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

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.

A smaller venue might benefit it, and CITS would provide the intimacy, but it's a large cast and it would hard to justify the Broadway costs in a small venue. I suppose the main question would be what to do with the band, but I think they could still have a similar set up in a pro

I largely thought this was wonderful. Ethan Lipton nails the sincerely strange and strangely sincere tone of Thornton Wilder’s play, with the added layer of musical theatre on top of the existing metatheatricality making the whole piece feel fresh. It’s far from perfect - it’s an oddball adaptation of an odd play - but, by opening, I think it’ll be in excellent shape.

Micaela Diamond, Ruthie Ann Miles, and Ally Bonino absolutely devour this sh

Or maybe we just have reservations about her handling the material, based on her résumé…?"

Maybe. But something tells me we wouldn’t be having the same discussion if, f

Also loved this just as much at Signature the other day as I did back at Ars Nova/Barrow Street. It’s meticulously constructed and deeply (sometimes overwhelmingly) intelligent, but it never feels stuffy or cold. Instead, it’s all catharsis and beauty. Desperately hoping we get a cast recording out of this run.

There was almost an entire row empty when I saw it, so definitely give their cancellation line a shot if you’re looking to get tickets (starts one hour bef

Doesn’t everyone need a paycheck?

I know we crap on the state of this production around these parts for fun, but while it could use a good shaking off in the breeze, a number of recent replacements (Jinkx Monsoon, Pamela Anderson, Robyn Hurder) have proven that the show still has juice and can really light up with the right performers in place. Kate Baldwin is perhaps a more qualified-than-usual singer/actress than we’ve come to expect in the part, bu
