Let's not wish that for another cast."BS based on jealousy of a few cast members because Harcourt became a media darling. The show closed and he still was invited onto national late night TV. They're going to be bitter twisted bitches for the rest of their lives.

The library near me discards ratty old books and ones that no one has checked out in ages as well. They have a cart where they sell them for like 50 cents to a dollar. Sheet music to Passion? They'd be lucky to get 50 cents. Might as well give it away.But seriously, I'm seeing Ms Erivo in convert this coming weekend. Do I yell out, " Are the rumours true? Are you doing Passion in Broadway?"Friday I told a co-worker I was seeing her show. It's one of the evening concerts at Vancouver's big ann...

Scott Roeben's Vital Vegas blog post about Awakenings' closing "Losses were estimated to be $150,000 to $200,000 a week"

News out today that the big show Awakenings at the Wynn will close October 10. Google says it is estimated they spent between $120-150 million on this show which required a complete overhaul to the theatre which used to house the water show LA Reve.

German actor Daniel Donskoy plays "the gangleader" and was on a German talk show the past week promoting the show. Here's the clip ftom YouTube of him singing David Bowie's song Sweet Thing:

Yesterday afternoon on Diego Rodriguez's instagram I saw a trailer for a show he's in right now at a festival in Germany - a new Ivo Van Hove musical using David Bowie songs. I can't find a version of the trailer I can easily share here - but it had a lot of our little Diego over acting & looking ridiculously sexy. Kind of an apocalyptic Outsiders look. Here's the link to info on the festival site. I noted that Seaview is one of the co-producers.https://www.ruhrtriennale.de/en/programme/rebel...

Imagine...a whole bunch of Ken dolls hanging out in boxer briefs

The email and press today pushed people to the website who were unaware it was on sale probably. Every date is 75 percent sold."The date I'm going was already 100% sold out when I looked last week to see if any extra seats were available.

I dunno, but I watched that same monologue on youtube just now on the train into work and was laughing out loud a few times. The point of the stories was that they were just funny self-deprecating stories that show she's a real person who isn’t full of herself.

Timon3 said: "Is there still a discount booth on the strip?What is now playing the former Phantom theatre in the Venetian and the former Lion King theatre at the Mandalay Bay resort?"I think the Venetian uses that space mostly for concerts, but they did host the Mrs Doubtfire tour recently and the BOM tour will be there for 2 weeks in November.The Cirque show MJ One has been at Mandalay Bay since 2013. I've seen it twice and like it. It is more a dance/gymnastics show set to his music and not...

Cirque du Soleil's show Mad Apple at the NYNY has anounced a closing date of September 5.https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/mad-apple-to-close-at-new-york-new-york-in-early-september/?A couple other small production shows have also recently closed like the long running Menopause the Musical. According to other posts on the Vital Vegas blog linked above, unlike in the past where hotel casinos subsidized the shows running in their showrooms, now most show producers just rent the theatres & are r...

JSquared2 said: On behalf of NYC -- THANK YOU!!"😒🥱

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "What’s up with REGENCY GIRLS? Are they about to announce a New York production, or going out of town again? They’re posting cryptic photos of the cast in costume in NYC."Who even cares? Honestly this Fall is looking really disappointing. I have tickets right now for In the Heights, Benjamin Button, Much Ado About Nothing, & A Few Good Men. Cats got stuffed in a bag with a bunch of bricks and thrown in the river. There's so little else that interests me, so final...

Much more reasonable prices than the concerts in November I was looking at. Unfortunately I won't be in NYC in January.

Was looking at prices for the Tosca concert performance with Kaufmann in November in NYC that went onsale today. After being in the queue for 2 hours I finally was let in to see that they are asking $186US for up in the balcony. You risk your life sitting there. Ridiculous!

So much for "queer joy." The people putting this dirt on their socials immediately are just showing what low class trash they really are. If I was the man daily going beyond my pay scale to do endless promotion for the show, while in the background having to deal with real cattiness, I wouldn't bother with the after party either.

Is he a real life Max Bialystock?

BJR said: "If RAGTIME was making significant money, they would be keeping it open. LCT (or any non profit right now) is not in the position to be closing hits they could run."Also, if the stars weren't willing to extend, they may have decided it wouldn't be viable to continue with a replacement cast. People want to see Joshua Henry.

I've been back home two days & return to work today. I got busy during the trip & sort of lost my momentum to keep writing. But made myself finish this up this morning. When I first planned this trip in January I had hoped to see at least one more play at the Shaw Festival. But the airline moved my early morning flight to later in the day, making it impossible to get to Niagra-on-the-Lake earlier than Sunday. This had me in Toronto for one night allowing me to see the big concert. As things w...
