Thrilled to hear that! I'm going tomorrow and I am counting down the minutes. 

Although a cast recording or transfer are pipe dreams, at the very least I hope this brings the show the attention and acclaim it's deserved for a quarter century.

She did Angels in America.

Are you arguing it is not ever okay for somebody to refer to genocide in Palestine? 

ScottK said: "To Mr Sinister Teashop...perhaps your review is biased (unintentionally or not) when referring to the "genocide" in Palestine. Since you didnt attribute the use of that language to Ms. Kordia."

It’s his substack to share his personal opinions, not journalism.

Oh no he’s learned how to use ChatGPT

South Pacific, King and I, Oklahoma, even Carousel are all regularly produced. All have had major Broadway revivals in the last two decades, too, and a couple of those shows have had major NY concerts as well. The only thing preventing them from being produced more is the cost of mounting them.

Mame notably does not get produced as frequently. 

For anyone wondering about Ciara Renee’s lawsuit, publicly available court documents indicate she filed for voluntary dismissal about a month or so after initially filing the suit. 

Kara Young is replacing Wiley in this production.

And for those wondering, all precedent says it will be considered a REVIVAL."

I truly can’t believe the MCC production was 9 years ago now. It feels so much more recent. 

But yes- definitely will be considered a revival, especially as this seems to be an entirely new production.

His next project should probably be to take a breather for a bit. 

While I'm sure Jordan and his team had a good chuckle over Chalamet's gaffe, there was already a turning tide against Chalamet, who was never a sure bet in the first place.  

I think the only time the three actors conceit worked was Fun Home, since it chose three exceptionally different portions of Bechdel's life and effectively treated them as separate characters with unique arcs. Otherwise, it's just been: here's the kid, then the young adult, then the adult, as a single chronological continuum.

...yeah, looking forward to the deaths of members you dislike is ****ed up.

I’m not surprised that it closed at a huge loss to be honest. We often spent many months scratching our heads at how they were still running even when they were underperforming at least six figures a week. Even more were the attempts at Star casting that likely cost a fortune, but probably only boosted the box office just enough to cover the additional expense."

HK has an interesting gross history - it does very well in its first year, then comes down a lot after its first holiday season, then goes into an erratic pattern. It never seemed to be able to sustain one stable average gross for very long. I think behind-the-scenes expenses turned it into a total money pit that made recoupment all but impossible.

It is wild to me that Lithgow is 80. I mean, intellectually, yes, I know that's true, but it just doesn't feel true.

Any of the Heated Rivalry fellas for Mary’s Teacher."

If they could get Connor Storrie, it would be the absolute hottest ticket ON EARTH, right now."

Storrie would genuinely be great but the added security they would need...
