Rachel was perfection and would have been a real contender for the Tony. Isn’t the rumor for London Jane Krakowski?

The novel is already a camp classic as far as I'm concerned--letting Frank Wildhorn at it would just be gilding the lily."
Absolutely agree. I chuckled my way through all 800 ridiculous pages.

but an anomaly for sure, audience was overall great and very enthusiastic (and sold out upstairs)"
That…sounds like the audience was not at all fine.

Denzel Washington to return to Broadway in OTHELLO?

Who said they came out of nowhere? I just mentioned The Producers which hit Broadway almost 25 years ago. I never implied this happened overnight, the wild rise in prices can be easily traced, especially with your handy Hamilton numbers. (Which really isn’t a great example, it was a major cultural phenomenon that was even featured on the cover of Rolling Stone. It was not your average Broadway play with an A-List movie star) We all know how supply and demand works and yes, som

Sutton Ross said: "That's a bit of a generalization, that Broadway has "turned into this". There has always beenshows with huge stars that have very expensive tickets, this is nothing new. Currently shows need to be brilliant or have huge stars to make a profit. It's a business and the goal is profit, like any other business.
Plus, there are always promo codes and good deals floating around for many shows out there. Just not this one.”

$250 for the last row of the mezzanine is psychotic.

Broadway Flash said: "If they don’t do the New Orleans thing, it’s because it all changed when they had to get a new director at the last minute and she convincedGeorge c Wolfe to do it. They 100% had/have a new book writer who wrote a new book. They’re going to start rehearsingthe show on Monday. Curious to hear what they do with these additional weeks of work."
Start building your case early, my dove. Proactive. I like it.

The fire escape? That's probably super unsafe and illegal and I don't see Equity ever allowing it anyway.

If you listen for it you can actually hear Gulch's theme in the trailer.

The hearing devices were a huge problem which really dampened the experience. They were chirping and buzzing and squeaking the entire show and the play is very quiet and hard to hear as it is. The ushers did nothing to assist the people with devices making sounds.
Many cell phones going off, texting, people talking in full voice to their partners, loud candy and food being eaten and unwrapped. It was such a headache. Multiple shushing and turning around and shooting dirty look

I thought the "opening credits" at the beginning were a bit strange and awkward, not sure how I feel about it.
Patti is doing Patti before she's chiseled away at her marble. I find Patti is at her best either after an out of town/off-Broadway tryout and marinates for a bit. She is really a fantastic actress after she'd really done the work and found the subtleties and nuance. Give her a few weeks. I think someone with a bit more earthy realism would be good in this ro
