Profile for Kad

That isn’t the “gotcha!” question you apparently think it is. People can defend, value, and respect art forms they are not patrons of. 

The profit margins on alcohol at theaters are way too enticing for owners to ever dream of getting rid of them. Theaters are charging $20+ for drinks that cost a few bucks at most, including the cups. 

If Chalamet really wanted to make a salient point about declining interest in opera and ballet, he wouldn't have also included mock opera vocals and giddiness over the hotness of his take. People seem to be throwing him intellectual support that frankly wasn't at all there. 

There’s definitely been a shift in recent years in how Chalamet presents himself publicly. It kind of feels like a rejection of the initial image as a sensitive, prettyboy actor that he had during Call Me By Your Name, Ladybird, etc. I think he’s super talented, but this persona is definitely grating. Considering his peers in SAG did not award him, I have to wonder if it’s wearing thin in the industry as well. 

It’s really a gorgeous design. 
 

I’ll be going on the 19th. I haven’t been this excited for an Encores production in a while. The Wild Party is an underrated masterpiece of a score and I sincerely hope that this brings wider recognition of it. 

Even by the recent years standards of this board, this is weird.

May William Daniels live to see another birthday and may some other figures in this world not be so lucky!

Several of the first performances are on TDF, fyi!

Genuinely forgot all about them. 

It seems like something that is going to be happening and they're going to need to prepare. 

I think Hilty mattered to the DBH box office not as an individual name but as the completing part of that original cast. Without her, now it's just mostly the original cast and Wolfe may never come into her own to replicate the original chemistry. 

Every Brilliant Thing looks set to be profitable rather quickly if those grosses continue. I imagine it'll crack 1 million in the next few weeks.

Book of Mormon has been seeing its lowest grosses since its first weeks of previews lately... not a great sign. 

Nor is DBH's steadily declining grosses since the new year. 

The weirdest example I can think of was Teeth using Lupita Nyong’o’s visit to the show’s opening dressed as Storm as an ad campaign across social media for what felt like months. 

Many people use ChatGPT or image generators or the like in their day-to-day lives for fun, but when they're being asked to spend money on something that has been AI-generated, particularly something creative, the sentiment shifts.

Plus, since the Megan Thee Stallion casting for MR, there is also a bit of teeth gnashing going on right now about casting non-theatrecelebrities into roles that could’ve gone to experienced theatre actors, but instead choosing the cash grab."

Always interesting to see which people and productions get a pass for star casting and which don't.  

We know Erivo can do it. It's a question of whether she is asked and if she even wants to.

Good god get a grip.
