The current state of affairs on Bway is seriously horrific. What the hell will it take for the tides to turn? Sigh."

Hopefully it’s just a “this season” thing. If we get less and less Bway musicalsfor years to come, I’d worry.

Or am I being too optimistic?"

You are not. It's one year of less

As the discussion about the lack of new musicals this season has continued, I feel like an under discussed factor is just how well so many long running shows are doing. Not just Wicked, Hamilton and Lion King. There are so many musicals doing solid numbers week after week and then popping big time on holiday weeks. Even ones that have seemed to be on death's door at times are capable of having super strong weeks. I feel like usually there's shows that are quite obviously reaching the

She certainly misplayed this for her career's sake because she could have just quietly dropped out as others have said and waited it out. But I also agree that she was probably starting to age out of ingénue roles and didn't have the chops for other roles.

But I will also say that I thought the character assassination went a little wild on her. She seemed to be mostly well-liked before this whole thing and I think the fact that she offered to constantly test, etc showed

Note that they only had 6 performances, so it’snot all that bad—the house being sold is full and $115 ATP."

The chart says 8 performances but was it only 6? Is that a typo? If yes, it makes things look a lot different.

Gatsby has been looking better again lately. Not sure why but it had a couple real

Every director has strengths and weaknesses. While Lear may not be the most inventive in terms of blocking, staging & stage pictures, I think the fact that this (to be fair, I haven't seen Ragtime yet but going on what I have read) and Into the Woods (which I did see with the original revival cast) have had such exceptional performances from the cast is no fluke. We have seen star-studded things underwhelm or even fall apart many times. She deserves credit for the cast being as good a

It's interesting how some shows crashed and burned while others held up just fine and it doesn't seem to totally line up with new vs. old or family/teen vs. not.

Time is ticking for Hell's Kitchen and Gatsby. I also know Six is cheap to run but I feel like it's gonna transfer Off Broadway sooner rather than later.

I kept thinking Netflix will keep Stranger Things running into the spring and possibly summer but I really don't know if it's worth keeping ope

Broadway has survived the Great Depression, wars, NYC's near-bankruptcy in the 70s, AIDS, 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, COVID, but, yeah, sure, let's call it based off of this week's grosses.

But can it survive the policies implemented by the second Trump administration
