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

However, since you ask, my problem is only with the title and problematic legacy of this “honor”. Knight of the British Empire. Who would want such a title, much less consider it an honor? Why on earth would Americans demean themselves by bowing down to such silliness?

I was not cruel to Barbra. Firstly, I doubt she reads this board, and sccondly, I said it without judgement. Only to contradict your point that because she has a mall in her basement she has no problems. I'm on Chapter 10, like I said, and I've seen nothing about emotional abuse. Maybe that is to come."

Of course he should be proud of the thumbs ups he gets. Tot

I saw this and was looking forward to it. But, musical or not, I just feel that the whole thing felt…well…flat. And, I can’t for the life of me figure out why it did. But, I didn’t know it was a musical going in but even then, that didn’t get in the way of me finding the whole thing to be just so so at best. 

I think that the whole bait and switch angle that studios are going for with movie musicals to be flat out stupid. I totally understand that m

To the OP,

I hate to break it to you, but, Stubhub did the right thing in the right way. They didn’t pay for your tolls or lunch or anything else that was part of your outing. I mean, yeah, it sucks that the seller cheated the system for their own financial gain but they refunded you in the end. 

As for Theatr app, I love it, there’s only one thing now that annoys me with the pay now feature. That is that you can’t get in touch with the seller. I have had,

Jay Lerner-Z said: "I can disconnect too. The difference here is that I can not trust a baron from the House of Lords to write a fair depiction of class. Same with Downton Abbey, which I did watch. He actually made the aristocrats of imperial Britain likeable and sympathetic. I'm not falling for that again."

Clearly you just proved you cannot disconnect the two. The aristocrats in Downton were meant to be liked since it was a tv show. That was the goal. You make
