This thread is nuts, LOL.
AA is normally sold as rush, right? I've been dying to see this from closer and everyone I know who has rushed has gotten front row, so hoping to get that by rushing.
As for the "overall takeaway," well, I don't know if there's supposed to be some clear strong message from this. I think it's just a story about |

Matt Rogers said: "Make no mistake- the acting and production design are fantastic. However, the play itself is a bunch of gobblygook nonsense that makes absolutely no sense of any kind. It is semi-intriguing for about the first 20 minutes until you realize that it is never going to make any sense at all, and then it just gets infuriating.
Why did these fine actors agree to star in this? Why did these producers give it the light of day? These are the questions I ponder ins

I saw it for the second time last night, this time in Orchestra Row J instead of Orchestra Row AA. Being so close in AA felt like I was in the house with them, but J had a better view of the floor and the table. They changed the ending and I thought it was fantatstic!! It made the character motivations much clearer and I had a massive "OH!!!" moment (massive plot-detail spoiler but holy crap I'm so excited!):

Okay, I just saw this last night and I adored it (as I expected to based on what I'd heard - this is my exact favorite genre). I almost never post here but I had to go somewhere to talk through my theories on this story, LOL.
I also didn't find it as confusing as other people made it sound. I have a few lingering questions about some elements, which I like (because I like to theorize), but overall the story is pretty clear to me.
My personal theory:

Kelli O'Hara comments about a Broadway producer Apr 30

Soaring29 said: "She has every right to speak out and there is no way to confirm which producer this is at this point or if she has worked on a show with them or not in the past. But yes speculating about who that person is is valid as she did bring it up after all. Shady seems to imply a negative hue to her comment however which I don't believe was accurate."
Definitely didn't mean it like that - I'm a Kelli fan and I really admire that she said what she

Kelli O'Hara comments about a Broadway producer Apr 29
2019, 09:47:52 PM
"While #MeToo claims have been widespread in Hollywood, few have emerged from Broadway. "I don't have big ones to tell," O'Hara says. "I have a lot of small ones." She continues, "I've made some big decisions in my life not to work with people like that — producers — and to not do things that might have been great artistically or whatever, because I don't want to work with certain people. And that's just my choice. And that's e

My Fair Lady Student Rush/Lotto May 3
2018, 02:23:27 PM
Has anyone rushed My Fair Lady OR played the lottery? How was the rush?
I'm driving into NYC tomorrow but will only be arriving around 2pm, do I stand a chance at rush or is it not worth it?

Carousel Rush Apr 6

Has anyone rushed Carousel recently? How many people have been in line? Do they always have tickets available?
Yes, I know the production sucks, but I'm a sucker for Jessie Mueller and Renee Fleming.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Waitress and would see it over and over again if I could! But their sales have been bad since Sara last did the role (which is shame - Betsy is great), and certainly will be come again come Februar

Is there a reason why Meteor Shower ditched its whole original cast? Nov 29

raddersons said: "Amy Schumer doesn't play the straight-man very well. Jenna Fischer probably would have nailed it -- she made a living off of being "just your average girl" in The Office.
EDIT: I'd probably see it again if she was announced with an extension."

YES. And this is how I feel about Christy Altomare when she uses her head voice.

"Maybe 7 years ago Jenna Fischer would be a bigger name, but now Amy Schumer’s name is much bigger. The whole cast is fairly more recognizable. Jeremy was a last minute replacement for a much bigger name, Alan Tudyk. It’s just all about the names."
Right, and as a young person who knows very little about comedy, even I know Amy Schumer is wildly popular right now.
Is Laura Benanti a "name" outside of the Broadway world?

I was binge-watching The Office and thinking what a shame it was we didn't get to see Jenna Fischer on Broadway, she's so funny. Does anyone know the story behind why the show didn't keep any of its original cast? Has anyone seen both productions?

The original Jingle Bell Rock scene was choreographed by Donna Feore, one of the biggest musical theatre directors/choreographers in Canada. I wonder if there were rights issues surrounding using her choreography on Broadway?

What's up with the massive drop for Hamilton?
Also, noticed that Once on this Island was 97% full but made less than 50% of their potential. Is that because it's in previews? Hope it pulls through - it's such a strong Tony contender, it would be a shame if it closed before the awards.
