The extension will come with substantial pay raises for the cast now that the show is turning commercial.

PADDINGTON musical in the works with music by Tom Fletcher & book by Jessica Swale
 Nov 1 2025, 11:01:53 PM

Very adorable and initial reports are coming out very strong. This could be a massive hit. The movie Paddington 2 was notably the highest rated movie on rotten tomatoes when it came out in 2017 until 2021, when it received its first negative review. I expect the folks behind the franchise have been very careful to make sure the material is nothing but perfect.


Death Becomes Her - Non-Union Tour BS
 Oct 30 2025, 02:15:23 PM

What financial trickery did the producers do in order to get this approved? James M. Nederlander and the John Gore Organization are both listed co-producers of the Broadway production and own/operate some of the largest touring markets in the country, so they have a clear conflict of interest to get the show on the lowest tier as possible. It’s clear the lead producer, Universal, and the aforementioned presenters manipulated the projected numbers the tour would make in order to giv


The Outsiders Tour Contract - Where is the outrage?

Death Becomes Her the highest grossing musical from last season, making an average of 1.25 million dollars per week, will be using a level 5 contract when it launches its national tour next season...

DREAMGIRLS is finally returning to Broadway

Right, let’s be real, anything Camille does to this show will be a thousand times better than that travesty that was directed by Casey Nicholaw. Female directors, especially of color, often do not get a fair shot when compared to th


2026-2027 Season Tour Launches

Yeah, of the cohorts of ABN, the Some Like It Hot and Shucked tours also close after the current season. I’m not sure if either has plans of launching a non-equity production. & Juliet I’m pretty sure has another year in it. Back to the FutureMJMoulin Rouge, and Six are also expected to wrap up this season.


2026-2027 Season Tour Launches
 Oct 21 2025, 09:05:15 AM

Announced/Teased:

Boop! The Musical

Buena Vista Social Club

Death Becomes Her

Maybe Happy Ending

Operation Mincemeat


The current tour of Les Miserables is expected to close this summer in Boston to make way for the Arena production to launch in the US. Out of the aforementioned titles there’s really only one relatively known name to audiences, Death Becomes Her. With that being said, touring presenters will be eager for an additional title with a well known IP. I suspect Cam Mac and Disney may remount a touring production of Mary Poppins in the states next season. I can’t really think of well known IPs that will be ready to tour in time for next season. The UK tour of the show closes in early 2026, which gives them time to pack up the production and ship to the US for a fall opening in Providence or Baltimore.


Hunger Games – London 2024

Anyone attend the first preview? So far the initial reactions make the show sound  dreadful; on top of the crappy show the lobby spaces of the theatre are still under construction.

I don’t know why, but I feel like Patti Murin would be a great Helen opposite Betsy’s Madeline.


New WICKED Cast Replacements this month and next?
 Oct 20 2025, 06:11:50 PM

I’m pretty sure they’re prepping Keri Rene Fuller to replace Lencia, but I do hope they hire a WOC as an understudy or standby to allow them to grow through the ranks.


Whatever happened to Katrina Lenk?
 Oct 20 2025, 09:05:48 AM

I got the sense that while all previous incarnations of Company were built around the Bobby that this version of the show was more about the supporting characters, Joanne in particular. I’d love to see her as a Viola replacement in Death Becomes Her! Whatever potion she’s using, it’s working!


I really hope Jessie Mueller comes back to Broadway. I know she was involved with a reading or two for the Thelma & Louise musi


How do Broadway actors leave the theatre when they skip the Stagedoor?
 Oct 18 2025, 10:17:43 AM

when the security guard tells everyone that the actors have all gone home.
That just means security has timed out. 
 

I believe that whole collection of theatres between 44th and 45th are connected via outdoor gangways. It’s possible for someone to enter through The Shubert and exit through The Golden.


Beloved ‘Hamilton’ wardrobe stylist fired from show after beating stage 3 cancer, lawsuit says
 Oct 17 2025, 10:27:03 AM

the decision coincided with a new actor joining the show whose contract required a dresser to work eight shows per week, and that reasonable alternatives were proposed but not adopted.

Considering Leslie Odom Jr. is the reason Mark was brought on to Hamilton in the first place, I’m shocked he didn’t work with the show and adjust his contract to allow Mark to continuing working.

Mr. Wolf at Steppenwolf in Chicago
 Oct 10 2025, 09:13:20 AM

I attended the Thursday evening performance of Mr. Wolf at Steppenwolf Theatre, and it was one of the most gripping plays I’ve seen. The story is intense touching on themes like death, kidnapping, and suicide and it unfolds with a quiet tension that never really lets go. Without giving too much away, the play centers on a 15-year-old girl who has just been returned home after spending 12 years in captivity.

The writing is sharp and haunting, but what truly stood out to me were th
