Have to say I really miss the time when we got at least one Metcalf play every season. Guess no one is willing to mount these seemingly less profitable productions at such a pace after Scott Rudin went down.

very chilly stalker vibe

Lead by example? What example? Huge egos to do Dear Evan Hansen movie knowing the ship has long sailed?

What does this mean? Will he perform numbers by these legends, or does it simply state the fact that these legends have performed at Palace?

 

Merrily is a show that demands the camaraderie between at least the three main characters to actually work. Otherwise you get a production devoid of the sincerity that grounds the jaded facades of other aspects of the show.

I like going to a show knowing absolutely nothing about it. That said, people can be triggered and I also agree that such warnings should be available at request.

no

It would be a crime to not include anything from Here We Are, his last musical.

I suspect a large portion of the audience that the casting choice is aiming to attract might be in the rude awakening that this is a Shakespear play that requires a proper understanding of the English language rather than West Side Story where the bar is much, much lower.

That's an understatement. When I saw this ''Oklahoma!'' on tour, the audience response was tepid and polite at best. And there were a number of walkouts. Christopher Barrow, who played Jud Fry, wrote an essay about it for Howlround.com: ''Surviving in the States: Audience Rejection on the Road With 'Oklahoma!' '' (Just for the record, the best ''Oklahoma!'' I've ever seen was Arena Stage's 2010 multi-ethnic, theater-in-the-round revival, directed by Molly Smith and led by Nicholas Rodriguez, who won a Helen Hayes Award for his Curly.THIS is the great ''Oklahoma!'' that should've played Circle in the Square.)

Hmm no. Are you implying the taste of the regional theater circle, which has been proven drastically different from that of New York, should determine which production should play in a New York theater?

Apart from being a fan from Ingrid, the biggest draw for me is Maryann Plunket. Her performance in the Richard Nelson plays at Public was mesmerizing and I revisit the PBS recordings of the Apple Family and Gabriel Family series from time to time. Truly magical. If her performance in this show is half as good, I would consider it 200 bucks well spent.

Just to be clear, this is about Lincoln Center, not Lincoln Center Theater right?
