I turned on the tv this afternoon and by chance caught the Stratford (Ont.) production of Edward Albee's Three Tall Women about half an hour in on CBC. The magnificent Martha Henry plays "A". Apparently she died 16 days after this production closed last year. If anyone is in Canada (or has a VPN) it's streaming on CBC Gem for a limited time by special arrangement with Albee's estate.

I guess Broadway musicals with lead characters named Evan don't make good movies (based on a sample size of 2).

9/11, possibly my best score ever. Thanks for doing these quizzes NewYorkTheater, I look forward to them every month.

Excuse me if this question has been answered elsewhere.I'm seeing Hamilton (on tour) for the first time on Sunday. If I don't do any homework in advance will I be lost? Should I listen to the cast recording? Read a synopsis? I generally like to go into a show as unspoiled as possible, but I don't want to be totally out to lunch. Thanks in advance.

Tone is everything

To be fair to Rainah, I don't think they were seriously suggesting that this is stunt casting.FYI: Petrina Bromley is out of the cast until late September because she's shooting season two of the Canadian sitcom Son of a Critch. It's sort of a Newfoundland Wonder Years or The Goldbergs - based on a memoir by Newfoundland comedian Mark Critch. Bromley plays a schoolteacher nun.

Hardly stunt casting, but I hope it bumps up the box office.

BwayFan252 said: "These numbers don't look too great for Come From Away or Dear Evan Hansen. How long do you guys see these shows sticking around?"I hope CFA can hang around until at least mid-June so it can break the house record for most performances at the Schoenfeld/Plymouth (currently held by Jeckyll and Hyde).

I know this thread was bumped by a spammer, but I'm curious where the op is now, 10 years later.

Who's going to play the peach?

I haven't seen any mention of Come From Away. Does anyone know how it's doing?

Seth and James talked about the cancellation on their show last night (Waltons vs. Little House on the Prairie game night). It wasn't because of ticket sales - it had something to do with the logistics of covid protocols making it impossible to do (I forget exactly what he said). The reason Seth hasn't been promoting it is because they suspected for the last month that it might not happen.

Good luck in your career. Just watch out for a shady character named Ellis.

I'm choked. The first time I saw him on stage was in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Citadel Theatre (when it was a tiny theatre) in Edmonton in about 1968. RIP.

42nd Street in 1980, the week after it opened. It was my first (and to date, only) trip to NYC - 5 shows in 4 days. Besides 42nd Street at the Wintergarden, I saw The Elephant Man at the Booth, Children of a Lesser God at the Longacre, West Side Story at the Minskoff, and Peter Pan (Sandy Duncan) at the Lunt-Fontanne. All tickets from TKTS except for the matinee of WSS which I paid full price for, though I needn't have bothered; it was quite late in its run and there were lots of empty seats ...

Not a musical, but Ubu Roi.

So good. What a cast.
