But that was 15 years ago. Adjusted for inflation, $700k in 2011 is comparable to well over $1mil today. 

I’ve seen a number of folks involved posting similar things. While, again, I think the piling on is unnecessary, I do think it generally speaks to how this team and this piece direly misread the mood and have never adequately addressed things. 

Kind of surprised at the lack of publicity this got. There haven’t even been photos or videos shared to the theatre news sites.

It should be automatically refunded for you, no action needed on your end. It may take some time, though.

Only going by what she said to me verbatim several months ago when I asked her directly while we were both waiting for our tables at Gallagher’s on W. 52nd Street shortly after she ended her LITTLE SHOP run in February 2025."

And this was before she told the host, “please make sure my table is not near his,” I assume?

He may be deep pocketed but that’s, like, minimum 20 million dollars to keep a show running until early May, on top of initial investment. It would never have been made back, even if it had run to the Tonys and even won some.

I think the labeling of Chenoweth as MAGA was and is entirely unfair- and decidedly untrue- but the way she handled the situation was so bafflingly tone deaf and unhelpful that it just made the situation worse. 

I would imagine that this decision was less about how it’s been grossing thus far and more about the fact it didn’t have much of a viable path forward in the new year. The houses for Jan and Feb are basically entirely unsold and the negative word of mouth meant it had a very difficult path ahead- its grade on ShowScore is just 61, which is very bad for a site that tends to skew extremely positive. 

The clips from the 1930s are of incredible quality! 

A cursory bit of research suggests that Squibb is now the oldest performer to ever appear on Broadway- and it seems like she’s just as wonderful as ever. 

It actually seems a number of threads have vanished- the Kyoto one, but also the Sweet Smell of Success concert thread, the thread about David Corenswet in Carousel, and a few others. 

I’m sure at least one of the new songs will be nominated- even lesser songs have gotten in, and they’ll want at least one of these women to perform- but it seems unlikely anything will stop the massive hit “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters from taking the win.

no, she was Morrible in this. 

My sources tell me it’ll happen right around the same time Glenn Close’s Sunset Blvd movie comes out. 

Kind of a pretty thin piece, to be honest. Considering the topic- and the fact that it’s centered on two controversies that have mostly blown over- I was expecting something more than rehashing.

I know they haven’t done R&J in almost two decades but yeah I agree… let’s be a little more adventurous here.
