Until Phantom closed the Shuberts really only had one “barn” that they needed to worry about filling. The Broadway is difficult to fill; maybe Great Gatsby is breaking that curse, but I believe the most recent musical to recoup there was Cinderella? Now that the Majestic is open they have two barns to fill and I imagine most shows would prefer playing the neighboring Shubert Theatre.

To be fair current theatre teens are only obsessed with Hadestown or The Outsiders and the last show Benanti appeared in on Broadway (not counting her cameos in Freestyle Love Supreme and Gutenberg) was as a replacement in My Fair Lady which was pre pandemic. They likely wouldn’t know her, unless their school was performing She Loves Me. 

We desperately need her back on Broadway, though. I could be wrong, but is

I mean, writing it off as something you “grow out of at 12” kind of ignores what Team America: World Police is actually doing. It’s not just crude for the sake of it, it’s deliberately over-the-top to satirize American foreign policy and the post-9/11 culture around it. You don’t have to like that style of comedy, but there’s a reason Matt Stone and Trey Parker are still relevant.

Team America: World Police, which is literally a satire that takes aim at the post-9/11 mindset and American interventionism. The whole point of that movie is to be over-the-top and uncomfortable to expose how absurd a lot of that rhetoric was.

Using that as a profile picture isn’t an endorsement of anything offensive, it’s referencing a piece of comedy that critiques the very systems and attitudes you’re implying I support. If anything, it signals the opposi

That’s fair, the wording could’ve been clearer. But also, expecting a fully contextualized and perfectly tactful question on a BroadwayWorld message board is kind of beyond the scope of what this space is. We’re not writing research papers or publishing medical analyses, it was just a quick, off-the-cuff question out of curiosity.

The intent wasn’t to be insensitive, just to ask something specific and see if anyone knew the answer or had insight. Not every post

That feels like a pretty extreme reaction to a simple question. I wasn’t trying to be offensive or “psychotic,” just curious about something specific. People ask niche or historical questions about Broadway all the time, and this one comes from a place of recognizing recovery and resilience after a serious injury. If anything, it highlights how far medical care and performers’ ability to return to demanding work have come. Not every question needs to be taken in the wo
