My wariness of this coming in from a producing perspective aside - which, truly, is none of my business at the end of the day since I’m a guaranteed audience for them - I don’t have any doubts about its Tony prospects. Depending on the rest of the casting, it could easily get nominations for:

I don’t see anyone saying the St. James should stay empty. All I see is people questioning why an Off-Broadway show that already lost its steam in its original run would move uptown to a theater almost 6 times its size. We can question producer thinking while also being happy a theater is being occupied and that people are being employed.

I’m excited to finally get the chance. I’ve seen 5 different Celines in total, but never Marla (the two times I went before her first departure, she was out). Lauren Drew and Jackie Burns have been my favorites, with Cayleigh Capaldi getting some love for sounding the closest to Celine’s actual voice.

Well, this is… a choice. I’ll be there, don’t get me wrong, but I’m glad it’s not my investment.

Glad this thread was resurfaced so I could add my praise for Lucas Hnath’s The Thin Place at Playwrights Horizons back in 2019. Its suspense came late in the play and knocked me completely sideways, and I think about it almost every day. I’ve never experienced anything like it in a theater.

Thank you! Like, literally look at the device you are typing these messages from. I’m all for putting your money where you want, but my god.

Seaview needs to stick to celebrity-led plays. Their track record of produced musicals is pretty abysmal: Illinoise, Lempicka, Queen of Versailles, Once Upon a Mattress, The Last Five Years. All flops; financially, critically, or both.

I know I saw this in its original run, but I can’t remember a single thing about it other than that it was surprisingly raunchy and that Reed Birney was on an absolute tear Off-Broadway at that time. I didn’t even remember William Jackson Harper was in it, or that it was directed by Anne Kauffman.

Do we know, for sure, that they’re releasing a cast recording? I’d be so sad if they didn’t. I know The Public has usually been pretty good about recording their original musicals, but I haven’t seen anything about this one yet.

Truly LOLing at anyone who thinks this will ruin his career or reputation. It’s only slightly more pills than he would probably bring to the club to share with friends. Anyone in his circle knows he does drugs and probably appreciates when he shows up to the party with his Birkin full of party favors. Dude’s a dummy, but he’s ultimately going to be just fine (and write a terrible “play” about it).

The one thing Titanique has going for it potentially playing in a house that large is that Celine Dion’s songs absolutely go off. If they added a couple more members of the band and snagged a killer Celine (or even a Ruth), the music would hit and I don’t think any of the humor would be lost in a Broadway house. It played even better on the West End than Off-Broadway, for me, so I wouldn’t be mad at a Broadway run. Confused, sure, but not mad.

I grabbed a ticket for tonight’s show based on word of mouth here and from a few friends and, I gotta say, it did not hit with me. Maybe it’s because I lived through four years of college and professors offering up their own individual brands of egomania and casual abuse, followed by nearly a decade of directors doing the same, but I found little of the tension and discomfort others have cited. Masturbatory and self-aware is still masturbatory at the end of the day.

Yes. Just more AI clickbait. For one, Brits don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, so there’s that.

This is exactly why this show flopped. If the actual producers of this show had any sense, Jackie herself would have been kept far, far away from it. Instead, she’s promoting it like it’s the Dolly musical. Barf.
