I would say house right.

Lin-Manuel Miranda to direct film adaptation of OCTET

I love this score but really cannot imagine it as a film. I’ll be curious to see what they do.

I really did not find this production particularly queer or homoerotic, and I say that as somebody who is very queer. 
 

Sam’s queerness is never made totally explicit and is largely played for laughs (in the “the audience can tell but the characters can’t” way).

 

I wish that there was a bit of a romantic triangle between Michael, David, and Star, but that kind of  dynamic between Michael and David just isn&rsq

It is wild to me that producers will spend so much on "development" only to have shows make few meaningful changes, open on Broadway and flop, then blame the audiences, critics, social media, everyone other than themselves and then also complain about rising production costs.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/29/26

These faux-limited runs are increasingly common- Mincemeat has been doing the same thing, as has Masquerade. "New blocks of tickets" are regularly announced for shows. As quizking101 said, it's artificial scarcity.

Yeah, considering credible-seeming news posted here does get picked up and circulated, this was not a wise choice.

I don’t know the direction here is necessarily the main issue, aside from the campy flourishes in act two. If anything, I think the material is largely elevated here because it’s not strong enough on its own. I think he’s shown struggle to develop new work, but the onus there cannot solely be on the director. 
 

I had a thought at some point during the show that Arden would be a great director of music videos, because that’s what this

Schmigadoon is likely not eligible for best score given that it’s pre-existing material that doesn’t seem to have much new added.

It was clearly not an intended effect given the context of the scene.

The thing about vampires is that they’re so entrancing and beguiling that they distract you from the truth. But even they can’t hide their undead nature forever, particularly if you spend time with them. 

And so it is with The Lost Boys. It dazzles with set and immaculate beams of light cutting through so much theatrical haze that it makes the Phantom of the Opera’s subterranean lair seem like somebody merely just lit a cigarette. The performances are a

If you’re out on the street after Proof by 4:15, you’ll definitely have ample time to get down to the venue. 

I actually recommend taking the 7 from Times Square and getting off at Hudson Yards. It’s a much shorter walk from there than it is from the blue line stations at 34th or 23rd.

They also have to accommodate their older subscriber base, many of whom will likely be... put off by any kind of raucous audience behavior.

Does anyone know how subscriber and donor tickets for Roundabout factor into their weekly grosses? Would it be the individual ticket price as part of the subscription or donation package? 


Forbes: Broadway Meets Wall Street As One Show Finances Another
 Mar 31 2026, 02:54:28 PM

With Broadway being a risky bet even in a good year, tying some of your show's fortunes in with other productions seems incredibly unwise and their stated rationale makes little sense. Why don't these people just create a production company if they want to support other shows?
