What's next for the St. James ?
 Dec 8 2025, 05:31:49 PM

David Byrne announced US concert dates through to May 17, 2026, but nothing yet for New York.  A summer residency perhaps?

Only those with vast fortunes to squander would finance a Broadway transfer of this.

Recording and licensing would be more sensible.

Where did Once play when it toured?  Concerts by single artists play enormous venues including arenas and no one complains about them being  lost or swallowed up by the venues.  This will play just fine.

Doubt it would be a producer mocking something they're going to lose their investment on.  More likely a fun theatre queen.  Not as funny as "Die Fosca Die," but I guess you work with what your given.

Here's a plot for the writers of Elsbeth, free of charge:

A super annoying British YouTube vlogger is found dead in Shubert Alley with multiple wounds just after the parade had passed them by on Thanksgiving.  It's fiction, & absolutely in this reality the parade goes right by Shubert Alley. But there seem to be no witnessses.  In a stunning denouement,  Elsbeth reveals

Maybe they hired the real Celine to play herself.  That would sell tickets.


BEST (and worst) BROADWAY LISTS - 2025
 Dec 3 2025, 06:36:13 AM

Nah.  I saw both Criss & Groff a week and a half ago and I'd still give it to Criss.  He is actually acting.  Groff runs around a lot and can sing, but at no time did I believe he was Bobby Darrin.

That rumour sounds like the most reasonable. His last scheduled date now is March 19 in Paris.  He did good business last time on Broadway.

That show already has a whole tour lined up for the rest of the year with that set.

Paddington Bway Transfer Possible?
 Dec 1 2025, 10:03:23 AM

Yup I can't see it working long term in NY. It will be like Stranger Things.  It might start strong but won't stay there long term. 

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "For a show like PADDINGTON I’m more concerned about the weekly running cost than the capitalization. Sonia and StudioCanal can raise $25-30 mil. But if it needs to cross 1.2 or 1.3 mil a week just to break even, you have to enter strong out of the gate and sustain that for several years.


Chess in February question (Understudies)
 Dec 1 2025, 09:58:45 AM

I thought she was really good.  The person they all should be grateful can't be nominated is Micaela Diamond because I think she blew them both (Levy & Michele) out of the water with what she was doing at the Public.  But I'd give Michele the edge over Levy just because it was a more showy performance. I loved her Nobody's Side.


Paddington Bway Transfer Possible?
 Dec 1 2025, 09:44:57 AM

It could take a very long time to recoup in North America.  Last year's film Paddington in Perus did very well in the UK but only grossed $45.8 million in North America.  It dropped out if thectop ten at the American box office in its sixth week according to Wikipedia. 

Disney should just steal the puppet tech & do a Winnie the Pooh show.

I just love how they're using Canadian as a slur now.

The CTG site does have their Black Friday sale, but it looks like maybe just for dates during previews


Thomas Kail to direct Michelle Williams and Mike Faist in ANNA CHRISTIE for St. Ann's Warehouse
 Nov 27 2025, 02:09:21 AM

I've never read this play, but I knew I had a collection of O'Neil plays somewhere.  Found it.  It is a 1932 copy of "Nine Plays" "Selected by the Author."  And he didn't include Anna Christie!  10 years later did even he question it?

I remember from my childhood my paternal grandfather - who I didn't understand at the time had a drinking problem that I later learned my grandmother, & my Dad & his sisters had a hell of tim
