Is that even still a possibility? I thought they had done a refit during the pandemic and those bathrooms are now locked if there is no performance."

Don't know about the bathrooms on the same level as the

Evena show like Moulin Rogue got grilled for being empty treats for the audience. People are not capable of sitting and being quiet for 2 hours anymore, more lax entertainment like variety shows would be perfect for today. And those didn’t just happen in

Birdie Boy said: "Why aren’t there any revues on broadway?? I want Florenz Ziegfeld, I want vaudeville, I want jubilee"

This is gonna be a shock but the sophistication of 2025 audiences has grown far beyond what it was 75, 50 or even 30 years ago. If Broadway producers thought they could make a buck putting on those types of shows, I'm pretty sure we'd be seeing them. That we're not should tell you something. You can want all you want but it's n

Wick3 said: "Since Green is assigned a new role at NYT, at least he still has a job. The job market out there is quite grim so I'm glad he still has a paycheck. Hopefully he didn't get a paycut.

I'm just guessing he won't be able to get comp tickets at Broadway shows anymore?"

Don't be too happy for him just yet. "Assigned a new role" in corporate speak should never be taken literally. If they truly wanted him in a new role, t

Paramount, parent company of both CBS and Comedy Central just announced their intent to merge with Skydance Media, a company thought to be very conservative in its political leanings with Skydance as controlling partner. There was immediate speculation about the future of Colbert and also the Daily Show for obvious reasons. Well, that didn't take long. Even though it had not been formally communicated to him until last night, Colbert's no dummy and I suspect he knew his

I can't put into words how thrilled I am for Francis Jue. He is one of the absolute treasures of the Bay Area. I counted 8 shows I've seen him in over the last 20 years from Cambodian Rock Band to King of the Yees to M. Butterfly to a compelling turn in the King and I at the defunct American Musical Theater of San Jose and his versatility never ceases to amaze. When he's on stage, you can't take your eyes off him afraid of missing what he will do next. So happy

Yeah, I really wish we could go back to strictly in person rushes where for the popular shows, even if you get there at 7:30, there are already 20-25 people in line and the odds are high you're about to waste the next 2 1/2 hours of your life. That was always so enjoyable.

The only issue I have with Telecharge Digital Rush is that once you get a ticket, you are locked out of getting any other tickets for the next 3 days. I wish that would go away as if you're in town for a week

It's about Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti who were Italian immigrants and anarchists who were controversially convicted of murdering Alessandro Berardelli and Frederick Parmenter, a guard and a paymaster, during the April 15, 1920, armed robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company in Braintree, Massachusetts.

 

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you asked what the Sacco and Vanzetti case was ab

"Putting out the message that an already struggling show is not for certain people may rally your core audience, but it's also explicitly telling a lot of other people not to come."

And message received, at least by me. Had thought of giving this a shot but the righteous indignation that a critic dared to not like their wonderful show in an attempt to rally the public to their side is a complete turn off for me and quite frankly a technique that I can't
