Still no steady discount available and it's never been up at TKTS."Yet, there's The Lion King.In the end, nothing lasts forever, but 25 years is incredible nowadays.

Postponed = We are embarrassed to say it's canceled

If any other director wants to be greeted for having a different take, the piece needs to be left alone for a very long time. Otherwise, everyone expects the Laurents touch and it's not to the advantage of anyone with a different take on it from what we're used to."Although I ag...

Soaring29 said: "I mean, Merman didn’t win. But I think Blaxxhas a point."Merman was directed by Jerome Robbins. Only Laurents' directed Roses have won a Tony.

The Laurents' presence also casts a heavy shadow over Gypsy. The Roses that have been universally praised, Tony included, were directed by him.Will someone ever win a Tony for the part that was not directed by the author?

We could have woken up today to news that this was being bought by a faceless private equity portfolio or a Trump loyalist. I would much rather these assets be owned by Ari, whose job is entertainment, even with his reputation as a beancounting taskmaster.(Politically, Ari is a moderate Dem who has greased palms of people on both sides o...

Soaring29 said: "She was great in Violet."No, she was adequate. She would need to do a lot of different genres before she can tackle Rose without looking like a bad Carol Burnett impersonation.

Couldn't he have made of an excuse and quit instead? Less dramatic but much easier.

Daisy Crumpler said: "ACL2006 said: "It's shocking DeBose hasn't gotten back into theater or Broadway. Surprised she hasn't tried to play Velma on Broadway or returned to Hamilton."There were rumors persisting DeBose and Schmigadoonco-star Jane Krakowski were going to re-open CHICAGO after the pandemic. Not sure if it was just online gossip, but I know a few people who purchased tickets before the casting announcement in the hopes/anticipation.Speaking ofSchmigadoon, it's interesting (or typi...

Fred Mason said: "She also workshopped Kiss of the Spiderwoman a few years ago, I wonder if she could be doing it at City Center, is it the same creative team that did the workshop?"She may be a much better fit for Aurora than Charity, yet she lacks the terrifying presence that is also needed for parts of the show.She needs much more experience to tackle more complex roles.

FolliesCabaret said: "The next Rose will undoubtedly be Sutton Foster, and she will be fantastic and I will see it 27 times, but I long to live in a world where it's Annaleigh Ashford or Amber Gray."That's a terrible role for her. She's never proven herself a hit in dramatic roles.

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "It’s interestingthat people saying she didn’t deserve her Oscar haven’t followed up with who they think should have won that year.Seriously, look at that lineup. There really isn’t much competition to argue for. The rest of the films and performances nominated were fine but forgettable."The thing is that winning an Oscar doesn't make you a fit for any role that comes your way. She didn't become a more versatile performer when she won.

Kad said: "altonido said: "I'd prefer to see Jasmine Amy Rogers as Charity."Now there's a bonafide triple threat. She would be perfect."Definitely, DeBose is the anti-Charity, nothing about the role is right for her.

Bet the production doesn't happen at all. Bailey is not a great choice for the role to begin with.

Voter said: "Seems like this must've been inspired by Kim Hale"They should just cast her and help her reach her goal.

Can the also change the design and the direction and the choreography? No?

Wish he could have seen P!nk in more of a song-and-dance show than this - a short stint in Chicago would've been more sustainable.

I really thought it would run for a couple of years. Shame.

Fred Mason said: "Well you missed out because Donna Murphy was sensational. She gave a Tony Award worthy performance, it was extraordinary, the way she sang and acted each song, I Don’t Want To Know, Kiss Her Now, Each Tomorrow Morning, Through the Bottom of the Glass, and that patter song tea party in act 2. Oh how I wish it transferred to Broadway. That big lush orchestra, the choreo, costumes, everything about it was truly perfect. "You're just a groupie, it's nowhere close to his best.
