BLACK SWAN and WONDER world premiere musicals and more set for American Repertory Theatre May 28 2026, 10:04:51 PM
I could see it transferring to an Off-Bway nonprofit first to generate hype.

CHESS Sets June 21 Closing May 28 2026, 12:33:55 PM
Yeah, I would definitely argue that the central plot is basically melodrama (I do not mean this as a pejorative) with some political intrigue for spice.

It's not that those jokes are in bad taste- it's that they're hacky and tonally out of step with the show (a show set forty years ago!). The show manages to ma

Why film, BWW? What's the point?"
They wouldn't have done it without the permission of the production, which clearly would want the press.

Maybe Jessica Vosk can do the tour?? /s"
They can't afford her!

Sweaty Oracle: The Conspiracy to Buy Broadway? May 27 2026, 01:36:31 PM
I really cannot get through this video because of how off-putting and meandering he is (a 12 minute video is an eternity when a black hole of charisma is staring, unblinking, directly into the camera) aside from the links between Blackstone and Trump, is there anything here that isn't just SO doing conspiratorial spitballing?

Dear Evan Hansenwas renowned for its performances and score. The direction wasn’t as fancy.
Great Comethad eye-catching direction by Chavkin and I am still a little miffed it didn’t win for the scoreand orchestrations, butDEHwas probably always winning that. The show had also been around in N

I really don't remember it being anything more than a couple of modestly quick rotations? It's not like they put her in a centrifuge.

In hindsight, I think that despite the success of DEH, Greif was never as strong a contender there as it may have appeared. He got very little acknowledgment anywhere for his work on DEH.

We Need Judith Light Back On Stage May 27 2026, 10:28:46 AM
It looks like she hasn't appeared on stage since she did a production at Pasadena Playhouse in 2017. Considering how often she was doing theater in the early-mid 2010s and how ubiquitous she was at theater events at that time, I wonder if she's pulled back for a reason?

I don’t know that any amount of revisions will make the book work, but the choice to make it a meta commentary on how absurd the show is definitely was a move that undercut the production. How could anyone invest emotionally when it felt like every scene ended with Bryce Pinkham shouting a variation of, “Well THAT just happened in our COLD WAR MUSICAL”?

I don’t think there’s any world in which any production of Chess is going to be a hit without some kind of major A-list celebrity casting. Despite some bangers in the score, it is a convoluted, messy show. It will live on in cast albums and theater fan dreams.

Three Days Of Rain/A Few Good Men/Other Desert Cities revivals May 26 2026, 02:30:43 PM
I wonder if it's an actual Broadway revival and not something off-Broadway at the Lortel or something.

Ed Harris, Allison Janney & Julia Louis Dreyfuss - OTHER DESERT CITIES Revival?? May 26 2026, 10:49:09 AM
It’s surprising we’re seeing ODC before Osage, but I have to imagine the cost of such a large cast is what is probably most holding a revival of Osage back.

Ed Harris, Allison Janney & Julia Louis Dreyfuss - OTHER DESERT CITIES Revival?? May 26 2026, 10:07:39 AM
Just received a press release confirming this, with further casting in Lily Rabe and Joe Keery. Directed by John Benjamin Hickey. Hudson Theater, Sept 29- Jan 17. Amex presale tomorrow.
Julia is Polly and Allison is Silda.

Odds are you are going to silently enrage somebody here no matter what you wear or what you do.

Three Days Of Rain/A Few Good Men/Other Desert Cities revivals May 26 2026, 09:43:35 AM
I wish we would get these stars into new works by rising playwrights rather than in revivals of mid-tier works.

Official: Jamie Lloyd's EVITA to open on Broadway in Spring 2027 May 26 2026, 09:38:25 AM
Grabbed a front side mezz seat for an early Tuesday in March for $89. Seems like a good enough deal for what will surely be a hot ticket.
