Cranston, et. al., in All My Sons
 Sep 16 2025, 03:21:40 AM

If someone has not taken a hit out on me here by then (kidding, I hope) I'll report back - I agree that there IS something a bit comedy vibes about the art but I highly doubt the actual production is. It's just they probably want it to appeal to a wide audience for sales purposes. The colour tone, angles etc.. also has SOME hint of darkness but the style is a bit too much "love actually".

I would be very keen to hear Alex Newell sing this score but isn't attendance especially for this kind of role a necessary condition for it to ever work? The role and score would also be a lot more demanding than Alex N

It's likely just disconnected systems/processes. TKTS are probably discounting

The personal attacks are so boring - to try and continue a real discussion. theatrefan4, to your hope that this could cause fear in the political opposition to take action (e.g. gun control), I think if you look into what the right are doing right now it appears they are extremely triggered, with many declaring war and seeking revenge. So I expect that this will have the exact opposite counterproductive effect. I don't think terrorism will ever work. Does it ever? 


Cabaret Lawsuit bigger picture questions
 Sep 12 2025, 12:38:56 PM

In most cases the shows that are staying open losing money every week are in previews are they not? So pretty much all the money is gone either way and if they give up they’ll certainly never win (maybe happy ending also has probably given a precedent for this practice to continue). 

However, for most shows that are in a run are there many producers who keep the shows open way too long? Is it not the case that they at least try to break even and if starts to go in the red th

I don’t know what people think of Bill Maher but I am sympathetic to his ideas yes. 

I think you’re confused if you believe that trying to get us all to agree political violence is not ok means defending Charlie Kirk. What I’m really trying to do is first get some of you to see that we do have very extreme attitudes here that are the literal definition of terrorism (can we all just sit for a moment and reflect what we think the implication of this is if we sc

Sutton, you are unhinged. Most people except for you have at least acknowledged they condemn the violence even if they have no sympathy for his death. 

You have said that you support the violence, so you support terrorist attitudes. 

theatrefan4 - thanks for being honest. I think it’s implicit in therefore what you are saying that you think violence is a legitimate political strategy. I am saddened to hear that - I know it might not feel like terrorism but all te

Sutton, you’re being extremely disingenuous. If you agree that Charlie Kirk should have faced violence for his political views - which you just did on the off topic board - you hold terrorist attitudes. It’s just a logical necessary conclusion because that is what terrorism is. Now what you’ve done is twisted the whole thing to make it seem like if someone doesn’t agree with me generally. 
 

If you believe political violence is legitimate you are

I think it’s always about asking yourself what goal are we trying to achieve? If we are trying to minimise violence yes it is important for someone to be the bigger person and stop. Look at what Israel are doing in Gaza and keep saying ‘but October the 7th’ to kill 100,000 people. Violence breeds more violence. Yes Israel were attacked first but they could have been the bigger person to respond differently. 

If it’s Charlie Kirk that is killed and the

It’s not about the past it’s about the future. If you want to be part of the solution you have to condemn violence it’s that simple. If you continue with a mindset ‘but they but they’ then you’re saying the cycle of violence should continue and it’ll never end.

Sorry Jordan that wasn’t explicitly in reply to you. Thank you - I DO think it’s important to acknowledge and I also agree with you that you shouldn’t necessarily have to feel sympathetic. But the reluctance for people to condemn this attack is quite scary and shocking to me. Too many people are saying ‘but they did’ ‘but they’. This is exactly the cycle of violence between Israel and Palestine. Unless SOMEONE takes the moral high ground, it will never end. Even if emotionally you feel ‘but they’ the whole point of condemning this violence is actually to protect us all. Because look at the extreme right wing who are triggered by the left wing public’s reaction to this. Look at the reddit comments saying they are scared about what is going to happen as a result.

If we cannot stop this we will see a trans activist shot next ‘’but look at what they did and how they reacted to Charlie Kirk. It’s war’ is what it will feel like and what will happen.

It’s not about who did what or who is worse or who is a hypocrite because yes everything you are saying is probably true. However, if you are saying to me now that the mainstream dominant opinion held by the left and right apparently in the USA is that violence is an acceptable strategy for dealing with political disagreement you are saying that terrorism is ok and you are normalising terrorism. 

The consequence of this is anarchy. Genuinely. It’s terrible. It’s

Jordan, that could all be true but will you still condemn the shooting and agree that he should not have faced threats of violence or actual violence for saying those things?

KrupYou, will you or any other posters on this forum explicitly endorse this statement as true? Can I ask every forum member who agrees with this statement to like this post? If it’s ignored I think it’s clear what is going on here.

This is pathetic. You are the troll. You’re being a child. If you and every other person cannot endorse that statement as true, you have no morals and are supporting terrorism. Terrorism breeds terrorism.

Please show that you are not a child, that you are an adult who can be reasonable, who can endorse that statement as true. If you continue to reply with your childish behaviour I can only assume that you are indeed a child.

Why won’t you endorse this statement as true?

“If Charlie Kirk was murdered for expressing his political views, this was wrong. No one deserves to be murdered for their political views. There is no justification. We must protect the right for people to express themselves freely without fear of violence even and ESPECIALLY when we don’t agree with them”.
