Freddy is a hard role because it's somewhat underwritten. There is SOMETHING going on with him- is he a drug addict, a closeted gay man, mentally ill? But most versions of the book just make him an enigmatic jerkass of a cipher. 

I read somewhere that there's a certain amount of overlap in the characters of Freddy and the Arbiter, and they were differentiated arbitrarily into two different lead roles during the writing process. This explains why Freddie becomes a ches

I think there’s always been the implication that taxi dancer is like “escort:” the work they are nominally getting paid for is not the work they are primarily doing. 

I have always assumed the answer to Oscar’s question is “yes, Charity has sex for money, but she is doing it from a place one level removed.” The same way so many strippers and go-go dancers are pressured or choose to “do extras” simply because in this economy they can&

I’ve never loved the interpretation that Brad is a closeted gay man who suddenly gets liberated and lives his truth in the castle.

Boop has already secured the first two quarters, and the last two seem inevitable (since I can't imagine Foster and company wanting this show to go away a la

“A New Musical” came from Annie, right? It was playing with the “a new blank, a new blank, a new… deal” scene. But it stuck and became the expected nomenclature. At least Chess the Musical is possibly differentiating itself from Chess the album and Chess the concert. 

This whole ad campaign seems designed to evoke “Challengers,” but with chess instead of tennis. Unfortunately for the audience craving threesome action, the two men of

Back Row said: "I wonder if Bat Boy could take on the kind of long term rotating cast existence in a small off Broadway house that has worked for Little Shop? Big names might be able to come and go. I’m not so sure this works in a big Broadway house anyway.

"

I'm gonna say no; the reason Little Shop has run this long is both because it's a quirky small show, AND because it's one of the most beloved musicals of all time. Bat Boy is a very
