Dear World is Herman’s best show
Fred Mason said: "It’s a shame this beautiful show is hardly ever done. Not only is it a first rate score, but the book by Robert E Lee and Jerome Lawrence is the best of all the Jerry Herman shows. It’s a far superior show than La Cage or Hello Dolly or Mame or Mack and Mabel or The Grand Tour"

Wicked's Dropping Grosses
Fred Mason said: "I think stunt casting would send a very terrible message that the showneeds to rely on names to sell tickets rather than the show itself. They should just ride it out, it’s also bizarre that they are allergic to putting the show up on tkts. Maybe they’ll have to do discounts to sell the show for the next couple years, and then do a big 25th anniversary marketing push to get people excited again."
They have already done stunt casting in t

That a 40-year-old shouldn't be playing a 16-year-old on Broadway. Not sure what's hard to comprehend about that notion."
The various casts of Grease would like a word.
Also, you realize the time period of Dreamgirls spans many years, correct?
Paranormal Activity Ready to Spook Broadway
Speaking of paranormal plays (and not to derail the thread) I just had an advertisement pop up on Facebook for something called “2:22 - A Ghost Story” that apparently begins performances at the Lortel this October. Looks like it’s coming in from London. Anyone know anything about this one?

He was cast in the wrong role. Imagine the ticket sales if he was playing Roxie.

I will say that I am curious as to what will happen with Rocky Horror after 7/19, if there are any more cast ch

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.

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.
