Profile for Brave Sir Robin2

Any floating around for JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN?

Wowza, what a line-up for the Pantages! The Ahmanson had already mentioned & JULIET for this season last year, and I'm assuming WATER FOR ELEPHANTS and THE OUTSIDERS will be part of the season, but not much is left. There's rumors of SUNSET BLVD. doing a Los Angeles run for live capture, but what else could transfer over from New York or London? Any pre-Broadway runs?

Assuming Robyn Hurder is campaigned in Lead, maybe Caroline Bowman if they go for SMASH?

I think, with all three musicals mentioned as frontrunners being smaller and scrappier shows, DEATH BECOMES HER is being underestimated! It's doing surprisingly well at the box office, the winter will be a good test of strength, as will spring with BOOP and SMASH pulling a similar demographic. It got solid reviews, it's splashy and funny, and the leads are pretty universally beloved by the theatre community.

Any current Sunset Blvd codes?

Would be a good get for The Shed at Hudson Yards, once "Luna Luna" clears out.

Discount code: GIMMICK

Orchestra from $99

Mezzanine from $69

Telecharge"

I just tried this online and it made tickets MORE expensive?! Must be an error with Telecharge, rear mezz went from $114 to $135!

 

 

I wonder if Lea Salonga will sing a holiday song or do a solo in promotion of "Old Friends"?

If this production does well and outlasts Audra's contract, Da'vine would be a fabulous replacement for a limited run between her Hollywood gigs.

She would make a GREAT Sally Bowles.

Has anyone made it over, now that previews have started?

Soem Sallys that I think would be great in this production: Margaret Qualley, Keke Palmer, Greta Lee, Mia Goth, Carey Mulligan, Meghann Fahey, Vanessa Hudgens, Trace Lysette.

LOVE the suggestion of Rachel Brosnahan!

Los Angeles had THE LION KING, THE PRODUCERS (with Jason Alexander and Martin Short), HAMILTON, and WICKED at the Pantages, as well! The Shubert had LES MISERABLES, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, CATS, RAGTIME, and the US premiere of SUNSET BOULEVARD, before it closed in 2002.

Interesting to see the musicals outside of Disney, Drabinsky, and Mackintosh that had sit-down productions!

Las Vegas has seen many! MAMMA MIA, JERSEY BOYS, LION KING, PHANTOM, AVENUE Q, SPAMALOT HAIRSPRAY, THE PRODUCERS, CHICAGO come to mind pretty quickly! After the success of MAMMA MIA, there was a big burst of shows, most of them cut down to 90 minutes. 

I think instead of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST or NEWSIES, it's gonna be a Disney revue. I doubt they would do two Disney musicals in one season.

Broadway Flash said: "next season will also have Audra, Idina, Kristin, Sutton, Caissie Levy, Ariana Debose, Robyn Hurder, Jasmine Amy Rogers, hopefully Alyse Alan Louis and many many more"

Even 1/3 of that would be exciting, but there's also the big heavy hitters of Nicole Scherzinger, Megan Hilty, and Jennifer Simard too! Overall looking forward to this, a Tammy Faye musical has a lot of potential.

A limited run, or a run with a non-profit, could be an option. How would this fare staging-wise at the Beaumont?
