CHESS Sets June 21 Closing

I might attend the closing performance if I can get an affordable ticket closer to. I had fun back in January when I went.

But i wasn’t a fan of the costumes, or the choreo. The entire ensemble did look in synch.  I also felt the orchestra could’ve been more in your face. Maybe it’s the arrangement


Beetle juice or Hadestown or Moulin Rouge London

hadestown by far. The fact that Beetlejuice is using the touring set is such a shame. The broadway set was so cool and it’s what made the show so enjoyable. The touring set just feels incredibly cheap.

I do hope it extends so I can make a trip for Evita and still catch this!

aladdin might’ve been a success but it’s a cheap production. the set looks like cardboard boxes

I think Kristin Wiig or Aidy Bryant would be fabulous Abrahams as well lol

Will Disney bring Hercules to Broadway?

Merkin2 said: "Frozen is genuinely one of the worst musicals I’ve ever seen. I hated Aladdin and think I’d rank Frozen even lower. Julie Taymor said she was only going to do The Lion King if it was pure theater and they need to goback to that. I would think someone like Alex Timbers would be a pretty good director for a Disney show given how he excels at spectacle. Maybe they can do another out of town of Hercules with another director"

 

Yes


Will Disney bring Hercules to Broadway?

The set, costumes, and book are not great. it’s serviceable but i don’t think they should bring it until it’s ready. Like aladdin, it’s watered down with eliminating the animal characters, and cutting Pain and Panic. the characters bob and charles are the most unfathomable changes disney has made.

I liked Frozen, they need to work on creating disney magic. Aladdin looks incredibly cheap. 


Moulin Rouge to Close on Broadway

Sutton Ross said: "Broadwaygirl202 said: "I’ve heard that Dolly is going into the Hirshfeld. I saw it last year and it needs a lot of work. I don’t know if they’ve done any work with Dolly being sick recently."

I doubt it's going anywhere after Nashville's presentation anytime soon.
"

honestly once they cut the whole first act and give KRC more material, it’ll be chefs kiss 


CHESS (2025 Broadway Revival) Reviews

quizking101 said: "To my understanding, their breakeven is around $900K - and they’ve been making twice that and then some on a weekly basis.

I know from experience that I’ve looked at the Telecharge map on the day of the show (usually to explore possible discounts or rush options) and while it looks half full at the start of the day, by showtime, the house is almost nearly full.

One pattern I notice is that, the closer you get to showtime, especiall


MASQUERADE Previews Thread

Theatrefanboy1 said: "Anyone know Hugh Panaros scheduled time? is it still the 7:30 show? Thanks"

I believe so. We had tickets to the 7:30 pulse on Wednesday Jan 14th however we had Christine and Phantom understudies, Tia and Cooprr who were also fantastic 


DOLLY

Went again last night, and there are noticeable changes.  The bridge has been cut entirely, along with the act two opener. Jolene now opens act two.


Bio musicals have some built in problems with living legends

hyangsoo said: "Anyone have an update on where the musical currently is? How much has changed since the first preview?"

Hi!  I was at the first preview and returned this afternoon!  They did shave some it down, and the most noticeable changes to me were:

The opening.  Preshow the stage looked like Dolly's dressing room but it's now bare.  KRC also opened the show first preview with her finale outfit I think.  Now, she is dresse


Dolly Parton Broadway Bio Musical aiming for Spring 2025

Saw the show last night snd it ran three hours. Obviously, it’s a work in progress but it has a lot of heart. KRC really surprised me, especially in act two, she sounded just like Dolly. Here’s the song list

Act one:

"Opening"

"My Mountains, My Home"

"Bigger Than Life"

"Partners"

"Thy Will Be Done/If I Had Wings"

"Uncle Billy"

"Puppy Love"

"


Disney’s HERCULES will transfer to the West End in 2025

Who decided to change Pain and Panic to characters named Bob and Charles? They deserve to be blacklisted from working in this industry. Like why would you think that is a good idea…


Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know?

It’s less than a week from Milo and Liz’s last show so it’s either them extending again or understudies covering fri a few weeks because the new cast would be in rehearsals by now 


SMASH Original Broadway Cast Recording Thread

I haven’t seen the show yet, but as a fan of the show who watched weekly as it aired, i’m not sure how i feel about the upbeat version of let me be your star.  i know it’s part of the plot that its being worked out but its just not satisfying. when we finally get to hear the ballad version, its not even ivy.  i think the idea is good but it just doesn’t work for me.
