You can loan them one of yours, BroadwayFlash.

You don't even live here, BroadwayFlash.

Yeah, I cannot stay logged in on iOS on any browser. Desktop has been fine. I don’t understand why this remains an issue.

I suspect that "Meadowlark" became perceived as overdone and so singers actively started to avoid doing it. 


Jeremy O Harris’ Yell at the Majestic with Lakeith Stanfield?

I thought Slave Play was fine but not nearly as incisive or clever as it presented itself. I don’t fully understand how Harris parleyed it into being a cultural figure, particularly since his other works have all been lower quality (Black Exhibition was borderline unwatchable). Other early career playwrights with stronger bodies of work seem to languish in relative obscurity for years, but Harris gets to host the Met Gala and gets handed the keys to Williamstown. The industry is wi

…kind of shocked that this was the thread you could find.

It certainly happens if the performance is undeniable and there isn’t strong competition. Julie White won for Little Dog Laughed in 2007, which flopped hard and closed in February of that year.

Considering the lack of announcements, the weird formatting and billing, the lack of producing credits, and the fact that a number of those performers are currently working on other things now or in the near future, my thought is that these are styling for taping of a movie or TV show. 


Magic on Broadway - Doomed?
 Nov 12 2025, 11:06:45 AM

Has Broadway ever really been a comfortable home for full-length magic acts, aside from bonafide celebrity magicians like Penn & Teller?

Definitely an out-of-left-field candidate for CSC’s first ever Broadway transfer.

It technically “opened.” But I think it’s the first time in decades a show has closed before reviews got published. 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/9/25
 Nov 11 2025, 04:11:59 PM

Liberation’s marketing makes it look like a low-budget sex farce and they haven’t done much in the way of social media presence, either (2.8k followers on IG is… not good for a Broadway show). It was always a tough sell on Broadway but they needed better than whatever they got.

Oh Mary’s sustained success is really incredible. It’s managed to maintain its appeal with ticketbuyers while also becoming a show that big names want to jump into, and their low o

Categorically false.

Broadway “opera house”

Wow, I forgot all about that flop Brighton Beach/Broadway Bound! A weird case- it was well-reviewed, well-cast, and a recognizable title, yet closed in about a week after it formally opened. But that was also the 09-10 season, arguably the season most affected by the Great Recession (aka the year of Memphis).

I've now tried on the Chrome and BWW apps- neither of which have I ever used to access BWW before- and I am getting the same issue. I can only successfully log into BWW from my desktop instance of Firefox. 
 

edit: it now suddenly seems to work?

I can no longer log back in on the mobile site on Safari (iOS 18.6.2) at all. When I hit "Login" at any location, it says "Click here to sign out," which does nothing. Returning to the login area just displays the same "click here to sign out" again.

We get it, girl, you have a weird vendetta against Michael Arden for some reason. 


Broadway “opera house”
 Nov 10 2025, 12:01:03 PM

The logistics of doing something like an opera rep make it impossible in a Broadway house. These theaters just don't have the space to accommodate or store the tech elements of multiple huge productions, which means there would need to be a full-scale load out and load in and tech run every time productions switched over. For instance, just this week at the Met, there are four entirely different productions running, including two different productions on the same day. Even a far


Niche/offbeat but high quality Sondheim performances - what are your fav?
 Nov 10 2025, 10:34:54 AM

I honestly don't think much in the way of any kind of recording exists for it considering it was a very small production that ran about a month, but I happened to see the revival of Anyone Can Whistle at the Jermyn Street Studio Theatre while on a college trip to London in 2010 and I loved it. It was staged in a very Brechtian style that suited the material extremely well. The cast wasn't made up of big names, though an at-the-time ascendant Rosalie Craig was Fay!

I think it's telling that Arden is largely spared much of the criticism in the major reviews.
