calculation the producers are making.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Any renovation that can improve leg room throughout would be a huge win. I recall the sightlines actually being okay from the rear mezz but I haven’t sat up there in a while."I was up there just a month ago for Rocky Horror and it is indeed a very good view for a rear mezz, but part of that is how steep it is.

Re: JUST IN TIME 5.0 - Nicholas Christopher

Again: this a show built on the conceit that we are watching a performer put on the role of Bobby Darin. It is not and never has been about somebody resembling or impersonating the actual Darin. This is like complaining about the casting in Oh Mary.

Re: Royal Shakespeare Company to stage all-male "As You Like It" with Jonathan Groff as Rosalind

Oct 7, 2026 — 12:48:51 PM

Would certainly love to see this come over. As You Like It is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays and it hasn't been as produced as much in NYC in the last couple decades as one would think for one of his top-tier comedies.

Re: JUST IN TIME 5.0 - Nicholas Christopher

This is also not a straightforward bio-musical that requires verisimilitude. It has a meta-theatrical framing device centered on the actor playing Darin.

Re: JUST IN TIME 5.0 - Nicholas Christopher

Oct 7, 2026 — 10:28:21 AM

That is a dramatic over-reaction to the casting of an extremely talented, broadly acclaimed rising Broadway star.

September L Davis - The Apology Tour

Between this persona and Megan Stalter’s daily OH, MARY! stage door bits, I don’t know which was worse. Ana should have retired the character when she killed her off several months ago. It would have been a perfect ending to that once hilarious persona. Less is more, Ana. Better to leave when you’re at the top."Take your own advice.

I wonder how much of a box office draw he is. He strikes me as that sort of celebrity who is recognizable but not necessarily someone with a devoted following, sort of like we saw last season with Adrian Brody.

Re: Roundabout’s FULL MONTY Revival Cancelled/Postponed?

Musicals tend to be tentpole productions for Roundabout seasons and there’s no way they would cancel or postpone an announced production unless there was a something making it unviable.
