L Morgan Lee to direct THE DROWSY CHAPERONE concert for Carnegie Hall. Cox, Newell, Van Ness and more to star.

Amazing causes and all, but this lineup is comedy nightmare for this show and these parts. Drowsy deserves better. 


Is Burlesque in Trouble?
 Jul 11 2025, 01:21:01 PM

During this process, he’s also been developing & workshopping an original musical titled ‘midnight’. Todrick wants to be a jack of all trades so badly, which is ambitious and all that…but he needs a team of people to ground him as opposed to hyping up all of this. You can try to do everything when you’re making YouTube videos, sure, but not a project of this magnitude.

I’m sure a lot of it is ego driven, but the more hats he wears


Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025

ALW is no stranger to multiple shows running at once. 


BOOP! TO BE FILMED?

Boop is the Honeymoon In Vegas of 2025. God help us all.

Casting Theresa Guidice is an odd choice considering Bravo has pulled Housewives of New Jersey from their programming and are allegedly in the process of rebooting it or replacing with the Rhode Island franchise. It’s not like when they cast Erika Jayne from Beverly Hills while she was actively filming, and you have the nice bump of cross promotion. 

Maybe they hope her time in prison will bring a more believable performance?

In all seriousness&hel

The last time Titus was in the show and calling out, his name was above the title billing (he said in his initial casting announcement that he would only come back to Broadway on that condition, being “on my (his) terms”).

The last time they initially refused refunds, and the next day were issuing them because they were called out for the mistake. Not sure if they changed his billing for this round (anticipating this might happen again),


Playbill Pride No More?

SisterGeorge said: “It was a big win for them, but I also believe it was a big win for us. I don't know that we will be better off without their support, however hypocritical it might have been.”

Except it wasn’t actual support, which is the point being missed. They slapped a rainbow on their logo for a few weeks to be heavily promoted in our spaces & get our money, and the second they have the chance to, they fold up their Pride flag and don

She’s been out nine times since May 1st. That’s really not a crazy amount all things considered. 

Looking forward to reports on Montego Glover this week. 


The Wiz Joins the Criterion Collection

Yes, I’m sure everyone would prefer the terribly photoshopped covers of previous releases, or the overused 1978 standard one.

It’s different, it evokes feelings you get when watching the film, and isn’t terrible just because you don’t like it. Just like the film itself. 


SUNSET BLVD. Revival

In my opinion, the actual setting of the scene doesn’t matter that much as it completely breaks the fourth wall of the show anyways. I don’t think the Alicia Keys musical was playing in Los Angeles pre-1950, but you see Joe walk directly in front of it.

It’s an interesting creative possibility for the local audience/community attending to see part of their town (just as they love it when a show throws in a local reference that has nothing to do with the show)

Nothing you’ve said is incredibly difficult to do in a touring format compared to a standalone venue. It’s another step in their logistical planning, sure - but that doesn’t make the actual stunt more difficult to execute than what they’ve already done twice already.
 
I’m curious as to why you think they need to hire and train a new camera operator for each and every stop, as opposed to that person being part of the standard touring

“The walk” was impressive because it was happening amidst the hustle and bustle of the theater district in Manhattan. Other than that….it’s filming someone crossing a street and walking outside for three minutes. A fun gimmick, but not much more than that’s 

It’s not a difficult ‘stunt’ elsewhere nor would it take much time to establish a “route” for each stop of said tour. They don’t even make it a block away


Boop Closing July 13

Matt Roger’s - You were just airing your grievances about other members of the board (aka: not the point of this thread), but somehow anyone who engages or responds to that is hijacking? 

Get a mirror, Mary. Thisprojection is just downright silly. If you want people to stay on topic, then you have to do the same, instead of veering off course into petty & passive aggressive remarks.

Found this to be a lifeless snooze fest, just as it was in Denver. Odd they chose to film one of their visually less-interesting shows. 


DEATH BECOMES HER Reviews

MemorableUserName “Dee also had a channel with announcements, but it looks like folks will have to follow her Stories to not miss an annoucement for the 24 hours it's up."

I just checked both of their accounts, and both have a direct link to join their respective channels. Dee’s is titled “Death Dates For The Gaze” and Natalie’s is “Nat Becomes Her! (DBH updates)”, both underneath their website link(s).

Natalie has a Instagram channel with updates on her performances, it’s listed directly below her bio. Dee is still announcing hers via her Stories and tagging the other actress who will be on.


Is Burlesque in Trouble?

Eh, I dislike Todrick as much as the next guy, but this post seems to be overdramatizing something that isn’t totally shocking. 

First of all, the show doesn’t start previews for another two weeks, and he isn’t necessarily required for the West End Live performances. He very likely has an agreement in his new contract (replacing the director and choreographer) for wiggle room in regard to absences etc, similar to Christian Borle in Some Like It

Had a good laugh at Bowman calling her a “Broadway Legend” on IG. She’s a ‘holistic nutritionalist’ who’s been in the ensemble of five crappy failed shows and brief stints in four successful ones. The ones saying massively self absorbed and delusional are right on the money. 


CABARET sets closing with Porter and Wallace to star
 Jun 19 2025, 06:32:00 AM

Anericans may know some of those names, but they aren't drawn enough to spend big bucks on seeing them perform live, especially not a UK-specific performer like Rebecca Lucy Taylor. 

Aimee Lou Wood would have been the most generally identifiable & enticing (due last season’s The White Lotus) but who’s to say that would be enough for people to pay Broadway prices. 


Cabaret Casting Rumor: Orville Peck & Eva Noblezada

“It also brought me a stage used pineapple that was going bad, and I ate the **** out of that pineapple.”

Evidently. Crying for two weeks over a summer stock production, then seeing that musical eighteen times in two years is…something.

Everyone’s being too precious about this production. From the beginning, it was gimmick over substance and no realistic casting would have elevated it to the heights needed to be a hit he
