This is what I thought as well


“Roundabout Warns Studio 54 Could Close”

Why should Roundabout get to control and profit off the Sondheim when they haven't produced a show there in almost 15 years?"

Of all the weird bootlicking things posted on here... this is one of the weirder ones.

Remember "Give the Tonys back to broadway [from Hollywood]!!" 2010

I remember for a while there, part of the conversation for Best Musical was always what will tour better, especially in the South


Rumor: BEACHES opening at the Majestic this season

What I don’t understand is that I have not heard “Wind Beneath My Wings” in that Calgary clip or mentioned anywhere. Isn’t that chart topper in this musical? Why the hell not lead with that?"

I believe in the NYT article is says "Wind Beneath my Wings" is in the show. If indeed it isn't, I'm sure


Remember "Give the Tonys back to broadway [from Hollywood]!!" 2010
 Dec 16 2025, 09:12:50 AM

I remember a few things from that year. As a frequent viewer of CUNY TV's Theater Talk (even to this day I rewatch episodes), there was a complaint that there were so many stars on Broadway, but then the next season they wondered where are all the stars were. 

2010 was also an incredibly lean year, at least in my opinion. Coming off of 2009, which had some really high points. I remember too Jen Cody (Foster's wife) being vocal, and there being a feeling that they were maki


What revivals were flops but then later revivals become hits?

You must have never invested money on anything if you think this is unclear.

Tell someone who have lost millions in an investment that you disagree their business flopped but at least they had a good time.

On a financial level, something like Ragt


What revivals were flops but then later revivals become hits?
 Dec 9 2025, 08:40:59 AM

There is the age-old question of defining a flop and a hit. I would strongly disagree that Ragtime was a flop, but to each their own. 

Merrily We Roll Along, to a certain point Follies (the 2012 revival was the first Sondheim show to gross over a million dollars in one week), the 1990's revival of She Loves Me ran longer that the original production by 52 performances.


LMM: "Sondheim has Bernadette. Kander has Liza. I have Mandy G.."
 Dec 4 2025, 08:29:09 AM

I agree with Lin and his statement. If I were to split hairs though, I would say Kander has Chita, Ebb has Liza. Liza has said many times that it was Fred Ebb that created the "Liza" we know and love. He directed and wrote many of her concerts, and both John and Fred wrote specialty material for her over the years, and I know the bond between Fred and Liza was extraordinary. 


Paradise Road Cast Recording

The composer "leaked" some of the cast recording tracks on his website, I believe.


Jinx Monsoon to play Judy Garland in London production of END OF THE RAINBOW
 Nov 26 2025, 11:07:58 AM

Brody, its funny you say that about Tracie Bennett. I thought to myself this is the closes that I will ever get to seeing Judy Garland live. Jinx defiantly I think will bring a great sense of strength and dignity to the acting scenes, but I can see it being more camp during the songs. 

I know its not the most accurate play, but I will say when I saw the show, I was begging Judy/Tracie to go with Michael Cumpsty, and hopefully she would still be with us...the power of emotiona


Universal's WICKED Films - News & Discussion Thread

Honestly, if I ever won the Powerball, this is something I have always wanted to do. I hoped maybe for the 20th anniversary, but he's hoping for the 25! I would also record all the cut songs, because I listen to the "Yellow Brick Road Not Taken" recording I found online years ago ever


New Playbill Homepage
 Nov 21 2025, 11:26:50 AM

It is awful!

They layout is horrendious. Huge pictures, but also so many large gaps of white. 

Don't get me started on their Facebook posts. You have no idea how many times I see something on a Saturday afternoon that is a repost of something from early in the week that they are treating as a new item and I question my sanity as I try to figure out why I feel like I already know this information

Get ready to see Whitney as Roxie Hart after Kate Baldwin! I know nothing, but I feel like this is going to happen.


What's going into the James Earl Jones after Liberation?
 Nov 4 2025, 09:00:20 AM

I saw Just for One Day in Toronto in January. As someone who was not alive during Live Aid, I didn't have an emotional connection to the subject matter the way many others in the theatre did. I thought the staging of the cast on the bleachers was interesting, and the performance of Craige Els as Bob Geldof makes you exhausted when you think he does that twice on Saturday. But, there comes a point where they turn the last quarter into remaking the concert, which has me looking at my watch


Will The Lost Boys Break Broadway's Vampire Musical Curse?

To answer the article's question: no.

However, Lestat was recorded, but Elton is keeping it locked away. It gets leaked online every once in a while.

Do what I do: pay the for the Discord, and get the info before it comes out, instead of being a bitter old man. Because let's not forgot how many bait and switches people used to do on here.

Broadway shows are picking Baltimore to launch national tours. Here’s why.

I know NY state has similar things. Many tours launch from Buffalo too. I believe Rhode Island has something too, as Providence has launched a lot too.

Bart Sher doesn't scream jukebox musical to me, tbh


THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES with Kristin Chenoweth
 Sep 30 2025, 08:33:37 AM

I've said this elsewhere, but as someone who saw the Boston run, I really enjoyed this show, despite it being imperfect.

The final moments of Jackie standing in the completed foyer of the house, alone is impactful. It shows that the money can't buy everything, and it reminds me of the great lyric in "Thank Goodness" from Wicked: "Because getting your dreams, it's strange but it seems a little complicated. There's a kind of, sort of cost. A couple of thing
