'Swept Away’ to Close on Broadway December 15
 Dec 6 2024, 07:55:47 AM

The only person I’ve spoken to about this show was a friend who’s an Avett Brothers fan and saw it early in previews. She hated it, so I didn’t bother. That’s how word of mouth works.

I’m always sad to see dedicated theatre actors out of work - especially so suddenly and right before the holidays.


Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to Broadway?

All due respect, I spend a good amount of time deciding on seats based on others’ feedback and sites like A View from My Seat and SeatPlan so I can make sure I’m getting an acceptable view for an acceptable price. I’m personally never going to sit in a restricted view seat willin

What?? Both of Cole’s understudies are cisgender women. Just because Cole is playing Mary in drag doesn’t mean they always intended Mary to be played that way. Hell, most of the replacement suggestions thrown out on this thread are women.

She’s also, hands down, the best guest in Las Culturistas history. Give her episode a listen. She’s definitely a kook.

Thankfully, you’re not a producer.

There’s already a second cover for Mary/Mary’s Chaperone, I believe. I can’t remember her name, but the show did post about her on one of their Instagram stories. She ma

I’ve been a big fan of Betty Gilpin’s since Nurse Jackie and, while I have a hard time picturing her take on Mary, I’m so glad to see her take a big swing with her Broadway debut. I think she’ll be excellent.

It’s official! Betty Gilpin will be taking over as Mary.

Quinta Brunson, Jean Smart, Catherine O’Hara, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Allison Janney. Just a brief selection of options, but I’d pay good money to see any of them.

Keeping it short and sweet, but I’d say is this is about as perfect a Wicked adaptation as I could have asked for. It remains utterly faithful to the stage version and improves on its shortcomings at every opportunity. Cynthia and Ariana are dynamite together.

I hate that we have to wait a year to see part 2.

Wasn’t there full frontal for at least a couple previews of South Pacific? I know there were some backsides ultimately. Am I imagining that?

Definitely good reviews overall so far, but not exactly the slam dunk lovefest a lot of folks on here were proclaiming. A lot of flack for the runtime, which isn’t that surprising.

Honestly, I’m glad it’s not all-out raves. Helps to temper expectations, both for myself and others.


CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews
 Nov 18 2024, 11:54:21 AM

Voter said: "Hearing that the production plans to close in March."

Would probably be wise. Those grosses are going to continue to drop unless they find higher-profile replacements, which seems unlikely considering how poorly the production was received over here and how little of an event it became post-Redmayne. They could feasibly cut the preshow cast and accoutrements; but then you have an absolute nothingburger of a production and lots of sad, empty lobby space.<

The BTS clip of “One Short Day” made me cry. Those sets! Those background actors! Those costumes! Lord, I am excited.

I thought the show was sensational last night and in excellent hands without Cole Escola. Hannah Solow was really f*cking great as Mary, and just shows what a solidly written, 80-minute nonsensefest the play is. There were quite a few people around me who were audibly a little disappointed not to be seeing Cole before the show started, but I heard some of those same people saying “She was great! Have we ever seen her in anything?” after curtain call. Really a fantastic star t


Audra McDonald teaser video -- yikes!!!

No offense to Audra McDonald and Danny Burstein, but I wouldn’t look at a poster with them on it and think “Wow, this show looks glamorous and sexy.” They look like the people they are, in dressier clothes.

I agree with Kad that this production is being scrutinized for every decision they make. Frankly, in a way that feels, well, a little bit

Telecharge, StubHub, and, Oh, Mary, The Ripoff
 Nov 14 2024, 10:15:47 AM

……………………huh?

On top of your post reading like it was written by a bot, the situation sounds like pretty standard practice dynamic pricing for Telecharge. No one is forcing you to buy premium seats. And StubHub is a third-party resale site where sellers can list the tickets for however much they want and pocket the profits. Not sure what your issue is.

And why shouldn’t it have left Off-Broadway? It’s the hottest

I think the advertising so far has been pretty slick and elegant, befitting an event revival like this. But what do I know!


Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk & Bill Burr Will Lead GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS on Broadway, Spring 2025

I’m aware they share producers and that they aren’t the theater owners. In my opinion, they would still be foolish to pull the plug immediately on a show that just got raves before it has a little bit of time to gain traction, even if their incoming show is a guaranteed sell-out hit just based on the celebrity cast. There are other theaters to circle as alternative options, even if the Belasco is still their top choice.

The difference between MHE and Lempicka is that Lempicka received mostly mixed-to-negative reviews while MHE received universal acclaim. Their producers would be foolish to pull the plug this soon after that kind of critical reception. The next few weeks will be telling about how much that kind of reception means. It does mean that if the producers of Glengarry were buzzards around the Belasco as their Option A, they’re probably considering Options B and C after last night.
