Swept away stage door
 Oct 27 2024, 01:51:45 AM

Hello.  I’m curious if anyone has attended Swept Away and if John Gallagher Jr stage doored after the show. One of my theatre friends is going next month and was curious. Thanks 


Good Night, Good Luck. George Clooney Spring 2025
 Oct 25 2024, 10:04:08 AM

I’m guessing the show will be announced next for Winter Garden opening end of April.  Thoughts if he alone could actually sell out the theatre for a run? 


New Cabaret casting spring 2025?
 Oct 21 2024, 09:31:08 PM

Any word or rumblings on who will replace Adam Lambert in the spring? I had heard his contract expires around March 23. I’m wondering if we could see a return of Eddie Redmayne for a brief 6-8 week stint. Or if they would be looking at someone else.  I’m curious who they would consider - especially given the fact that this show seems to require a real name to sell.  
I would of course love to see TImothee Chalamet as the emcee. Or Austin Butler.  Even just to c


In NYC next week, what should I see?
 Oct 19 2024, 04:42:03 PM

SUFFS was terrible in my opinion 

I’d suggest sunset Blvd and  swept away


Stage door age limits
 Oct 15 2024, 10:22:50 AM

Well since it was an honest conversation he wasn’t really taken aback by my comment.  I guess my question came from see people like the one guy some had mentioned and some people feel that they’ve become “friends” with this Hollywood actor because they met them. And then having them sign merchandise from series or IP.  But I just wondered if there was ever an age limit even in the actors mind where they are like oh man.  
For me, generally speaking


Stage door age limits
 Oct 14 2024, 10:45:03 PM

Was chatting with someone nearing 40 who was hoping to head down to see Jake Gyllenhaal this winter and was hoping to stage door.  Off the cuff I had made a comment about them having “aged out” of stage dooring. I’m curious peoples view? Do you consider there to be an age limit? Or  is it looked weird at some age? 
Truly I have not stage doored in a number of years but I don’t know that would never stage door again dependent if I really hoped to see


Swept Away buzz
 Oct 7 2024, 05:58:16 PM

I’m in town first week in April. Any chance we see this show surviving till then?  I was really hoping to see it along with The Outsiders, Old Friends, Sunset Blvd. 


Webbers next musical
 Oct 1 2024, 05:16:46 PM

With news that Andrew Lloyd Webber will premiere his newest musical in 2026 and that it will be based off a movie. Are we thinking it’ll be Sherlock Holmes. Or something else?  Thoughts? 


Scherzinger in SUNSET BLVD. Previews

Are they setting Tom Francis up to be a heartthrob? Like is it that sexually charged?  Or is it just about him walking around in his boxers and blood?


Rosie ODonnell Mamma Mia?
 Sep 27 2024, 11:02:59 AM

Was Rosie O’Donnell supposed to be in the OBC of Mamma Mia?  What happened to that? I was watching a video where she was playing coy in an old Rosie ODonnell show episode. I was curious if anyone had some inside information what happened?  I’m assuming she was being considered for the role Judy Kaye was cast in

I already miss the phantom as a tenant. 


What shows did Kristin Chenoweth turn down to do Queen of Versailles?
 Aug 26 2024, 05:38:00 AM

Yea the capital has been raised. It’s a later on in 2025 opening on Broadway ( think like summer/September/October) it’s left out of this season for fear of competing with idina and Audra 


What shows did Kristin Chenoweth turn down to do Queen of Versailles?
 Aug 25 2024, 10:57:02 PM

Well I’m curious about Hello, I’m Dolly. If she was/is attached I mean she could easily do this and then that in 2026. 


I Feel Like Disney Might Not Do Shows On Broadway Anymore
 Aug 22 2024, 09:25:37 AM

We really missed out on them not bringing hunchback to Broadway that was an incredible production.  I hope Hercules makes its way to Broadway as well as Pocahontas. My hope as well is that they start investing in first rate revivals of beauty and the beast and AiDa.  As well as a reworking of Tarzan 


Shows for March 2025?
 Aug 18 2024, 07:56:27 PM

I’d recommend Cabaret (though I don’t know what the new cast will be like) 

But also if you’ve never seen Bernadette Peters live I’d suggest Old Friends.  And the Swepy Away.  the Outsiders and sunset Blvd. 


Broadway adaptation of Greatest Showman film musical
 Aug 11 2024, 11:01:56 PM

Maybe jermey jordan will get his time with the greatest showman now

honestly though I’d love:

cheyenne Jackson - p t barnum

 Philip carlye - Isaac Powell or Jeremy jordan (just realizing it’s like a Gatsby casting) 

anne wheeler - Eva noblezada

lettke lutz - keala settle reprising

charity Barnum - Sherie Rene Scott 

jenny Lind- Caisse levy or Heather Headley 


November trip
 Aug 9 2024, 01:20:49 PM

Mine would be swept away and sunset Blvd 


Highest male vocal roles
 Aug 3 2024, 11:26:23 AM

Curious what some of the highest male roles are in terms of sustaining throughout the show and for 8 shows a week
I’m just guessing Judas and Jesus (JCS) would be up there.  
Elder Price ? (BoM)

 


Bernadette Peters agenda
 Aug 2 2024, 08:06:07 PM

Mrs Lovett would definitely add another layer to her character.  Imagine her almost a groomer for Mr Todd.  It throws in a bit of 50 shades reversal.  Which is still within the wheelhouse of Sweeney Todd.  
 

Anything to have her as Mrs Lovett. (Wished they had extended the latest revival once one with her even through the summer). 
 

I’m so very excited to see her in Old Friends 


Bette Midler - Mame?
 Jul 31 2024, 10:26:38 AM

Thoughts? Will some producer jump on it and make it happen? I know back 6-7 years ago talk was that Scott Rudin was wanting to produce with Cher.
