These star B.O. shows where the astronomical ticket price is part of the draw might go out of fashion very quickly (not just for audiences but for the stars involved)."There is zero sign nor reason for that to be the case. Other Desert Cities, a play the general public does not know/has never heard of is selling more than the top earning musicals due to it's celebrity wattage. Much Ado is doing gangbuste...

Ya'll really need to find a therapist and work through the concept of supply & demand so you don't experience this level of psychosis every time a celebrity-driven show is announced. Shows also test the thresholds of their prices by going out with higher prices, pulling them down as performances get closer if they aren't moving. This is also a smaller house, so supply is lower. Allllll that said, Jeffrey Seller is absolutely by far one of the greediest producers on Broadway.

SteveSanders said: "Maybe a "toned down" version of Being Alive would have won Esparza a Tony Award, but it would have been inauthentic to the entire arc built for Bobby in that production of Company and eliminated a moment for which he received extensive praise.."That doesn’t mean the performance didn’t go too far. Which it did. Bordering on comically manic. The praise for that production will never make sense to me. It’s one of the coldest things I’ve ever seen.

If Lempicka, Harmony, Jellicle Ball, Queen of Versailles, and other recent flops can get an album, I don’t see how one can decisively say Wanted won’t."This would be a much better use Fiona Rudin's money than pouring cash into losses week after week. If they got How To Dance In Ohio into the studio, they'll do the same here.

Corruption has nothing to do with critical reviews of a show. Especially the 3 you chose to highlight. Two of which were abject creative failures. Get some new material, Flash. The act is tired.

Reviews do not hold the same power as they once did. Not even close. So they have nice words for ads, but it's not going to convince anyone.

Re: WANTED Reviews

Also, they're pulling some pretty dirty tricks with their ads, at least those on this site. The banners have a NYT critics pick seal on it, which it did get at Papermill under a different title, but to run that after getting THAT review from Shaw? Just tacky and dishonest. Not that the average ticket buyer would know the difference, but it's slimy as hell.

These are far from reviews that get people to look up tickets. P3 is a well-connected-to-deep-pockets producing office, but there are enough projects circling for Spring that this will be gone before February, if not before the end of the year.

James and Arti coming over sits right with my heart. So glad they are getting this opportunity despite the rumors they weren't. A great, stacked-but-not-flashy cast here. Truly can't wait for this.

It'd be strange for them to schedule an opening for two shows on the same day. I know there have been instances in the past couple of years where that was the case, but was the case for late entries into the season. Shows typically have to clear their official opening date with the League to mitigate direct competition for press coverage.

There is a benefit to having someone like Ben Pajak in a show."This is not something audiences care about nearly as much as you and people on this board do. 18 playing younger is hardly Ben Platt level egregiousness.

It can work. Michael Grief definitely wasn't the director to push the show into that territory, that's for sure.I also love the people who take any criticism of Sutton Foster so personally lol. She ain't right for Gypsy either, but we don't have to worry about that for a dec...

If it is indeed Ariana, it's going to be a whole lot of "big whoop" :/. Nicole would be electrifying. Ariana does not have that IT factor for Aurora. Imagining Nicole's title number just gave me chills.

It should come as no surprise given my username that this just sent me into the stratosphere. I directed this show in college and it remains my favorite score. It's true Act I is a problem and essentially a different show, but the "Daddy's Girl" into "Will You" sequence of scenes is pretty breathtaking. Also, PLEASE for the love of god bring back "Better Fall Out Of Love" to replace "Goin' Places". The latter is GD awful. Always wished there was a one-act format that was mostly Act II, but in...
