They gave much more lax rules for cast and crew as well. It’s been incredibly unsettling to hear about. I don’t know how the unions are allowing some of the stuff going on.

Alright, if Funny Girl doesn’t go to the Broadway, then what does? It’s not a house that stays dormant for long.

I know they were casting an emergency replacement who was supposed to begin rehearsing right when things closed down. The issue being Presley’s age, apparently. The intention was to recast the role but then COVID….

I’ve been told mid-November projected dates and am assuming that’s still accurate until hearing otherwise. No idea why this show is taking so much longer to announce than others but I’m not worried about it returning. There are a number of moving pieces here, like the very high number of cast members (and their youth, yes) and technical aspects like the rain system. The rumble may need to be reworked without the rain depending on COVID protocols.

The League is currently meeting with DeBlasio’s office. Expect your announcement soon.

The only people in theaters right now are cleaning staff and stagehands of shows that have yet to open. Shows in rehearsals won’t have cast for another hour+, and these types of huge announcement almost always are in front of the entire company as a whole. "There are shows that do extended Thursday work calls ...

Miles: they’ve completely closed my grandmother’s home to visitors. Said it’s too risky, because of the asymptomatic period. And they’re not wrong. Especially considering a number of people on this thread think her son should just keep going to work to put on their shows, despite the risk of these crowded buildings, despite the risk of transit, just so they can keep consuming them. Not being able to visit our family members is awful. When Broadway closes, I’ll have three family members out of...

So much for this being a rumor that started on reddit..... This is different from coming on the boards to discuss casting theories and shows that might open. Why anyone thought people would “invent” this rumor is beyond comprehension.

I’m glad to see someone else enjoys the faster tempos as well! I’ve seen it twice and the first time I thought that perhaps I was misremembering the original tempos. But they definitely serve to drive things along. I think that’s a highlight of this production that is easily overlooked. Agree about Yessenia as Anita. My biggest issue was “A Boy Like That/I Have a Love.” Shereen’s voice is sublime, including in that number, but there is no way to blend it with Yessenia’s very, VERY different s...

Love the sentiment here. I know he does 6 a week (still no marinees due to his continued recovery), and I don’t think him having the odd extra night off is unusual beyond that. I’m much more interested in the message. And that if you’re NOT able to give that performance, someone else goes on who is, because that’s what the audience deserves. Yeah, he should have gotten more recovery time, but could we have survived an even LONGER preview period?

As RuPaul famously said, "Unless they're paying your rent, pay them b!tches no mind".If Love Never Dies ever comes to Broadway, I'll be booking the two shows back-to-back."I will absolutely be doing the same! I get a lot of flack for loving this show for much, but why should other people get to decide w...
