Official: Jamie Lloyd's EVITA to open on Broadway in Spring 2027

I predict that Evita will re-coup. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/3/26
May 6 2026, 09:40:52 AM
Lots of blaming of Trump, gas prices, and Canadians in this thread. While that might be a small sliver of some issues. I really think it is because there is a bunch of BAD shows with BAD casts. Everyone is plugged into reviews online nowadays.
When you have a cast and a show the fans want, it is still selling. Harry Potter, Hadestown, Lion King, Hamilton, Oh Mary, Ragtme, Chicago, Rocky Horror, Every Brilliant Thing, ... good shows and selling well.&

Telecharge - 40% Spring Savings Sale Promotion
May 6 2026, 09:21:52 AM
JT2030 said: "Wow. I've *never* seen Telecharge promote such a major discount directly on their web site --- over a dozen Broadway and Off-Broadway shows for mostly every performance through the show's current on-sale dates, includingChess,Two Strangers,Maybe Happy Ending, TheOutsidersand more
https://www.telecharge.com/-- code is SPECIAL which I imagine they'd accept at a box office.
I'm generally as optimistic as possible, but this is not a good sign for the industry rn that Shubert is directly having a fire sale on so many shows.
EDIT: Sorry, it would've been more helpful if I just listed the shows:
Two Strangers (Carry a Cake)
Operation Mincemeat
Maybe Happy Ending
Beaches
Buena Vista Social Club
Joe Turner's Come and Gone
Chicago
The Outsiders
Chess
The Great Gatsby
Off-Broadway:
Jamie Allan's Amaze
Heathers
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Gazillion Bubble Show"
I wish Masquerade would do a discount. I am oddly interested in checking out this version of theater, but I am not sure I want to invest $400 for the two of us to roll the dice on it. Seeing mixed reviews with uneven performers and loud, piped in music, but others think it is the bees knees. I've not done a walk-thru experience like this one before and can't wrap my head around what that would be like, and if it could really be worth the $. .

 Ohh. Get the popcorn ready for this one! FUN drama. Film this for a BRAVO network show and get some ratings. Real housewives of Broadway stars....

"Leave no single seat" policy when booking
Apr 24 2026, 12:55:18 PM
I don't think some of you understand what the OP is saying. They are not stating you can't buy a single seat if you are solo. Of course that is allowed. What they are saying is it won't allow you to LEAVE a one seat gap between you and the next patron. So if Seat 1 and 2 are sold, and seats 3,4,5,6 are unsold. You can't purchase seats 4 and 5 and let set 3 by itself on an island. You MUST buy seats 3 and 4 so that 5 and 6 are toget

Kimberly Akimbo tour
Apr 24 2026, 12:46:42 PM
Selling terribly for it's stop in Baltimore this week. Aggressively trying to dump some tickets via Lucky Seat. If you enter, you'll certainly win. Had a co-worker put in 4 Lucky Seat chances with 2 email addresses for herself, two for her husband ... and they won all 4. Tons of seats still remain unsold, even after the Lucky Seat winners started to drop today. Zero buzz for this one. Solid subscription base in Baltimore and a solid following f

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/12/26

ElephantLoveMedley said: "Wow,Chicago is killing it these days."
I noticed that. I thought Chicago was trending to a closer, but they have gotten the ship back on course?!? Perhaps they are the benefactor of some really bad newer shows on Broadway right now ... tourists might pass on something like Beaches to see Chicago again, instead?

Outsiders Tour Cast vs. Broadway Cast?

I've seen the tour and the current Broadway cast... tour is head and shoulders better than current Broadway. Not even very close IMO.

Why are audiences so poorly behaved these days?
Mar 26 2026, 02:57:11 PM
Unclear if it was accidental or a focused step in noise reduction from the crowd, but they moved away from noisy bags of popcorn to the quieter thin cardboard boxes. Likewise, they added soft pretzels to the offerings, which is much more quiet than the bags of chips that seems to be constantly crackling at the start of Act 2 at most shows. It still amazes me that the audience can't hold off from housing 3,000 calories over the course of a 120 min show, but it is what it is ...

Hadestown West End Cast Recording
Mar 26 2026, 10:04:37 AM
Not recording related, but I really like the current Hades on the National tour, Nikolaus Colon. Deeper voice, darker and more sinister presentation than most... with a bit of wry cockiness. Smirks, chuckles... he really GETS the role.

Oh, easily will be able to re-coup $8 mil on the road. Musicals tend to make a much larger profit on the road than on Broadway.

It has not yet appeared on any of the releases thus far, but they have all been larger venues like Baltimore and Dallas. It has been an equity tour ... I could see a world where it drops to non-equity and starts hitting the smaller town venues?!? But nothing indicates that yet."
