Hi All - 

A quick Friday update for our users! Today we're rolling out Dark Mode (Beta) for the board. You can turn that in by adjusting in your settings. If you have any feedback, please let us know.

Hi All - chiming in to say we passed this note along to our development team yesterday and a new App update will be available as soon as Apple approves the new version in the App store. Apologies, and thanks for your patience!

Hi NakedMaid, just heard from our developers that this has been fixed. It was an issue with a limit on the number of shows in the search results. Thanks so much for catching and flagging.

BroadwayWorld is pleased to announce its latest new innovation -  My Shows, an interactive feature designed to help you track and share your theatre experiences.

With My Shows, you can log each production you attend, rate shows, and write reviews that display both on your personal profile and the show’s page. You can organize your Broadway, West End, Touring, and regional experiences while tracking your total number of performances attended. My Shows is powered by BroadwayWorld's unparalleled database of theatrical productions worldwide, going back decades.

Key features of My Shows include:

• Personalized Show Tracking – Log every production you attend across Broadway, the West End, and Touring.

• Ratings and Reviews – Share your star ratings and reviews with the BroadwayWorld community.

• Friends and Community – Connect with friends to see what shows they are attending and reviewing.

• Theatre Profiles – Keep track of the venues where you’ve seen productions.

• Statistics and Milestones – Discover how many shows you’ve seen, how many unique productions you’ve attended, and where you’ve traveled to see theatre.

You can create your My Shows profile now by logging into BroadwayWorld. The My Shows experience is also available in our Apps on the Apple Store and Google Play Store today.

Hi Everyone.

We just wanted to chime in and address this before locking the thread as a number of posts here have had to be removed for violating our terms of service.

Per our rules (found here) "discussions of off-stage events, rumors or hearsay are not permitted, and would fall under our personal attacks rule. To further clarify, allegations of alleged crimes are not permitted." Our guidelines go further in depth as to why this rule exists, but primarily it is to protect both the website and our users from liability.

The Message Board is not the best venue for accusations of misconduct. We encourage victims to contact the appropriate authorities, union when under a covered contract, and get support from more appropriate places.

If anyone would like to be put in contact with a journalist who handles these types of complicated and sensitive claims, please reach out and we'd be happy to make an introduction.

Best,

Team BWW

That shouldn't be happening - our techs have paused the feature for now! 

Apologies, we did reach out to that user directly, but the correct url is in fact: https://www.broadwayworld.com/premiumiconnew.cfm

We've also upped the resolution of the profile photos today.

In other exciting news - we're launching a Beta news-feed view of latest posts. You can now endlessly scroll through all the latest posts on BroadwayWorld here: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/latest-posts.php

We thank all of you for flagging the grosses issue - apologies for not posting a response sooner, our database team was troubleshooting the glitch which has been resolved! A thread for this week's grosses was posted.

While we've allowed the conversation here given recent events and it being relevant to the community, we ask that those wishing to continue the conversation and discuss the broader implications of the election or politics to do so on the off-topic post.

Flagged to our tech team who says the image issue should be fixed.

Thanks!
