2025 - 2026 Touring Season Jan 17

I think the show only toured for about a month or so without McClure before it closed. I’m assuming the new tour will be a non-equity tour.

Outrageous Back to the Future tour scam! Dec 23
2024, 07:39:50 AM
A show loading out during the show is highly unusual for a tour. Any chance those set pieces just happened to not be working on the last night? Could’ve been that there was a mechanical issue but they still wanted the show to go on.
But I understand wanting your money back. I also wanted my money back after sitting through that show on Broadway.

'Swept Away’ to Close on Broadway December 15 Dec 6
2024, 02:33:57 PM
This is just gonna keep happening every time a show closes early, huh? The cast lashes out, the fans lash out, everyone starts blaming jukebox musicals and IP based shows, etc. Rinse and repeat. Getting tiresome at this point.
I’m absolutely heartbroken that the cast had the rug pulled out from under them with such short notice. I totally feel their frustration and anger. But directing it at audiences is not really the way to go. If we were living in a world where Broadway was fr

Universal's WICKED Film - News & Discussion Thread Nov 29

I don’t get how saying “everyone’s tastes are different” is attacking you. You didn’t like it. That is okay. It seems you’re upset that others enjoyed it and you now feel left out. I’m sorry you feel that way. There are clearly others who agree with you, so don’t feel sad. I have a close friend who didn’t like the movie. All I said in response was, “Oh, well I liked it!” And that was the end of the conversation. Because ar

2024, 10:29:58 AM
Listener - There are lots of movies, TV shows, and Broadway shows that are widely praised that I simply don’t care for. But I don’t go around demanding the fans of those movies and shows explain to me why they love them so much because I understand that art is subjective. I also don’t read message board threads about art I didn’t like because that feels like a complete waste of time. Life’s too short.
If you didn’t find Ariana funny, fine.

MOULIN ROUGE! Broadway Casting Thread Nov 28

everythingtaboo said: "They're just trying to tank the show at this point. Why George why."
He sold tickets last time, so they’re hoping he will again. That’s the reason. Fans of the show may not like him, but he still has a surprisingly solid fan base. Judging by recent grosses, the show needs a boost.

Ok, wait, I just downloaded the album to my phone instead of just streaming it, and the sound quality is much better now. No longer has that compressed sound, thank goodness!

I’m listening to the soundtrack on Apple Music and agree, some of the songs sound too compressed. Almost like a “downloaded from Limewire” quality. But I’m listening to “Dancing Through Life” right now, and it sounds great. Would love to listen to this on physical media to see if it sounds better.
And to add to the reviews, I absolutely loved the movie. I cried twice thinking about the 12 year old kid getting bullied for the first time for being gay

Most Broadway principals are contracted for at least six months, and Solea started performances in October, so you should be good! Just be aware that she doesn’t perform on Sundays.

^No, he doesn’t. The movie doesn’t seem worried about giving away spoilers for the plot at all. I guess they figure that the majority of the primary audience has already seen WICKED on stage. Even the track listing for the opening number gives away a pretty major spoiler by listing Jeff Goldblum’s name. I feel like the Broadway production did a really good job at keeping all of the twists a secret. But hey, maybe this means we’ll finally get a recorded version of &ldqu

^And that “vision” just isn’t enough for a lot of people. And that’s ok. I know it must suck reading other people’s negative opinions about your favorite show, but as long as the show makes you happy, why should you care what anyone else thinks? Maybe you could start a BACK TO THE FUTURE Appreciation Thread specifically for you and fans of the show to talk about how much they like it? I think that would be a better use of your time and make you happier than respo

STRANGER THINGS to transfer to Broadway's Marquis Theatre in spring 2025 Aug 6

It's never the theater, it's the show that people want to see or not."
Exactly. And let’s not ignore the fact that the current tenant at the Marquis has done exceptionally well since opening, even if the production itself is subpar. I do wonder how long THE WIZ could’ve maintained the numbers it’s been pulling if it weren’

Happy 5th Anniversary, MOULIN ROUGE! Jul 26
2024, 10:55:40 AM
I mean, it’s still the anniversary of the show’s opening regardless of COVID. That’s how anniversaries work. Pretty much every Broadway show that has had a milestone anniversary since COVID has just ignored the shutdown in its accounting. Wicked, The Lion King, Chicago, Hadestown, Aladdin, and now Moulin Rouge. It just gets messy and complicated when factoring in the shutdown. Maybe it’s a bit of false advertising to say “Celebrating [insert number] Years on Broa

Audra McDonald-led GYPSY for 2024-2025 Season! Jun 23
2024, 11:23:39 PM
Slightly off topic, but I just passed by the Majestic today and saw the new digital marquee. I absolutely hate digital marquees and think they’re making theatres look cheaper. Not to mention that they photograph horribly. So sad that yet another theatre has had their marquee replaced with a digital one. I guess it’s only a matter of time before they’re all that way. Sigh. Ok, rant over.
