I give less credence to the authorship and ROFR claims because as reported by Kathy Deitch they, frankly, did not make a lot of sense. And as far as I'm aware, there have been no legal actions taken. As far as I understood it, the authorship claims were more along the lines of "changes were made at my suggestion" and "lines I came up with were made part of the script" which are hard to prove and credit (and are also kind of normal parts of development of a show and tbh I don't think merit any...

$99 is the cheapest ticket as of now, which seems... questionable to me at this juncture. It also doesn't really seem like the bundle deal with Small Mouth Sounds has had a big effect on sales; it also looks like all front center orch and mezz is being held throughout the run. No matter what date I click, the houses are more or less identical.

For a show of this scale? Absolutely not, even off-Broadway.

It's still there and the post says the venue is responsible for sending the production the wrong dimensions, which... is certainly not impossible but strikes me as weird and unlikely.

This seems to have quietly canceled its already delayed first performances, per folks on Reddit. Was initially pushed back to a start of 9/17, now everything has been canceled until 9/22.

Per usual, I don't know most of the reality show or competition gamers in this cast, but thrilled to see Bianca Del Rio there. Hopefully she bucks the trend of Drag Race stars getting sent home early.

The main reason a lot of those more elaborate spectacles stopped appearing on stages was because they were done in ways that were unsafe or at least extremely unsustainable. We could've had the chandelier falling in the 1930s... it just may have eventually actually killed somebody.

Shocking and all the more tragic for happening on the eve of what was looking like to be a major season for him.

I think people are really starting to realize the limits of the limited run star vehicle model. There’s no guarantee for prestige, there’s no guarantee for success, and most of the time the best outcome is to just barely recoup.

What an incredible act of generosity for an incredibly worthy institution!

Bottom line is this - individuals do have freedom of speech in this country - you can say whatever you want, but the people who employ you see you as a representative of their company/show/film and if they believe what you say will have negative consequences for them financially, etc they have the right to discipline or even potentially fire/replace you. Freedom of speech does not equal freedom from cons...

Producers certainly have a right to hire whomever they like for whatever reason they like. But once somebody is employed and on contract, it is wildly inappropriate to attempt to censor them outside of the workplace as an ongoing condition of their employment. And Trimm seems to be implying she was told that a reason would be created to terminate her, which flies in the face of the conditions for termination under Equity's contracts which generally only allow termination for cause.

She is not circumventing any rules. You cannot be forced to join AEA. She will be working on an Equity contract, she will have working dues deducted and benefit trust contributions made on her behalf. She will just not, herself, be a member. Her quitting the union was extremely performative and really only saved her the twice annual membership dues, which is a negligible amount for her.

I much preferred the last key art, featuring both women with shadowed faces. These character portraits are far less dynamic and really lack style.

The fact that Sadie Sink was announced for two upcoming Marvel films should’ve killed the rumor of her involvement.

Two performers were cast from the call, Jack Bateman as Georg and Antonio Porciello as Hanschen. Two out of 11 cast members coming from an open call that saw well over 2k auditioners is pretty darn good, imo.

RUkiddingme said: "There aren't 20 comments calling for 20 shows to close immediately!?!? Is everyone ok?"Well... the shows that have generally been discussed as potential closures in the last few months have basically all announced that they are, in fact, closing in the near future.

I gasped when I saw. Another true genius and icon gone.
