I haven’t seen this revival yet, but - seeing as it’s a lauded, Pulitzer-nominated text - I can’t imagine they would have made any alterations to it that would merit another viewing just based on those changes alone. If seeing June Squibb isn’t reason enough, it sounds like you’re not the audience for it, Falsettolands.

The biggest plot hole I can think of is how Fiyero breaks up their fight, gets taken out into the field to be tied up and beaten to death, gets turned into a scarecrow, and becomes cognizant enough to know what even happened to lie to a stranger about a plot he knows nothing about all in the time it takes Dorothy to leave Munchkinland and meet him first in her journey.
In the musical, they can hand wave it away as “it happened in the background” because we don’t see F

I saw the double feature yesterday, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sequel with so much working in its favor miss the mark like this. It’s absolutely wild to me that they filmed it at the same time as Part 1, since it looks and feels like a lower budget rush job in nearly every aspect.
Truly, everything about it feels worse. The camera blocking is bizarre. (There’s one point in “For Good” where the camera is just whirling around their heads fo

That should do some numbers for them for the holidays."
Ne-Yo will not perform December 24 through January 4 and January 20 through January 22.

They get to advertise him for 7 weeks while he only performs 5 of those, and not even during the busiest week of the year. If this is their attempt to bail some water out of a sinking ship, it’s an interesting one.
At this point, they need to hire Alicia Keys herself to play Jersey or Miss Liza Jane and close on a high note.

JSquared2, they’re asking about accommodations for waiting to enter the space before the performance, not about the alternatives to the outdoor scenes.
If folks have questions about that kind of stuff though, they might want to reach out to the show’s concierge team rather than asking on a message board. The email is info@masqueradenyc.com and they’re notably responsive.

My guess is probably that some kind of clause was in place in the event of a Ragtime extension. The two announcements aligning on the same day implies the productions and her manager/agent were in conversation about her employment in some way.

Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG? Nov 5

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "I remember there being rumors a while ago of Andrew Garfield starring in it."
Andrew Garfield and Jonathan Bailey both have a past working relationship with Marianne Elliott, but Bailey’s star is brighter at the moment and he’d sell more tickets than Garfield (not that he needs to if he’s opposite Grande). Personally, I can’t stand Andrew Garfield, so I’d also just prefer he no longer be rumored/attached i

Saw this tonight. Joshua Henry will win the Tony and earned one of the only genuine midshow ovations I’ve ever seen after “Wheels of a Dream”. He and Nichelle Lewis (also excellent) looked genuinely moved. Every time Henry opens his mouth, it is musical theatre heaven. My quibbles with the show are moot; this production is A+.
What a night to see this show, exiting the theater in tears to the news of Mamdani’s win (and news I’d gotten the apartme

No? It’s about living with depression and grief.

Seaview To Lead Produce Broadway Transfer Of Oct 29
2025, 01:54:39 PM
Jay Lerner-Z said: "75 minutes. No set. One cast member.
Why is "Broadway" necessary, and how can Broadway prices be justified?"
Broadway is where they can pack in the most people over the course of a 4-month run and command the most money from a show with low overhead costs (unit set, one actor, one act). Daniel Radcliffe is a celebrity and just won a Tony Award a couple years ago, so producers are capitalizing on those factors. That’s it.

Rocky Horror Show Revival Cast Oct 29

It’s Rocky Horror, y’all, not A Little Night Music. The audience is going to talk back and that’s the vibe of the show. We can debate who should be cast until the cows come home, but arguing about audience participation at a show whose reputation was built on the back of audience fervor is bizarro.

I saw this with my parents last year at the gorgeous new Gulfshore Playhouse and found it incredibly moving. Yes, a bit treacly and slight, but I think that’s easy to overcome with the right performer. Radcliffe is remarkably charming, so that’s one huge hurdle overcome already.
