Re: Current TOMMY tour has no intermission ?

Oct 10, 2026 — 3:28:15 PM

I just looked at the length of the OBC recording. The whole show is on the album and the length of that is one hour and 35 minutes. If I had to venture a guess, I’d assume then that it is in fact the entire show. They just decided to ditch the intermission

Current TOMMY tour has no intermission ?

Oct 10, 2026 — 12:07:18 PM

So, I was on the website for the Tilles Center which is not far from me on Long Island. The current tour is playing there and the website said that there’s no intermission. Is something like that common? I know the act one closer is Pinball Wizard and that was where the intermission was when the revival was at The Nederlander. Generally speaking, is this a common alteration or is this a unique situation?

Re: THE ODD COUPLE with Stephen Colbert Next for the Sondheim Theatre?

Sep 25, 2026 — 1:42:38 PM

Colbert has never been shy to admit that he is a major Lord of the Rings fan. To that end, Peter Jackson is working on a new Lord of the Rings movie and Colbert is writing it. I have no idea if that would get in the way of him being able to do The Odd Couple or not. But, come to think of it, it may be possible. The only news that has come out regarding the movie are just the fact that Jackson is directing it, Colbert is writing it and the whole project is in its very early stages.

Re: North American Tour of The Lion King to close in 2027

Maybe I’m misremembering, but weren’t both Morning Report and the ballet in Can you Feel the Love Tonight cuts that were made for the Vegas production? I know that shows with multiple productions likes to keep things uniform which is what got me wondering

Re: Spirited Away in Movie Theatres, is it worth seeing?

HBO Max has pretty much al...

Re: Service Dogs in Theaters

The annoyance that I have experienced as an usher (feelings not limited to just mine) is that there are people who just bring their dog with them that isn’t a service dog in any form or fashion. They just couldn’t live a few hours without Fido being there with them. we could tell when a dog was a service dog or not. However, NY state law says that you can’t legally ask the person if it’s a service dog. So normally we just had to deal with it when it happend since there was nothing we could do...

Re: Anyone know what's actually going into New World Stages?

Aug 18, 2026 — 7:05:33 PM

Mr. Wormwood said: "People have been predicting Six to either close or move to NWS for YEARS now. It still could happen but I'll believe it when an official announcement is made."Thanks. What you said makes sense,thanks. I guess it shouldn’t be such a shocker to me that there seem to be posters here who have claimed things are going to occur and never come to fruition. Like you, I’ll believe Six will move to New World when there is a press release.

If this is going to be an immersive production, how would they even go about doing it? When it comes time for the barricade scenes in act to, what are they gonna do? Give everyone a prop gun to shoot?

New Slam Frank ad inspired by the Paddington musical

Jul 30, 2026 — 9:35:17 PM

I saw this earlier today and c believe it. Making an ad campaign based on a cute missing teddy bear drawing is one thing. But, to take that same idea, and then to try to use it to advertise a show about a girl who WAS in fact wanted by the nazis and had to hide because of it. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0adNm6yZ41_IiZTFECYL1e0pQ
