Here is a gift article from the NYTimes about the developmentBasically, the Trump crony-packed board is drafting a resolution ahead of a meeting on Tuesday to say that the Center is at risk of insolvency but that Trump has offered financial support to the institution... but will not do so unless he is honored in an inscription on the building. Effectively, they are attempting to hold i

Having not seen Lewis, I can't really comment on what the dynamic between her and Amber was like, but Sherie and Amber have fantastic chemistry and I often found myself watching them getting up to all sorts of weird, funny business together. They definitely were a pair in cahoots, totally in sync and feeding off each other. It's really delightful to watch.

The production did cast performers from that open call; at least two, from what I have heard. Nobody is “scorned.” They saw, what, over 1000 kids? They can’t give them all tickets or cast even 1% of them.

Unfortunately, those remakes have generally proven incredibly lucrative even if they fade immediately from cultural memory.

I mean, reception to all versions of the show hasn’t been particularly great, so it makes sense Disney would skip a potentially risky major investment on Broadway and go right to the safer bet of regional licensing. The show could be a total mess and it’ll still be produced across the country at every level.

I was there last night for Shears’ debut. It was also my first time seeing this production.Overall, I had a very fun time; the audience was super into it, lots of callbacks and lots of dressing up. The production itself is a surprisingly mixed bag. When things work, they really work, but when they don’t, the production just sort of sits there, awkwardly staged and inert. The whole production feels conceived for a much smaller house and it would probably work like gangbusters in a 200-seat dow...

While I’m not sure where “the Broadway pro-shot I’d like to watch is on a major streaming service I don’t want to subscribe to” ranks on the list of first-world problems, I am certain it’s on there.

I’m looking forward to gathering with friends, drinking some paint thinner, and having everyone shout, “the South of WHAT!?” in unison.

If Rudin really wants to prove he’s changed, he should livestream his reaction to this bungled sale.

There still seem to be issues with new pages on threads requiring a "bump" post to get them accessible and viewable. (example right now is the Lost Boys thread, with the 251st post and 11th page not accessible and only viewable when replying).

The price alone is obscene but the service fee on top of it is even worse, seeing as how ATG owns the ticketing platform and the venue.

Lion King sends out mailers and puts out regular advertising campaigns. As does Chicago. This is what established brands do.

Interesting that Wicked is the only production not to see at least a five-figure box office boost.

I would assume- or I guess, more accurately, hope- that what it means is that the tickets that are part of the $250 presale are the ones that will be more expensive on general sale. But the thing is, I don't think this is really a deal if one really only cares about seeing Small Mouth Sounds. These are functionally at least $400 tickets once you factor in the mandatory Downstate ticket purchase. If you're unwilling or unable to see Downstate, you're not getting a deal, really.

Kind of funny that a year ago he was making thinly-veiled jabs at Seaview in the NYTimes for leaning on celebrity casting.

I could see it being determined to be new.

schubox said: "This play has almost no dialogue right? Wonder if people who pay top dollar for these actors are gonna get pissed"From what I recall, the "everyone is silent!" thing is kind of a gimmick that the play undercuts at every opportunity with a lot of nonverbal communication like mouthed words and wild gesturing.

I have no business spending $400 this week (or $800 for two) but I have a scary feeling it's going to be impossible to get anything for that price when they go on sale for the general public."My exact thoughts. Especially since I’m certain Downstate will pop up on TDF. It will be a hard sell and Rudin knows this."Downstate is going to have a very hard time considering its subject matter and a cast that has very little na...

CoffeeBreak said: "Will this be a considered a revival ?"Yes, the play is over a decade old, toured, and has been available for licensing for years.

The wording on the press release suggests that presale tickets for Downstate are indeed starting at $150: "At 12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 10, tickets to this fall’s Downstate will go on sale, starting at $150 each, at DownstateOnBroadway.com. Audience members who purchase tickets to performances through November 22 of Downstate will immediately receive an exclusive, single-use presale code granting access to purchase select Orchestra and Front Mezzanin
