Profile for Kad

I've been at a few events he and his husband have been at for shows he has touted as "theirs" and it is pretty obvious that they are not as important or taken as seriously as they make themselves appear. It's great when people want to invest capital into productions; the industry needs enthusiastic and supportive investors. But the scale at which Nyberg has been doing it in the last year and the amount of self-promotion he has been doing alongside it is very strange. And making many sponsored...

A press release just went out announcing the Blue Man Group will be doing a show here from 11/12-1/3

Really don't feel like watching 3 minutes of him ramble, but BWW pulled these quotes:"The Daryl Roth Theatre is a historic venue. It is beautiful and gorgeous, but it is a bank that has been transformed into a really creative space and what we are doing with this show is unprecedented for this theater. It’s a massive set. There are 140 costumes, and we are doing things that they’ve never done there before. And so in order for it to be safe for everyone, not just for the performers and the cre...

The only roles for her in this production of Rocky would be Magenta or the Narrator and she's not really right for either.

Industrials were also not generally made available to the public, so it's kind of hard to keep track of how many there were and when they were done.

At this point, I'm pretty sure Sean Nyberg would invest in a kid's lemonade stand just to brag about it on social media.

Reactions in the UK were generally very positive, too. But the total lack of recognizable names involved in this- not just in the cast, but across the board in creatives, producing, etc- is likely indicative of Hall’s reputation in the industry. He’s damaged goods here and doesn’t seem to have overcome that at all.

Losing two weeks from an initial 8 week run is a potentially fatal issue for the show’s prospects, whatever the cause. Edit: miscounted the weeks… an initial 7 week run, even worse.

I really hope she's able to step into the role on Broadway at some point.

I give less credence to the authorship and ROFR claims because as reported by Kathy Deitch they, frankly, did not make a lot of sense. And as far as I'm aware, there have been no legal actions taken. As far as I understood it, the authorship claims were more along the lines of "changes were made at my suggestion" and "lines I came up with were made part of the script" which are hard to prove and credit (and are also kind of normal parts of development of a show and tbh I don't think merit any...

$99 is the cheapest ticket as of now, which seems... questionable to me at this juncture. It also doesn't really seem like the bundle deal with Small Mouth Sounds has had a big effect on sales; it also looks like all front center orch and mezz is being held throughout the run. No matter what date I click, the houses are more or less identical.

For a show of this scale? Absolutely not, even off-Broadway.

It's still there and the post says the venue is responsible for sending the production the wrong dimensions, which... is certainly not impossible but strikes me as weird and unlikely.

This seems to have quietly canceled its already delayed first performances, per folks on Reddit. Was initially pushed back to a start of 9/17, now everything has been canceled until 9/22.

Per usual, I don't know most of the reality show or competition gamers in this cast, but thrilled to see Bianca Del Rio there. Hopefully she bucks the trend of Drag Race stars getting sent home early.

Obviously they can’t be made for a wide release or anything, but how would digitizing cause rights issues if kept within the archive and barriers currently in place?"Per the NYTimes article: "The library’s popular Theater on Film and Tape Archive will not be included in the digitization effort, [Roberta Pereira, the research library’s executive...

The main reason a lot of those more elaborate spectacles stopped appearing on stages was because they were done in ways that were unsafe or at least extremely unsustainable. We could've had the chandelier falling in the 1930s... it just may have eventually actually killed somebody.

Shocking and all the more tragic for happening on the eve of what was looking like to be a major season for him.
