I have indeed seen it and it is amateur hour magic. He has little charm to speak of and the acts felt very stilted. I suppose if someone had never seen a magic show before they would think this is fine, but to me it was

If Netflix can't get people into Stranger Things on "Halloweekend" then I don't know what their gameplan is. Yes, I understand it's an abysmal holiday for Broadway in general, but this would have been the perfect show to eat up all the tourist dollars as folks look for spooky fun. It's obvious that they hope Season 5 is going to miraculously juice this thing...but it just ain't happening. I mean, even the Season 5 trailer had some of its thunder stolen because th

Agree with Kad. The musical strangely ignores, or doesn't delve deep enough, into the one aspect that makes its story unique. The connection between Ace and his grandfather Beau would be a fascinating element to explore fully. So much of their lives run parallel to each other, in terms of experiences and identity. Two men dealing with similar things, but from different generations. How might these disparate generational experiences affect one another? But the book and score frequentl

There aren't going to be many more musical announcements, sadly. All of them are having the same problem: no one wants to invest right now. So many high profile musicals failed to recoup/lost money last season, that the usual crop of financial backers is pulling back in a major way. (There is also hesitancy because many people feel that continued pressure could bring back tax incentives for Broadway next season, so lots of folks are saying they are holding off until then in hopes that it

Liberation may struggle with grosses. But even if it does, I don't expect it to post an early closing notice. Sometimes producers go in to a project knowing that they likely won't make any money, but they believe the show deserves to be seen on a Broadway stage. It's likely this is a passion project for the all-female producing team (Daryl Roth, Eva Price, Rachel Sussman and Jenny Gersten). All of whom are quite experienced with the Broadway landscape, quite wealthy, and likely un

I've just realized that my above content is totally blank in the spoiler content area. Good grief...I've never known how to use it properly. Ah well.

My main points: The best things about the movie are Tonatiuh and the choreography. He's an incredible discovery, does a great job at selling both the camp and deep seated emotions of Molina. You root for him hard, and the actor develops a great rapport with Diego Luna. The choreo is stunning and I couldnt wait until the next d

For Chicago, I think you'd need to see these ultra low grosses sustained over a significant period of time and across more than one star casting. Absolutely NO ONE is knocking down the door of the Ambassador, praying they get to put their show in there. It is without a doubt the least desirable house on Broadway. The Shuberts are probably fearing the day that Chicago closes shop because the theater will need an incredibly costly renovation once its vacant. So I think the Weisslers&nb

I couldn't stop thinking about it as I left the theater. While it's not perfect, there are musical numbers in here that musical

The accusations against Singer were what killed the project many years ago (around 2014 I believe) when it was slated for the Times Square Theater. So I was shocked when this thing resurfaced in articles last year, which stated that producers had landed the Liberty Theatre. 

The articles I read don't seem to actually mention who the producers are. So I have no idea if Singer is actually still attached to this. I assume they have had this video laying around all these years (la

Cats and Dog Day Afternoon rumors are accurate as far as I know.

Haven't heard that Pedro rumor, but would love for it to be true. I think his only previous Bway stint was that godawful King Lear. He had a forgettable role (and the production was nearly unwatchable) so I'd love to see him take on something better.

Dr Strangelove wasn't all that successful in the UK, was it? Before that part of the sentence, I expected that rumor to be about the Wet End transfer of Be

I know there are massive protests planned for Oct 18 and Nov 5, but I wish there was some other one (and sooner than those) specifically protesting the FCC. It is totally frustrating that it feels like there is no tangible, concrete action to take against them. Sure you can post on social media, but do they care? It would feel more immediate if protestors were gathered at their offices.

So instead, as I sit here hoping that our country will survive until the 2026 elections, I have happ

"Broadway's last true season"?! GIRL!

The grosses were abysmal its true. But they always have been for this week after Labor Day. Tourists just aren't in the city much since its back to school and they already did their "last big summer travel" over Labor Day weekend. This is especially true for families (see: the huge drop for a family show like Aladdin). This year appears a bit worse than normal because grosses for the previous week were higher this year t

Worst numbers we've seen in a long while. 

Unless they have some kind of stunt casting coup up their sleeve, I think both & Juliet and Hell's Kitchen will wrap it up this winter. Their overall grosses have been trending downward, so they have less opportunity to make up for disastrous weeks like this. I'm surprised we haven't seen more ex-boy band members in & Juliet, but I'm sure casting is asking and maybe those guys just aren't interested. <
