akin to when Keri Russell and Meg Ryan introduced Waitress and She Loves Me, respectively.

Wicked performed on the 2014 telecast for their 10th anniversary. Could we see Aladdin perform for their 10th anniversary, or Disney paying for a slot to promote their 100th anniversary as a company? I kind of expected them to have The Lion King open last years ceremony to celebrate its 25th anniversary on Broadway, alas they didn’t.

Boy George?

BroadwayNYC2 said: "So everything’s closing. Got it."

I mean, its about par for the course. Lol. From the 2021-2022 only MJ remains. The 2022-2023 season only 2 shows remain, one of them already has a closing date. Realistically, one or two shows each season make it past one year. 

Press night is on Sunday, the 19th. Looks like they’re only selling tickets to the balcony, but that might change closer to the day.

Broadway Flash said: "Will the hotel promote Tammy Faye? I wonder if their guests get any perks like a discount or something"

Why would the hotel have anything to do with the show? There was a hotel attached to the Palace prior to it being lifted and I don’t believe they were provided with perks for the guests.

I’m suspecting the Tammy Faye musical to last six months to a year from 2024 to 2025. Afterwards, I think we can predict Disney will bring in the Beauty and the Beast revival tour for a three to 6 month run in the spring of 2026. By the time B&TB closes the Minskoff and the surrounding building will likely be ready for the casino redevelopment, so The Lion King will move over to the Palace.

I’m always curious about the production credits in the back of the playbill. I used to think that any time there was an “above the title” star they would list whoever the star dressers were. Is that not actually the case? I noticed that Cabaret doesn’t list a “star dresser” for neither Eddie nor Gayle, despite both being above the title. Conversely, Eva Noblezada and Jeremy Jordon are listed below the title for The Great Gatsby, but they both have their respective dressers listed. Where as, Merrily We Roll Along lists the dressers for all three of the above the title performers. 
 

So, I’m wondering is there no general rule of how productions have to credit dressers?

Are we surprised?

Took me a whole ass minute to realize the title didn’t stand for “non-applicable.” Lol, I felt so dumb.

A new play, N/A, is expected to start previews on 06/11/2024 and open on 06/23/2024 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center.

Summary:

“Emmy Award® winner Holland Taylor (The Practice, Ann) and Theatre World Award winner Ana Villafañe (On Your Feet) star as two congresswomen, generations apart. From Congressional aide, turned lobbyist, turned writer Mario Correa and Tony Award®-winning director Diane Paulus (Pippin, Jagged Little Pill) N/A is a limited engagement, world premiere play about power, politics, and the tumultuous path to progress.

N/A is a whip-smart battle of wills — and wits — between N, the first woman Speaker of the House, and A, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Inspired by real people and events, this riveting two-hander illuminates the most powerful woman in American history… and the once-in-a-generation political talent who defied her.”

I’m 25, so roughly the same age as the show and went to see Mamma Mia for the very first time in my life. The show just finished its first of 3 weeks, and it’s selling incredibly compared to Death Becomes Her down the street, here in Chicago.

I’ll keep my review short; Christine Sherrill is a vocal and acting powerhouse. I’d like to request someone to write an original tony award worthy role for her, immediately.

I’m getting War Paint vibes from the final number with the two ladies. Especially with the blue and pink contrasting colors. Gattelli was the choreographer on War Paint, so I’m sure it was in the back of his head when he was envisioning the number.

I would just think it would be whoever the highest bidder is, no?

Unless, of course, the Private Equity owners get tired of ATG and sell it for parts.

As a Broadway in Chicago patron, I would welcome an ATG takeover with open arms.
 

Also, I’m curious if the Shuberts would ever sell the Ambassador Theatre, as I feel like that’s an obvious want for ATG(lol, my sarcasm is not really showing here).

The Toys R Us mention threw me for a loop and then I saw the post was from 2008. That’s a throwback!

I’d much prefer Tina Landau direct this over Diane Paulus.

Interesting to see Universal is producing this one solo. Kind of taking the Disney approach. Is that a first for them? 

All “real” social media influencers would be working directly with shows and their marketing teams. I wouldn’t qualify who you are referring to as influencers. Even if they have large social media followings.
