Apparently, based on the sentiment of that post’s comments, charging money for a ticket to see a show is gatekeeping now? The internet and therapy speak has really rotted peoples’ brains.

Cats was never going to use Cabaret’s configuration anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. Cabaret’s design worked for Cabaret; Cats is neither in the round, nor does it need any of the lobby redesign.

A show about a murderer in a mask haunting an opera house might be spooky? Shocking stuff.

I’ve heard really good things about Paranormal Activity. Felix Barrett’s involvement as director is the most exciting element for me, but I’m always happy to see more horror in theatre, even if the results are mixed.

I’m so disappointed. I was planning on listening to this on my drive back to the city this weekend.

I’d rather they fill it with good productions than have it sit mostly empty with the occasional concert or dance programming. Other than Cats, they haven’t had anything of note there since they opened.

Can attest that Hannah Solow is a fantastic Mary and anyone seeing her is in excellent hands.

Tituss is out both shows again today.

That’s the exact same entry structure as Sleep No More. It’s to prevent entry bottlenecking.

Darren himself has identified as straight in interviews. You’re all being deliberately dense.

Frank will undoubtedly be played by straight men til the end of time. I’m saying Sam Pinkleton will not be casting a straight man in the role.

And that, ladies and gents, is called a “straw man argument.”

Sam Pinkleton went out of his way to cast all queer performers in his production of La Cage. Regardless of your opinion on that production, he clearly goes out of his way to cast queer people whenever possible.

Darren can paint his nails and speak up for the queer community all he wants - and I commend him for it - but he’s decidedly not queer.

Cole for Frank.

There’s no world in which one of the queerest musical theatre roles in the canon, in a major revival directed by one of the queerest working directors, will be played by a straight, cisgendered man in this day and age.

Cole would be sensational, and their partnership with Sam Pinkleton certainly helps make this feel like it could be a reality. It would be a great way to follow up their Tony win.

Rachel Zegler is far more in the zeitgeist than Nicole Scherzinger, and Evita is far and away more well-known and respected than Sunset. Combine that with Jamie Lloyd’s superstar status in the theatre world and it’s not at all surprising this is more of a smash than Sunset.

I’d love to see this transfer sooner than later. If Cats is just going to sit on its hands and not announce, then they deserve to be in competition with another ALW juggernaut.

The fact that a 6-week preview period sold out in less than 4 hours means probably one of two things:

1. They didn’t release every seat and will release more as July 31 approaches, or
2. The ticket price is so high because the audience size is relatively small.
