ATONEMENT stage adaptation by Christopher Hampton - Chichester Festival Theatre in May-June Feb 17
2026, 09:08:59 AM
Interested to see how this will work on stage. The beach scene in the movie is one of the most stunning sequences in all of film, shame to see a version of the story that doesn't have that.

He didn't star in Bring It On.

The Muppet Show (2026-) Dream Broadway Guest Stars Feb 5
2026, 10:36:16 PM
I've heard it said that Muppet Christmas Carol worked because Michael Caine treated the Muppets as fellow actors, and Muppet Treasure Island worked because Tim Curry treated himself as a fellow Muppet.
I think Andre De Shields would suit the former, and Christian Borle would suit the latter.

I need Dave Malloy working on a Bugonia musical immediately.

What happened to Julie Taymor? Jan 29

Broadway61004 said: "Spider-Man was enough to end anyone's career."
I know not everyone on this board is the biggest fan of Sweaty Oracle, but he brought up a good point: The Lion King is the highest grossing piece of theatre ever made. It has put more money into the Broadway ecosystem than any show ever has or likely ever will, and a lot of that had to do with Julie Taymor's direction.
Surely by now, that's enough to atone for o

Michael Grief's new 'flop' musical (Beautiful Little Fool) Jan 26
2026, 09:31:17 AM
After watching the proshot of Next To Normal, I'm beginning to get disillusioned with Michael Grief as a director. I think he's good at recognizing and attaching his name to great material, but when he gets his hands on it, he directs it in a very shallow, surface level way. Many of the criticisms tied to Rent or Dear Evan Hansen or Next To Normal are more to do with the direction than the actual texts of the

Slam Frank is funding an OCR on Kickstarter Jan 22
2026, 12:41:22 PM
No one's denying the strong work on stage, but the social media content (driven by the show's creator) has been completely undermining the satire, and incinerating any good faith the show might have built.

Slam Frank's Blatantly Anti-Semitic IG Post Jan 12

And Slam Frank has decided to steer into the skid.
For the good of the show, someone needs to take away Andrew Fox's phone.

Carrie Coon tells it like it is Jan 12
2026, 12:29:43 PM
White Lotus is a huge show, but I think we're overselling how much of a career boost it was for Carrie Coon (I think most people would say the big stars of this season were Parker Posey or Walton Goggins), and how much her career really needed a boost. We're a decade removed from The Leftovers, which is regarded by many as one of the greatest television shows ever made, and featured Carrie Coon as the second lead role. Not to mention Fargo,&nb

RAGTIME 2025 New Broadway Cast Recording Thread Jan 11
2026, 01:42:53 PM
The performances are great across the board (Joshua Henry is one of the best things to happen to musical theatre in a long time), but I'm really disappointed in how the orchestra sounds. It sounds so much thinner and reedier compared to the original cast album, even though I'm pretty sure it's the same instrumentation.

THE FANTASTICKS revival, reimagined as a gay love story, aiming for Broadway Jan 7
2026, 11:41:59 AM
KevinKlawitter said: "Christopher Gattelli as director & choreographer "
I like the idea of doing the show as a gay love story, but something feels deeply wrong about doing The Fantasticks in a Broadway house. It's a show meant to be done with 2 musicians and a box of props in a playing space the size of a living room.

May no one ever come for me as ferociously as Sweaty came for Kevin Lynch.

I used to watch him on YouTube. He's a very talented musician, and some of his videos were pretty funny before he started trying to become the Ben Shapiro of Broadway. It's a shame he decided to throw that all away to become a provocateur.

Kad said: "It's certainly odd that he's leaving abruptly mid-season, particularly when he's the breakout star from the last several years. I know he was rumored to have been approached for Oh Mary but turned it down- I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he ended up doing it at some point."
It's uncommon, but not unheard of. Both Cecily Strong and Seth Meyers left the show mid-season.
