A frivolous and bad faith lawsuit. I hope it is thrown out immediately, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were. As quizking pointed out, the plaintiff would have had the rest of the run to attend. Moreover, PH has no means or intention to enforce the BIPOC-only discount, which would likely have been illegal- it was on a self-identification honor system. Anyone of any background could’ve used the discount. 

"Threat" seems a little overblown. He's just the latest iteration of a type that has been hanging on to the Broadway community for decades, since at least Winchell. But these folks often find out too late that what they do all but ensures nobody will be there for them in the end. 

This is hardly the first flop in recent years that had its creatives and producers publicly blame everything and everyone but themselves for its failure. 
 

Broadway creatives love to position themselves as brave artists, but bravery means acknowledging when you’ve failed. 

It's certainly odd that he's leaving abruptly mid-season, particularly when he's the breakout star from the last several years. I know he was rumored to have been approached for Oh Mary but turned it down- I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he ended up doing it at some point. 

It also has all the charm of a school auditorium.

Rocky is one of their own productions,

I feel the same about digital programs as I do about digital menus at restaurants- you need to at least provide the physical option for people who, for whatever reason, do not want or cannot use the digital. 

I pulled up the original Reddit post in which it was shared by the person who recorded it, and you can see their Reddit posting history. It does seem to date back several months but the person doesnt provide a lot of context for the call. 
 

Although NY is a one-party consent state when it comes to recording phone conversations in most situations, I still think this is pretty icky, particularly when the greatest crime Fox seems to have committed is… being egotistical and having poor judgement? 

Butz is a great casting suggestion for Max.

I would be pleasantly surprised but think it’s unlikely. 

Well, if those numbers for All Out hold, it'll be clearing 1.6 mil per 8 show week. 

Remarkably, it really doesn't seem like we're going to have a winter bloodbath of closures this season. 

I think we as a culture need more nuance than “your feelings are valid.” Sometimes, it is better and more mature to acknowledge one’s emotional response to something can be disproportionate, unfair, or just irrational. It’s true of all of us. 

I don’t typically doubt a limited run making it to its announced ending date, but…

It would be a musical. The Special Event Tony also no longer exists.

Their whole social media presence has maintained a very delicate satirical line but this is did cross that line very blatantly. I cannot believe they even considered this to be a wise move.
 

Its worth pointing out that the show was created by a Jew responding to what he perceived as an antisemitic blind spot in modern identity politics, though.
