Fred Mason said: "when do Linctix go on sale"Tuesday, I’m just curious about the price range

EDSOSLO858 said: "Tickets for THE IMAGINARY INVALID and THE HEART will go on sale this Wednesday, July 22."Honestly I’m just gonna say it…THE HEART is the only show I’m looking forward to in Roundabout’s season

darquegk said: "Same. And you can tie that legacy even closer to Warhol's ethos when you look at the way Stage Time allies itself to performance art, leftist politics and sexual liberation/active non-monogamy. It's like a genuine counterculture of and for artists is forming again, rather than a series of artists either belonging to or trying to belong to a larger counterculture. We've got freaks again when we need them most."And it’s institutions like Stage Time that I believe will signal the...

I think one solution we may have and I think one I’ve been noticing a lot more in the past few years, is a kind of new golden age renaissance for Off-Broadway…it was, is and has always been the fertile ground where you can make bold daring artistic risks we’ve seen in the past like Jellicle Ball, Mexodus, Oh, Mary!, Weer but even for current and upcoming shows like Guila, Slam Frank, Benjamin Button, Hole!, Midnight, the Spring Awakening revival, Shifters etc. and then keep them off broadway ...

Not sure how reliable that is?"One of the cast members for C:TJB just posted it on their story…and SO reposted it

So apparently I hear Rudin’s producing an adaptation of Billy Bud directed by Ivo Van Hove that’s what’s replacing it

PJ Adzima made a great video that I think really adds to this discussion: I think it’s officially time for a new golden age of off-broadwayhttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DayG4w0Tbbv/

So I also heard Rudin is producing an adaptation of Billy Bud directed by Ivo Van Hove for Broadway as well, I think that's taking the Broadhurst

EDSOSLO858 said: "South Korea is / will be the new Broadway."And how do you know this? What makes South Korea better than Off Broadway or regional theaters or any other theater city in the world?

Fred Mason said: "I think Broadway also has a brand problem as well as a quality problem. Probably the only industry on the planet that tries to keep its premium upscale expensive reputation while simultaneously begging people to come in."Exactly, It's become much harder to market Broadway as a whole especially for newer younger audiences. I'm actually working on writing a series of epic new adult fantasy novels centered around Broadway and the theatre world. Think Ready Player One meets Harr...

I still believe he holds immense power

BwayMusician said: "I really do believe the crux of blame lies on the theater owners in this regard. I frequently point to this Philip Boroff article, where he showed that in the flop of the 23-24 season, Jujamcyn came home with a pure profit of $34 million off a revenue of over $160 million. And they owned far less theaters than Shubert.https://www.broadwayjournal.com/p/jujamcyn-profit-revealed-in-rare-disclosureCan we say that any other cog in the industry is making that much? It's clear th...

EDSOSLO858 said: "This entire industry needs an overhaul, and not just from a monetary perspective.Most likely our landlords simply get greedier, producers simply wring their hands, nothing is done, and all that we're left with are intimate plays and solo shows,a smaller handful of long-runners, and maybe the occasional musical if we're lucky.Remember that Broadway is driven by ego and self-aggrandizement from the top down and has been for over a century."Exactly and they refuse to adapt whic...

Peppa222 said: "The only people who allowed him are the theatre owners. They are the only people who could stop him, but I wouldn't hold your breath."Im not holding my breath. but if it's true the theatre owners on broadway are a big reason why we're in this current crisis we have on broadway right now. Besides I may be wrong, but I believe many of them not only voted but donated a lot of money not only to this current administration but to Israel.

TotallyEffed said: "This will flop hideously but I will be there again!"and I hope it does, I just don't understand who decided it was okay for an abusive, powerful individual like Scott Rudin to return to Broadway producing. I have boycotted LBRR and Death of A Salesman for these reasons and will continue to boycott any production that has his name attached.

rosscoe(au) said: "It all comes down to cost’s. As for federal bailout, that’s not coming under this administration."Not unless we head to the polls on November 3rd

Luminaire2 said: "Andrew Lloyd Webber has released a statement in regards to Cats: The Jellicle Ball closing:https://www.instagram.com/p/DaxlrZWDDHj/So given that, what do you all think needs to happen? What do producers, theatre owners, and unions need to do, to save, nurture, and preserve broadways future?"Ultimately I think there has to be a restructuring of costs and payments across the board from ticket prices to the cost of rent on broadway. I really hope Mayor Mamdani gets involved wit...
