I would also say Medea, though mine would be the BAM production with Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale. On a similar note, I would add current production of Oedipus. The fact that both were more of a modernization added to this - of course I knew what tragic end the story was heading toward, but it was how it would play out in each context that kept me engaged. With Medea, it was waiting until Anna (B

With this opening today, I figured I share my opinion after seeing last night's performance; first time seeing it, as well, having vague memories of hearing about it when it premiered in 2007 or so.

I found it to be a charming little play with a bittersweet undertone and a morbid sense of humor (in other words, my favorite kind of humor). In addition to great direction, Braun and Young are both wonderful and their chemistry is just terrific. It might not be for every

I got to see this two Fridays ago - it was only the second preview, so I won't go into too much detail (though I'm not sure what, if anything, they might have changed or would change since then).

Simply put: I found it to be sweet but a bit slight. It's unsurprisingly a very science-fiction heavy play, both in the plot and in the stage design, most of wh

The only specific production that comes to mind for me is a new revival of Twelve Angry Men, particularly one with Kyle MacLachlan as Juror #8 (I actually have a full dream cast list for a hypothetical production, but I won't inundate the thread with that). I first came across the play when we read it aloud in drama class my freshman year of high school and have since seen both film adaptations; I've never seen a live production, so that is certainly on my theatre-t

It seems odd to me to have this as the show for the gala. The article mentioned new orchestrations but I'm assuming this will not be taking advantage of the full orchestra but at max maybe 10 musicians and that even seems like a lot."

I was just thinking about this recently. Don't get me wrong, I have been wanting for a major Bat Boy revival ever s

I did one of these last year, as well. I don't think I'm going to do this regularly, but for now, why not?

I should like to specify that A) I am going by the eligibility dates for this past Broadway season (any off-Broadway production that opened from April 29, 2024 to April 27, 2025), and B) I am choosing not to nominate anything that will be eligible at next year's Tonys - and when I state "anything", I of course mean Ragtime.

The only professional production I've abandoned was Harry Townsend's Last Stand a few years ago; it wasn't very good and Len Cariou seemed to be struggling with his lines.

I also, about two or three years ago, left a community theatre production of Nine at intermission; I wasn't interested in going in the first place, it was poorly performed and directed, and was being staged in a blackbox theatre which was completely the w

I’m only going off of limited information/the original cast album, so I’m not sure about the quality of the show itself - but I’ve always wanted to see a production of Stop the World - I Want to Get Off (perhaps as a future Encores! production). I feel like Radcliffe could handle the score and, no doubt, that show would need a name to really sell it.

Other than that, if I remember correctly, he’s expressed interest in working on a new musical.

• All of the musical moments in Stereophonic. In addition to just being a good play, everything about that show was what I go to the theater for; it took a setting that (to my knowledge) hasn't been depicted onstage before and the result was the perfect definition of a play with music - it all blended together so well, with neither overpowering the other
