The Heart sounds like the most interesting project listed but Tulipa and After Peter sound promising too. Sadly, I'm not going to be around in August.

Dual Casts in WHAT BECAME OF US at Atlantic, Starring Tony Shalhoub & BD Wong May 3

Was anyone able to get an Access 25 ticket? I don't know if they held any back. Maybe it was already too well sold. I didn't see a single one.

Is anyone planning on seeing this? It seems like What Became of Us is selling much better.

Now that's some cute merch. I do like the pins and the fact they aren't afraid of graphics but the font also elevates the text-based stuff. It looks better than all the basic text merch that's so popular because it feels like there's some design to it.

Newsies came to Broadway as a limited run and ended up running for over 2 years. That's a decent run."
Sure, that's decent. I wasn't trying to slight Newsies but responding to this comment "the only one I really see having staying power is The Outsiders. It kind of is building that newsies fan base"

His role was absolutely not a minor one"
Conrad was purely noble; Jose was solely villainous. Arielle was the only one who really had something to play. Imelda carries that show.
I feel worse for Chip Zien who should have gotten a nomination for Caroline.
How many shows does Paul Alexander Nolan have to be in befo

I don't think The Notebook was being powered by critical praise to begin with. Once some of the other musicals fall away, it could be the sentimental romantic sho

Feel stressed when arriving to the theatre? Apr 25

JSquared2 said: "You appear to have solved your own problem. Don't arrive an hour early -- everyone has an assigned seat -- it's not first come, first served. There is no reason to be there "early". Opening the house earlier isn't an option as it triggers overtime pay for every single department."
Well, one reason to get there early is that some people are furious with you if they have to get up to allow you to get to your seat. I still rarely g

It's not that much worse than Dress Circle if you have binoculars. But don't go with the extreme sides; they're marked partial for a reason.

I always look forward to your opinions. I'm hoping it's a fun night out for you but I'll enjoy reading your thoughts regardless.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/7/24 Apr 11

MayAudraBlessYou2 said: "But now, if I list that far in advance on multiple services...full price sales seem to dry up and it feels impossible to move inventory. Yet, if I don't list on papering services, that house that needs a boost often suddenly fills up at full price just 2 days before the show. So for papering we have pivoted to very last minute listings, usually the day or 2 prior. AND we experimented with lowering the sales threshold which activates dynamic pricing. Low a

I feel differently. As long as it's not a limited run, I assume high ticket prices means demand is too high and I would do better waiting for more availability and better deals in the future. Whereas low grosses means you have to rush to see t

cdf1983 said: "I’m curious… why does that confuse you and how is it a big departure from the book?"
Gatsby is supposed to be young but he has to pass for someone who has lived a lot of lives... farmer, sailor, soldier, bootlegger. It's been years since I've read the book though and the only physical description I can find with a quick google is "His tanned skin was drawn attractively tight on his face and his short hair looked as though it w

If true, Isaac Powell is the casting that confuses me. That's a really big departure from the book.

Patti LuPone- A Life With Notes - Concert Tour thread Apr 9
2024, 03:16:38 PM
With my expectations appropriately calibrated, I mostly had a good time. I wasn't expecting all showstopping numbers so I could enjoy the varied program and the moments she took to thrill the audience. I do think there was too much singing... in the sense that she could have included more patter and sung fewer, more challenging songs. It also didn't feel like she had a chance to "act" most of the songs because of the relentless jukebox pace of most of the evening. Bridget Ev

Next time: allow non-Tony winners like WEST SIDE STORY and FOLLIES. Allow shows dating back to at least OKLAHOMA. (Apologies toSHOWBOAT, ANYTHING GOES and PORGY & BESS.) And somehow the matchups need to mix decades more liberally. And you know what? I bet HAMILTON

Except that's not true. Most recent statistics from the FBI show that violent crime is down. The fearmongering is what makes it seem the violent crime is up. We know about the random punching because of Tiktok. We know about these incidents because they are Broadway celebrities. These things happened before Tiktok we just didn't hear about them in the same way. They weren
