I can assure you this did not happen. They use automation on this show - ie the sets move onto the stage via automation vs stagehands standing behind the set manually moving the set on and off the stage. I suspect there may have been an issue with the automation and thus a plan B was put into place. Several reasons that they would not load out a set piece during the show are- when a show does a load out, they need upwards of 50 stage hands to load out the show - those stage hands report to th...

I am working on this show. It is currently in preview performances until Friday. audiences are loving it.

I saw this in Sydney this past September, It was originally scheduled for a 4 week run but kept getting extended.I think it ended up running for 12 weeks.It was ok. Hopefully with some broadway stars and better sets it will be even better.

I have not seen Tina , But I have seen Beetlejuice and totally recommend it. The sets are great as are the costumes. I hope to see it again on my next trip to NYC. Also you can easily get a rush ticket for Beetlejuice. I turned up at the box office an hour after it opened and was able to get a $43 rush ticket in the 2nd row on the aisle.

It was a HUGE dance number with large gold metallic confetti discs falling throughout much of the number - and they tapped in dishes of coins, which was pretty unique and thrilling! There was even a pre-show warning about how you may need to look for flying coins! Definitely the most successful "reinvention" of the show!The re-orchestrations were a dead rip-off of Katy Perry "Firework," which turned it up quite a few notches and...

I don't remember who played Peggy, but she was simply amazing.I can't even imagine how the production would work without a proscenium setup. The big finish alone where Peggy tapped her a** off and then they lifted the curtain to r...

Looks like E. Sosa redid most of the costumes too and while some were improvements overall I liked the ones in Chicago more. Emick made more sense to me as Julian Marsh than the guy in Drury Lane but Tunie wasn't as strong aBrock as her Ch...

I have been routing for Tommy since day 1, but Im soooo disappointed with the houseguests that he has aligned with. Tonight however he has started to realize that some of his alliance are bullies. I really hope this alliance is split up and he aligns with different players.

I just worked Wardrobe for Les Miz when it was in town. It will be touring at least through 2021 but the Tour Manager has not published the next round of dates as of yet.It sold out every show in Minneapolis so hopefully it will come back before the tour ends.

Has anyone received any e-mail today ?I so hope I am selected I just happen to be in NYC on vacation that week. It would be interesting to know how many entries there were.
