Where are you seeing it? Maybe it’s different in the app vs mobile site (which I am using). Is it further in the checkout process? I see no casting notice anywhere, even after selecting seats. 

No absences listed on Broadway Direct or Telecharge - also, going by the latter’s map, I’m very surprised how few tickets are sold only a week out. I know most tickets are sold closer to/day of but I thought this show, especially in the last weeks of their star, would be selling at a quicker rate.

This is what I’m trying to figure out. No one is really clamoring for more CCBB (even though we’re inching closer to the 60th anniversary), and it doesn’t appear to be a rights issue, so I’m perplexed. 

Associated Press - How the Roxies are made: Behind the iconic role in Broadway’s mega hit ‘Chicago’

A bit of a fluff article, not a lot of new information, but a fun read. 

Bummer he withdrew from Three Summers of Lincoln. I really enjoyed one of their presentations last year. I hope the rest of the cast stays! 

They finally started slashing prices for tomorrow’s closing…this evening. Earlier today everything was still full price. Insane how few tickets are sold for the closing performance.

On the note of Funny Girl that someone mentioned - say this production succeeds, and has a life beyond Audra’s contract. Who would be your next big casting for Rose? 

It would be a record-breaking BCEFA performance if Cynthia & Ariana agreed to it. Same with Ariana’s suggestion of Aida. 

January announcement for a late spring/summer run maybe (if awards are a goal of rumored transfer)? 

I was wondering about Brooks myself - I figured it had something to do with the filming schedules of Piano Lesson and her holiday film Oh What Fun (plus having a child under the age of five), but then I was reminded of a NYT interview where it says, “Brooks was candid about how much work goes into forging a screen career like hers. It’s hard not to take some setbacks personally, she said, noting that though she participated in the 2022 Broadway revival of August Wilson’s “The Piano Lesson,” the forthcoming movie version recast her role with Danielle Deadwyler.”

Two days ago, John David Washington said both Brooks and Deadwyler were ‘the next Viola Davis’. Deadwyler is newer to the scene and has a lot of work in quick succession, and they’ve made a point to not address the casting change. It just seems very strange to recast someone who is as talented, awarded, and highly regarded as Brooks.

Judging by the concept art - to be consistent in look and purpose of the giant screens around the corner. It’s another platform for them to livestream the concerts (as well as ads of course) happening where the old marquee used to be - Charli XCX recently did a four or five song set and all the TSX screens were of her performance and visuals. 

As has already been stated everywhere on the internet, the original songs are in Part Two. Stephen Schwartz confirmed this in December 2023. 

Act one is overwhelmingly packed (and therefore performed at a breakneck pace) so they have expanded scenes and songs have new orchestrations with some being extended. 

What are you even talking about? The BWW article literally states st the beginning that their source is Washington himself on the Australian Today show. There are articles all over the internet (Hollywood Reporter, Variety) all say the same. BWW didn’t get anything from anonymous message board comment. Maybe you do, but they cited a source. Himself - and the rest of the article gives clear information as to what we know now. 

People seem to conveniently forget that Nicole herself has been open about have a deep & strong religious beliefs and considers herself to be conservative. Why this is a shock to anyone is beyond me.

The North American tour of the reimagined production is happening summer 2025. This is the same production that has toured the UK and Australia, and while it features the original Broadway creative team (director/scenic/costume/lighting/orchestrator) it is not the original production that became a hit. 

His street performance is online, and his voice is a bit warmer than Francis. Word of mouth is that his performance was very good for a debut!
