11 NEW MUSICALS - WOW Sep 20
2023, 01:50:41 PM
ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Wondering if GUTENBERG will be deemed a revival or new work for Tonys purposes. Their advertising is focused on the newness of it, but the material has existed for more than fifteen years and shouldfall under the "classics" rule (if HEDWIG and BLACKBIRD are revivals...)"
My thoughts exactly -- it's not "new"

Lea Michele as Fanny Brice Sep 4

Jarethan said: "This is the math major in me, I guess, but I would love to know how many performances Lea, Julie and Beanie each ultimately performed. I would imagine that, by the end, Julie may have performed more performances than Beanie. A piece of trivia admittedly, but interesting to know."
According to Julie's Insta, she did 182 shows as Fanny
Beanie was in the show from March 26 to July 31 (according to ibdb.com). So she did the show for

Tonys day show cancellations May 30
2023, 01:17:27 PM
I've been lucky enough to attend the Tonys twice -- and I saw "Proof" the day it won the Tony and "Kinky Boots" the day it won the Tony. As others have said it HAS to be the logistics of getting so far Uptown. In the past, with Radio City, EVERY show COULD walk to Radio City if needed (except perhaps shows at Lincoln Center)

Is there any scientific data? Such as a best musical win get's you 15% box office bump?"
I'm sure there is someone who could mine the data but I think there's so much fluctuation because of what a show has done before the Tonys.
Sometimes, a Tony for Best Musical can prevent a show from a lik

I thought it was terrifically fun, but Judith Light was wasted in the role, IMO.

None that I have heard, but based on the casting game so far this season, I'm expecting a genuine dance-heavy hitter like Olivo. An ambitious production team would probably pursue DeBose as well."
I think DeBose is perfect for it. Along with current Princes, Gavin Creel as Molina and and Joshua Henry as Valentin.

Katy Perry in THE ADDAMS FAMILY LIVE Sep 1
2022, 11:11:12 AM
If I remember correctly, the show was in trouble in Chicago, so Jerry Zaks was brought in to pep up the show. I think that his history with Nathan came into play and they just gave Nathan tons more to do.
Please don't come at me if I've gotten this incorrect.

Row Hotel on 44th Street and 8th Avenue to house migrants coming from Texas Aug 19
2022, 01:09:58 PM
everythingtaboo said: "Because you posted this here and ATC without the actual article:
NYC moving migrants into famed luxury Times Square hotel
No one is forcing the hotel to house them. But the city is desperate to house them and is actively soliciting bids. Hopefully it all works out while Gov. Abbott finishes up with his little publicity stunt."
You nailed it -- it's all a stunt by Abbott to show he's 'tough' on immigration. He's an embarrassment to our state. Grateful that NYC is helping

CarlosAlberto said: "I have to say that all these re-casting choices are ON POINT - this show is easily one of the MUST SEE events of this Broadway season. I just wish that Sondheim were alive to see this..:he would be so pleased."
Totally agree Carlos -- I thought it was near perfect and could only think of how proud and pleased Mr. Sondheim would have been.

How much longer can Aug 18
2022, 10:21:06 AM
I saw it last weekend (for the first time in NYC) -- The Ambassador was the only house I hadn't seen a show in. The show is exactly what every tourist wants, while it's a little long, it will continue as long as the house continues to fill like it did Sunday night.
But you're all right -- WOW that house needs a complete overhaul
