I haven't lost my mind (yet)."No -- I heard that they just signed Gavin MacLeod for the role."I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but he died a few days ago."And Bernie Mac has been dead for over a decade. It’s a joke.

Perhaps also a date announcement for the Tonys?

Michael Park’s bouncing from one topical pop-rock musical with mental illness as a major theme to another.

A new revival production of West Side Story, directed by Ivo van Hove and featuring brand-new choreography by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, starts previews at the Broadway Theatre on December 10th, with an official opening on February 6, 2020. I figured we should start fresh with a new thread for those who are attending previews. Who's going?

Unrelated to the actual show (which I’m enjoying immensely thus far) but it’s been a long time since I’ve watched commercials on a children’s channel and were they always this intolerable?

Now I need to make sure to see him in this role before he leaves.I do think Jordan will be great at this role. I don't consider him a stunt cast since he has theater experience already but certainly one of the bigger names they've had in the cast. He will probably only do 6 shows a week like the other main Evans."Anyone think i...

Anyone having trouble getting onto Lucky Seat at all? Trying to check the “results” page where you enter your email and it won’t load.

Haven’t heard either. Which is weird, because usually I hear even before noon with LuckySeat (I got my Hadestown and Mean Girls results at 1130 and 1155 today.)

Well, I'm glad that Andy Karl is finally leaving an original role because his contract is up and not because the show's closing.

Uptick for Be More Chill but it's still in the bottom 5 by gross and gross potential. Summer break can't come soon enough.

Brantley review for the Times. Loves Brightman and the scenic design but is meh on everything else. Not a pan, but not a Critic's Pick.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/theater/beetlejuice-review-broadway.html

Chasing Rainbows (the Judy Garland bio musical), R&H's Cinderella, Unmasked (the ALW revue), Sister Act, and the world premiere of The Wanderer, a bio musical about Dion.

To me, Curious Incident seems like the kind of show that really hinges on the performance of the actor playing Christopher. It wouldn't necessarily surprise me if an actor who isn't up to snuff can drag down the whole evening. That said, regional productions vary wildly in quality and I wouldn't necessarily get too worked up yet.

Jordan, yes, if it's very close (can't remember the exact cutoff) there can be 5 nominees. The last time that happened was 2016, when Hamilton, School of Rock, Bright Star, Shuffle Along, and Waitress were nominated. As for the featured actor debate, I'm still putting my money on George Salazar. Michael is the showier role of the two and I bet anything they want to perform Michael in the Bathroom on the Tonys, being that it's the signature song.

Tonight's the night-- Be More Chill opens tonight at the Lyceum Theatre! If you've seen professional reviews, post them here.
