Lincoln Center Theater to Revive RAGTIME at the Vivian Beaumont, Fall 2025

Definitely liked it but wouldn’t say loved. All three were very good, but Corden stole the show because his character was the lovable one. It lost me in the last 5 minutes. That ending felt unnecessary. Also, there was a big deal made about Kid Harpoon’s music and there was basically none. That was ridiculous.

HOUSE OF MCQUEEN Reviews

The Wrap is positive for Newton but not the the play. Read a few other reviews and they’re basically all that - praise for him and either think the show is just fine or totally bad.

Jonathan Groff Sets 2025 Broadway Return with JUST IN TIME?

BorisTomashevsky said: "My money would be on Michael Buble if they reduced the dance load. Yes he's 50 but he's the only pop star in that generation who's close to "right" for it, aside from Timberlake."

I agree, and he’s well tickets. Joey Fantone has fans, but I don’t think he’d sell well enough.

Jarethan said: "Unless it is Justin Timberlake, I would imagine those grosses would go through the floor if a boy-band type replaced Groff., and I can't see what he would have to gain by dong it unless he still thinks he could have a future as a movie star and is guaranteed the role if a movie is ever made, which I can't imagine happening.”

Def don’t think he’d do it. That ego is too big. I honestly couldn’t really see any of them doing

Sweaty Oracle just posted that “your mom’s favorite pop star is rumored” to be taking over the Bobby Darin show when Groff is done. Says he’ll post who on his patreon. Anyone know?
 

Darin died at 37. An NSync or Backstreet member? And they’re already pushing the age (as is Groff even though he pulls it off with no problem)! Who else could it be?

Jordan Catalano said: "Getting home from the matinee and gotta say, I kind of adored this but also understand why someone else wouldn't. The entire thing from start to finish plays like a dream, maybe even a memory of a dream. It's very surreal in a lot of it and shrouded by what I can only say is this profound sadness the entire time. I was reminded a lot of a queer "American Psycho" and just completely gave myself over to it.

The show needs to lose the

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "No star of legitimate drawing power should want to follow in Groff’s footsteps here (the show was literally built around him), and Darin’s name is close to meaningless from a full-priced-sales standpoint on Broadway. I assume this shutters the moment Groff decides to leave.Maybe Groff chooses to do a limited run in London after taking a break.

Where the Darin name might still hold some weight is in the regions. I’d be surpri


The Heart at La Jolla Playhouse

Saw a reading of it last summer and adored it. The music is great, and with Eisendrath’s involvement with wildly successful KPop Demon Hunters, I feel like it’ll have some good buzz. The cast also really is top-notch.

The uphill battle is making people get past its depressing sounding plot synopsis - a young surfer is on life support after an accident and his parents must decide whether to keep him alive or donate his organs. Despite the fact that it is about that, it&rsquo

Call me crazy, but Betsy Wolfe just posted on her story about seeing Just in Time and said, “More soon about this show and the brilliant cast.” Erika recently posted that she’s leaving soon. Could Betsy be stepping in?

ooblogway said: "I'm curious about the venue. Do we think it's a pop-up for this show only or actually a new venue?"

Based on its appearance, I could see it going either way. As I mentioned in my original post, I didn’t think the height of railings was not beneficial to views of the stage, and the sound in the back wasn’t loud enough. It seems like a venue that would be easy to transform back, but time will tell. This probably isn’t the show

What I saw was bad. Surprised nobody else on here has gone.


Thomas Kail to direct Michelle Williams and Mike Faist in ANNA CHRISTIE for St. Ann's Warehouse

Faist was the most appealing part of this. Disappointing.


What's next for Laura Benanti?

She was just at Edinburgh Fringe with her one woman show. I agree that it’s been a long time since we’ve seen her on broadway, but she seems content performing at 54 Below (and similar gigs) and some TV work.

I’ve processed this more now and am not sure if it’s the bad writing that makes nothing stick or Luke Newton’s sweetness that makes nothing stick. Newton  seems like a really lovely guy and he had lots of Bridgerton fans in the audience (who were on their phones because they were really only there to stage door), but he didn’t have any gravitas or grit. This was a man who took the fashion world by storm, but this version just floats through it. Again, could be the

This is a new theater created in a warehouse, and the sight lines were not good. The railing at the steps was so high that it was in the field of vision once seated.

The play itself was a whole lot of nothing. It’s a shame that it’s about someone so dynamic, and it completely fizzles. Performances were good, but a thousand things happen so quickly that none of it makes any impact. Working on Savile Row, getting hired by Givenchy, getting married and even losing the most imp


Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025

I have no doubt that her vocals are gorgeous. She really is a great singer, but is there a performance there?! Based on R&J and WSS, I’m not sure she’s an actress. Maybe she’ll prove me wrong.

Keep in mind that Roundabout is a subscription house which skews older. Will that crowd want a late night show? It’s an interesting choice for them to do this one at all. I hope they do it justice.
