Relentlessly self-promoting co-producer Sean Nyberg made an IG post taking credit for the cast album happening.

Ani DiFranco’s statements were substantially more measured and I wouldn’t really call them explicitly transphobic, per se. She also has a pretty long history of activism.Segers’ videos are explicitly, egregiously sexist and transphobic. Things that would anybody fired from any job that isn’t in the Trump administration,

Re: Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?

Aug 2, 2026 — 4:36:06 PM

At least this happened before hard dates were announced and tickets went on sale, disappointing as it is.Hopefully the production moves forward with another lead. Particularly in the West End, Bailey plus a comparable name would still be a big draw.

Re: Bridget Everett & Patti LuPone: KNOCKOUTS @ Joe’s Pub

DaveyG said: "Thanks for the report! Do you think is aiming for Broadway or is it more of a 5 weeks at the Public kind of thing?"I suppose it could be on Broadway but the kooky, inside baseball vibe definitely feels more Off-Broadway. Seaview was one of the producing partners on it; I could easily picture it at Studio Seaview. Or, yes, one of the Public’s spaces would be great too, especially considering Bridget’s longtime affiliation with them.

I have to imagine that performers like Amber Iman were absolutely none too pleased to learn about Seger's views. I just truly don't understand how he even got to this point. A total failure on the producing / casting side.

I was there last night! Yes, Yondr pouches are indeed used.So this is actually a workshop of a new musical; Scott Witman spoke before and said new material was being integrated into the show that night (which resulted, hilariously, in Patti not having correct sheet music at one point).The show itself is a post apocalyptic road show that is also a loose adaptation of Mother Courage. LuPone and Everett play heightened versions of themselves. The gist is, the world has ended and LuPone- who has ...

A Winter’s Tale is a mixed bag

Aug 1, 2026 — 1:31:16 PM

The Winter's Tale ranks pretty low for me amongst Shakespeare's plays and this rather straight-forward and workmanlike production certainly provided nothing to get me to even consider revising my opinion. The play is a mishmash of Shakespearean tropes, all of them done more effectively in better plays, and Sullivan's very self-serious staging here often works against the production. The audience is always so far ahead of the plot that the characters' overwrought reactions to its contrivances ...

Re: Prince’s PURPLE RAIN opening at the Majestic in April

Jul 30, 2026 — 1:30:41 PM

I really don't know that MJ and Michael Jackson are a great, or even fair, comparison point for Purple Rain and Prince. Jackson is a unique figure who elicits very strong devotion even two decades after his death, it's hard to think of another comparable cultural figure (maybe Elvis, but even that seems to have waned). Prince was a superstar but I wouldn't put him in the same sphere as Jackson, which isn't a slight- Jackson is on a near-deity level for people and I can't think of many others ...

Re: OH, MARY Reviews (2026 New)

Jul 30, 2026 — 12:49:44 PM

I suspect an announcement is very imminent though I would imagine is being timed so as not to step on the tour cast announcement. I've heard from a credible source that it may finally be Bowen Yang's turn to don the bratty curls.

Re: Are these musicals coming to Broadway??

Jul 29, 2026 — 6:24:38 PM

Midnight at the Never Get is a very small show. It would be swallowed up in basically any Broadway house, save maybe for Circle. It is more appropriate for an off-Broadway house, particularly one that can be arranged to feel like a piano bar like Barrow Street Theater.

Wild how BroadwayFlash goes from having top secret inside info from big shot producers on one thread to begging for info on thirty musicals in another.
