Don’t have a photo of the merch but it was pretty great. The “Friends of Dorothy” T shirt is funny and I think people have been posting it on social media.

I'm with Whizzer, I am also surprised at some of the reactions here. Team Prom is working hard tonight! (Joke)


What a fun night in the theatre. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I agree that the show is long and the score needs some work, but after some of the movie to musical adaptations we have had previously this really shines. They really adapted the movie to the stage and it works. And it's the best book of any musical com

it may be around until Jujamcyn exercises its stop clause rights.

Can we please please stop talking about theatre owners excersing their stop clauses? I could count the times this has actually happened on one hand. Mr. Wankel, Mr. Nederlander, and Mr. Roth would not ruin a relationship with a producer by legally kicking out a production. It is usually a mutual decision by both parties with a lot of maneuvering on the part of the theatre owner.

"example of censorship here at BWW"? This is a Broadway message board. The thread was an idiotic attempt to start drama that literally did not exist and was then deleted. 

I'm glad the mods are greater action at policing this board. It has become a dumpster fire of bitchiness in the last two years and has frankly become an industry joke. Even a show coming in next season is going to poke major jokes at this boards expense, ya'll w

@Hogan not really, and comparing something like Comet at Circle in the Square to BOM at the O'Neill is apples and oranges. 

Let's say Comet went to Circle. The show would have been capitalized around 6 million give or take due to the large nature of the show including theater renovations, physical production, bonds, and a healthy reserve due to it's risky nature (I budget Broadway shows with GA's as my job). The large cast/chorus would've made th

I agree with what Hogan and Mr. Matt both say, but I think what everyone forgets is how small Circle in the Square is, leading to a much smaller potential weekly profit. I know multiple productions coming in this year that looked at Circle, but decided not to book the theatre once they realized how small their profit margin would be. As Broadway shows get more and more expensive, Circle looks a much less enticing proposition even with a star. 
 

Heck, The River made

I can also corroborate what Rainah and Trpguyy are true-

The Hamilton leads (including Oak) were allowed to get away with a lot, late to rehearsal etc. Oak came into Comet expecting this, not realizing Rachel runs a tight ship, and as most people know now came into rehearsals completely unprepared.

The producers and creative team expected a Heather Headly/Color Purple situation, where a semi name would come into the show and completely kill, elevating the show to a new

Hogan is right, the nut for this show was in the low 900K range and even then it would take over 1.5 years to recoup at full capacity. The show never really had a hope at succeeding due to the way Kagan financed it.

It has also been confirmed to me by multiple independent sources (directly associated with the show) that what Riedel wrote was right- Oak agreed to leave the show for Mandy and even promised to make media appearances with him as well as agreeing to sign a joint press relea
