They've had since Boston to make those changes - and it sounds like they didn't "listen" then.

Mid-Century Modern - now streaming on Hulu Sep 29
2025, 05:07:56 PM
Oh, some of these comments have aged like milk. No acting noms, no wins...I'm surprised it got nommed as it did - but to be fair, I really disliked the show and didn't watch many episodes - which was a disappointment since I really adore the cast.
I guess audiences really dropped off after the initial few episodes?

SCHMIGADOON! headed to Broadway? Sep 29
2025, 04:50:00 PM
I loved the show, was sad it didn't get a S3. But no way this works on Bway. They couldn't get enough people to watch when all they had to do was turn on their TV's.....they aren't going to get folks to fork over big bucks for it.

You can buy jewel cases (pretty cheap) and even make your own title for the spine.

No....that there are only burger joints or taco bells in the area. (which is what is meant by RE)

Theater Quiz for September 2025 Sep 27
2025, 02:13:49 PM
Q7 is a tad unclear - since THREE of those listed are currently on Bway, your question doesn't specify how we could know which two you were looking for. (I hadnt' chosen the one from last season.)

The Bandstand said: "That wonderful little place on 43rd and 8th closed today. Their food was always fresh and delicious, nice healthy place. Very sad to hear, don’t know where I’m gonna go anymore, all there is in midtown is Taco Belland burger joints."
Well, that's not even close to true. (Re: TB and burger joints)

Observation said: "TotallyEffed said: "Observation said: "Realistically, would/could they drop Chenoweth?"
Never"
I figured as much... if I were an investor, I'd be sh*tting myself right now."
After the reception in Boston, they were already there!

ART - Week-Long Break? Sep 17
2025, 07:57:59 PM
I just don't understand why anyone thinks this is even something worth squeaking about. The production made a decision that they can live with - you don't have to like/support it, but in the big picture - it means nothing.

Let them keep prices the same and let the scalpers reap the benefits. Why do we never protect the scalpers?!

I don't see "comedy", either.

That was my 3rd Bway show! But I saw it with Tony Orlando during Dale's honeymoon - if I'm remembering correctly.

ACL2006 said: "Or what could happen is they bump up Marty as Emcee and go with David as the lone understudy to finish the run. I'm sure one of the other male swings could also cover the role(Karl?)."
They'd have to bump someone up (or hire someone). I know there's is a limit to how long swings/understudies can continuously cover a role. (I thought it was no more than 2 weeks, but then some sort of agreement/change to contra

Florence Welch’s GATSBY Coming To Broadway Aug 29
2025, 09:47:04 AM
I enjoyed this (FG) far more than current Bway Gatsby (BG). Largely because it understood the book, where BG did not and tried to make it a romance.
Like Kad, I hated the preponderance of ballads ..all performed down center in a spotlight.
Did I LOVE FG? No. But there were many elements that worked really well. Enough so that I went back to see it a second time to see whatever growth there might have been since the second (third?) preview

What is the state of Broadwayworld now in 2025? Aug 29
2025, 09:25:43 AM
I'm on with musical and Broadway sub Reddit. Ernengarde's summation is spot on: much younger, lots of repeats, and no sense of community. The backbitong is still there, but you are less likely to see it unless I you are a part of it. Once you read a thread, you only know of additional comments if the have responded directly to you.
One thing I love here is the sense of community. I feel I "know" many of us (good and bad). There it's more random and r

Your first Broadway show? Aug 27

My first professional/Broadway show was Grease in the last year or so of its original run. However, I had been performing in shows for almost 10 years (starting in 2nd grade) by then - so was already "sold".
