I agree. If we were planning a celebration for a long-time worker at, say, a restaurant, I don't think anyone would insist that we add the COVID closure period to the anniversary date.

That is beautifully put. Thank you!

I was wondering that, too. I was also wondering how being a "period piece" could be a negative criticism, anyhow. Hair is a period piece par excellence and that does not detract from its impact or stature - quite the contrary.

There was definitely a casting notice calling for a white actor as Herbie. That doesn't guarantee anything, of course.

This is an extraordinarily low-performing grosses thread.

It looks like I misunderstood your post, and I apologize for that.

What day of the week is this? You might be able to fit in a 5:00 pm Oh, Mary! and make it a three-show day.

No."

This says it all. The behavior is all in your head.

Given the choice between similarly priced seats marked partial view, would you pick front mezzanine extreme audience left, or front row balcony relatively close to the center?

I thought "Finally to Know" from Death Takes a Holiday was a memorable and beautiful highlight from that show.

The low-point in crime wasn't a couple of decades ago; it was in the mid- to late-2010s, during the de Blasio administration.

I know it would be very niche, but LaChiusa would be fascinating. There's certainly a large body of extremely diverse material to choose from.

If I lived or worked in the immediate vicinity it might well bother me (though I'm probably the wrong one to ask about that). As someone passing through an area that I don't expect to be calm and quiet, yes, it's totally fine with me.

How will we ever survive this plague of seated beer-drinkers?
