I wrote this tribute to Tim Curry after I found out about his passing today: I know Tim Curry was much more than his role in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but it’s the role that I most associate him with. I believe I first encountered TRHPS once I departed my smallish hometown to attend university in 1985 to finish my last two years of my bachelors degree. There I encountered other students (most of them pursuing degrees in the creative arts) that shared some of my interests (Prince, Stevie ...

Hi. I’ve been away from the Broadway scene for a while (finances), but still getting email updates on this thread. I’m glad he’s gone, but wondering why there wasn’t more uproar (I know there was some, but she still did her run, I believe) about Ani’s views (which were heartbreaking for someone like me who was a fan and considered her a queer icon). Was the lesser uproar due to her past identifying as a part of the rainbow, because her comments weren’t as consistent & emphatic, because she wa...

My budget sadly hasn’t allowed for a NYC trip this year (the first time since 2010 I have made it), but I love Butter Midtown and Chez Josephine.

I do not think it is a great show, but I was thoroughly entertained and really found myself caring about Pony Boy and his brothers. Brody Grant's understudy was in for the performance I saw, and I thought that he was outstanding in the role, so this is not a case where a specific performer makes or breaks a show. When you make it back, it is defin...

I’m in the central time zone so just finished watching the three performances. I didn’t hate the HK performance as much as I expected to based on reviews here, but like every other performance I’ve seen from the show, it left me feeling meh about the show. It was cool seeing Hilty and Simard introduce the performance & I thought Michelle was fine, but somehow when I saw H & S introduce, I thought wow they’re going to have to hurry to get out there only to realize that was all we were going to...

Just saw on the news that bad weather could impact the parade. I’m assuming that at some point over the years inclement weather has forced the parade to be canceled or postponed. Am I correct? Anyone know? Details? I’m wondering if the Broadway shows which I believe have to pay to participate are reimbursed if the parade is nixed? Or would they transition to showing a production from inside their respective theatres?

I believe they did this with the out-of-town Tootsie pre-Broadway run too. Don’t see it as hurting anything.

My thoughts on the shows:& Juliet - I really enjoyed this. If I had room for one more show on my trip next month, I’d probably choose this. However. with no set pieces and if I hadn’t heard the intro or didn’t know about the show, I’m not sure I would have realized it was a Broadway show. Not sure how many tickets this will sell, but then again they are having no problem packing them in now. Back to the Future - This reminded me of something you’d expect to see at an amusement park.

JoeW4 said: "^I can't speak with authority about whether or not the production you saw was abridged. But I will say that part of what makes The Flick so long are the long periods of silence, which can vary significantly from production to production. Again I don't know for a fact, but I would wager that they didn't abridge the script, just performed it more quickly."Not sure why I thought I saw an abridged version. I’ve looked in various places and that is not mentioned. So I guess I did see ...

BoringBoredBoard40 said: "People complained about the length, but nothing happening ect, subscribers walked out midshow and complained, the artistic director wrote a letter defending it, the length ect ...and then it won the Pulitzer (not saying the last part will happen here) but that review just snapped me back to when all that happened."I saw The Flick in London and I’m pretty sure I saw an abridged version? I loved it, by the way.

Not sure if this is the most recent thread or most relevant, but it appears to be from my search. I’m going to be in NYC in December. Hamilton is my favorite show & my first time seeing it was in 2015 with the OBC. I’ve seen it 6 more times since (3 x in Chicago, 3 x on tour in OKC). After seeing it with OBC, I’ve been hesitant to see it again on Broadway. I know that OBC was lightening in a bottle, but I’m a big fan of Miquel Cervantes from seeing him 3 x in the Chicago production. Any advic...

BossBroadway said: "While I do think Kimberly Akimbo's sales will rise up significantly, I see it having a similar outcome as A Strange Loop in that it sees a boost and then falls off after about 8-12 weeks. Whoever said KA costs 400k per week is wrong; it is 570k, a much higher number than many thought. I see it lasting through at least September, maybe January if it holds it out a little longer. The reason I say this is because Tony viewership has been significantly down since the mid 2010s...

Jumpin_J said: "Yes, congrats to the show. It will join the cluster of "niche" shows like A Strange Loop and The Band's Visit of shows that won the Tony, didn't make money, and will likely close by February. That's just a fact. The show has rarely broken $600K weekly and I'm sure it costs at least that much just to keep the lights on. Will they get a bump from Sunday? Probably, but not a long lasting one. David Stone who produced Wicked has deep pockets and wanted that Tony. Well he got it at...

Training staff today. Trying to keep it together until tonight. I predict a good cry in my hotel room tonight. No words suffice to describe her impact on me & the world.

Seems like forever since ArtMan posted? Anyone know how they are?

Just received an email with discount code for Wicked:FIYERO for $10 off on TodayTix. Not much, but I guess it’s something.

I like Bond 45 post-show. Also, if still open that late now, I like the upstairs bar at Sardi’s.
