Re: Les Miz Coming Back to NYC in 2 Years?

Aug 3, 2026 — 3:33:13 PM

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

Re: Les Mis at Radio City - Anyone going?

Phantom4ever said: "I’m getting worried by the amount of videos showing up on tiktok. I go to the Christmas show at Radio City and everybody has their phones out there so I hope Les Miz isn’t the same way."After having gone, I can tell you that this is a different crowd than those who go to the the Christmas show. And, radio city closes their concession ten minutes before the show, and make announcements to let the audience know ahead of time. They even have and are adhering to a late seating...

The Death of the Understudy Slip

Apr 5, 2026 — 2:11:09 PM

Jonathan Cohen said: "Getting rid of understudy slips really drives me nuts, not because I'm against it in a vacuum but The Broadway League is being really selective in what they consider wasteful. At least those slips are giving me information I'll look at. The full color inserts I often get in Playbills reminding me to turn off my phone I'm sure aremore expensive to make and are pretty redundant, as ushers are paid to make the same point."I can tell you from my experience as a front of hous...

Metropolitan Opera's money crunch

Jan 21, 2026 — 9:26:06 AM

I had initially read about all this in an article in the NY Times. One thing Gelb mentioned is that they are considering was to turn the Met into a concert venue in the offseason. This is during the gap between ABTs season ending and when the Met reopens for the next season. The article mentioned that The Last Ship starring Sting was an example he gave

Playwrights Horizons sued over discount for POC

Dec 23, 2025 — 9:35:17 AM

SteveSanders said: "I know lawsuits against ladies-only happy hour discounts were quite common many years ago and resulted in some state laws against them."They were. However, they were brought on by disgusting men’s rights organizations. I believe that most of the states that enacted it weren’t blue but I could be wrong.

The Death of the Understudy Slip

Dec 17, 2025 — 12:04:06 PM

I work front of house on Broadway. I can say that I am beyond glad that the QR codes are being used. Keep in mind a couple of things. One is that, when Playbills arrive at the theatre they come tied up in bundles with 25 playbills in each. Depending on what area I’m seating people in I could easily have to do five bundles which would be 125 playbills. It’s tedious work and I’m glad they are ditching the slips. The number of people who take the slips home as a souvenir/just generally likes get...

Laura Osnes Didn’t Get the Covid Shot. It Ended Her Broadway Career

Nov 18, 2025 — 8:36:43 PM

Jordan Catalano said: "It seems like a million years ago but wasn’t it also about putting Tony Yazbeck at risk of getting sick when he had a newborn baby at home?"Yes, and I believe (though I may be mistaken) that Santino Fontana spoke with her for the same reason as Yazbeck. She offered to get constant testing in lieu of getting the vaccine but that didn’t sit well with the rest of the cast. Her idiotic reason for not getting it was that she believed that the vaccine could cause fertility is...

How do Broadway actors leave the theatre when they skip the Stagedoor?

Oct 19, 2025 — 11:47:46 AM

Call_me_jorge said: "“when the security guard tells everyone that the actors have all gone home.”That just means security has timed out.I believe that whole collection of theatres between 44th and 45th are connected via outdoor gangways. It’s possible for someone to enter through The Shubert and exit through The Golden." Having been in some of those areas while working, while some but not all do connect between one another some don’t. Some involve one walking through another theatre to get ou...

Chances of a Strike?

Oct 13, 2025 — 2:02:23 PM

domdomdomdom said: "Surely the Entertainment Community Fund, especially after record-breaking fundraising by Broadway and touring casts this past year, has something set up for the actors and musicians if this strike happens?"Maybe they do or not (not sure either way.) But, understand that if a strike is called by either union, it impacts more than just the actors or musicians. There are other unions/people impacted as well.
