Sondheimite rocks. So much. Which is why it's frustrating to see him be the one scapegoated on the tweet that's now circulating.

I stated on here—twice—that I believe Murin's wonderful standby is delivering a superior performance as Anna. Both posts were subsequently deleted. Neither of them addressed mental health in the slightest.
Mods, if ^this^ gets deleted, then there's clearly more happening behind the scenes than you say.

Mods, I will be disappointed (but not surprised) if this inquiry gets deleted. There is no "inappropriate" discussion or "slander" in the above post. It is a genuine question.

Seems mildly inappropriate for a Christmas show.

Must see shows? Dec 8
2018, 10:54:27 PM
Of everything that's opened this season so far, The Ferryman is easily the #1 must-see piece of theatre. Followed by The Waverly Gallery, Mockingbird, and Torch Song.
As for the spring, we won't know how things are until they arrive, but it seems like the most buzz is behind Hadestown and Tootsie, with a big question mark behind the revival of Kiss Me, Kate.&

I was gonna go, but the TDF ticket price of $49 exceeded the $0.01 I was willing to spend on this. Oh well.

Upcoming Waitress cast replacements? Dec 7

I'm always happy when Gavin gets booked! But this show is such a bore, I can't bring myself back to the Atkinson for it again (and I went back for Nicolette, who I thought was lovely).

THE PROM Previews Dec 7

The next few weeks will be most telling for their run. They definitely got a bit of a bump with largely positive reviews and exposure on the Macy's Thanksgiving telecast. However, their "bump" is only getting them to the mid-$500k range, which is still less than ideal for a big, new Broadway musical. It could well make it to June, but I wouldn't be surprised if they cut their losses and close mid-winter.

It is a great list.
I will be very disappointed if The Band's Visit loses to Jesus Christ Superstar.

I saw this a few weeks ago and totally forgot to comment on it! I am in agreement with bwayphreak234. I found it completely middling and just okay. Nothing is outright bad about it; it just feels circular and repetitive. Like, I got the point of the play 10 minutes into it. The performances are all fine, but yes, not must-see theatre by any stretch. The definition of a middle-of-the-road play.

amNY is positive, giving 4 out of 4 stars. It "flashes by as quickly as one of the commercials running on one of the countless screens in the background."

Brantley's rave for the London production in November 2017: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/14/theater/network-review-bryan-cranston-national-theater.html
Brantley for the New York Times on the Broadway production is positive. Critic's Pick seal. A full-on love letter for Cranston, who is "all but flaying the skin off his body."
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/06/theater/network-review-bryan-cranston.html
Worth noting that Brantley doesn't so much adore everything else: "If the bravura dementia of his Howard makes much of the rest of the show seem as two-dimensional as a flat TV screen, it’s a trade-off I’m willing to accept, albeit with a sigh."

Just "fall 2019." Again, I don't think anything is ever set in stone until we get a first preview or opening night date and/or a theater!

Terry Teachout for the Wall Street Journal is negative. He says everything surrounding Bryan Cranston has the "unintended effect of turning Network into a one-man show." "If you’re willing to pay Broadway prices to see Mr. Cranston give a tremendous performance, there’s a chance you’ll go home happy. Otherwise, you might as well rent the movie." Also disliked Maslany.
