Re: DOWNSTATE - Broadway (Booth) - Colón-Zayas, Freeman & Sadoski

For something like this, they could probably navigate it fine as long as they're off-book, but for a musical can be super dangerous."This is why it's virtually impossible to have an understudy go on at the first preview. The only way an understudy can be ready during previews is by essentially have that full day be ...

Re: Roundabout’s FULL MONTY Revival Cancelled/Postponed?

Dan6 said: "Fordham2015 said: "FYI the Roundabout subscriber email says that performances begin on Saturday, April 3."Noticed that too, but both the Roundabout website and all the press releases say April 7th, so I'm guessing the email was a typo.

ACL2006 said: "Sad to hear The Full Monty is dead. Benjamin Button has been rumored of transferring for awhile. I guess it's just a matter of what theater. And The Heart isn't a lock to transfer now? Shocking considering it's selling well and the word-of-mouth is strong."Full Monty likely isn't dead, just pushed to a future season. I still think The Heart transfer will happen, but with Roundabout switching up their Spring season (meaning Monty being postponed), it's a little less clear on if ...

Re: early Tony award predictions 2027

Fred Mason said: "Downstate really ought to be considered a new play. And it should win Best Play."I actually suspect it will be. To me, this feels a lot like when Between Riverside and Crazy finally had its Broadway premiere and was (rightfully) considered a new play. With the same lead actors reprising their earlier work and only being 4 years since it was at Playwrights, even though it's a new staging, my guess is this will still be considered new.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "This is not a reason why any show would be postponed at a major institution.It’s easy to assume they hit a snag with creative development or casting or with Leigh Silverman’s schedule."Roundabout has a history of working with Diane Paulus and ART, so it makes sense they would be in partnership on this transfer. While I'm not 100% certain of their financial situation right now, Rhinoceros is also going to be 10 times cheaper to produce than Monty will be. Add all...

Re: OTHER DESERT CITIES 2026 Previews

MadsonMelo said: "Wonder if Janney can repeat Judith Light's Tony win? I won't be able to see this production as I'm only goin on may to NY."She could, but one thing to note is that it's only 15 years since the original, which means a good number of these voters saw Light and still have that interpretation in their head. So, she's going to really have to go above and beyond to overcome their presumed love for and probably bias towards the original performance.

My favorite part is how she complains about how offensive the show's marketing is to highlight a play laughing at folks with disabilities (which, for the record, is totally false) but then chooses to see it anyway. As if any further proof was needed to show that she was simply there to make a scene and get content for her Insta.

Shouldn't the weather gods striking down today's game be a sign to them that this revival is a bad idea?

Re: Next Gender Blind Casting?

Sep 10, 2026 — 1:49:23 PM

Own Little Corner said: "A female Billy Flynn would be amazing, and I say this as someone who isn't too crazy about Chicago."It's an interesting idea, but as I recall, a college did an (almost) all female Chicago production a while ago and the one caveat to get the rights was that Billy still had to be played by a man (Kander et al were fine with all the other male roles being gender swapped, but not that one). So, unless their opinion has changed since, it seems unlikely we'll ever get this.

Can we just give a quick shout-out to Ann Roth--94 years old and still designing a new Broadway play??

How did The Lost Boys lose to Schmigadoon??

Aug 30, 2026 — 9:19:07 AM

So, what happened was, 850 people cast their votes for Best Musical at the Tony Awards. And, of those 850, more voted for Schmigadoon than The Lost Boys. Therefore, Schmigadoon was awarded the Tony for Best Musical over The Lost Boys. Hope that clears things up for you.

Re: We need another Gypsy revival

The only Gypsy revival that is acceptable for the next decade is Harvey Fierstein as Rose with Ginger Minj as Louise.

Re: Would the HADESTOWN film be Oscar-eligible?

I can't imagine any scenario in which this is declared eligible. But even if it was, I also can't imagine any scenario where Andre would win Best Supporting Actor this year for it.

John Adams said: "For all the emphasis on "history", there's another element that hasn't been touched on, and I'm not sure ALW would be pleased."You're not wrong about the score no longer tieing directly into the world of the show. But given ALW a) had to sign off on any changes b) contributed to the new orchestrations and c) has routinely showed up at the show including being a "guest DJ", I think it's safe to say that he was in fact pleased with it.

Re: HOME, I'M DARLING & PERFECT ARRANGEMENT and other works that serve as unexpected companion pieces

Jul 19, 2026 — 7:57:18 PM

The early 2000s in particular tended to have multiple plays about the same subject happening at the same time in New York. David Hare acknowledged The Vertical Hour and Stuff Happens (both about the Iraq War) are supposed to be companion pieces and both ran in 2006. Similarly, after 9/11, both The Mercy Seat and The Guys were running.And the opposite of this: Don't forget when Wicked and Boy From Oz opened within a month of each other, how many (tourists) saw Wicked and then wrongly assumed B...

An Open Letter To Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber

That's not how any of this works. Broadway is a business, not a non-profit or a charity. If they feel a cast recording will make profit, they'll make one. If they don't, they won't. It's really as simple as that.
