Am I correct that this is not a Roundabout production and they are just renting the theater?
Paranormal Activity Ready to Spook Broadway
I had been very interested in this, but I just realized that the playwright is the same one who wrote Grey House, which sucked balls. I’ll wait for the NY reviews.
Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/22/26
GirlFromOz68 said: "the prices for Chess this week were back to where they were early in the run and it was hardly surprising they were going to capitalise on people who wanted to see the show one more time before it closed."
No sh*t Sherlock. I’m just disappointed that I didn’t get to see it one more time because I’m not paying over $200 for a $79 seat. But good for them for finding suckers willing to do so.

the new box office layout sucks. it was much easier to read the old way."
Not difficult for Chess to go out on a high when they were suddenly charging more than two hundred bucks for not so great seats that used to sell for $79 or less. I wanted to revisit but not for those prices.
Baz: EVITA to Broadway in 2027 and Zegler in LCT Sound of Music in 2026?
Fred Mason said: "Maria can be 50. It was a mistake not casting Kelli in My Fair Lady and it’ll be a mistake here. To say nothing of the fact that Mary Martin was 46 when she played it."
Jesus Christ. The character is supposed to be in her early 20’s. Next you’ll be lobbying for Chenowith to play the role.

I am irritated. I won’t be coming to the city for my theater vacation until July 20. This code stops working after July 18 performances."
BWAYSHIP might still work for then.
TDF Down
TheKauferGroup said: "If I were a producer of Celebrity Autobiography or Chess, relying on some TDF income for the last week of performances, I would be absolutely livid."
The last time I looked, the rest of the Chess run is practically sold out.
What Show has had the Most Productions Open at the Same Time.
Wicked had 9 productions running at the same time right before the 10th anniversary, I believe!

"La Cage" at City Center
Just checked for tickets and there are only 14 (pretty crappy) seats left for tonight, 21 seats for tomorrow, and the rest of the run is very heavily sold as well, so I guess there is interest in this production after all.
Next for Mexodus?
Fred Mason said: "I heard it was trying to come to Broadway and I hope it does."
Heard from who, Flash?
How Much Did the Recasting Affect "Death Becomes Her"?
Exactly that ^^^
To get repeat viewers, it’s easier to convince someone to drop money on a new group of Broadway divas in a show rather than just one replacement and the rest of the cast the same.
At the end of the day, Betsy just wasn’t exciting enough of casting to bring people BACK to the show.
ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN Run Time?
I can’t remember exactly but it was the longest one act of my life. An absolute slog to get through. I would have left at intermission if I could have!

Titanique code is back.
bwayship takes a $150 seat and reduces it to $79. At least it did for me.
Fear of 13 closing June 28?

The fact that the productionwon't admit this is over is strange but not surprising."

I’d love this as well. Using today’s technology but fully recreating the original production seamlessly. No LED screens, etc. The original production was already mi
