Broadway's Best Kept Secrets - Passion + Paddington Jun 12 2026, 02:42:57 PM
TotallyEffed said: "It's not unheard of. Michael Greif directed Days of Wine And Roses, The Notebook, and Hell's Kitchen all in one season. Scott Ellis did it with You Can't Take It With You, The Elephant Man, and On The Twentieth Century in one season."
Not to mention, Evita and Much Ado just need to be remounted. No small task, of course, but they aren't starting from scratch. It's also possible that Passion starts in London."<

Do we think Jamie is really going to have both Passion AND Evita in the same season as well as Much Ado? Nah that's not happening. I'd guess Passion is next season?

The mental gymnastics on display here^. Olympic medal-worthy.
Israel has worked tirelessly to conflate "Free Palestine" into an anti-semitic statement. And that's on purpose. And you've fallen for it. Israel by definition originated as colonial state in that it was land that was occupied for hundreds/thousands of years by an entire population of people distinct from those who showed up, took the land by force and now exert complete control over the

Ali himself could say that it happened and people in this thread would still say it didn’t. Denial is a hell of a drug.

Moulin Rouge OBC Cast Returning for Closing? Jun 12 2026, 08:22:22 AM
This is one of the videos they launched the Broadway production with. They had one for each of truth beauty freedom love. Wouldn’t read that much into it, but maybe Danny is going back in to close it out.

A lot of theaters are going to be vacant in the coming months - any idea of what’s going where? Jun 11 2026, 05:40:45 PM
theblackumbrella said: "If Warriors is going to the Lunt-Fontanne, that would kind of make sense since Tommy Kail did Sweeney there so he's recently familiar with the space. I don't know if he's directing, but he most certainly will be a producer. He's been with Lin from the get go."
We need to internalize the fact that directors do not have anything to do with theater choice beyond the basic capability to house the show they intend to create. Sure th

Yes, it is now posted on both Tony Awards and LB IG channels. People being like "oh well it's posted now" miss the point entirely that it took overwhelming pressure, particularly from the show's fans, for them to even do so. That should be concerning to everyone.

It is a very deliberately constructed speech."

Why did Bernadette Peters win the Tony for Annie Get Your Gun? Jun 11 2026, 10:34:14 AM
Sutton would be worse casting than Audra was. Hopefully producers understand now that the role does not work without a performer that can withstand the vocal demands of the role (arguably, Sutton doesn't have a shred of the attitude for the character either). Audra acted it beautifully, sure. But as soon as she opened her mouth to sing, we were in the realm of Tosca, not Gypsy.
After Music Man, I'd have hoped that Sutton's vocal ability would be more soberly examined,

This statement in and of itself is blithe since you know exactly who the colonizers are given that before 70 years ago, the nation of Israel did not exist and the land on which it does today was inhabited for centuries by an entire Arab population t

Fred Mason said: "Sutton Foster blew Patti out of the water in Anything Goes. She will be reprising her Tony Award winning performance in a Roundabout remount of the production in the coming years."
And what are you smoking? Sutton danced the part beautifully but to compare the two vocally would be a setup for Sutton. The woman isn’t a singer like that. Shes a dancer who sings.
