I'm pretty sure you'll were on some pretty good drugs if you hallucinated her doing 8 shows a week live anywhere.

Back in the day they really tried to give the audience their money's worth for their $0.50 Broadway ticket. None of these 85 minute shows with zero set.

RAGTIME closing August 16th; Cast Changes in Final Weeks
Jun 10 2026, 09:09:20 AM
I don't need to see SOM again. Vancouver's one professional rep house produced a lavish production in 2019 that they remounted after Covid in 2022. The second run featured a talented Indigenous actress Maria. This casting caused the remount to surpass the success if the original run due to this actresses overwhelming charm and incredible voice.
Charm & voice are the ONLY considerations anyone casting Maria in Sound of Music need consider.

RAGTIME closing August 16th; Cast Changes in Final Weeks

The two leads who just won Tonys want to move on. Would Ragtime really continue to sell if they re-cast? They would run into the same issue that Sunset Boulevard had. The audience drops off once the star is gone. People are seeing this because they've heard Joshua Henry is fantastic.

I think this is good news. A non-profit shouldn't be running the same show for years on end. They should be presenting new shows each season - whether those be new works or revivals.

The 79th Annual Tony Awards Telecast!
Jun 8 2026, 09:56:42 AM
Scrolling through Instagram on the train into work this morning, & the funniest thing that popped up was a comment in one of the Sweaty Oracle's stories from last night on the Schmigadoon win:
"Why does that speech feel like they only just told Lorne this afternoon that he was the producer of the show?"
Also Sydney Harcourt shared a reel from a girl upset that he was stuck in the back of the Cats performance, which was my thought as well watching it

9. A Chorus Line Tribute
Rachel sounded great but what in the world was the point of this? I kept expecting there to be SOMETHING and it was just her singing the song. Felt very unnecessary.
This was advertising for Evita. Getting her on TV in order to help get her known to a wider audience.

The 79th Annual Tony Awards Telecast!
Jun 8 2026, 01:05:01 AM
Pvr'd this while I was out this afternoon (on the West Coast) & just quickly zipped through the telecast now. I thought Schmigadoon, Titanique,& Lost Boys were all pretty awful & didn't sell me. Rocky Horror looked OK, but I'm not jumping on it at the prices they're asking for Fall. Ragtime still looks as fantastic as when I saw it last Fall. Glad it took home the awards it did. Pretty sad when Chicago probably had one o

I don't like the sofa. Maybe in a different fabric.
The whole place reminds me of a bottle of a Tom Ford cologne.

The perspiration guy might just throw stuff out there to get his kicks when he sees people talking about his rumors.
I only started following him on insta after someone else there threw a fit over commments he made about the vampire show thing - the thing based on an 80's movie, I'm getting alzheimers the name won't come to me. I think the most shocking thing I've gleaned is that he might actually be a hetero. He's mentioned sucking women's toes a fe

The guy seemed to suggest Lea Michele is diong this along with Kevin McHale, but didn't somebody say in the Chess thread a couple months ago that she's supposedly attached to a new show that will be done first maybe in California? I can't remember all the details of that rumour and it's so hard to search for specific comments here.

I just suggested Las Vegas because if you were driving East ftom Palm Springs it could be a first stop. But then you mentioned starting from San Francisco.
If you have your esta or whatever you need visiting from the UK all in order you shouldn't have any troubles if you're just traveling/sight seeing. The people from Canada/UK/Australia who got in trouble were trying to work without proper permits.

Two questions regarding Cynthia Erivo
Jun 1 2026, 02:54:06 PM
MidWestTheater said: "Jamie Lloyd has already mounted a production of passion at the Donmar back in 2010 with Elena Roger...I wonder if this does happen will it be that production. Kind of how he basically brought his Regents Park production of Evita to the west end.
What colour paint did he dump on Giorgio at the end?

Two questions regarding Cynthia Erivo
Jun 1 2026, 09:37:26 AM
I'm changing the sign I will bring to the Cynthia Erivo concert. Now I'll make one thst says " Die Fosca! DIE!"
I'm joking. I'm not a 15 year old Kpop fan. I don't make signs and bring them concerts.
I'll wait until I see the show in NYC & yell that out at the penultimate moment.
I'm already researching what a 19th century Italian soldier's uniform should include, and I'm about 100% certain it includes assless chaps.

Two questions regarding Cynthia Erivo
May 31 2026, 10:27:10 PM
If we don't know by August, I've got pretty good seats to her concert here. I could make a big poster asking "IS THE RUMOUR TRUE YOU WANT TO PLAY FOSCA?" & block the view of everyone behind me. If it's for a good cause I'm sure no one will mind.
Who would be dumb enough to put money in a commercial revival of Passion is my big question? Maybe at a non-profit?

Palm Springs to the East Coast is a very long trip, and off-hand I can only think of a few places where, depending on the time of year, there will be theatre festivals. I'm just spit balling here. The obvious first stop to me, if you don't want a super long drive is Las Vegas - but it's not known for high calibre theatre. In the Summer you could go up to Utah where Tuacahn Amphitheater in St. George is in a stunning outdoor setting. From there wh

CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Reviews
May 29 2026, 10:27:16 AM
Bought yesterday for my November trip, but middle of the night woke up kind of anxious wondering if I should be seeing this twice that week? But, I'd like to know if Dreamgirls is actually coming and if LCT will extend Ragtime or have something new for fall. I'm thinking if Ragtime pulls off the Tony they might extend again. & as much as I am excited to finally see Jellicle Ball, it is still ALW's Cats with the original orchestratio
