Timon3 said: "Wow Broadway in Hollywood hoovers everything up, remorselessly. I had a feeling that The Outsiders would’ve announced as a late addition for the Ahmanson, like &Juliet did, the reason for this is because their current season is appalling, so thought they pull a rabbit out of the hat - but I was very wrong. It just means that the Center Theater Group has to look harder for shows and unearth gems like Everyone is Talking About Jamie, which I loved, period. I saw it seven times.The...

Possibly so!But I’m a little torn, because their subscriber base also leans older, which isn’t a problem with Jersey Boys or Just in Time, but definitely makes the crowd for Oh, Mary! a little less raucous.

Hate her? I actually love Lea Michele! The Ragtime OBC is one of my favorite casts ever, and I was a huge fan of her on Glee.

I figured she just hated karaoke because she would have to read the words on the screen.,-)

I’m so sad to have missed out on one of the Phantom candles they were selling a couple years ago. I did get a piece of the Majestic floor, but dang I wanted that candle!!

I just got a text from Broadway in Hollywood announcing their announcement…March 5thHopefully they’ve snagged something awesome to keep us waiting so much longer than most of the nation.

Easily the 2nd worst Broadway show I’ve ever seen; only surpassed by “Contact”. “Mamma Mia!” made jukebox musicals look so effortless…

Thanks for the tip!That’s my husband’s all time favorite movie and I love Marc and Bette! Every now and then, it’s nice to live in LA!

OP - I am the first to side with anyone calling these boards reactive and sometimes toxic. That being said; you posed the question. From what I read, a vast majority of the answers all seemed to be based on fact or based on not being able to accurately predict the theatre market 25 years from now. I didn’t see a “woke” mob descending on you. If you’re going to pose a click-bait question like your title suggests; you should expect the (typically very well educated) members of this board to ans...

I gotta say…. I absolutely LOVE that none of us are talking about the show and instead are doing the usual BroadwayWorld bickering. the hostess with the not-mostess really dropped the ball!

Apparently Kelsey Grammer and Laura Osnes we’re the Broadway “stars” to salute Michael Crawford. I love Phantom and Michael is a huge part of that love, and this bull**** awards ceremony breaks my heart. If I still had Spotify, I’d block his music from being played; but perhaps it’s me that was played all along.

That could literally be said for every show that has a different seating configuration and pretty much EVERY show that has exit doors located in the auditorium. haters gonna hate…

The set has been the thing most interesting part of this show for me; but the Sherie announcement changed all of that. Sherie is very popular with millennial Broadway fans, but obviously nowhere near Chenowith in terms of name recognition. I hope and think Sherie’s shows will sell very well!

Can anyone think of other examples in the last 15-20 years that come close? There must be some but nothing comes to mind."Personally, I don't see Beanie being in the same conversation, because I feel like she was trying to give a good performance. Billy Porter just seems to be off the rails, and not doing anything positive fo...
