Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film Sep 13

Others have said this, but this is truly a role that she SHOULD shine in. And from what we’ve heard thus far, she’s pretty much nailing the vocal performance.

Tell that to everybody against the Times Square Casino.
But also, interesting that you have such a strong opinion about my opinion. Is this hall of mirrors as much fun for you as it is for me? 🙄"
God you’re a nuisance. Please find a hobby outside of what

If Billy Porter has sepsis, I have cocktails with Tyne Daly."
Aaand you and several others here are reeeeally showing just how low on the totem pole of humanity you are. Please seek professional help.

Lea Michele, Aaron Tveit, and Nicholas Christopher in 2025 Chess Revival! Sep 5
2025, 09:55:10 AM
Shows always hold seats back for contractual obligations and to fulfill house seats. I swear every time a new show starts selling tickets yall completely forget how any of this works.
And I see that Lea is still living rent free in heads on this board. I’d love to know how those still harping on outdated (and full of inconsistencies) stories if they’d like their lives hampered by things they did in their early 20s. Love throwing stones in those glass houses don’

She sounds great. Of course the internet trolls have already decided how this is going to go, but it’s a pretty great, emotive performance on the track.

Show Closures Before Spring (speculation) Sep 4

Birdie Boy said: "Why r u pushing them out the door? Do you know their numbers? They’ve made just under a million week by week"
We have eyes and understand math. Their music catalogue alone catapults their baseline expenses. Their break even is absolutely over $1mil. And the roles aren’t like Chicago that any old star could go into it. MR also typically doesn’t do as well as other long running shows over the holidays. And only really has stronger Fa

'Romy & Michele: The Musical' To Debut Off Broadway This Fall Sep 4

LBB’s involvement in this just elevated it exponentially. The material could be crap and she’d make it funny.

Show Closures Before Spring (speculation) Sep 3

I asked this in the grosses thread before I saw this one existed but I really feel like Moulin Rouge is on a death march. Not for nothing but the Hirschfeld could be a prime option for Evita in the spring….

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/31/25 Sep 3
2025, 07:28:39 PM
Moulin Rouge doing sub-$1mil on a holiday weekend…what are the chances they close at the end of the year? They have had a rough year with only modest bumps with Boy George and Aaron when he’s come back who they can’t tap in for the winter doldrums given he’s in Chess…

GROUNDHOG DAY Will Return to The Old Vic Aug 30
2025, 03:42:27 PM
I’ve never wanted to leave a theater more than the opening number of this show. Andy Karl was fantastic, but it was not for me whatsoever. There was also zero reason for it to be as technically complicated which ultimately contributed to its financial woes.

What would you love to see adapted as a musical? Aug 23
2025, 05:39:57 AM
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind would make a beautiful and heartbreaking musical under the right creatives and director. Someone like John Tiffany could do wonders with that story.

Billy Porter out of Cabaret 8/20 Aug 21
2025, 10:45:06 AM
Yeah absolving Beanie of blame in the Funny Girl situation is pretty laughable. She knew she couldn't sing that part just like everyone else who worked on those songs with her in rehearsals did. And big yes to the nepotism point. She's essentially an adopted daughter of the Platts. I would be willing to bet that is the sole reason she was not excused from the production. In a rational world, the production would have been postponed to rehearse a new Fanny. But instead they let the sto

Variety: How 'Evita' and 'Sunset Blvd.' Made Andrew Lloyd Webber Hot Again Aug 15
2025, 05:16:43 AM
The fact is, shows lose money like this every single season year in and year out. Prognosticating on the state or broadway finances based on this one production is silly. Revivals are notoriously hard to recoup. And I imagine that Sunset’s expenses beyond what regular shows incur (the walk permitting to close the street, etc) proved to be expensive. Interesting to me that Jamie Lloyd put his own money into it. Rule #1 of lead producing has always been to produce with other people&r

Glenn vs Nicole Aug 3

Crusty Bagel said: "Nicole was far too pedestrian to play the role. Jamie Lloyd went down the failed Patti route with the big voice and annoying schtick. He should have chosen someone like Rosamund Pike to play the role. Frankly, Glenn sang the score better than Nicole ever did."
I’d suggest you look up the definition of pedestrian because the use in this context is actually comical. You the same person who’s been dogging Nicole and the revival since

That last sentence is crazy given leadership/producers of the things you mention are in fact Jewish, but anyway...Pedro Garza is not a Black actor and plays Cliff quite often.
What Billy said here is ridiculous and out of bounds, but please lets live in reality.

Burlesque (Third Preview) – A Glittery, Gutsy, Glorious Mess? Jul 22

The emcee character (think a mashup of Stanley Tucci and Alan Cumming) is suddenly a main character and inserts himself into every single number save for a couple of the women’s ballads. It’s hard not to feel like the show was reverse-engineered around him, rather than the other way around."
The most unsurprising turn of events to ever befall a show. Who and I mean WHO wants to see Todrick do anything for 2

Jeremy Jordan Back to GATSBY for the Holidays Jul 22
2025, 07:23:59 AM
Going the Aaron Tveit/Moulin Rouge route I see. Curious to see how Moulin Rouge survives into 2026 without being able to pull him in for a boost given he's in Chess when they usually tap him in. Even when they do, it's to diminishing returns.

Billy Porter: Jul 22
2025, 06:51:43 AM
They should just pack up the show at this point. Billy and Marisha were never going to put this how in profit territory, and this will only exacerbate that.
What an egotistical moron he is. There's a reason he doesn't work much on Broadway anymore. He's a *problem*.
