Woah! What an incredible life and career. He was one of those figures who seemed like he'd just always be around, even if that is plainly impossible. 

The indicator it's at least a few years between the two acts is that the Lion goes from being a cub to fully-grown in the second act (the movie puts a point on this by introducing the Cowardly Lion as a standalone character early on).

How much time elapses over the action of the second half is far more ambiguous and the movie doesn't offer much clarification there. 

EnsembleXXXX: I have no idea what bee is in your bonnet but I’m not engaging with you on this topic any further. Others here seem perfectly able to get what I’ve been trying to say. 
 

And yeah, I do think shows like Galileo and Pussycat will struggle were they to come in. Hardly an outlier prediction given the unenthusiastic reception they’ve had. 

By what logic? there simply aren’t many shows right now like MHE, BVSC, or Outsiders- all of which demonstrated success and appeal elsewhere- on deck for a transfer in the near future. 

The lack of new musicals on Broadway is one thing, but the lack of obviously Broadway-bound new musicals off-Broadway or regionally is worse. None of the shows kicking around is even an on-paper decent bet, the out of town tryouts are either uninspiring or have faceplanted, there isn’t even a prestige piece waiting in the wings. 

They can certainly reduce seating capacity, but it can’t change the actual size of the stage and house, which is the real impediment to more intimately-sized or smaller scale productions.

All rushing to see who can flop first.

If the venue could also be used for other performances,  I think it’s a fine idea. That area doesn’t have a lot going for it and it seems to be zoned only for commercial use.

Same just happened to me- I’m on Safari on my iPhone. It’s never done this before. 

Have you seen the paperwork?

There’s no way one person could have access to the running costs of every single Broadway production- they’re all effectively separate, siloed businesses. But considering Chess’s scale, 900k seems like a perfectly reasonable estimate. And regardless of what their weekly costs actually are, they’ve clearly been pulling in much more than enough to be profitable week after week.

I felt the same way about that Cabaret re-revival- it always felt like the reheated plate of nachos it was. But Williams has certainly been excellent in other projects both onstage and onscreen.

I assume you mean Wonderful Town (I know Encores did On the Town over 10 years ago but I remember it being well received.)

"

Encores did On the Town closer to 20 years ago, in 2008. The last Broadway revival was in 2014. 

If the L5Y thing were happening longer into a run, it likely wouldn't be a problem- Zegler would take the two weeks off. But the scheduling for this would require her absence during rehearsals, tech, or early in performance, which is much harder to manage. Zegler missing half of previews, for instance, would kill sales from the jump and then require additional rehearsal time to get her back into it. 

Interesting that this production may leave Chenoweth a diminished star but make Scott a greater one. 

Dorothy’s house was the real hero of the movie. 

Hey mods: if someone can circumvent a ban within hours by merely creating a new account with a new email- and they can freely do this dozens of times over the span of months- then you do realize this totally undermines the punitive nature of banning and even the idea of having any kind of rules here at all, right?  
 

Stop fiddling with nice but meaningless quality of life fixes and actually do something for the security of this board.
