KevinKlawitter said: "Rumors on the other threads were that Patrick Wilson was going to be Captain Von Trapp. Maybe his contract hasn't been finalized yet."This is also my main takeaway from the press release (other than the Seven Guitars revival!) -- hopefully he hasn't pulled out. I'm really looking forward to his Georg.

Lost Boys, Jellicle, and Schmigadoon all have a lot of availability. If any of these shows saw a move in sales, it doesn’t seem substantial or immediate."Rocky Horror looks very well-sold for the week, although perhaps that was already the case pre-Tonys.

Really feel like they should've done "New Music." The prologue just fell flat in abbreviated form.

Re: Dratch's nom, I saw her post-opening and she had the audience eating out of her hand -- batting every call-out back with aplomb. I think her performance might wildly vary based on the volume of call-outs in the audience (if no one had been talking, it probably would've been pretty monotonous), and that might impact people's perception of the performance.

BoringBoredBoard40 said: "I can't imagine the handful of Monday night shows are going ahead this evening, it is a total mess out right now"TodayTix is refusing an exchange or refund for my ticket to tonight's show of The Fever. Really frustrating - there's absolutely no way I can get to the West Village tonight.

2pm mat of Bug is doing a "snow day sale," with $45 tix (MTCJL is the code)

Byrne just announced late spring tour dates, so it seems his team gave up on trying to secure the St. James.

Has anyone seen this yet? Have tix for Friday and I'm looking forward.

Hi all - just saw the news about the Wicked OBCR going quadruple platinum, which led me to wonder: do any of the original cast members on the recording get residuals from its (obvious) sales success? And if so, is that the norm in general? Like is Norbert Leo Butz getting checks every few months? Or do all of the proceeds go to producers/Schwartz/etc. Just curious!

When I saw The Thin Place, the word was correctly guessed by an audience member — and I gasped, shocked, but no one else seemed surprised that this person guessed it. I was embarrassed, ngl. Also Hangmen for me, although I know many people “saw it coming” - I also figured it out before the reveal, and gasped during an unrelated scene — turning heads and again making a fool of myself! I also remember audible screams at Gloria — but my brain seems to have blocked that play out due to the trauma...

Any reports from tonight?

What's the current run time for this? Seeing it next week and trying to plan my night afterwards. Thanks!

Hearing rumors that Ethan Slater will be in this!

So how does the lotto work? Once you hear your lotto number called, you go up and give them your ticket and then they give you your pair of tickets? Or do you need to verify with your Patron ID? My wife and I are waiting, and we got our two tickets mixed up - we don’t know which Patron ID belongs to which lotto number. Are we screwed?

Anybody currently in the standby line? How’s it looking?

Tonight’s performance was abruptly cancelled at 6:30 via email due to ‘actor illness.’ Had friend who was meant to go - just texted me. Must be that they hadn’t rehearsed the understudy. Still, really sucks to cancel that late - and it sucks the official twitter and Jeremy O Harris didn’t tweet about it.

Sonia Friedman came out beforehand saying that the company had not yet run the full show with tech, nor had they finished teching the end of the play, but that they were going to go for it.There's not a particularly delicate way to put this but.... it was terrible. The direction and production on the whole were so pretentious and unfocused, it's hard to imagine it getting much better. Performances are fine, but it was the first time I...

The transition from Another National Anthem into the Lee Harvey Oswald scene in Assassins. Was done with such theatricality in the original production (less so in the 2004 Broadway staging).

Hey all,Just checked the Armory's website and the price points for the Lehman Trilogy are absolutely bonkers.....$300 is the price for the bulk of the seating in the house? Dear lord. Anybody know of a discount code? Can't afford it otherwise. (Sat very last row at Yerma and felt miles away - so I'm not spending $75 for last row.)Thanks!
