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.

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.

Can’t imagine anything worse.

John Adams said: "Yes, but WILL "The Fantasticks" be considered a revival?

"

Yes. It is a 66-year-old musical.

Why do you care? Are they buying the tickets you were trying to buy? Let people enjoy things.

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.
