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

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

Several of the first performances are on TDF, fyi!

Genuinely forgot all about them. 

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

I think Hilty mattered to the DBH box office not as an individual name but as the completing part of that original cast. Without her, now it's just mostly the original cast and Wolfe may never come into her own to replicate the original chemistry. 

Every Brilliant Thing looks set to be profitable rather quickly if those grosses continue. I imagine it'll crack 1 million in the next few weeks.

Book of Mormon has been seeing its lowest grosses since its first weeks of previews lately... not a great sign. 

Nor is DBH's steadily declining grosses since the new year. 

The weirdest example I can think of was Teeth using Lupita Nyong’o’s visit to the show’s opening dressed as Storm as an ad campaign across social media for what felt like months. 

Many people use ChatGPT or image generators or the like in their day-to-day lives for fun, but when they're being asked to spend money on something that has been AI-generated, particularly something creative, the sentiment shifts.

Plus, since the Megan Thee Stallion casting for MR, there is also a bit of teeth gnashing going on right now about casting non-theatrecelebrities into roles that could’ve gone to experienced theatre actors, but instead choosing the cash grab."

Always interesting to see which people and productions get a pass for star casting and which don't.  

We know Erivo can do it. It's a question of whether she is asked and if she even wants to.

Good god get a grip. 

Yeah the last thing I need to see is Trump from the perspective of the British. 

Beaches doesn’t have a single Friday or Saturday night performance in April and May that looks to be more than 30% full- and that’s including orchestra seats that are clearly being held by the production. In fact, there are quite a number of performances where only a handful of mezzanine tickets seem to have been sold at all. Even an advance of $1.5 million would require thousands of sold tickets. 

I’m surprised that Spotify didn’t already have a system in place in which verified artists had to approve tracks being credited to them.

It’s less than an hour and a half. I saw a 7pm performance and was out on the street by 8:30, and that included waiting on a friend to use the bathroom. 

Radcliffe is also the selling point of this production. If he's out, there will be so many refunds that canceling the performance is the better option, regardless of whether there is a billed understudy. 

Now we can all not see it from the comfort of home.
