I suspect the familiarity of the title has a lot to do with it. In saying that, I don't mean to questionthe show's quality at all, but The Outsiders

I think it's possible for this play to continue with strategic replacement casting. 

Does anyone know the weekly nugget? I'm guessing with this extension the play will recoup its investment.

Disney musicals are safe family friendly shows that families are willing to spend money on to see one musical during their visit.

No, Lion King won’t last forever and I think it will close once there is more competition with more popular family friendly shows taking market share from Lion King. When will that be? Who knows.

They have not. I believe they only missed one off-Broadway as well."

I didn’t think Cole has missed any performances off-Broadway. If Cole did, did anyone see Hannah Solow as Mary?

I preferred watching this play at the Lucille Lortel. Very happy for this play to succeed though and hopefully it will have another extension.

As for rush, from reading the reddit reports, it sounds like they set aside extreme partial-view seats for rush. Roughly around 20 tix per performance.

I remember him back in the 80s/90s and his aerobic style fitness videos. May he rest in peace.

 

I was at the performance this evening (Wed evening Jul 10th) and didn't realize ALW was there! Ahhhh! We did see Jane Krakowski in the audience and they also had an ASL interpreter on house left orchestra. From instagram, there were members of House of LaBeija and Royal Haus of Silk in the audience too.

I hope ALW enjoyed it!

Daniel Radcliffe has been leaving for a few seconds during Opening Doors at least for the past 2 months. I agree though I don’t recall him doing that during previews or during its off-Bway run. (I watched Merrily in September during previews and then started watching it again in May/June.)

I watched the southern gothic play COVENANT off-Broadway late last year and it was scary and well done (mostly got positive reviews including an NYT critics pick.) Yes the theater was intimate which certainly helped. I much preferred Covenant over Grey House. 
 

 

I’m guessing A German Life starring Maggie Smith won’t go to Broadway anymore? I recall during pandemic there were rumors but I understand it’s been 5 years since she did the role at the Bridge theater in London.

You make a good point. If this is going to be a musical comedy, then Bart Sher wouldn’t be the first director I’d think of. Yes I think he’s great for lush revivals but I don’t think I’ve seen any comedies directed by him.

I watched this on Saturday evening and one of the things my friends and I all wondered was how the main protagonist pronounced the word “Pulse” ….. since to us it sounded like he said “Paul’s”. 
Do folks from Orlando pronounce the word “Pulse” like “Paul’s”?

BTW, if you buy tickets at the box office, the total is the same price had you bought it online. Just an fyi that it’s not like Broadway where you save money on fees by buying at the box office in person.
