I’m not sure even Broadway fans know who Marisha Wallace is

Well I'm sure they'll do just fine without your support -- but thanks for chiming in."

You’re right, we shouldn't be discussing theatre on a theatre message board. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

This cast is overflowing with talent but after seeing him be immensely bland in some plays as of late I don’t think I need to see Matthew Broderick again. 

Ones I go back to:

New Merrily

Kimberly Akimbo

Three Houses

Maybe Happy Ending

Suffs

I absolutely adored Liberation, and I actually could see it succeeding on Broadway. But it would have to be a small house, it would have to be a limited run, and it would probably need some sort of star attached (which then gets tricky due to the nudity). 

Did this need clarification? When asked about Patti / Audra they said “I’ll leave it for the states to decide”. It was so clearly not a dig at all, just something silly to say  in response. 

I will never forget the embarrassment I felt watching Tony Yazbek sing and dance to “I’m a penis rocket ship”. Like, oh my god this man is an insane talent and this is the material you give him to work with?!

I think I have such trauma from Getting The Band Back Together I will never trust Ken Davenport again

Not sure he’s done either here

Jane Krakowski is already in the music video, let’s get her on stage too!

Awful new title. What happened to fun?

This show adds up to a whole lot of nothing. It feels like it’s trying to be satirical but there’s no wink to the audience at all. Also while some of the vocals were stellar, others were… quite bad. Honestly I felt embarrassed for everyone on stage. 

Probably the latter. TDF doesn’t tie in with the box office’s software and assign seats the second you buy them. They just send a list of names and number of seats the box office, and someone manually assigns them there ~2 hours before curtain. I don’t think the TDF platform would know if only a single seat is left.

Just want to give a shout out to Sara Holdren who was also a finalist for her 2024 body of work in theatre criticism. She's really the critic whose reviews I most look forward to reading because even if I don't agree with her, she always has something constructive and insightful to say about theatre as an artform.

And Lion King made trims as well, cutting Morning Report

Wait is this how AI is gathering data these days?!

Having never watched it or read it before, my biggest surprise seeing Angels back in 2018 was just how funny it was. It’s emotional and beautiful too of course, but it goes down so smooth. I wish I saw it as a single day. 

Big groupings of tickets have been popping up for this show on the Theatr app. Anywhere between 6-20 at a time. Looks like scalpers are trying to offload their tickets for whatever they can get.

Crazy to think this almost went to Bway but was cancelled by covid. I’m glad too — it wasn’t ready.
