Re: ANNIE - 50th Anniversary Broadway revival (Fall, 2027)
I love Annie coming back when the economy is in the toilet...although I think the economy was doing okay 97' for the 25th Anniversary. Of course, that production had problems of it's own. I hope Sam Pinkleton can really look at this piece and see how he could relate it more today's world.
Re: DOWNSTATE - Broadway (Booth) - Colón-Zayas, Freeman & Sadoski
CoffeeBreak said: "Do we know when the whole run is onsale for DOWNSTATE? The appears only deal dates connected to SMS."yeah I was kinda bummed to see the dates were just for those specific dates. I just want to see Downstate, not so much the other play, so I was curious when those tickets were gonna be available for the other dates.

Re: Downstate Premiering on Broadway this Fall?
Does anyone know when this is planning to open or start previews? I"m planning a trip in November and this is definitely on my list of must sees.

It seems they are starting from scratch with Kathleen Marshall taking over form John Doyle directing, and a whole new score and book. I enjoy seeing Marshall back working on new shows."I saw that production and it was not good. I had never seen the film so I was a little confused by the book. It did use th...
Chances of a Jekyll & Hyde or Wildhorn Return?
I don't know about NY...but if you are coming to Chicago this fall, there is an incredible production that is being done with Broadway in Chicago. This is a production from Kokandy, a store front non-equity theater here in Chicago, that was done last fall and it was brilliant. They set it in a victorian era operating room with a 19 piece orchestra. This production did so well it kept extending, and this fall it is returning in one of the larger houses here in Chicago. I'm someone who is not a...
Iceboy! The Musical
I saw this show on Saturday night and I think the best way to describe is just...silly. This is a silly show, it's just ridculous which is not a bad thing. I laughed a ton in the first act, not so much in the second. The second act does feel pretty laborious, if they could find a way to tighten this show and possibly make it a one act, I think you'll have something that is a hell of a lot of fun. Like a previous poster said, Megan Mullally is basically doing her Elizabeth from "Young Frankens...
Iceboy! The Musical
I'm going on the 27th...super excited to see this. I didn't realize Nick Offerman use to have his own theater company in Chicago.
Next for Mexodus?
It's coming to Chicago for a few weeks in November.

Amazing set design, and I was actually seated next to the set designer. However, this did not work at all. It felt like it was maybe at one time supposed to be a musical, but that didn
Two questions regarding Cynthia Erivo
Jamie Lloyd has already mounted a production of passion at the Donmar back in 2010 with Elena Roger...I wonder if this does happen will it be that production. Kind of how he basically brought his Regents Park production of Evita to the west end. Also weren't there rumors of Lea Michele and Johnathon Groff possibly collaborating again. Would love to see her in this as Clara.
Lin-Manuel Miranda to direct film adaptation of OCTET
I saw the production in Chicago last week and it's fantastic. I had never seen the show before and thought it was just stunning. Dave Malloy really is working on a different level then a lot of composers. If you are in the area between now and beginning head over to the Raven Theater and catch it. I know the show is sold out until May 22. I would not be surprised if this extended.
Who Is Your One Personal MUST WIN Tony Award This Year?
For me it's Alden Ehrenreich...who I actually think will win. Normally I'm not the biggest supporter when Hollywood comes to Broadway (of course I realize he has his own theatre company), but that was really a very tricky character to get right and he was astonishing
Who Deserves the Next Lifetime Achievement Tony Award?

Meryl Streep considering return to Broadway with Martin Short
