LCT's MAN OF LA MANCHA Concert

Anyone else notice how the role-doubling has changed for this production?  Here, the Governor plays the Barber instead of the Innkeeper, and the Innkeeper's prison actor is the Captain of the Inquisition, who normally doesn't take part in the charade.  I wonder how this will work.


CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Previews

How was rush this morning?


Just in Time - Matt Morrison?

So now Broadway will have three actors from The Bear and two actors from The Pitt this spring.


GIANT Previews

There were 19 in line when the box office opened today.  I was 5th (arrived at 8:38), and I got front row orchestra (said to be one of the last $45 seats, with more discounted at $79).  The seller said the front row may miss Lithgow's face when he's sitting at the desk, but maybe I'm tall enough.


BC/EFA Purchases You Wish You Made

An opening night pie plate from the 2005 Sweeney Todd.


What We Did Before Our Moth Days

Did anyone see the first preview last night?


THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES To Close January 4, 2026

This show may have stopped doing the TodayTix rush.  There was nothing about it on their page this morning.


2026 Grammys

I'm sorry for Dead Outlaw.


GYPSY 2025 Broadway Cast Recording Thread

The CD is scheduled to release today, but I've only seen it on the Rhino website.


2025 Tony Voter Scripts

Does anyone know which shows have sent scripts to the Tony voters this year?  I'm especially interested in if any musicals have done so.


The 78th Annual Tony Award Nominations for 2025

I greatly underestimated how much people liked Death Becomes Her.

I'm disappointed by the lack of support for Operation Mincemeat.  In addition to being a delightful comedy, I think the story it tells and the way it tells that story are what we need at this time in history.


OLD FRIENDS Reviews

After seeing today's matinee, I'd like to see Jeremy and Bonnie do a full-scale production of Sweeney.


DEAD OUTLAW Previews

I just want to know what the reaction was when Elmer hearsthat distantwhistle early on and tells his cronies,“Alright boys… let’s go rob that ****in’ train.”

DEAD OUTLAW Previews

I saw Dead Outlaw twice last spring and thought it was terrific.  I was at the first preview tonight, and right now I feel I liked it more then.  I'm not sure if I preferred the smaller venue or if I overhyped the show in my head over the last year of waiting to see it again (especially after seeing Operation Mincemeat and wondering which of those two shows I liked more).  Nevertheless, it's still one of the best musicals since the pandemic by a


Tony Awards Race

chrishuyen said: "So that also means the entire casts of English, Purpose, and Buena Vista are all considered featured. I've been hearing a lot about Natalie Venetia Belcon, do people think she's the frontrunner there? (Depending on how the Pirates rulings go I guess).
 

Purpose placed LaTayna Richardson Jackson, Harry Lennix, and Jon Michael Hill above the title for opening night.  They are considered in the leading acting categories.


Real Women Have Curves - Broadway

Whoops.  I guess it got jumbled with the Stranger Things opening, which was on a Friday.


Real Women Have Curves - Broadway

How is the line for the box office opening?


STRANGER THINGS to transfer to Broadway's Marquis Theatre in spring 2025

How many people are in line now, and how quickly is the line moving?


2024-2025 Tony Awards thread (Eligibility Rulings, etc)

quizking101 said: "Considering Helen J. Shen is above the title, I don’t know why that was ever a question unless they attempted to petition her down to Featured (which would’ve been blatant category fraud)to avoid the clusterfunk of potential nominees.

JGJ getting designated for Lead Actor is absolutely the correct move and I’m glad that it happened since, as of right now, he is my strong favorite in that category.

Also, and perhaps most important, DeWitt Fleming Jr. getting the consideration for choreography alongside Rickey Tripp for AWW is absolutely deserved. That man put in WORK and I was surprised he didn’t have a co-choreographer credit (I don’t mean the small print “tap choreographer” one he does have), since they certainly had no problem listing 3 people for direction
"

Helen was placed under the title for the week of opening night.


Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know?

Did anyone see Nicholas & Sherie's first performance last night?
