But it always struck me as odd that the Post hired a critic who lives in New York and writes primarily about Broadway theater, given that DC has such a vibrant resident theater scene of its own. Looking at Kumar's bylines in the three months leading up to his layoff, I see only two DC reviews: GUYS AND DOLLS at Shakespeare Theatre and IN CLAY at Signature (Virginia). Meanwhile, nearly every B

I assume the contracts already include language around cancellations resulting from the venue's inability to host and what the compensation must be. Now of course this isn't any ordinary venue, and Trump has a history of not paying debts, but the contracts should cover this situation.

I'm so glad they abandoned the original concept for the Fun Home Tony performance. At the invited dress that morning they attempted to recreate the in the round experience of Circle in the Square by using the giant LED wall to mirror the audience instead of just having Sydney Lucas turn around and put her back to the audience. I get what they were going for, but it just didn't work during the dre

John Adams said: 

Yes, but has "the show", or any of its creative/legal representatives, really "positioned itself in the zeitgeist" in that way? Or did that reputation come from other sources?

I don't feel any sense of alarm re: the number of people (students, or otherwise) who acknowledge the large number of historical accuracies contained in "Hamilton". There are many."

I mean the student matinees an

whatacharacter said: "I don't know if concern is too strong a word...  I support and respect the decision to remove gender identifiers from performance catagories to be all-inclusive, however, in doing so only half of the amount of artists are being recognized.  As two catagories were combined into one, why not award the top two winners?  In my region all performance awards went to cis-female performers."

Do you have the same concerns with the fact

MayAudraBlessYou2 said: "Suggesting that Roundabout should be forced to give up theaters because they arent actively producing shows there is absolutely ridiculous.Roundabout is far from the only non-profit who acts as landlord. I fail to see how it is a bad thing. They rent out their spaces as a source of income. Direly needed income. Roundabout would love to continually support their own productions in both Studio 54 and Todd Haimes theaters, but fundraising at this level to produc

"The filing asks the city to grant new air rights for Studio 54 or to allow theater air rights to be sold more broadly across the Theater District, rather than limiting transfers to neighboring sites."

Okay, sothis remarkably privileged non-profit wants to add even morelegal possibilities for commercial development inthe Times Square area on top of what is already on the books so they can refurbish one of their

This is not a serious amount of a drug that many people argue has a lot of therapeutic value. This is easily spinnable and, let's be serious, not that big of a deal.

Now. Is it extremely arrogant to think you can get away with something like this? Yea. He's the worst pers

Strange time to start a sudden advertising blitz - when your website is barely functional and in the worst shape it’s been in years."

You'd be surprised how easy it is to target those ads to the people who are in that area at any given moment. Geofencing is both terrifying and an amazing mar

I kind of feel this would be like if I wasted time arguing over why I think the Jamie Lloyd Sunset is better than the 2017 Glenn Close. There is a point where the work, reaction to it (and eventually awards) all speak for themselves. So I feel I don’t need to anymore. For Evita, audiences
