ARC does have Hadestown on their site, so I don’t know if they partner with Whitley or something as a talent sourcer or something? Whitley is a fairly small office.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "ARC Casting has announced that it parted ways with casting directorDuncan Stewart effective immediately --- which is strange, since Duncan announced on the same day as the HADESTOWN debacle that he had launched his own casting firm, "Define Casting," and was leaving ARC. Maybe he had intended to stay on in a consulting or transitional role with ARC, but this feels like an unnecessary social media post for the sake of ARC attempting to look good.(I don't know if ...

The show has managed to hit new levels of messiness several times, which is almost impressive. Antin seems to be the direct source of the problems.

I don’t know what their running costs are, but their grosses dipped down below 700k a couple of times when JCM was in it. If that wasn’t below their weekly nut, it was likely close.

You can add to that Strange Loop, Kimberly Akimbo, Dead Outlaw, Great Comet, Maybe Happy Ending, The Band's Visit...

This sounds like the perfect opportunity for P!nk and her daughter!

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,

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.

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 ...

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 ...
