Which is inevitable, yeah? Her run was a major success, I’ve been waiting for a return announcement like they’ve done with Jinkx and Ariana. 

The book also needs extensive work. 

Unless this is something truly spectacular, I feel like this should be a BCEFA concert. 🤷‍♂️

It sounds like they are aiming to have at least Toronto and West End running for the 40th anniversary next year. Do we think it’ll come to New York by next July? 

I’m still on hold, but the automated commercials are just repeating the (now cancelled) “Forbidden Broadway” ad over and over. 

This cast is phenomenal, and I’m glad these performances and arrangements are being preserved. I already know I’ll be replaying this revival’s “If I Could Feel” more than I should. 

To whom it may concern: Please give us the full album. I actively mourn the almost-50-year-old original cast album’s omissions. 

“The show, written by Gerard Alessandrini, was to begin previews July 15 and to open Aug. 5 at the Helen Hayes Theater, and was to be capitalized for $3.2 million, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is not clear if the producers had successfully raised all that money, and ticket sales, which began earlier this month, had been slow.”

 

MSAQ is being performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in August, and he is doing a different show prior to that. If a transfer dues happen (unlikely), it would be fall/winter, and hopefully off-Broadway first. 

I’ve listened to all episodes thus far, and honestly, The Sunset Project is a more interesting and entertaining podcast on the subject.

…but then they lose something to be obnoxiously self righteous about!

“I (a person who keeps tabs on almost all Broadway shows) only learned tonight via reviews that the show is:

• a musical comedy
• set in the 80s
• antics involving a cardboard factory
• featuring a himbo in a towel”

They probably could/should have done the opposite of The Wiz - a limited revival followed by a national tour. I think it would have done well for a limited run around reopening, it’s light, and would then continue to do well on the road. I don’t see a stand-alone revival being a big success, especially not right now. 

Any merch? Is the album available at the theater?

By far my favorite set design of all time (obviously). 

From: “it would be kinda neat if shows discounted their inventory to try to fill their houses.“

To: “it would be amazing if they did something like this and lowered the prices, it's never a guarantee that it would fill houses”

🤷‍♂️

She’s been pretty booked back to back since Sunset closed, but I can’t find anything announced that far out, so it’s still a possibility. It would be her fourth time on Broadway, IIRC.

I wasn’t saying that those performers have forever ruined their voices and can no longer sing. My point still stands that each of them had years of very rough vocal performances, during and post-Wicked.

Shoshana vocally struggled through her stint on the national tour (after straining her vocal cords on Broadway), same for Idina in London, and Eden in LA & SF but has yet to make the full arc that the former two have with their adjustments.

Please don’t tell me it’s because of the key changes for Jinkx. I’ve heard her and she sounds great, IMO.

I have lived here for a decade. Never had an actual problem until this year, and now I’ve had three. The first being a homeless & unwell person, with a knife, at 34th St station while on my way to a presentation two weeks ago. Luckily other passengers stepped in where the police officer moved further down the train
