Has Peter Gelb or anyone else in the nyc opera establishment ever extended any helpto this company? Have they even uttered a word of support for them?"
Why would they? They are competing arts institutions going for a very similar donor pool.

While I know it almost certainly wont happen this season, this theater would be absolutely perfect for Paddington.

While I appreciate your comment, and am aware of London on-sales (especially the Almeida and major concerts in London): I think this is going to be Taylor/Oasis level ticket sales. &n

SteveSanders said: "Just in case it doesn't go without saying. Barbican membership (of any level) won't guarantee getting a ticket (it's spelled out in there T&C) and London shows are more prone to hold back a decent percentage of seats for staggered released to the general public. Whether or not that occurs with this production remains to be seen, but I would be a bit surprised if it didn't."
Did you notice many tickets open up for the Blanchett

Technically not West End, but I’m sure it’ll break London theater pricing.
A little more information from Variety here, including May for sales.

I still remain skeptical about this casting, but there is no way I’m missing this (…and probably seeing it twice). Would suggest signing up for friends of the Barbican, this is gone sell hotter than Cate Blanchett two (?) season ago.

Great on pop culture, moronic on anything outside of their world (which is anything outside of pop culture). Haven’t been able to listen to them since 2024.

^ I say this with no intention of offense, but I believe you’re reading the play too literally. This play plays with absurdism, which is one of the reasons why I loved it.

Replying to both Sutton and Darquegk:
I never saw King Kong (dodged a bullet I think...) but this is very much in the vain of Matilda, but much more accessible. I think this could tour quite easily, Paddington's face is animatronic but there is an actor inside the costume. I really see no reason why this couldn't tour to amazing success. With that said, it is a primary reason for the success. Not just Paddington, but the response other a

This is among the best musicals of the last 20 years. I struggled thinking what even came close (Hamilton, Kimberly, the Band's Visit...) but it was a real challenge. This is one of those shows that you walk in and don't stop grinning from ear to ear until the very end. The second Paddington hits the stage you know what you're in for...and its a lot of tears of joy.
Mind you, the music is not groundbreaking, the choreography is just perfectly fine, and it co

Saw this yesterday am an still processing it, but I was enamored. What a damn brilliant play. I feel the sentiment of weird plays that are still accessible has become a lost art. The performances are simply devastating and Cromer has show again that he is the best director of his generation.
Cannot wait to see this again!

Lot of great memories here. They hate her, so the Post wouldn’t mention it, but I believe Hillary was a long time patron and partial to tequila and seltzer on the rocks.

Regardless of where this goes, I hope it’s happening! Missed this by just a few days last yeaR and the reviews were ecstatic. We really don’t get enough of Shakespeare’s comedies in New York.

NYT: This ‘Into the Woods’ Is Not That Deep. That’s What Makes It Great.

I really did not enjoy this. I actually bought tickets for a second performance a few weeks ago based upon early word and immediately returned them after last night’s performance.
The production images suggest something almost horrifying: this was quite generic and lacked any real concept. Worse still, the beautiful woods in the background of the stage were hardly used. Sadly, much of the staging was in the front of the stage and felt quite claustrophobic.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be there in a minute because it’s my favorite show. I just don’t think either are necessarily great for George and Dot. Elliott directing could really make this something very special though. The last production was, to put it mildly, basic.

Looking to book a second performance. For those who have seen, can you let me know what the sight lines are like on stage right or left at row B. It's designated as restricted.

Wow 😮.
May have to open up another slot to see this twice…early word on Playboy of the Western World seems like a good sacrifice.
