I was surprised by the pricing on this. Figured there'd be a solid deal to get somewhere in the auditorium. I plan on seeing this, but I'm going to hold off for hopefully some cheaper options.

Do you know when Streetcar was rumored for the Hudson? This is a 14 week run, per the email, so…there wouldn’t be time to get Streetcar in this season, but it could still be coming next summer maybe?

It does. An email announcing a presale tomorrow doesn’t name the Hudson, but it lists the address of that theater.

Boop to the Broadhurst in Spring takes the list on page 1 of this thread to 7 theaters definitely available at least by Spring. 
 

I’m rooting for at least one out-of-left-field show that no one is talking about to surprise us and come in.

Anyone have the presale code?

This is genuinely exciting casting. Looking forward to finding out who will round out the cast!

According to an email yesterday, presale was supposed to start at 10 today, but the code hasn't come through for me yet.

Broadway Flash said: "Another great week for The Great Gatsby. &Juliet needs help"

Is this accurate? They played to similar capacities, and & Juliet had the higher average ticket cost. And it's recouped. Based on costs to run, I'd think Juliet's doing better than Gatsby (not that the latter is in bad shape).

With so many shows incoming, I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about what's following The Wiz into the Marquis. I know that it's no one's favorite theater, but are there ANY rumors around what might take it?

Oof. THAT makes me feel ancient. Ha. Looking forward to this but also have a slight hesitation/wariness, and I can't put my finger on why. Was word of mouth bad out of town?

It’s a clever ad. I’m not ashamed to admit that it worked on me. I went from, “we’ll know when we know” to, “Well, now I need to know.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if this season sees as many or even more new shows opening than last season. Whichever they might be, there will certainly be more shows closing throughout the season, opening up more theaters for new productions. And there’s no shortage of productions trying to come in!

I get that we want to be happy for shows doing well, but an average ticket price over $300 for Merrily just isn’t something I can celebrate. Broadway’s been for the rich for a long time, but it’s really getting awful out there. 

Cult of Love was fantastic at Berkeley Rep. In a lot of ways, a very traditional family drama, but confronting questions of (and differences in) faith in a rich, textured way. The cast in Berkeley was fantastic, and I’d be happy to see them transfer, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see a bigger name or two brought in to make it splashier.

PAC hasn’t announced any of their 2024-2025 season yet, have they? Certainly, something is going to need this space by Fall, but I wonder if there is room for more extension weeks to be added on this summer, if the demand is there. I personally thought it was sensational and hope to find time for a return trip.

Emursive's new Financial District show began performances last night. Has anyone been? Is anyone going?

 

I'm so curious, but I find it hard to stomach spending $160 with no reports yet on how the shoe is (or even WHAT the show is)!

Unpopular opinion, but I’ve never loved this show. I think it works better as a concept album than a staged piece. Nick Jonas’s lack of gravitas and vocal chops don’t suggest to me that this is going to be the production that will change my mind. Adrienne Warren will, of course, sound incredible.
