No one came to Patti's aide when Kecia dragged her through the streets and I do mean dragged.
Kecia is not a "STAR" I do not mean this in talent but I do mean in box office. She is NOT above title of show and when she is out, there are no refunds offered. FACT.
FACT, when you are above title and out of show the general public CAN ask for a refund. FACT.
FACT, The shuberts listen to all people above tilttle of show as it impacts their bottom line. Again

Tony Predictions, Best Revival Play (2025) Apr 23
2025, 03:39:45 PM
To be clear Othello did not need any critics to succeed. And I think that is reflected in the box office. Certainly not the worst reviewed. If you could find a review without the mention of price then I might agree.
Also, did you read Stranger Thing's. Yikes.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/16/25 Mar 18

I am curious why there is so much backlash at Othello when GNGL is clearly on track from 3.2M week next week. If they did 2.5M in 5 shows imagine what the other number will be. Yet this board is quiet. Just noticing a distinct difference.

Gross or you just jealous. What is gross that Broadway and a play are finally earning? How many seasons do we watch shows fold and complain, and then say oh investors aren’t going to keep funding.
We do this all the time. And now finally those investors and a show are doing well. I say good for them.
Two stars? In one play! Wow! I loved it both times. And hope they keep going!

OTHELLO ADVANCE Feb 27
2025, 10:23:34 PM
Hearing whispers that Othello might just be the biggest thing on Broadway right now—word is their advance is a record-breaking $28M, making it the highest across all shows. Tickets are definitely pricey, but the digital lottery is the way to go if you want a shot at getting in.
Seems to me, when I saw the show it is worth the price. Curious if the grosses will reflect the same

Sutton Ross said: "So, last night was enjoyable. Respectful crowd, no issue with the phone pouches, although some were pissed off about it, whatever.
It states it's set in October of 2028 and then there's no mention of it ever again, so that was pointless and odd. It creates confusion and anxiety considering what is happening. Intentional? Indeed.
Minimal, boring sets. Like, I get it you want us to focus on the actors but for these prices, I wanted a lit

This is the most absurd thing I have read. Totally untrue about Denzel's contract.

Was there last night. No issues with locking up my cell phone. Show was pretty cool to me. I have never seen Othello. But it was thrilling. It was a final dress rehearsal. They kept saying family viewing but, I think its feeling very OLD SCHOOl...like they will need preview time. And then hit it out of the park.

Denzel Washington to return to Broadway in OTHELLO? Feb 8

theblackumbrella said: "Sheesh that was an uncomfortable read. If he doesn’t want to promote or interview send in Jake I guess."
I actually disagree. I loved the piece. Its a better listen on the podcast then the written article. The sound of their conversation is very disjointed. And it seems like the interviewer was just bouncing around. This is not a full conversation that is lite and lovely.
I found Denzel to be quite open and honest.

The Outsiders Tour Contract - Where is the outrage? Jan 23
2025, 05:31:25 PM
Call_me_jorge said: "The Outsiders is the most recent winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and has demonstrated substantial commercial success, with the Broadway production averaging weekly grosses of $1.3 million. These achievements solidify its status as a bona fide hit, and yet the producers have been approved for a Level 5 touring agreement rather than a Level 1. This decision raises questions about whether the agreement reflects the success and earning potential of

SUNSET BLVD. Reviews Nov 8

I was genuinely moved by Nicole Scherzinger’s talent in Sunset Boulevard, enough to buy tickets for my parents. But the moment I saw her showing even a hint of support for Trump, I returned those tickets. Let’s be clear: if you stand with Trump, you stand against everything that Broadway, New York, and the arts truly represent.
Trump’s legacy is one of division, bigotry, and blatant disregard for the values that make this city great. He embodies the oppo

George in DC said: "Sutton Ross said: "Lolz."
You must be laughing at your statement because you are wrong, pricing like this is a very recent trend" The cost of producing a Broadway show has skyrocketed over the past few decades, and many factors contribute to this increase beyond just star salaries. Rising prices for materials, labor, and other production expenses, along with the impact of scalpers, all pla

Par for the course for a Brian Moreland show"
I agree with essence here….but it feels more like this producer doesn’t know where they are going just yet…
I mean the same is true for Good Night and Good Luck and Waiting for Godot and Smash so many…

Small correction this production has NOT recouped. So it is quite imperative the show make change,. I agree about hiring another director. Schele is not the right person for the job.

This review was pretty interesting... I was at this performance of the WIZ, gotta say the theatre was on fire. The crowd was on their feet and with the cast the entire time.
I also gotta say, the direction of the show was terrible. I was sitting in row M on the right side of the theatre and missed so much of the show. Often times people were just milling around. The comment in the LA Times about the ensembel lacking personality was try...it is as if the ensemble is just there to

THE NOTEBOOK Broadway Previews Feb 12
2024, 08:19:15 PM
I so agree. I saw THE WIZ in Chicago. And I must say the show it self has great moments but the overall direction of the whole piece lives down stage right. I mean I too, kept lean forward to see what the hell was happening over there. Reall, really poor direction.
After seeing the Notebook last ngiht, I can't blame Micheal Grief I look at Schele Williams.
Makes me no longer wonder why AIDA is not on the Broadway track.

Even more terrible when their producer is a BILLIONAIRE.
If you want to perform to track pay the musicians first.
