(Video below.) And for the record, Oscar voting ended last Tuesday, so his appearance or possible no-show at the SAGs will have no bearing on whether he wins an Academy Award this Sunday. Like the members of BAFTA, the Oscar voters will vote ostensibly based on Culkin&#3

This is the out of state college student that Ken Davenport now employs... Take it with a grain of salt."

help me understand the math here. Gatsby as an example.

The Great Gatsby - $1.3 million gross, 92% capacity, $120 atp (Up ~$293k from last week)

Gross Less-Fees: $1.165 million; Estimated Weekly Operating Cost: $850k/week; Estimated Profit (Loss): $164k

Estimated profit of $164K is not what the math

I don't believe the first preview is any indication at how well a show is selling.  that said I did spot check on telecharge and seems about 75% full for the first two weeks of previews. Looking a bit head to May/June  it's selling okay but again still in that 50-60% sold so far. I hardly call this a huge hit.

My opinion still stands. It's a topic/musician that people don't know and it's a pretty sad story to tell.

As with all (ok most) shows I wish

I sincerely hope K. Culkin's sick loved one is okay. but this guy sure seems like a DIVA.

He missed the big awards (critics choice, WGA) in LA last weekend due to rehearsals for GGR. ok fine. Committed but he has a real chance for an Oscar and his Director/Screenwriter Eisenberg would have loved his support. That stage looked empty without anyone else there.

Now he misses BAFTA because of a sick family member. I'm sorry sweetie, but the show must go on. Get on the pl

a few comments/suggestions. I'm not sure how often you visit NYC but a few things to consider.

1) Death Becomes Her. The OG stars (Hilty, Simard) will likely only be in the show through Fall 2025. They might extend beyond that, but not guaranteed. and they both could easily leave after Tonys if something "better" comes along. that said both have had mixed successes so a solid paycheck in a long-running show is hard to say goodbye to.

2) Oh Mary I would absolutely s

"in re: Brody.  it is very tough. 8 shows a week for $25K plus 1% of grosses. and a bonus once the show recoups.
plus he is recovering from "exhaustion" such a hard knock life. "

but i hear he

I am! Full report later but the rush is stingy as hell. In-person is as bad as the TT, and you can only get orch as “upgraded rush” for $79. I love JTL so I splurged.

I’ll post a full report later, but show started at 2:01 and then multiple HUGE groups started s

Jordan Catalano said: "I will always advise people to never ever ever sit in the rear orchestra (or even do standing room) at the Lunt. The entire show all you hear is the staff running around talking LOUDLY to each other, like there isn't a show going on. It's been like that ever since I can remember and I'll never understand."

Boy at that the truth. I recall standing room at the Lunt for Sweeney Todd with Groban and I literally shushed the ushers more t

updated rush report for those interested.  I arrived at about 8:20 this morning and was #1 in line.  #2 person arrived closer to 9am. by 10am there were only 5 people queued up. I tried todaytix at 9am and was told rush tix were all taken. TT probably has very few rush seats.  TodayTix rush/lottery is such a gimmick.

The friendly box office lady said clearly "rush seats are in the second row of the ORCH." I said that's great i'll take 2.  Got cente

I caught this last weekend and mostly enjoyed it. I appreciated the sharp humor, but boy everyone in that group was pretty selfish. I guess that is the intention. Grieving people are allowed some level of selfishness when going through a tough time. 

Sad to hear that you liked Ana Cruz Kayne--she was out the night I saw it. But Dominque (sp) was the understudy and I thought she was great. I guess she already knew the script =).

Ahh. I'm hoping to get back to the show later this week so will pay special attention to the language. Will be a very different viewing experience watching the play now knowing the ending. Hopefully I can get my hands on a copy of the play itself.

Also to choosing the therapist. there are all kinds of HIPAA and ethical rules that prevent corporations from deciding which doctors an employee can see. Even if is a follow up to a work-related incident.  Even basic questions around

not sure how to do the spoiler alert but wanted to add my thoughts. I'll try to keep this vague-ish. I've only see this once @ connelly theater, but my interpretation was that SHE chose him as her therapist. or perhaps she discovered what he is accused of doing after he was assigned to her. either way I believe she went into the therapy session with full knowledge of it all and was trying to suss him out.


That said I did find the ending to be a radical left turn but it su
