Jonathan Groff Sets 2025 Broadway Return with JUST IN TIME?
Sep 3
2025, 09:48:19 PM
Groff hasn’t missed a single performance, has he? With new cast members going in, I’m just thinking about how long original contracts were for and whether he’ll have at least a vacation coming up sometime. Because it’s built so, so much around his own persona, I’m deeply curious how the show would/will play with someone else going on as Bobby.

Listen. If they scrap the book and the score, they might have something…
I like the original movie, but this is bad. It’s just bad. I think we CAN still have coming out stories. Especially when they center perspectives different than the ones that have been most covered. But the writing is inept, and the music doesn’t move the plot forward even a millimeter.

Beware: Masquerade Tickets can't be resold
Aug 14
2025, 04:31:45 PM
When I went last week, I was asked for my name and required to show ID. I assumed that for a larger party, they would just check the one person's ID, but there is alcohol served, so perhaps they check everyone's, and they require one match the name of the ticket buyer?
As far as the password, yes, they do ask for it as you enter the building, but by that point, you've already been ID'ed and checked off a list, so it's just for show. Silly, yes, but not

Well, I’ll Let You Go at The Space at Irondale

I’m of the opinion that Quincy Tyler Bernstine is one of our best actors, and she stuns in this steadily unfolding mystery of a play about grief. The supporting cast is also stunning, most with one scene each. It’s only getting a month run and playing to about a hundred people a night, but this is a very special show. I loved it and hope it gets the attention it deserves.

Aubrey Plaza & Chris Bauer to headline new Ethan Coen play LET'S LOVE off-Broadway
Aug 7

This sounds a lot like Coen's previous Atlantic effort, Almost an Evening, which was similarly three very short plays, loosely linked. I remember that show as being a pleasure, if a bit thin. F. Murray Abraham have a delightful performance as God, which has stuck with me.
My prediction is that it will be perfectly enjoyable.

Fabulous news. I adored this play at the Pels. One of the best new plays in recent memory. Will be glad to have another chance to see it.

Play Esq. said: "I was really planning on skipping this one...now its a damn MUST SEE."
I was planning on skipping this, but then the additional cast struck me as super exciting. But THEN I went to look at the prices, and holy wow. Other than the 30-and-under tickets that I very much don't qualify for, the cheapest price point I see is $209, and those seem to be sold out. Most of what IS available appears to start at $300. I'm not gonna get Othello'ed aga

Jesse Green “assigned to a new role” at the Times
Jul 15
2025, 05:21:22 PM
I'm down for a new critical voice, but I'm genuinely concerned that this might be part of a larger cutting back of culture content (not just theater, given the other three). We might be left with reviews coming from a hodgepodge of critics whose takes are impossible to pin down because they won't have the space to even build a solid lead-critic footprint. I'm not worried about Jesse losing the role. I'm worried about whether the role itself will be lost.

Jennifer Jason Leigh on Broadway?
Jul 14
2025, 11:02:48 PM
I saw her in Cabaret and was underwhelmed, but she had the unenviable job of following up Natasha Richardson who gave one of my favorite live performances of all time. So while I didn’t love Leigh’s Sally, I don’t know that my 18-year-old self would have been much more open to anyone’s performance at that time.

Thank you for posting this. I am a subscriber and never got an e-mail about on sale until I the notification from Today's Tix (not sure why Today's Tix would have the tickets on sale first) but thank you because I was able to hop on and get great seats (pays to subscribe)."

When they originally announced the reunion performance, everyone in the cast BUT him was listed. I wonder if there was a question of his availability until the last minute.

Yeah, the new email said it went to people who saw one of his last three productions. But it's asking if we want to preorder tickets to an unnamed play with an unnamed cast. And...why would I want to do that? It's really strange. Perhaps they just have nothing to lose in trying?

Second Stage Season Will Include MARJORIE PRIME and BECKY SHAW on Broadway
Jun 3
2025, 07:06:18 PM
I'm really excited by this season. Two Broadway debuts of well-received recent-ISH plays, and three more daring premieres off-Broadway. With some of the other nonprofits filling space with either a ton of solo shows or cu tback programming, this feels like a particularly substantial season announcement. I'm more excited about it as a full season than I have been by recent announcements from the like of Playwrights Horizons, Signature or LCT, at least, even if individual productions in

Helpful all around! Can happily scratch Totoro off the list so now need to just decide...probably between Fiddler and Giant for my last spot. I'll almost certainly see Benjamin Button. If I knew for sure Giant was transferring, I would definitely go Fiddler, but we'll see if my fear that I miiiiiight miss it finds me biting the bullet and grabbing Giant in the last slot!
I had also considered The Frogs, but...I just feel like even as much as I adore Sondheim, I can probably mis

I’m in for just a long weekend in June. Have tickets to The Fifth Step, Evita, and Intimate Apparel. Can’t decide how to fill my last two open slots! Fiddler, Benjamin Button, Giant, and My Neighbor Totoro are leading the list, but how to decide???
