The other thing that changes the finances for any Disney show in the New Amsterdam is that Disney has a 99 year lease on the theatre. So their rent payments are substantially different than what most other shows are dealing with

Mr. Wormwood said: "As I said in other threads, I'm very much in the camp of it's not going anywhere anytime soon.That being said, I'm curious how close they are to releasing amateur rights now that the movie has come and gone. Phantom hadamateur rights available for years before it closed while Les Mis was right before it closed IIRC.While it might seem counter intuitive because "everyone will be doing Wicked" (and yes, we'll get a lot of bad HS versions) but perhaps it would renew interest ...

MadsonMelo said: "I'm glad we are finally getting a Tennessee Williams play on Broadway this decade, last one was pre-pandemic with Rose Tattoo, right?I love this play and never seen on stage before, hope the cast is good, but this title has not been lucky on Broadway in the last productions."The 2008 Debbie Allen directed revival seemed to do fairly well, with only two weeks falling below 80% capacity, and the majority of them playing above 90% capacity. The 2013 revival did struggle quite a...

Famebroadway2 said: "I feel like this show won’t look anything like previous productions. A show this size would cost too much to mount in today’s climate. The sets are huge and the cast is even bigger. All the costumes and staff… 42nd St is not a cheap show to produce. Although with a star or two they could probably get enough backing."Rudin would be able to get the backing, but I agree that it would have to be scaled way back from the previous revival to have any chance of recouping. That o...

Call_me_jorge said: "That’s an incredible stat. I had sworn Caissie was nominated for Ghost."Looking at the other nominees that year, I'd wager that the fifth slot came down to a coin toss between her and Laura Osnes, and she unfortunately lost that. And of course Jan Maxwell already had that Tony in her bag until Audra swiped her bag from her

joevitus said: "Hope you're right. I asked because, as this is a revivalfrom the same company that brought the last Broadway revival, and considering the flood of recordings of this show already out there, it seemedless likely."Roundabout was not involved in the 2000 revival. That was produced by Jordan Roth

This production was my introduction to the show, and I miss the dance break they added to this song whenever I see productions using the original arrangements

A few things to keep in mind.SETA no longer exists. We have had a unified Touring Agreement for a couple years now. In that Touring Agreement there are provisions for a tour stop in New York City which includes pay bumps up to the Level 1 salary minimums, which are essentially the same as the current, now expired, minimums on the Production Contract (it’s roughly a $50 difference). Tours adding a NYC/Broadway stop, either partway through the itinerary or as a limited final stop is nothing new...

There’s also the fact that the events of the book that Act 2 used span about 14 or 15 years. Elphaba and Fiyero reconnect about 5 years after she and Glinda meet the Wizard. After he is attacked she spends 7 years in the mauntery before setting out for Kiamo Ko to try to seek forgiveness from his wife and family. She then spends roughly another 7 years there before the tornado and arrival of Dorothy into Oz.

Again, did I miss something?"I read the Wicked book back in 2004 or around there, but forget why Glinda gave her the shoes in there. But as seen in the trailers, Nessa can fly with them, so Glinda could know they would help Dorothy fly h...

joevitus said: "I have a question about the two cast recordings. Is the reprise of "Morphine Tango" missing from the Vanessa Williams revivalbecause they just oddly left it off, or is it something that luckily was captured because the original castwas recorded in London, and it was dropped for the Broadway transfer?"I can’t find my copy of the script to check to see what has been in the licensed script, but in the Playbill that’s on Playbill Vault the Morphine Tango Reprise is not listed, so ...

BorisTomashevsky said: “The apartment complex allegations were against his father’s company. But yes let’s not let the son avoid the sins of the father, shall we?”Donald was a co-defendant in the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the company since he was holding the title of president while his father was co-chairman. So it wasn’t just something his father did while he was just a child or not involved in the company.

Glad to hear they are working on revisions. This has always been a favorite since reading the book shortly before the 1990 movie was released. Been listening to the recording the past few days and am very mixed on the score in general. There are some moments I absolutely love, some that I wonder if I would appreciate better in context of the whole show, and some that I’m already willing to just hit next on when listening. Hopefully they are able to tighten it up with further revisions before ...

Looks to be the original score with the cuts (No Matter What, Maison de Lunes, the Battle) that have been made to it over the yearshttps://www.reddit.com/r/Broadway/s/irxUdSg2mo

In the book they kissed when they part ways in the Emerald City.She put her face against Glinda's and kissed her. “Hold out, if you can,” she murmured, and kissed her again. “Hold out, my sweet.”So it's left very ambiguous and readers can fill in the subtext as they wish for just what type of kisses they were. They could be passionate, they could be romantic, or they could be platonic. Twenty some years ago when I read it I personally did not attribute that passage to mean they had any sort o...

Contracts are undoubtedly already signed by the time the season is announced. The producers of Hamilton are obviously in a better position to be able to cancel. They may even still be under what is called a Four Walls contract, which is more similar to the Broadway model, where the producers of the tour are paying for everything and giving a cut to the local presenter, as opposed to the presenter paying a guarantee to the producers to bring the show in. Without seeing the contract, I would as...

Kad said: "Eliminating union involvement is certainly a surefire way to financially ruin the KC and maybe that's their end goal."This. He doesn’t care about running a successful arts organization. He wants to grift whatever he can out of it and then tear it down

I haven’t seen this production yet, so it may not work with the staging/direction, but I could also see the removal of a mask either before or during “I Don’t Care Much” being an effective moment

Power of the Dark Crystal was shelved years ago. The Henson company pivoted over to Age of Resistance and eventually allowed the story of Power to be adapted into limited run comic series in 2017

Just based on my experience working in the ballet world, I would guess that it was an even split. It is fairly unusual for a principal/soloist to do two performances in a row in the same role, especially in a full length piece. For instance, the Nutcracker I've been doing for the past few years, this year we had 7 Sugar Plum/Cavalier pairings, and that was only for 13 performances. That same company just finished Romeo and Juliet and they had two pairings for the title roles for four performa...
