Don't rag on the Broadway Green Alliance. They are a vital environmental initiative working within the Broadway community to inspire, educate, and implement eco-friendly practices. Since its inception in 2008, the BGA has been dedicated to fostering sustainable practices in all areas of theater production, from reducing waste and conserving energy to promoting green design and transportation. They have successfully launched numerous projects, such as recycling programs for sets and costumes, energy-efficient lighting installations, and initiatives to reduce carbon footprints across productions. To further their mission, the BGA welcomes volunteers to contribute their time and skills, offering opportunities to get involved in everything from hands-on recycling efforts to advocacy and educational outreach. Volunteering with the BGA is a meaningful way to support environmental sustainability while becoming an integral part of the vibrant Broadway community.
For sure check out their website if you are interested in the intersectional work of theater and environmentalism.

You saw show that you enjoyed today. Why should it matter if it is specifically in of the 40 theaters in midtown.
If you enjoy the programming you saw, support that theater…

Theatre "Influencers"
May 1
2024, 12:56:03 PM
Nothing on this thread warrants deleting
I think, like a lot of things, influencers operate on a spectrum. Are they the theater lover who happens to be able to put together some engaging and informative internet content? Amazing, but unfortunately, those seem to be few and far between. The moment you start receiving complimentary tickets to events without working for a recognized publication, where is the line between being critical and being a shill? Do influencers truly he

I still would have given "Here Lies Love" a best musical nomination. But glad they were noticed for score.

What an enchanting and delightful show! It's filled with humor, touching moments, beautiful music, and a laugh-out-loud storyline. While we'll miss Kymberly, we're thrilled she embarked on her Great Broadway adventure.

@kad I hope it was the Pillowman with Googly eyes that sent Charlotte St. Martin right of over the edge.
I can’t imagine that this production wouldn’t try to qualify for Tony awards, because there is always a chance that Cole could be nominated as an actor, and depending how many plays come a long next year it could certainly snag a best play nomination.

I WISH the people who programmed the Tonys were clever enough to use Cole in the broadcast.
We had Nick Kroll and John Mulaney in a hit Broadway show, and they didn’t even ask them to present.

Disney Opening a new show at the New Amsterdam this September?
Apr 11
2024, 10:50:38 AM
You need to remember that "Newsies" was becoming increasingly difficult to cast at a Broadway level, and buy closing it would continue generating substantial revenue for Disney, especially through regional and school productions. Aladdin, which is built specifically for the New Am, continues to thrive.
Bringing in over a million dollars per week and proving to be a massive hit with foreign tourists.
It's clear that Aladdin isn't going anywhere an

Saw Patriots last night, and I think it does a good job of providing the 10,000-foot view of recent Russian history. Of course, since the play is written by the creator of "The Crown," one can assume that most of the scenes between heavy hitters like Putin and Boris have been heavily dramatized for the stage. I am a big fan of Rupert Goold's directing style, and he hits all the marks here. While the set, for the most part, is static, he does a fantastic job of keeping the plot a

Groban & Ashford in SWEENEY TODD On Broadway

2023, 08:15:38 AM
I was there last night.
Fantastic voice, and wonderful to see his debut.
I was in the rear mezz and had no problem with the sound quality.
But I guess put me in the category of people who found the production lacking over all.
I was never nervous or scared, and the lackluster staging of Mrs. Lovetts death really took me out of it.
Like in high school when you get to the end of a show and the director has to block it 20 min b

NYT: The Loss of Subscribers Who Went to Everything
Aug 31
2023, 05:49:27 PM
I am probably the rare exception to the millennial of being a subscriber. I only have one subscription to a nonprofit New York City based theater. And the only reason I have it is because all the shows in the season or some thing that I am interested in seeing, and they actually have all the dates for when their shows will be played so that I know that I’m able to see it.
I would never buy a subscription where a show runs during the summer, because I know I will not be here

As someone who takes student groups to these different Times Square establishments...
I have found Gayle's Broadway Rose at the Edison Hotel a more pleasant experience.
The food is nothing to write home about, but I didn't feel as totally crammed in, and the kids can sing.
