Jesse Green NYT's Critic's Pick review of Jun 18
2025, 08:18:43 PM
Are people here just talking past each other? Young kids don't tend to have suicidal thoughts because they are taunted, bullied or yes, accused, of being straight. But they have historically, and some still do, do if called gay. Unless I am mistaken there is no Trevor Project for straight kids. Parents don't kick their kids out of the house for being straight.

I corrected my earlier post where under the influence of severe jet lag I referred to Passion as Fosca.

It is interesting to contemplate what different choices might have led this show to a better trajectory.

I saw the original Broadway production of Passion when audience members were laughing throughout. It was the Classic Stage production when the magic of the show really clicked for me. I think the intimacy of the story and songs work best in a more intimate theatre space.

Clearly I do not. Get back to me when you see me making dozens of juvenile posts and replies focused on one specific show. That's what I meant since I was being compared to Mr. Showbiz and that is what he does. I never

Erivo, however, is doing Dracula in London and Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, so it is not hard to imagine she'll be back on Broadway at some point.

After the Tony’s… Broadway show closing death watch Jun 10

Yeah, ATG really jacked up Sunset, but it does seem their dynamic pricing drops back into more reasonable range 24-48 hours of the show if availability is still pretty high.

John Krasinski Off-Broadway in “Angry Alan” Jun 10

Fairly decent availability for many dates still this month if people have not snagged a ticket. I checked a handful of dates when buying mine just now and almost always found a fair number of the $149 seats along with a smaller number of the $249 premiums. Some dates had a very limited number of seats at $99 or $87 with a rare $69 popping up even.

Favorite Old Tonys to Watch Jun 10

jakethesnake said: "For me, it’s less about watching old ceremonies and more about watching old numbers. Sometimes I just go down the rabbit hole on YouTube. Whenever I need a pick me up, there’s always the numbers from Grand Hotel, Will Rogers, The Life, among others. They bring me joy."
Same.
I know not everyone here cares for Neil Patrick Harris, but watching these two numbers from the 2013 telecast always makes me smile.
"Bigger" Opening Number
"Neil and Friends" (Andrew Rannels, Megan Hilty, Laura Benanti)

I don't think I've ever felt so insulted before. I have my emotional moments on here like anyone, but I generally take great care to thoughtfully contribute to conversations and do so across multiple threads, neither of which are qualities

UnwoundFantasies said: "Anyone know where to watch the Act One preshow? Or at least where to find Celia’s speech? It doesn’t seem to be available on Pluto anymore, or paramount plus."
I find that sometimes a full day or two needs to pass before the recorded show appears and am hoping that is the case here with Pluto.
