Oy! Some just love doom and gloom. Broadway has faced many, many challenges over the decades and is still going strong.

Saw them at Carnegie Hall in November 2023 with the NY Pops. It was a fantastic concert. I believe that was their first concert together. Perhaps it's changed a bit now that they have been doing it for several years now.

Saw the show in April. Always sad when a show closes prematurely and so many people are out of work. This show is so specific. An off-Broadway run was really more appropriate for it. I certainly appreciated the sheer talent of the cast. Incredible performers. Having seen the original show so many times, that's the "Cats" that I'm used to and will favor.

"Mame" "Funny Girl""Follies"

Hopefully it will be released, and not just sit on a shelf somewhere. Will be seeing "Jersey Boys" in Chicago in November. Very excited to see the show again. Saw JB several times in Chicago during its original 2 year run that opened in October 2007.

If there's ever a Broadway revival of "The Life," Alex can portray Sonja, and sing "The Oldest Profession."

Looks fantastic."I've learned never to underestimate or even guess about attempts at sarcasm from members of this board but unless I'm missing something or still drunk from the World Cup loss last night I see no detailed report.I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I was referring to the posting on this thread, that went into great detail about who sang what song during Act 1 and Act 2. That posting is now gone...

Thanks for the very detailed report of last night's concert. Looks fantastic. As far as the "no shows," I'm sure they all had other commitments, and something came up. Not unusual for things to change by the time they are announced to the night of the show. It's not as if they just didn't show up, and nobody knew what happened to them.

Angela Lansbury sat behind me at "The King & I" at Lincoln Center. The Sunday matinee of "A Little Night Music," Bill, Hillary, Chelsea and husband Marc attended. When they walked in, the entire theatre started to applaud. On the way out of the theatre, B&H were shaking people's hands and chatting. I was able to shake both of their hands. :) Barbara Walters was next to me at "Something Rotten." Kim Zimmer was a few rows ahead of me at "Hadestown." Spoke with her before the show, and she was s...

A bit off topic, but still on point with AR - when I was in NYC last month, I purchased my tickets for "Lost Boys" and "Schmigadoon," at their respective box offices. I gave my AR number to the box office person, and they each entered the number into their system - just like I did with a few other shows that I bought directly at the box office. Within a few days after seeing all my shows - 15 total, all the AR points posted - except for "Lost Boys," and "Schmigadoon." AR has a feature for mis...

Same here - there's nothing on the AR page for "860."

What I wouldn't give to be there and watch his name get taken down - throw his name down on the ground, and stomp all over it.

Not really a big surprise that there will be cast changes. It was always scheduled for a limited run, and I'm sure those actors who are departing, are moving on to other projects, or can't commit to an extension - for whatever reason. It's not some big snub or anything like that. Why try to make something out of nothing?

In May 2015, it was announced that "On The Town" would do a national tour, with Tony Yazbeck reprising his Tony nominated role. Never happened.https://playbill.com/article/tony-yazbeck-will-topline-on-the-town-national-tour-com-348363

And, the show isn't shoving anything down anyone's throats.."It's not that those jokes are in bad taste- it's that they're hacky and tonally out of step with the show (a show set forty years ago!). The show manages to make political jokes that are toothless groaners for everybody on the political spectrum, which, in this age of...

It's very unfortunate when a show closes and actors, musicians, crew and theatre staff will be out of work. I consider myself fortunate to have seen the show twice. First time was in November, right after the opening, and the second time a few weeks ago. Loved every minute of it. Very unfortunate that cast member Casey Garvin was injured not long after the show opened, and wasn't able to return. Several comments here on the thread referred to the Trump & Biden jokes in the show and being in b...

I'm 6'4", and very aware that with being so tall, I don't want to obstruct anyone sitting behind me. When I wear my baseball cap at the theatre, I always take it off before the show starts. A few times people behind me have asked if I could remove it, and I always say that I will remove it before the show starts. Problem solved.

Such a great show. Saw it with Betty & Raquel in NYC, and then again when Betty toured and the show came to Los Angeles at The Ahmanson Theatre.
