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?

Ah, yes! My mistake.

I also could see CTG snagging the KITE RUNNER tour, it's rare to have multiple plays on tour! KITE RUNNER, LIFE OF PI, & JULIET, and PARADE is a good possible start to a season!

My thoughts as well. Maybe a launch of the Sweeney Todd tour, if it happens. They could also get the MAMMA MIA anniversary tour, that's played the Ahmanson a few times in the past! CTG also loves to produce new shows and bring in exclusives from other theaters, so I'm expecting a few unique additions.

 

Are there any updates on if/when/where this is being released?

Sarita Chodhury, Bonnie Milligan, and Havan Rose Liu too?! This cast at a Broadway level would make it an event!

I wonder if it does well enough that it could do a New York run at a non-Broadway space (BAM, Park Avenue Armory, The Shed, etc.), there isn't need for a New York revival but if there's enough love for it then maybe they can plan a limited run somewhere in the city.

Raul Esparza and Hannah Waddingham. He'd get theatre people excited to come back, and a West End star-turned Emmy winning sitcom star would draw in box office AND be a fabulous casting choice. I think they can get by with a "Broadway famous" Sweeney if they bring in a Lovett that is a more commercial name.
