Thanks so much for both of your responses. Do either of you think this would work successfully today as a limited engagement around the holidays? Based on both of you, it sounds like there's promise, if it could be slightly reworked. I wonder if recent productions have attempted such revisions. Nostalgia is capital around the holidays and most of the holiday limited engagements are far from revolutionary but, rather, are largely pre-packaged fun. Perhaps in a smaller theatre it could work.

Curious if anyone on the board ever got to see the short-lived Broadway production of MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS that ran from Nov 1989 - Jun 1990 at the Gershwin. Love watching this movie around the holiday and was interested to see if it had ever been adapted. And, wouldn't ya know it? Seems like it had some merit in that it was nominated for Tonys for Best Musical, Book (Hugh Wheeler) and Original Score. But, I'm assuming part of the reason it didn't last was that holiday-esque musicals don't te...

That "no extra cost" email is a bunch of bunk. I bought my tickets directly from the box office a few months before the run. Last row balcony. $49 each. Apparently, after the purchase, the production released a new pricing structure increasing the price for the same seats to $79. When I finally got through to the Hudson (after dozens of calls), I was told to either pay the upcharge or go jump in a lake.

Bumping one final time. Voting ends tonight at midnight. If you can spare a vote for Erin, please do. Thanks for your patience, all.

Bump numero deux. Voting runs thru Sunday. If you can, please bring a little light into a the life of another theatre lover. Everyone could use a dose of good karma.

Yes, I did receive the buck slip. I was just more so mystified by the mechanics of it all.

Apologies if this has been previously discussed. I attempted to comb the other threads and couldn't find a direct answer. This is a question to all those who have see The Inheritance Part 1, specifically regarding the finale. Since it does contain some spoiler content, I have included my inquiry below.

Evening, all. Bumping for the sake of fellowship. If anyone has a free couple of seconds to vote for my friend - an ardent supporter of Broadway yet one who, unfortunately, rarely gets to visit - it would be appreciated more than you could know. Thanks!

Good Evening, BWW. Please pardon the blatant shillery but a good friend of mine is a finalist in the Broadway.com “Broadway’s Biggest Fan” contest. She is, undoubtedly, a fervent fan of the theatre but lives too far away to enjoy with any measure of regularity. So, if there’s anything I can do to help get her there, I’m gonna do it. You can find her submission video at the link below. She is the raven-haired girl with the fair complexion. And her video, if I do say so, is pretty fantastic.Of ...

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Extraordinary. Really couldn’t have chosen better.

Let me preface this by saying I'm very aware that, in the macrocosm, this is a terribly trivial concern. However, I must say I'm very disappointed with how ATG/Plaza Suite have handled this situation. After 48 hours and 70+ calls to the box office, I finally got through to a representative who attempted (albeit barely) to assist in an exchange of my tickets. In November, I had purchased two $59 tickets to a preview performance of Plaza Suite. It seems, since then, that the producers/company u...

You'll get your wish next year, Jordan. Per her bio in my Playbill from 11/14, she's got a new album due out in 2020.

Universal has Harry Potter which won the Tony for its innovative play and Disney just scraped through it makes me sad.Except Universal has nothing to do with Cursed Child. They merely own the theme park rights to "Harry Potter." Warner Brothers owns the film rights. And neither studio is involved with Cursed Child. The play is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Colin Callender and Harry Potter Theatrical Productions (which consists of J.K. Rowling herself and Neil Blair.)

Am I wrong in being let down that the Banana Boat bit was sung instead of lip-synched? I understand it's a musical and you have trained singers on stage and to do so might be a waste of resources. But, in my opinion, half of the humor in that scene from the movie is that - out of nowhere - Harry Belafonte's voice comes bellowing out of Delia's mouth. And, little by little, as her body movies he slowly inhabits the rest of her. I can appreciate the need for a director to want to add his own sp...

Will. Chase. Could we have gotten more of a Wonder Bread decision?

Also joining the production is esteemed British theatre director David Leveaux.Press release to hit today.

Correct, it gave me best available.I'm side Balcony, but closer to the middle.Really, I was OK with almost anything. Heh.

Sort of surprised how simple that was.For whatever reason, I couldn't search by price level in March or April. But, May worked just fine.Weirdly enough it said there were no avails in the $80+ range. But I snagged a couple of $40 seats.I've sat last row in the old Lyric and it didn't bother me. Just happy I was able to get in at all, really.

Anyone on the boards ever get to see her in the role (or maybe some footage)?I'm ashamed to say I had no idea she ever played it and I find the idea fascinating.She certainly had the brassy persona.Would love to hear some stories.

Realized yesterday that, with ON THE TOWN and ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY in the Best Musical Revival category at the TONYs this year, we have two Comden & Green shows vying for the same prize. I can't recall the last time this happened but surely this isn't the first instance. Can anyone recall the last time two shows by the same writers/composers were up against each other for awards?
