What are the other shows you’re seeing? I’d personally say Proof and Giant, but if your trip is already filled with plays, you might want to swap out one of them for Schmigadoon. I wouldn’t recommend Becky Shaw based on its previous off-Broadway mounting.

Nobody knows how the new seating arrangement is going to work because it hasn’t started previews yet. The seating at PAC was a 3/4 thrust, while the new arrangement is basically in the round. The main orch and mezz seating is where the backstage was previously, so the staging will obviously need to change.

They released the full seating chart and it looks like the orchestra and mezzanine is situated behind the runway, while the onstage seating and judge table is at the back of the stage facing the orch/mezz. Odd.

James Marsden is 52 years old. Who are they going to cast him as? Old Rose?

If you’re willing and able to pay more to sit in a better seat, go for it, but I’ve personally never had any issues with the back row of the Beaumont loge. I sat there for Ragtime and thought it sounded and looked great, but you obviously don’t get the intimacy of seeing facial expressions that you would from the orchestra.

I meant their costuming and general appearance. But, without even putting names to faces, it’s fairly easy to spot the folks who may have passed their prime in the show. Nothing to do with age; everything to do with commitment to what they’re doing.

As far as I know, Micaela Diamond is involved in Pinkleton’s Thoroughly Modern Millie workshops (along with Alaska, Hannah Solow, and Anna Zavelson). But she would be great in Rocky as well.

I recommend logging off and enjoying theatre because you love theatre, not because you want to keep up with influencers or even friends who obsessively see shows. It’s actually super easy to ignore the exact things you’re frustrated by.

Barbican, Summer 2027. Directed by Marianne Elliott with design by Tom Scutt.

jacobsnchz14 said: "I'm curious how long this surely "strictly limited engagement" will likely be."

My guess is 3 months in London, a 3-4 month break for one or both of them to film or promote a movie, and then another 3-4 months in New York for a limited run that may extend because of Tony nominations.

As exciting as the prospect of the Bailey and Grande pairing is, Marianne Elliott (so many double letters in her name, I have to confirm it every time) is the most enticing bit about this for me. One of the only directors working today balancing spectacle, intimacy, and genuinely-felt performances in nearly equal ability. If nothing else, the physical production is sure to be a treat to watch.

An announcement seems imminent!

He did play Sweeney after Josh Groban for about a month between cast changes and went on multiple times otherwise. So, no, he didn’t replace, but there was ample opportunity to catch his Sweeney performance.

An absolutely gorgeous recording of a gorgeous and gorgeously sung score. Happy Friday, y’all.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: using AI to generate art is loser idiot behavior and anyone who does it should be embarrassed.

Bettyboy72 said: "Marla is the reason to see this show. The “stunt”

casting does nothing but increase the budget. Cox is so lackluster and not a comedienne. I’d have preferred Missi Pyle."

No one said she was stunt cast. They just spaced it poorly.

Frankie Grande’s casting means I’ll be staying far away from this transfer. Bummer.
