Profile for Mr. Wormwood

Those elevators though...

I haven't watched this yet, I look forward to it. But just came on to say that if anyone from Playbill is reading this, keep doing these! Every single one is so interesting. I especially loved Christian Borle and David Hyde Pierce.

Purpose really had a nice run. It played well through the whole summer.

It was a solid week overall. Now for those post Labor Day grosses. Hope shows hold on well.

I feel like most shows, old and new, have been pretty steady this summer. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the calendar turns to September.

I don't love the toxic piling on here and other places but I do think this is different from the Beanie situation in that Beanie shouldn't have been put into the situation (or put herself in the situation) that she clearly wasn't up to no matter how hard she tried or how much work she put in. Whereas, Billy COULD be fine in this role and is not. I put much more blame on Billy's own choices than I did on Beanie.

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere and I missed it but will this be eligible for Tonys for Best Revival since it's sort of a "return engagement." I know it's same Director, Choreographer & Designers so they'd all be ineligible.

The one thing about any of these honorees turning it down is it may lead to even worse selections in the future like Kid Rock or Vince McMahon or Dean Cain or Scott Baio (I'm semi-joking about the last two, i hope). That would completely devalue that honor whereas as it stands now, it might still be salvageable when (if?) the Trump presidency comes to an end.

There's so much that's terrible about all of this but the list of honorees is not as bad as I thought it might be.

I would guess Hell's Kitchen is more expensive and it hasn't been doing quite as well so that doesn't shock me but The Outsiders has GOT to be close. It's been doing about as well as it could do for a long time now.

I hope this finds an audience but I think it's gonna be a tough sell especially at the flop house that is the Longacre.

There were some really fun videos posted by Broadway World and other outlets of the performance tonight and the party after. Seems like it would have been quite the fun place to be!

I wish John Proctor was continuing. It would be nice to see more open ended plays. Aside from Oh Mary, it's been very rare except for big franchises like HP and ST

Also I feel like JPITV would be a huge draw for school groups in the fall.

I don’t think so. I looked at the graph trend and it seems like itebbs and flows at a pretty steady rate, not really plummeting. I think the earliest they may wrap things up would be when the national tour launches, but with the lack of new musicals coming in (only QOV) and 3-4 revivals, the market could probably sustain HK staying open.

It does ebb and flow some but I always look at average ticket price as the best view of how a show is doing and it is among the lowest of all shows and most of its lowest weeks in that category have been this summer.

I think Hell's Kitchen's days are definitely numbered.

Great start for Mamma Mia, which is not surprising.

I heard he's taking over as Oliver in MHE in November 

I think that's a really thoughtful statement from Helen
