Death of a Salesman hitting over $2 million/week with only 7 performances is truly insane. I'm assuming they'll announce recoupment before closing.

I actually think it's driving away people who regularly go to the theatre. The amount of 40% off sale ads I've been seeing for shows is a bit concerning. I think the World Cup crowd is more likely to see The Lion King and call it a day, which leaves more recent musicals in a precarious position.

Has Saheem directed a good Shakespeare in the Park?Also, I can't imagine sitting through a three hour R&J and then having to sit through a wedding.

“I think don’t realize how political Tonys are. Touring voters will vote for the show that will sell best in their market. It’s not about what’s deserving. It’s also how many co producers on a show vote for their own show.Ragtime has already announced a tour. It has commercial edge though it’s not the most thought provoking revival."I feel like “road voter” myth has been debunked many times now. Plenty of things that don’t read as touring hits on paper have won musical and r...

I didn't see a previous thread going for this show yet and I haven’t heard much buzz. The play is an intimate gem from the 80s, later adapted into a film in ‘94. The play itself is about a date between two lonely coworkers at a law firm. It’s a simple set up, but I found it a lovely piece of writing and really enjoyed the way the play slowly reveals its characters. Great direction and a beautiful performance from Corey Stoll. However, I cannot believe everyone isn’t talking about the wonder t...

Sauja said: "Brad and Janet as leads in Rocky Horror is very surprising to me!Am I right that because Alden Ehrenreich isn't above title and nothing was noted, that means he's officially Featured for Becky Shaw?Correct. For all Second Stage shows, all company members are listed below the title.

These are the expanded and revised orchestrations. I think the album sounds pretty great for a live album. The mix feels good and both leads sound great. Can't believe they recorded and mixed this in less than a month!

My guess is a commercial West End transfer from the Royal Court.

I grabbed a $32 rush ticket for this at the box office at about 6 last night and got a great seat in the second to last row of center orchestra. My only complaint about the seat was that I was right in front of a bunch of creatives and one was typing notes pretty loudly on their computer. As for the show itself, I really enjoyed myself. I was recommended this show by a few friends who saw it in the West End and were effusive in their recommendations. I probably didn’t like it as much as they ...

I must admit the Beaches numbers are higher than I was anticipating. Not great, obviously.

I saw a couple reports on reddit, but none on here so just thought I’d share my two cents. I really enjoyed this for the most part. I’ve seen a few August Wilson plays at this point and really enjoy any opportunity to see his incredible plays live. The use of language and imagery and magical realism is all so delicious to me. We’ve also got Ruben Santiago-Hudson, who is somewhat of an August Wilson whisperer, giving an incredible performance here and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up wit...

Lindsey Ferrentino stop adapting documentaries for the stage challenge.I saw this last night and thought it was fine. I had heard that cell phone ringing had been a problem throughout previews so I'm thrilled I didn't hear a single phone go off. I had mixed feelings about the show itself. It's definitely a compelling true story, but i don't know that it's compellingly dramatized. So much of this play is direct address which I find to be a rather boring way to present a play--I much prefer the...

Looks like it.https://studioseaview.com/show/well-ill-let-you-go/

Looks like their Instagram is teasing a return. Loved this last year and may just have to go back.https://www.instagram.com/p/DV8xVTdgAg-/

Loved this back in 2018 Off-Broadway. It’s not life-changing but the music is excellent and it’s a very bittersweet musical. I think Platt is perfect for the role—a gay crooner in the 60s in his feelings. I’m tempted to cross the pond. It’s set in a nightclub and plays out a la Hedwig with a concert in a club and dramatic moments interspersed.

Couldn’t this theoretically go into the Jones? Another two-person musical did quite well there a few years ago.

Loved this the other night. This play has truly aged like a fine wine. The performances are across the board impeccable with Cynthia Nixon really walking away with the show. June Squibb is pitch perfect and Danny Burstein will break your heart. I was also impressed with Christopher Lowell in a challenging role. I thought there was a bit of “uncanny valley” in his performance. His voice and movement were very effective to me. As a fan of him in last year’s Cult of Love, this role is very diffe...

Agree with Kad. Also, for the last decade or so, all of the best musicals were coming from Off-Broadway (Hamilton, Fun Home, DEH, The Band’s Visit, A Strange Loop, Kimberly Akimbo), but with the non-profits struggling since the pandemic, they’re really looking for musicals that already have investors attached who are willing to pour money into these projects/nonprofits. It’s too expensive otherwise. These organic Off-Broadway hits feel like a thing of the past. These types of shows also typic...

I guess it doesn’t matter much, but I saw this tonight and had a great time. It was essentially her as Alexa (the Amazon assistant) airing out her grievances of being a digital assistant. There was lots of audience participation which were probably my favorite bits of the evening. I’ve really missed Ego on SNL and this really made me very happy.
