THE LAST FIVE YEARS Previews Mar 17
2025, 08:32:26 PM
When it went onsale with those ridiculous ticket prices, I decided to book only when there's a discount. Alas, haven't seen any. As for Nick is arguably more popular now that during the iHow To Succeed days (he closed the show prematurely) and I don't think ther lack of sales has anything to do with this tweets. I think it's most people want to hear him sing Jonas tunes, and most theatre people think he can't handle this score. So he's stuck in between.

Chicago The Musical Appreciation Thread Mar 13
2025, 01:51:35 PM
Ashley Graham? Sure, whatever. While it's great to see a fuller-figured actress in the role, I don't really care for her. But if it brings excited audiences in it'll be worth it. As someone who's seen the show 70+ times, I think the energy of the audience is a major factor in how much the ensemble will be on fire. I've really only seen a real badly-performed show once, and it was a Sunday, but the audience was dead so at some point I think they just started playing for the

Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know? Mar 5

Does Little Shop ever offer discounts anymore? Would love to see this pair but it's insane how the prices are more than most of the shows on Broadway.

Why is Oh! Mary! not selling out for return of Original cast? Feb 27
2025, 10:24:41 PM
It's been like days! And it's going to take some marketing to let people know the original cast is back. I've personally gotten lost trying to keep track who is who and when.

I'm really surprised they aren't doing For Good over the In Memoriam. Then again, there's always next year.

If the rumors are true, Jordan Fisher wouldbecome the first POC Christian in MOULIN ROUGE!'s Broadway history."
Meanwhile, every other POC actor in every role he takes is like, "Hey I'm right here! And I can actually do 8 a week!"

Erivo to host the 2025 Tony Awards Feb 19
2025, 01:37:57 PM
I mean, I guess?
Being a host necessitates a bit of big energy showmanship. I never really get any that energy from her. Would much rather have it been Ariana Grande, if we had to choose. Or Jonathan Bailey.

Where in modern days is there a place for theatre journalism of any sort?

Missing Michael Riedel Feb 14
2025, 01:48:06 PM
Reading Harvey Fierstein's autobiography, I was reminded of all the fun chats he had with Michael on Theatre Talk. I actually do miss him. I appreciated that he really did love theatre, even as he reveled in the gossip. When he left, he took the last reporting that wasn't afraid to be critical. Yes, he went too far when he a delicious bit he could run with (Bernadette's attendance record in Gypsy) but more often than not, I found him to be accurate in the end, which is why I&

CATS Jellicle Ball - Studio 54? Feb 6

Would they close the mezzanine to make the same use of the runway as they did off-Broadway? Or just charge less for partial view?

OH MARY! Replacement Casting Thread Feb 6
2025, 01:53:57 PM
I know I'm speculating on dreamcasting, but in reality, could someone older really be able to handle this role? To me, it seems like it needs someone with stamina to keep up with the manic physicality and fast tempo that the role has to date.

Just Stop Oil disrupts Sigourney Weaver West End play Jan 28

Total waste of time.
Unless they know of someone in the audience specifically tied to Big Oil, all it's doing is disturbing an evening that a lot of people have saved up for to enjoy.

Adam Lambert Cabaret 1/22 Matinee Audience Behavior Jan 25
2025, 10:01:07 AM
Back to topic. It kind surprises me how many people can sit through the show up to this point and not grasp the severity of the moment, or at least pause at that moment before laughing. People really are getting dumber.
That said...I've seen this production twice, in London and New York, and aside from a few light chuckles, I never saw this loud type of reaction to the line. And based on Reddit, most people that have seen this production with different actors have not experienced i

You'd miss the second act.

I didn't really love the first act, but I also didn't hate it a much as I thought I would.
But I wished I'd missed the second act.
