The show itself birthed names. No one saw the original ITH because they knew the theater actors in it. I say let's calm down and give the production a chance to gain itsown steam. Theater people really love tearing down our own industry before things even happen. Geez."The Priscilla Lop...

FolliesCabaret said: "Why is Daniela a teenager? Lol."Linedy Genao is 35, only 2 years younger than Andrea Burns was in the OBC.

The Public run will generate buzz mostly by virtue of being sold out before performances even begin. Opening off-Broadway early enough in the season to transfer by spring seems like the goal, but even with ecstatic word of mouth, I don’t see this ultimately doing well commercially even if it collects nominations/awards. It only ran a year in London once it transferred to the West End (where limited runs and repeated extensions imply scarcity and demand that doesn’t actually exist) and that th...

ACL2006 said: "Nettik said: "Am I reading correctly that there's a credited dance captain?"that's not a good sign."Why? I highly doubt they’re going to add some kind of dream ballet, but it wouldn’t be that absurd for a piece of theatre to have some level of movement direction. And if there’s even the slightest bit of choreography, the show requires a dance captain.

I’m honestly glad they went with a group of working New York actors instead of stuffing it unnecessarily with more celebrities. Also, is this Krysta’s first straight play on Broadway?

Went in person to the box office, waited an hour (while listening to every septua/octogenarian around me complain about buying tickets online), and got my first preview dead center orchestra ticket no problem. I also grabbed my ticket to A Few Good Men while I was there. Saved myself $10 in online fees. My first year as a member and I’ll never do a LCT presale any other way.

As always, a reminder that the block feature is your friend. Sutton continues to derail and offer nothing of value. Do yourselves a favor: https://www.broadwayworld.com/managebanned.php

CATSNYrevival said: "Just meant if they’re trying to build hype it’s likely to get buried by all the Evita promo on social media. That’s all."Anecdotally, I’ve seen several friends excitedly repost the Bat Boy tease on Instagram. I haven’t seen a single person post about Evita.

Kad said: "Robert Silk Mason just posted a video recounting their negative experience with Harcourt. It's lengthy and, frankly, kind of rambling and at times hard to follow, but the crux of it is that Harcourt continued to do their kiss on occasions in which Silk, with discussion and approval from production, requested it not occur due to health concerns."They both seem messy and petty, to be totally honest. Also, a

Fred Mason said: "But why would they release the cast recording now if a Broadway transfer was in the works? And where’s the city center cast recording of Dear World, that’s the real question."I think the answer to both those questions is pretty obvious if you give it even 2 seconds of thought.

EDSOSLO858 said: "The cast album releases tomorrow - that was the tease."I don’t really see why they would revive a social media account just to tease a cast album we already knew was coming if there’s no revival planned.

Critics absolutely understood the assignment on this. It’s here for a good time, not a long time.

I don’t personally think there’s anything wrong with the casting since I’m not terribly familiar with any of their work, but - aside from Ruthie Ann Miles and Leslie Kritzer, who are tragically overqualified for these roles - it’s just not very exciting. However, Zane Phillips feels like the 10th choice for El Gallo if they were offering that role out specifically. That’s the real head-scratcher here.

The term “icon” gets thrown around a lot, but it is exactly the one I’d use to describe Dolly Parton. Not just because she was visually and aurally so iconic, but because she was so worthy of being worshipped by the people who appreciated and loved her. She gave us wonderful music, but she also showed us what the human spirit is capable of through her charity work and humanitarian efforts. A truly one-of-a-kind person. What a life!

hak5 said: "my ?? is was this recorded already or are the original cast getting back together to record ?"They’re recording it now with the original cast. It was not prerecorded.

Plannietink08 said: "I'm a bit put off with these horror plays after seeing 2:22: A Ghost Story, given that the "horror" was essentially a supernatural drama, and the only "scares" came from blasting an obnoxious scream into the audience every now and then...Is this along a similar vein?"I haven’t seen 2:22, but I’ve read it and I can solidly say Paranormal Activity is much more explicitly a horror play with a human drama to string it together. If you’ve seen the first movie, it follows a ver...

Smaxie happens to be correct, for what it’s worth. It’s official: https://playbill.com/article/the-rocky-horror-show-revival-to-release-cast-album

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Has Valentina improved after the reports of early performances?"She’s no Larkin Reilly, but she’s WORLDS better than Michaela Rodriguez. I just saw her and she was fine; not great, but fine.The show was on fire tonight. A couple obnoxious call-outs that threw Dratch for a loop, but otherwise, the whole cast was nailing it. Luke f*cking Evans, you guys. We’re so lucky to have gotten this performance this season. Can’t believe anyone had doubts about him, especial...

At least that is the title on the er, "unofficial" recording shared with me back in 2018."It’s called “I’m Having Fun

witchoftheeast2 said: "Is the left orchestra a horrible place to sit?"Answered your question in post #18, but it depends where in the left orchestra. How far over? How far back? In general, I would say take the restricted/partial view notice on this one seriously, regardless of how much they’re charging for it.
