And of course, he has billionaire Barry Diller at his side. I suspect many in the industry will swallow any reservations they have about Rudin if the money rolls in."

Please keep the money rolling in. Rudin's taste has been sorely missed in the last few years.

this is nothing but Scott Rudin ego on big display"

Notwithstanding, the lucky few of us will be having Christmas in March. :)

Anything with Metcalf, count me in!
I presume this is a Rudin production? If yes, please more Rudin productions^^

Found a recording of the opening number of the Donmar production. Truly fascinating. I guess Sondheim deep down believed the original version, or at least the idea of it, should've worked, and this was a chance for him to prove that. And maybe the revised version worked enough so he wasn't in a position to openly reject it or reverse it, so he limited the experiment to the Donmar production. It's also quite interesting that in the Roundabout/Fiasco revival, he allowed the production to add in texts from the original play the musical was adapted from. 

need update on the app as well. The top banner and bottom UI are still white.

Yeah no. No one can stop me from watching Only Murders and certainly no one can't stop me from being at Laurie Metcalf's triumphant return to the Broadway stage after 2 years.

Wolfe is doing Hadestown and Levy Ragtime. Hope for the revival after their gig is over?

Are you misappropriating projected embarrassment from the Asian community and claiming it as your own?

Tsk tsk.

Boris the racist! has spoken. Bow down accordingly."

You need a therapist. For your own sake and those around you.

Nicole did just beat Audra out of a Tony this past season…"

And Will Rodgers Follies beat Miss Saigon. Guess that show must be a household name everyone can't stop talking about.

This is nonsense, the mermaid is a fictional character, whereas Rose Hovick was a real individual who was not black."

It was adapted from a memoir whose narrative June Havoc later published her own to counter.

The show was also titled a musical "fable." Sure your grade school teacher taught you what that word means."

Sure you're musical theater books taught you it was only labeled "A Musical Fable" to keep June Havoc from suing."

? They changed the name of the character of Baby June before they signed a release contract with Havoc and then changed it back. They could easily drop the title if they want.

Who said that? Besides you, of course."

I sympathize with your need to seek validation and second doubt your own opinions all the time. Maybe finding a better group of friends can help your build your confidence. Seize the day :)

I think the play is okay at best? Surely the topic is urgent and relevant, and some performances are commendable. But it does feel heavy handed and focuses more on telling than showing, more on messaging than communicating. Do I regret paying 200 bucks for my seat? Not really. But it surely lacks the oomph that I enjoyed while watching other remarkable plays in recent seasons.
