Indeed. This person will bridge the gap between Betty and Cole's return sometime in April.

I had lotto seats for this past Wednesday's matinee and they were Orchestra Row C 12-14. Absolutely partial view, more like minimal view honestly. When Oliver's apartment was in the center all I could see was the door. I made it about five minutes before I moved to standing room

Just to temper expectations- The specific name I was given has multiple Emmy nominations, but has not yet actually won the award.

I got word yesterday that an extension into June and the actress taking over the role of Mary for about two months are both being announced at some point next weekend. Unclear if Cole is coming back immediately after those two months but they are definitely coming back at some point.
As far as I can see the upcoming replacement is not someone who has been floated in this thread.

'CATS: The Jellicle Ball' at PAC reviews Aug 27
2024, 06:45:10 PM
To me this production as currently designed and directed would feel a bit claustrophobic in CITS. I'm aware of the ceiling everytime I'm in that theater and this production needs some room to breathe. The stage space in the thrust configuration also seems too narrow.
I'd rather they go for a theater like the Imperial or Winter Garden and have on stage seating and build the runway out into the front of the orchestra if needed (which I believe was mentioned earlier in thi

I decided that I was going to get second balcony seats for this, since it doesn'tseem like a show that will suffer from cheaper seats. Going onto Telecharge, they are saying that a number of the second balcony seats are partial view due to a rail in front of the first row. Is that a real issue? Idon't re

Thanks. :)"
My lotto seats about two weeks ago were Orchestra Row D Seats 11 and 13. As the previous poster indicated these were partial view, but honestly I don't think we missed much. Just whenever someone was going in or out of the front door of the house.

Follies inspired skit on SNL May 20

Maybe it was a mix of both. They literally used the melody of Sondheim’s “Beautiful Girls.”"
I should've been a little more specific. A lot of the blocking was taken from the movie: the quasi conga line, the highlighting of individual boys, and the overhead shot at the end.

What’s going on at Second Stage? May 2

jkcohen626 said: "Fordham2015 said: "jkcohen626 said: "I don't think there's anything to worry about yet. Of the Broadway nonprofits, only Roundabout has announced their full season. Lincoln Center also hasn't announced anything and MTC hasn't announced their Winter show (which usually has similar dates to 2nd Stage's first show of the season)."
MTC's winter show is Eureka Day"
No, Eureka Day is Fall and Old Friends is Spring. For Broadway, MTC usually has a Fall show that runs from September-November, a Winter show that runs from December-February/March, and then a Spring Show that runs March/April-June (or I suppose beyond if there's demand).
It doesn't have a season listed, but MTC's subscription page confirms that they have a third unannounced Broadway show:https://www.manhattantheatreclub.com/subscribe/"
MTC is not doing a fall Broadway show, or at least not one at the Friedman. They're doing some capital projects (HVAC, fire alarm, lighting upgrades) at the Friedman that are going to go into the fall. Eureka Day isn't starting previews until late November.

Rialto Chatter: Will OH, MARY! and JOB Transfer to Broadway? Apr 11
2024, 10:51:38 AM
A friend is a co-producer on the transfer of OH, MARY! and earlier this week I was told that the plan is for a 12 week run starting in June. I had assumed (and didn't ask to confirm) it would go into the Booth, but that timeline doesn't seem to work with THE ROOMMATE getting announced this morning. I'd guess the Lyceum now, but Studio 54 could also be a possibility?

FANtomFollies said: "I am thinking of entering the lottery for Six but had a few questions -
1- How difficult is the lottery to win? I'd be entering for 1 ticket if that makes a difference
2 - Are the lotto seats in a specific location or random?
3 - I'd be going alone and really hate audience participation...are there moments where the audience is asked to stand/clap/dance or anything like that?
4 - Is the show still 'fresh'
