Regional theaters rarely do pieces that can offend post pandemic. I'm guessing this will be for indie companies or get forgotten for a while.

Playbill: RENT Will Get a Majority Neurodiverse, Disabled Revival Off-Broadway

TheatreFan4 said: "blaxx said: "Strange choice of musical considering it focuses on a specific ailment, oh well."
Do Neurodivergent and disabled people just not deal withAIDS or Drug Addiction? I have some information for you..."
Yes, that was not the point of the show. It's to focus on the AIDS endemic in a specific time and place, not to pile other challenges to the already convoluted story and characters.

And what does that have anything to do with ReNt?"
They're a Neurodivergent and Disability centered Theatre Company so that's how they cast the show. That's it."
Strange choice of musical considering it focuses on a specific ailment, oh well.

They would likely aim to repeat the same experience.

What did you think about the song?"

Well if the new musical on Broadway is death’s door than Broadway as a whole is on death’s door…and there’s no way to stop it…I fear we are looking at a point where a lot of Broadway theate

I agree, most will definitely flop hard. Wonder what the future of musicals on Broadway looks like.

Also ready in Gerald Schonefeld autobiography that it was set to go into the Shubert, but the Shubert Organization couldn’t evict Big.
Anyway this musical is the same as Chess and Aida, by what I mean it has a stunning score, but awful book!"
Yup, its also no

The Rocky Horror Show Expectations
Apr 13 2026, 01:26:38 PM
The only real solution is to project the call outs they want in the show.
Then they can direct the audience to only yell out what they see, include the best known ones, and ensure the cast is aware of where these are placed.

smidge said: "Yes. People are confusing the Rocky Horror Show with the Picture Show. Call outs only became popular with the midnight screenings. You can still go to a movie theater to participate."
So don't go to the theatre, go to the movies instead. Theatre is inflexible, gotcha.
And then they wonder why Broadway is in shambles.

That $995K breakeven will be its killer. The $9.5 mil capitalization is a steal as far as new musicals go in 2026. (Both figures reported by Phillip Boroff back in February)"
I don't think I'm cynical by thinking that everyone believed the Best Musical award

A big orchestra is unnecessary for a spoof musical. The humor is in its simplicity.
Next thing we'll get is Forbidden Broadway with the Philharmonic.
