New ones, as in the last two weeks? 


Roundabout To Revive ROCKY HORROR
 Mar 6 2025, 03:34:58 PM

The online discussions re: casting Frank are going to be... a lot. Possibly enough to prevent this from seeing the light of day unless they figure out a way to please everyone, but I'm hoping to be wrong.

JFC, WE GET IT 🤦🏻‍♂️

This needed its own new thread? 🤦🏻‍♂️


Who's still out there from 2003?

2007 for me, tho I recall being a lurker for a while before joining. 


BROADWAY DISCOUNTS

Guessing not for Outsiders; it’s selling well over capacity week in and week out. 😬

Adam Pascal was indeed fabulous in the 2008 London concert version of Chess and if he was 10 years younger I would say sign him up now but at 54 he's aged out of the role. '

Now get out of my way. I've got a man waiting for me.


TEETH Previews - New World Stages
 Dec 5 2024, 03:55:16 PM

The poncho was absolutely stifling. Being wrapped in plastic sheeting in an overly-warm theater sucked. I knew the seats I chose and def should have chosen differently, but that's on me. Held poncho over myself for the majority of the show just to not asphyxiate (super exaggerating, but...) only to get sprayed pretty well. Not sure how they clean costumes etc. afterwords as it still hasn't come out of my shirt. (jeans are ok, but shirt is pretty ruined... just a basic cotton dress button-down with no high-maintenance fabrics.) Oh well. Was over-the-top off-B'way fun aside from that.


FLOYD COLLINS to be given Broadway revival by Lincoln Center

Any LCT member able to check the Apr schedule for me? Specifically if there's a Sunday 4/20 evening performance. (LCT only occasionally has Sun eve performances, but... 🤞)

It's been on Paramount+ for a couple of years too.

Menken Fan said: "Be warned if being in a "splash zone" is not your idea of entertainment. I saw the show's previous run and bought tickets to this run months ago, and there was no warning at the time of purchase about my front row seats being in the splash zone. I'm guessing that was added subsequently. I asked the box office if I could change my seats, since having fluids launched at me didn't seem like my kind of fun. They told me no - I had to keep the seats


Telecharge, StubHub, and, Oh, Mary, The Ripoff
 Nov 14 2024, 04:38:03 PM

I guess Im a curmudgeon. $355 for an 80-minute show? Bah humbug.

Not buying a pricey ticket to a show you have issues with is about the easiest, cheapest and least energy-expending thing one can do. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 


Two Days, Five Slots, Six Shows. Which one goes?
 Nov 13 2024, 11:53:22 AM

Don't nix Maybe Happy Ending. It's wonderful, and the best reviewed show in years. But sadly/likely won't be around long. See it while you can. 


MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Reviews
 Nov 12 2024, 03:16:46 PM

I can't recall such a lopsided ratio of just about 100% positive reviews to empty seats in years... Makes me sad as I was completely charmed by it and wish it a better financial fate. Also hoping for a cast recording here. 


Patti LuPone called a privileged, racially microaggressive bully by Hell's Kitchen cast member
 Nov 4 2024, 03:27:05 PM

Racism and racially-tinged micro-aggressions come in many different forms. Obviously. Requests regarding sound-bleed seem to be a stretch tho. As someone else said, I'd imagine LuPone (who I love but also find exhausting) would have said the same had the extremely LOUD and extremely "white-boy"-centered "American Idiot" been next door to her quiet two-hander. 🤷🏻‍♂️


Possible to see Maybe Happy Ending and Oh Mary on Sunday? And Tammy Faye
 Nov 3 2024, 10:48:49 AM

MHE ended at 4:50. Tho they're supposedly still tightening it, and that was a week ago... We did what I HATE to do -- ran out as the curtain call started. Felt like a huge a-hole, but we had aisle seats and were able to without disturbing anyone. Made it to Oh Mary with over 5 min to spare so we had time for the restroom and to get to our seats in plenty of time.

I did it last weekendI did it last weekend. You should cut through the Millennium hotel next to the Hudson to get over to 45th. That shaved some time off.


DEATH BECOMES HER Previews

Re: the spoiler mentioned by quizking101, it seemed to be intentional and -- IMHO -- pretty funny. 🤷🏻‍♂️


Dear Evan Hansen... What did i just watch?

☝️ 100%. Dissected TO DEATH when the movie was released.
