Got my tickets! A surprise ticket drop is the way to go. Really happy to see there’s a decent portion of the audience priced at or under $100 before fees.

This has zero to do with Broadway. Move this to the off-topic board where it can languish and die (along with the troll accounts posting about it).

Rema Webb. Every time I see her, she’s knocking it out of the park.

Not sure. But I have to imagine working with a collaborator like Taymor on a smaller-scale production and not something like Annie makes it more attractive.

Lord, I am excited.

I think this is a good example of why shows shouldn’t be announced over a year in advance, especially with a celebrity like Ariana Grande attached. There’s so much time for it to fall apart. In addition to the obvious life crap she’s going through, her schedule changes constantly (this current tour is literally a contractual obligation she postponed because of the Wicked press marathon).

Loved the original, loved the Deaf West revival, can’t wait to see this.

I imagine a combination of high cast turnover and LCT wanting the Beaumont open for upcoming productions made closing the best option. If they’re not in the green in terms of profit by the end of the final extension (not that it super matters), I’d be shocked, but it’ll definitely make money on the road.

Caught this last night and thought Rose Byrne and particularly Kelli O’Hara were perfection. They both rise to the occasion, even if it’s kind of lesser Coward. Their physical comedy alone was hysterical, but I thought their timing and choices overall were just fantastic. If this were back in the day, I could see them taking this comedy duo act to movies and tv shows. It’s very Vivian Vance and Lucille Ball.

The costumes? Heaven. The set? Gorgeous.

My personal problem with the flying wasn’t the cables in and of themselves; it’s how often it happens and the effort it takes to clip in and out. It’s why magicians don’t typically perform the same tricks back to back. I can suspend disbelief the first time, but the next time, I’m looking for the strings (literally and metaphorically). By the third time, it’s like… okay, we get it, you spent money on a complex flying rig.

98 and looking wonderful. Highly unlikely we’ll see her onstage again, but so grateful she’s still with us. I always dream cast her in my head as Mertis in Annie Baker’s John.

Hot take: I preferred her Violet over Deanna Dunagan’s. As far as her age, she famously commented in a profile after she took over the role that the stairs that winded Dunagan really didn’t bother her much. She’s 12 years Dunagan’s senior.

Sutton Ross said: "This article sheds a bit more light on the border concept which honestly is the last thing people want to think about when trying to escape for a few hours."

For what it’s worth, I don’t imagine there are many people going to Romeo and Juliet for escapism. I’d say people are tired of heavy-handed sociopolitical concepts more than they’re seeking apoliticism altogether.

A handful of folks I know have seen it. Unfortunately, the buzz isn’t great (underbaked US/Mexican border concept, uneven performances). Sounds like a skip unless you’re a “must see every Shakespeare in the Park production” completist.

Gurl…

She used to sprint around the Gershwin and belt higher and longer 8x a week. To say nothing of the cherry picker. I think she can handle a few seconds of twirling on a literal playground spinner.
