Seaview will take over the former Tony Kiser Theater, to become a commercial Off-Bway theater Jan 13

Just walked past the theater on Saturday after seeing Little Shop and was mourning the loss of such a great space that hosted so many remarkable productions...elated to hear it's going to have a second life!

Audra is the rare actress that meets unrealistic expectations in almost everything that she does, from Lizzie, to Josie, to Bess, and Billie and a lot in between. She didn't here.
I'm coming back and hope that I'm proven wrong.
EDIT: When writing this, I was reminded of how ****ing good her Josie was in Moon for the Misbegotten. Damn, I wished that would have transferred! And, but for Covid, we would have gotten her Blanche. Hop

^ This is it, in a nutshell.
I've stayed off this page since the first preview to get a grasp of what others are experiencing. I'm genuinely glad that many people are enjoying it, some experiencing either Audra or Gypsy for the first time. With that said the "what did you expect, it's Audra's voice!" criticisms have all been rather callow.
There is along list of Roses who had a specific voice who managed to transpose their registe

Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to Broadway? Dec 6
2024, 04:20:20 AM
I tried last night (I'm in Italy so im 6 hours ahead) and quit when I saw the ten hour wait. Logged on this morning 4AM Est and got two pretty nice seats in the upper orchestra for 120, pretty happy. Would check out the selection now, there are still good seats to be had at reasonable prices.

QueenAlice said: "It's apparently a pretty straightforward production of GYPSY."
I would imagine it would be. Wolfe is a formidable director, but he doesn't do "high" concept or shtick. Not saying that these concepts cant be done well, it's just not his thing.

People disagree with his take and want to express their disagreement: there's nothing wrong with that. I generally don't agree with his reviews, I just try to keep that to myself.

Goodman's Betrayal: Helen Hunt, Robert Sean Leonard, and Ian Barford Nov 14

Jason and JK: Thank you! WIll check those out. If you wouldn't mind, please let me know if you see anything pop up between now and February that strikes your fancy!
As for the aging, that doesn't really bother me. I'm curious how this will work, but also, how old were Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz when they did this on Broadway, more or less early 40s?
Personally, I've always wanted to see Hunt on stage. Something about

This was not on my radar, but it's worth a trip to Chicago. Looks like a new production of Fool for Love is also going on at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company at the same time.
Anything else happening in Chicago mid-February? I'm cold just thinking about it, but I'm already sold on going!

Mescal to bring Frecknall-helmed STREETCAR to Broadway? Nov 11

I am very excited for Streetcar - but Kosky's The Threepenny Opera is the show I'm most looking forward to in 2025. I had hoped this would transfer but wasn't confident, what a bit of great news!

Rachel Zegler & Kit Connor-led ROMEO + JULIET Previews Oct 1
2024, 04:56:20 PM
Hopefully, I'll like it more than already reported. I'm largely seeing it for Kit Connor, as I think he has potential to be an excellent actor, one around for quite some time.
Does he, though? I don't mean to be cynical, but he seems like this year's model, namely from "Heartbreaker." I haven't seen anything to support a groundbreaking future career, but maybe I'm missing something. Would happy to be proven wro

Well I guess then your book isn't the only book in the library?
A really toxic member of this board was just removed: celebrate that with a little less snark in the comments. Don't mean to isolate any one member, god knows I've been guilty, just a suggestion to all of us.

Brody was not on during today's (Thursday) matinee.
Having said that, I found the show mediocre from beginning to end: I doubt his involvement would have altered my opinion.

Would love a revival of this...Sher's production remains so vivid in my head. I consider it among the best productions I've ever seen.
