OH, MARY Reviews (2026 New)

Jul 15, 2026 — 9:03:06 AM

Bianca Leigh, Michael Urie, and Tony Macht are joining the UK cast from 7/20-8/1 (along with Giles Terera as Abe through 8/15). Guess the filming rumors are true.

Rumor: CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL to close in August?

Jul 14, 2026 — 3:35:21 PM

Sean Nyberg is also lurking in comment sections and taking to his Instagram stories to blame “the community” (whatever that actually means) for not “showing up” and buying full- price tickets. As if we didn’t turn out in droves to support it at PAC 2 years ago. He should be looking into how to reduce costs for audiences and actually make Broadway a place people can afford to visit less discerningly.

Rumor: CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL to close in August?

Jul 13, 2026 — 10:03:53 PM

I think the unsustainable nature of casting, more than anything, is what’s leading to closing. The cost of hiring more and more performers and having to rehearse them en masse while your show is already bleeding money had to be the ultimate nail in the coffin. Hiring 8-10 swings is something you have to earn by proving profitable longterm and justifying having so many people out at a time (something like Wicked or Lion King where whole groups of ensemble can go on vacation together at t

Yes, by Hannah herself. She has alerts set up on Instagram for people who follow her.

Sadly, the cast recording is for sure not a thing at this point. If it had done better financially, maybe.

A tour also seems unlikely. As we’ve seen with this cast, it’s simply not a sustainable 8x/week show and tough on the bodies of even seasoned performers, and it would translate pretty badly to houses 3x the size of a Broadway house in some markets.

I always thought this should have been a limited run. It’s an exciting concept, even if I wasn’

In Meg’s defense, I saw her first night and thought she was genuinely fantastic in the role. Not the Best™️, but very much in the upper ranks of Marys I’ve seen. She may be riding the high of great audience response (and an Emmy nomination, let’s be honest) and leaning into her “bag of tricks” more than she was during her debut performance as she settles in - which happens with comedy, particularly the further we get from the OBC - but I think she&rs

Maybe it was a site glitch, because there are definitely tickets available on Telecharge past 8/8 into January this morning. The prices for that night do seem strangely high, even for a Saturday night and especially for how undersold the house is, but nevertheless.

While there were a couple first night flubs, Oh, Mary! is in excellent hands with the Stalter administration.

Barrett Foa is a great Booth, really relishing his f*ggier tendencies in the bar scene, and looks painted into those pants. Ryo Kamibayashi slipped into the role of Simon seamlessly and seemed like he’s been playing the part as long as Tony Macht. Phillip James Brannon and Bianca Leigh even seemed on their A game.

And then there’s Meg Stalter. I already

Is the new Mary merch typically available at the theater on that performer’s first night? I’ll be there tonight and was hoping to grab a Meg t-shirt in person, but the merch site says it doesn’t ship until 7/14.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW reviews

Jul 6, 2026 — 8:22:18 AM

Interesting that they had a week where Columbia wasn’t even listed in the Playbill, and now Caleb has temporarily been bumped up from Phantom. Makes me wonder if the show tried to skirt around contract end and start dates and got slapped by AEA. Regardless, the company managers over there must be losing their minds dealing with all of this.

Gay Cruise, starring Patti LuPone, Denied Entry into Turkey

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Genuine question. What's stupid about it, and why shouldn't it be taken seriously?

It's not Patti sensationalizing something for drama.
"

If you can’t understand why Patti’s comment is plainly hilarious, then our senses of comedy are maybe just incompatible, and we can leave it there.

Have a laugh, folks. It’s a gay cruise going to Turkey featuring the vocal stylings of septuagenarian Patti LuPone.

Huh? The comment was entirely on-topic. Bizarre response on your part.

Is it bizarre, or did you just miss the joke? Or were you deliberately trying to take this stupid Patti LuPone thing as seriously as everyone else?

John Adams said: ""furious" - fine.

Who wouldn't be? But who is she furious with?

Anyonecan do an internet search on "Is Turkey gay friendly?" and see very quickly that booking a stop in Turkey for an all-Gay cruise is "iffy" regarding passenger safety and security.

For myself, I would not want to be in a foreign country where if, for any reason I should be detained (righteously, or un-), my personal security
