OUR TOWN Previews
 Sep 18 2024, 11:44:42 AM

Was at the first preview last night. Show ran pretty smoothly and at a quick pace. Begins with cast members coming through the audience all whispering the same prayer in different languages. Some in modern dress, others in period clothing. It's been awhile since I've read the text (lacking true familiarity) but it felt like there were clear excisions, and I would be interested to know what was cut/why. They provided a hardcopy of the play for all of us as a first preview gif

Oh, okay, that makes sense! Thank you both.

Given that Redmayne isn't performing on Monday evenings, will he not be in the first preview?

Pre-Broadway sell outs that flopped on Broadway
 Nov 12 2023, 03:05:10 PM

Des McAnuff's Jesus Christ Superstar played/extended to sold out shows at the Stratford Festival/had acclaim at La Jolla but definitely didn't translate on Broadway — save for Josh Young's performance, eventual Tony nom. 


SLEEP NO MORE to close in January after 5000 performances
 Nov 8 2023, 06:07:07 PM

There's a bit of smoke and mirrors happening. SNM is closing, but I've heard through a few members of the company that a new immersive show from Punchdrunk, etc, will be taking over sometime in 2024. It's said to be in the same Hitchcockian vein/already being cast and workshopped.

With that being said, SNM was a true institution, and it will be really missed. So happy I got to check out the Halloween show last week. I'll never forget seeing the prophecy scene for th

If it had opened after T***p's presidential win, it would've ran on Broadway for years.

Sister James would be a perfect showcase for Patsy Ferran.

Someone mentioned Julia Garner in another thread and now I can't stop thinking about that.


Medea at BAM
 Jan 20 2020, 11:09:54 AM

JBroadway said: "I happened to be passing by the theatre again today (just got out of Timon of Athens at TFANA)

There was a sign on the door saying that today’s performance of Medea was cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Anyone know what happened?
"

Could be because Bobby Cannavale was in LA for the SAG Awards.

Looks like they're handing out two Playbills!

The Mother (The Atlantic Theater Company) - Previews

I was at the second preview and the show was running pretty damn smoothly. Isabelle's accent is a bit thick but I can only imagine her getting better with the language of the play as the run continues. I thought the acting was great across the board. A moody, abstract, and incredibly haunting play. I haven't seen The Father but I was thoroughly engrossed with the staging and the story of this one. It's for sure a disorienting experience, as it is not based in any form of

I will be there tomorrow. Can't wait!

I was there for the matinee this past Wednesday and found the production to be in top shape but the performances lacking in any dimension (besides Cranston). As much as it pains me to to say this, I found Maslany to be terribly miscast. Some of her Diana was working but I don't think she has the right force power to drive home that character. For those wondering, I was also in the second to last row of the balcony and found the seats to be great. Only annoyance is when people bend fo

Definitely a rehearsal room image. However, The Front Page, The Crucible and Blackbird changed their Playbills after opening night. I'm assuming the same will happen here.

Temporary CATS cover is up; am assuming that it may change after it opens. Also appears that most Playbills are being converted to the 'vintage' style. The website has updated most of the covers. Some are stunning. 


HAMILTON Is Being Filmed With The OBC, So Everyone Freak The F*#k Out.
 Jun 16 2016, 11:40:19 AM

I spoke with some at Lincoln Center who said that they had tried several times to get their cameras into the Richard Rodgers, only to have the producers cancel each time. This person also said the producers had plans of their own, which is now evident given recent news.
