Did anybody ask the theater employees about the cast recording? I've had some luck in the past getting info that way. I'm still cautiously optimistic that something will be announced after the LA run. It seems strange, as someone said, that they would not want to capture this updated version.

Why would they go out of the gate with that?"Sure. I just figure there's no word of mouth without people in the seats. And I'm mostly noting the change over time - as I specifically recall buying a discounted seat to Book of Mormon prior to previews in 2011.There used to be much more of a defaul...

This may be a stupid question, but why do so many "seriously undersold" shows now not use discount codes? Compared to when I first started making regular trips to NYC and following all of this closely in the late 2000's, discount codes seem far less common.

Bunch of positive takes @ Reddit r/Broadway. Good to hear.

Looking forward to reading thoughts from anyone going in the next few nights!Debating about this and a couple others for a Thanksgiving week trip.

Nothing overtly political, satirical, or absurdly theatrical. Overhyped or not, I can confidently bring folks to this whereas withLehman, Leopoldstadt, and Ferryman (hell, even Cursed Child) was asking a lot that I didn't feel ...

As a public service to those who are curious (I've seen posts about it on Reddit), I was going to list all the similarities to Fleetwood Mac. But honestly, it would be easier to list things that aren't the same!Lindsey Buckingham's brother was even an Olympic swimmer! Which is a truly *insane* detail to include if you do not want to end up cutting a check to the Mac, lol.

Yeah. I think it might depend on your level of knowledge about FM. I have read a couple of books on the band/making of Rumours. If you have that level of knowledge going in, then it is very possible to both enjoy it very much AND wonder if it was a little overhyped. That's sort of where I landed.This hasn't been done on Broadway before, but has been done in other media. For instance, the book "Daisy Jones and the Six" (which I also very much enjoyed) was in large part this play in book form. ...

Not sure why three of them had to be British."The short answer is that despite the playwright's denials, this is straight-up 100% inspired by Fleetwood Mac, period. And that needs to be the breakdown in the band. "Christine" has to have been an original British member along with "Mick" and "John."And before everybody gets all mad at me, I'm not calling the show a rip-off or anythi...

I do wonder how much closing notice they'll give! But I might as well buy ahead to help their advance, and then would just get a refund anyway.

Thanks! I'm strongly leaning this way.We have tix to Suffs, Wicked, and then Merrily (just for the adults). I just want some fun this trip, and can't bring myself to be excited about Hell's Kitchen, Illinoise or Outsiders. Maybe if one of them nabs Best Musical....

For those of you who found it "tedious" (that seems to be the most common criticism), are you generally fans of this genre/topic?My favorite movie of all time is Almost Famous, and I'm a big Fleetwood Mac fan. So I'm *guessing* I'm not going to be bored?!

Thinking about making this a full-family show if it's still open when we're there at the end of the month. My daughters are 8 and 11, and both love musicals. Don't care about some sex jokes (which often go over their heads) or profanity. Both of them loved & Juliet, and thought this might be in the same wheelhouse..... anyone have thoughts?

BETTY22 said: "Heart did not expect any TONY nominations and budgeted accordingly.The have enough money in reserve to get them to June when tourists arrive.GOOD PRODUCING......"I don't have any knowledge of that, but it makes sense. I made this point when people were claiming the Tony noms would doom Lempicka and HoRR. I said Lempicka sure, but HoRR? I mean, how silly would you have to be, as a producer, to have thought that it would be a Tony factor? It may still close, but not because of th...

The day they announce closing means very little. It doesn't look any worse today v any other day. A flop is a flop. Getting Tony noms MIGHT have given them a reason to get more money to sustain."So many thoughts.First, who the heck are these investors, generally? If you are putting money into a **Broadway show** — and tru...

The original did recoup.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but...What is the general sentiment about Broadway Series around the country charging the same or more for non-Equity vs. Equity tours?I have to assume they're *paying* less for Non-Equity (otherwise, why would producers be so keen to see these tours proliferate?) I know that producers of the arts need all the money they can get now. But I can't shake my general irritation about money going into the pockets of companies, while artists and consumers don...

bananamilk said: "Am I losing it or was Lorna sharp for that entire performance?! None of the comments on the youtube video mention this so I can't tell if it's just me being crazy 😭"Oh you are definitely correct. It was very painful at the end. Really, no YouTube commenters mention it?

hearthemsing22 said: "My comment is absolutely NO reflection on how good the show is, because I love it so much. I've seen it the most out of any new musical this season. Trust me, I love it! But the competition is STRONG. So I was just curious."Oh yeah, didn't mean to imply that! I second your thoughts completely.I'm in the minority, I realize, but I loved both & Juliet and Shucked far more than KA... so if KA sweeps on Tony night it'll be a little disappointing/dull for me. Not that that sh...
