Profile for Sutton Ross

I was referring more towards the license and royalty fees to perform it.

Just like with Heart of Rock and Roll (RIP), I received an email offering free tickets to QoV. They state "Do not request these tickets if you aren't going to show up" and blah blah blah. But it's still making a million a week so I don't get it, but it will be sticking around for the holidays definitely.

A lot of people want to see her in person, regardless of the material, so I get it.

Looking good Rob, and I saw that you listened to me regarding the "Latest Post" section. Much improved, thanks.

Here's the thing: The kind of middle/high schools that can put on a show like Hamilton will have money. Typically, those schools are more suburban and lean heavily white. Just like In The Heights, Lin has explained that racial casting doesn't matter in an educational setting, and an educational setting

Already confirmed, December 4 - January 25."

That should do some numbers for them for the holidays."

Ne-Yo will not perform December 24 through January 4 and January 20 through January 22.

They get to advertise him for 7 weeks while he only performs 5 of those, and not even during the busiest week of the year. If this is their attempt to bail some water out of a sinking ship, it’s an interesting one.

At this point, they need to hire Alicia Keys herself to play Jersey or Miss Liza Jane and close on a high note."

So, he's just straight up taking the holidays off? Wow, okay. That's shady advertising, definitely.

Aaron Tveit will not perform on January 27, February 24, March 17 - 19 and April 28.

Lea Michele will not perform on December 14, December 16, January 23, February 18 - 22, April 1 - 5, and April 11.

Nicholas Christopher will not perform on December 3 - evening.

Yeah, a person who worked with her on Cinderella said she belonged to that church, and that she preferred her leading men be straight. David Pittsinger, Jeremy Jordan, Corey Cott, Santino Fontana, Steven Pasquale, Colin Donnell, Michael Park, etc.

Yeah, seems to track.

She has nothing to do with that production, so don't really see how it's odd. Noah is extraordinary so I'm sure he'll be great in this, not that we need yet another Romeo & Juliet, but perhaps two actors with chemistry will sell it better.

^ Saw it early too and agree with everything you said, except the two new songs aren't very good nor are they necessary at all.

The rest was flawless, no (more) notes. Enjoy, all.

Not a real review but some great pictures and history of the show:

Chess Revival

 

Um, is that right? Tom Felton brought up Harry Potter by 1.3 million? Jesus Christ, I had no idea he was still so huge.

Keep that fabulous career you've established down South going, babe!

Not many, but I think The Lost Boys team is really testing the waters by slowly releasing songs, merch, keeping up with their socials almost daily, etc. to really build a curiosity for the audience and to determine what works. They just released another song today which I think sounds just gorgeous. We all have seen new musicals start their socials like a month in advance with no promos or special events. They all failed. If anyone has a shot or seems to know what they're doing, it's this team. Time will tell.

I don't think the critics matter much for this production. Lea and Aaron have huge fan bases, all three leads are incredibly talented and good looking, and the score is brilliant. Lea completely turned around Funny Girl and made it profitable, not to mention she was simply born to be on stage, much like her best friend up the street. Plus the kids have now discovered Glee (God help them), making her even more of a draw. I know Bryce works for half the audience, but I feel like that's enough given how charming yet smarmy he can be. And seeing Nicholas Christopher (The Sweeney that f*cks) become a star reminds me of seeing Jasmine last year in Boop!. And whomever their marketing team is deserve a raise for their new promo

It's a cool and sexy musical with the popular kids. And I think that's enough in 2025.


 

I know this was discussed in a general Seaview thread, but I thought I would start a new thread now that it's officially announced. Sounds interesting. Previews start on January 31st and tickets range from $69 - $249.

"Sean Hayes of Good Night, Oscar stars as Elliott in The Unknown. A gripping new play about a writer on the edge.

Desperate to cure his writer’s block, Elliott retreats to a remote cabin—only to discover he may not be alone. As the boundaries between his work and his life collapse, Elliott begins to question everything he knows. Is he writing a thriller? Living one? Both?

The Unknown is a provocative thriller by award-winning playwright David Cale and directed by Tony Award nominee Leigh Silverman that explores the fine line between fascination and obsession."

she really needs new management"

She clearly has great management, a sold out fantastic show in a role she's wanted to play forever. For a theater actress, that's incredible. Ridiculous statement.

It should have never opened, it was the worst thing I've seen in years, and I love both actresses. This show is embarrassing on every technical/visual/artistic level and has no place on any stage anywhere. The film deserved so much better.
