“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

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&r

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

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 h

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

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 hi

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

I’m definitely in the minority here, but I quite enjoyed this.  I think I was primed to like this—a casual fan of the play who enjoyed the LCT production a few years ago, but has no attachment to the source material.  It is certainly not perfect.  It’s a weird and quirky musical which we don’t see a lot of in this day and age. That combined with an exceptional score made this a win for me.  Having the orchestra on both sides of the stage really
