Ben Platt & Rachel Zegler - THE LAST FIVE YEARS (NYC/LA)

Once again, I guess I am in the minority. Looking forward to this. Mostly because JRB will be directing and conducting.

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES To Close January 4, 2026

I mean can you all take your victory lap now?
It is no secret I liked the show (and obviously am in the small, small minority on that), but do we have to keep dancing on the grave?
I feel like this entire thread proves the entire point of Arden’s post (as well as others on the cast/creative team).
I think most of the criticisms of the show are valid and wouldn’t challenge those at all. I just find it extremely strange that t

ART has recouped on Broadway
Dec 15 2025, 02:57:15 PM
I’m sure someone has already asked and answered this, but do shows announce recoupment as soon as it happens?
Just curious on if this means that last week was the week where they hit recoupment, which would only leave this week of performances as “profit.” I know recoupment is a win in any case these days, but seems crazy to think that they barely made it back with this cast and hardly will make the inventors money on top of their investment.

Kristin posted that she suffered a backstage fall after the show on Thursday that injured her knees and neck. She says that she plans to go back in today after working with a PT but that things may look a bit different.

Anyone else have sound issues in the loge? We sat in the last row this past weekend and the sound felt so muted and honestly distracted from the show. I’ve never had volume be an issue for me at any show so was taken aback.
Other than that (somewhat major) issue for us, I really struggled to enjoy this until the final 10 minutes when it hit like a ton of bricks. I’ve never seen a production of Ragtime live before, but have listened to th

I was totally ready to hate this show (I thought Redwood was a flaming pile of dog mess) but I wouldn't miss Sherie on Broadway for anything. With that being said...
I... actually kind of liked this show.

I saw this yesterday afternoon and have been searching for what to say. As I’ve previously posted, I am a sucker for a Schwartz score so even the bad word of mouth and reviews couldn’t keep me away.
At the end of the day, I really enjoyed the show. The first act really sucked me in and I personally really enjoyed the opening number, The Ballad of the Timeshare King, and Pretty Wins. The second act is not as successful as I could mostly agree that the show

The story has been streamlined and goes from one banger to another. From one sensational moment to another. There's intrigue and palpable anxienty. The audience is on the edge of their seats wondering what will happen next. The end brings a real emot

Ariana DeBose to lead THE BAKER'S WIFE at Classic Stage Company
Nov 22 2025, 11:09:55 PM
Really loved this. Dated at times? Yes. But the immersive experience kept me pulled in. While I could agree with the lack of material for the baker’s wife in act two, I actually enjoyed getting more from the other townspeople. Well-crafted show that is tightly directed. Not sure it would do great uptown, but would love to get a definitive cast recording made at the very least!

CoffeeBreak said: "SingingEachtoEach said: "I saw this recently and I think the strong performances from the two performers, particularly Tutty, really carry the show. I don't think it's quote Maybe Happy Ending level, but it's charming and creative and I enjoyed it a lot."
We enjoyed it more than Maybe Happy Ending and found the performers more compelling."
Shocking to hear that from you!

Haven’t seen it yet (might on our upcoming trip), but I wonder how much of it is that it’s just coming in at the wrong time. Maybe all those questions had great answers years ago. Something about the premise (and honestly a new Schwartz score) draws me in but these reports are making me reconsider.

Does the tempo seem much slower than when Kristin sang this song with Stephen at her concert a while back? I think I prefer that version of the song over this one.
