I hear KTF is indeed attached. No idea about the rest.

Melanie Moore just posted a wrap up post on Instagram for this production where she says she’s saying goodbye to Nina “for now.”Anyone hearing anything about a transfer?

Wow, I really hope this is happening. One of my favorite things I have ever seen. I hope K. Todd Freeman gets to reprise his role at the very least.

There's a lot of brilliance in this, specifically in the stagecraft and choreography. Malloy's score takes more of a backseat than usual, but I thought it was quite effective. Jen Silverman's book is unfortunately pretty weak and Dave needs to punch up the lyrics. But overall I loved this, and it amazed me in the way that really good theater should. Hope to see this make it to NYC.

ACL2006 said: "Spelling Bee doesn't appear to be extending, either, which is a shame. So that's three of the theaters there that'll be empty come September."If I'm looking at this correctly, their last extension from April 12th to September 6th was announced on 2/3, just two months before that extension was set to end. I wouldn't count them out yet.

Copy and pasting my review from Reddit:Walk on the Moon was alright. The first act feels rushed which undermines the main character’s motivations, but Talia and Max are so good that they had me invested again in the second act. Max in particular probably needs more to do in act 1 to establish his character better. I described the plot as Temu Bridges of Madison County to my friend and that’s basically what you can expect.Music is serviceable if samey.Their use of projections and screens were ...

I will always appreciate this production for the Kuhoo Verma moment it gave to us.Kind of hope Six just has a dignified death and we get some new stuff at NWS.

Anyone know who was involved with the workshops? The only person I remember seeing post anything was Casey Likes. Especially curious who they got for Cyrus and Luther.

theatergoer3 said: "The album is 1:21 long so add however much book on top of that and I’d bet it’s either closer to 2 hours or just sung-through."The NYT article says it will be mostly sung through. Wouldn't be surprised to see some new songs added, they have some cushion.

I noticed that Michael Arden has reposted both of LCT's season teaser posts on his Instagram story. Any idea if he's attached to anything in their new season?

I saw this yesterday and the 3.5 hours went by faster than you'd think. Parts of act 3 dragged the slightest bit for me, but I was mostly enthralled.

Sweaty Testicle is saying that a different production of N2N unrelated to the West End version is coming starring Pink and her daughter… Nepo To Normal?This is a huge bummer if true. Can’t imagine it approaches the brilliance of the London production/cast.

Falsettolands said: "This is the only thing I could see giving Paddington a run for its money. If this came in I could see a world where it swoops in for Best Score/Book with Paddington still taking top prize."Warriors is winning all three easily if it comes this season.

I thought this was brilliant and have been enjoying the cast album so far. Looking forward to catching this again and seeing how it’s evolved.

AC126748 said: "Didn’t Billy Magnussen leave after performances had already started? I sort of remember him doing a couple of the early previews before it was announced that he was gone."Ooh yeah, you're right. I saw it in the weird period in previews between Billy dropping out and Michael taking over, forgot that he actually did some of the previews.

AC126748 said: "I won’t speculate on the reasons for Jacobson’s departure, but it’s extremely odd this story broke on the day previews were set to begin."This reminds me of when Billy Magnussen dropped out of **** Meets Fan last minute, which was also MCC. Weird!

Ensemble1698878795 said: "Ptero2 said: "Both shows are re-inventing the material - they finally found out how to make Ragtime profitable and how to make Cats lose money!"Re-inventing Ragtime is not. Its message has finally caught up with the social-political climate, but it coddles a very specific theater audience. This production is what the show is. This revival just has great performances to really land the plane. But nothing about this production is special beyond those actors and they wi...
