If you’re seeing Sherie tonight, I’m curious to know if she has her own playbill with her above the title or if it’s just an understudy slip.

Kevin McCollum always plays the long game with his shows. He’ll keep this going, even at a loss, just in the hopes of scoring some Tony noms and wins. 

Paul Wontorek certainly has a take… talk about being tone deaf

Usually but not always. The current 1st national tour of Water For Elephants is non-equity.

I feel like the stop clause was used here… Bill Damaschke is a deep pocketed producer and would’ve kept it running through, at least, the Tony nominations.

I recently received a playbill from the LA run of the show and I noticed that Warner Bros Theatre Ventures was an above the title producer. They were not credited during the Chicago engagement and browsing through the programs of engagements of the show since LA they have not retained a producers credit. Anyone have info on what this relationship between the original producers and Warner Bros entailed and why they received a producers credit for LA, but not for any other engagements?

I thought Austin Butler was eyeing a Carousel film remake. I think Corenswet would be more suited for Harold Hill than Billy Bigelow

Instead of Wicked: For Good they should’ve titled it Wicked: Plot Holes

Can the stage show reincorporate the entire Wonderful number and dance? The movie made me miss that moment when The Wizard and Elphaba dance around the Wizard’s head.

Can we finally get Michelle Federer, Idina Menzel, and Chris Fitzgerald back in the recording studio to add the Wicked Witch of the East to the OBCR?

Shaina Taub posted to instagram the heartbreaking reason why she’s temporarily leaving the show. Here’s a link to the post incase anyone would like to read it.

The show already had its opening night and is presumed to be frozen. Unless the show makes changes for an NY transfer(I doubt it) don’t expect it to be any different from what reviews are saying.

I don't see why not..."

I hope not - I think he's kind of smarmy. I know he could sing it - but has he even acted before?"

From what I’ve gathered this role/show doesn’t require that much acting

I wonder what Laura thinks of the New York Post now. It’s also interesting her initial concerns against getting the vaccine were for wanting to have kids… 

Is it too late to move The 2026 Tony Awards off of CBS? I don’t want to see Bari Weiss handing Laura Osnes a lifetime achievement award.

The 2025-2026 Non-equity tour of Kinky Boots has suddenly removed Justin Woody (aka Onya Nurve) as Lola. The role will now be played by Omari Collins (aka Scarlett D. Von’Du). Onya Nurve is a drag superstar and won the 17th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. This will be Omari’s 7th production of Kinky Boots and they were initially cast as a Lola understudy.

The tour launches performances this coming Wednesday, November 19th in Elmira, NY.

Harry Potter was not a flop, it didn’t operate like your typical Australian production that tend to do 3-6 months in each city; instead it did a sit down in a single city, Melbourne. It ran for 4 years, minus 1 for the pandemic.
