As was stated earlier in the thread, no one knows what the future would hold for the Midnight post Chicago run. Sure, it may aim for Broadway but not make it. It may aim for Broadway and end up m

Well, in I want to say 2012 or so, Pete Townshend sold his entire catalogue of songs written for The Who to Spirit Music Group a boutique music publishing company. Now, I don’t know if Pete selling the catalogue of all songs he wrote for The Who to them could impact any future recording. But, it should be worth pointing out that Ingrid Michaelson is also on the roster of Spirit Music Group’s artists as well.

I believe theatrefan4 is referring to Newburgh. A town upstate that does in fact have a higher crime rate than NYC. I lived in Rhinebeck for a few years, not far from Newburgh. And, I have a strong memory of driving through the town and even then feeling unsafe. 

Now, two things, one is I work on Broadway, and every time I am leaving my theatre to head home, I see tons of people walking around with playbills in hand from various shows. I think things will slowly come back. Keep in

The previous posts in this thread, the ones that talked about how they hope the show flops or she never works again. Those comments are what I am talking about. Specially those in response stating that one must be agreeing with her views if they are willing to see the show. I get it, there are people out there to whom what she said  doesn’t sit well with them, and as a result, don’t want to see the show. That is totally fine. After all, no one is being forc

The thing is that she said words. She didn’t do anything other than express her own personal opinion on things. Sure, vile as they may have been, she has just strong a right to say them just like someone else has just a strong a right to disagree with them. If you disagree with what she said, that’s on you. To say that she shouldn’t work because of things she said is beyond over the top and that is the the biggest issue I have with the bogus cancel culture

I'll always be bummed when a production cuts "Dog Eats The Dog" (which is one of the easiest things to cut when shaving down the time) because it's such an interesting juxtaposition of godless Thenardier vs deeply religious Valjean & Javert. And Sacha would ha

I think that you’re reading too much into it. There’s really only one thing you have got to understand and it’s this. 

This woman is no more! She has ceased to be! She’s expired and gone to meet her maker! She’s a stiff! Bereft of life, she rests  in peace! If she hadn’t had consumption she’d be pushing up the daisies! Her metabolic processes are now history!  She's kicked the bucket, she's s

I'm sure everyone involved in a show (not least the investors) would like that to be the case, and many involved may even believe that that's the main aim. But are the key decision-makers sometimes taking a show to Broadway with an eye to garnering attention and enabling future marketing of the show as a &#

Might it be a bit too early to say that most new musicals won’t reach the 100 performance mark? I mean, most of the new musicals that are opening this season haven’t even started previews yet. So, it’s hard to tell. Not to mention that there are some in the mix that are based on known properties (Water for Elephants, The

Perhaps she may very well have, had the situation been different of course. I mean, it was never a secret that Laura considered Eliza a role she really wanted to play. Now, of course this is pure speculation sine we don’t know the full ins and outs of the story. But, maybe she had second thoughts about going back to work just yet, and wanted to spend a little more time with her time with her daughter before going back to work. Hence, she backed out. But, then again, L
