BEACHES The Musical (or, musicals that replaced the composer & score)
 Mar 22 2025, 12:00:51 AM

The continued development of this and Bull Durham is just so funny to me. They’ll have to give up at some point, right? I’d love to see someone give another crack at First Wives Club, though. I thought it’s Chicago tryout was almost good. 


BOOP! Previews

Jasmine is spectacular, but I fault direction and book here.There's no central story. Boop has like three separatemajor plots, so the focus is all over the place. Jerry's choreography and tricks feel very recycled from previous shows. Sadly this was a miss for me."

I really liked

Kaleigh Cronin finally got her 2nd act Madeline Ashton gown!


Trump Wants to Host Awards, include businessmen and politicians as winners

I’m kind of shocked Actors Equity still hasn’t made a statement about his comments regarding equity performers.


2025 - 2026 Touring Season

Broadway in Chicago splits their subscription series between the fall/winter and spring/summer and they’re usually announced separately. 


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/16/25
 Mar 18 2025, 01:24:48 PM

If Goodnight, And Good Luck makes that much with only 5 performances I’m terrified to see how much it’ll make with a full 8 show schedule.


DEATH BECOMES HER Reviews

Apparently Dee Roscioli mentioned at her final performance as Celine Dion in Titanique she was joining Death Becomes Her as standby for the lead roles. Can anyone else confirm?


2025 - 2026 Touring Season

I was really looking forward to the trial run of Moneybag Trumpets; I’m sad to see it’s been cancelled


Trump Awards

Zeppie2022 said: "Wrong. I expected the audience to not boo and maybe show their displeasure at what has happened by being silent when Vance and his wife arrived. Instead of applause, silence would have sent message in a classier way but what do I know -lol"

Oprah once said, “were you silent, or were you silenced?” I’d rather be silenced.  


Broadway Alaska Pausing Operations
 Mar 17 2025, 08:57:38 PM

The touring presenter at the Alaska Center for the Performing arts, Broadway Alaska, announced it will be pausing operations. This has affected upcoming engagements of Tina and The Lion King. A recent engagement of Beetlejuice had to cancel a performance due to transportation issues. I imagine Trumps tariff war with Canada is one of the factors causing this decision. 


Tracy Letts & David Cromer collaborating on James Taylor musical
 Mar 17 2025, 05:53:18 PM

With Nederlander producing and the two having the Steppenwolf connection this will probably premiere with Broadway in Chicago.

No, worse. PlutoTV


THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES with Kristin Chenowith & F. Murray Abraham to open at St. James in November
 Mar 10 2025, 11:16:40 AM

I trust Michael Arden can turn this show around.


The Outsiders
 Mar 7 2025, 05:24:28 PM

So, what you’re saying is we should expect an announcement in a couple weeks Mandy Patinkin will be replacing Grayson?


2025 - 2026 Touring Season

They tend to use the Dolby when there is a long sit down run playing the Pantages, like Harry Potter is currently. 
The Pantages, arguably, has more of a historic connection to the film industry. It also hosted the Academy Awards from 1949 to 1959.

Rich Grenell complaining about programming not making money like that’s how non-profits are supposed to work. You offset the costs with donations and funding from outside sources. 


Roundabout To Revive ROCKY HORROR

Do you know who? This seems like a project ATG would attach themselves to.

Curious if there are any commercial co producers on this. 


Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center
 Mar 6 2025, 09:42:01 AM

What I’m worried about is what if the Kennedy Center cancels these show last minute where they know they can’t rebook another venue? They already did it to Eureka Day and they could do it to Parade. I’m sure Parade is in a much different spot than Hamilton where the latter can afford to cancel and the former cannot, but the risk of the show being cancelled is still there.

The building itself is owned by the NPS, but the theatre company is independent. So, it’s not like Trump install himself as the chairman.
