That was the "Avenue Q", possible split vote that got Menzel the Tiny and Pinkins' putting something in her contract for her son, I think.Also "Shuffle Along". Not sure if it qualifies.And Kad, I still listen to the castrecording of "The Story of My Life". I just love that score."Like ggersten pointed out, Caroline, or Change has had a revival. I also feel it's on a different level of popularity f

ggersten said: "Why is Big Fish not on list? Too many high school and community productions?"Precisely that :)

Kad said: "I think I would remove Bloody Bloody and Scottsboro Boys, both of which were regularly produced for a time after their Broadway productions closed (though, Bloody Bloody has likely not aged particularly well and I doubt we'll see much of it going forward)."Thanks! It's hard to find out if shows used to be produced a lot.So I have received opinions from both ways, some think we shouldn't even consider the "regularly performed" rule, some think we should take more shows off the list....

Both shows are on the list: :) I thought so too. Then the "not performed regularly" and "no national tour" rules eliminated a lot of shows. As it is right now, I have 93 musicals on the list, compared to Not Since Carrie, which has 188 musicals.

3 days ago, I shared a searchable, easy-to-use reference list of all the musicals featured in Not Since Carrie on Reddit: https://bwayradar.com/collections/not-since-carrieSomeone suggested I make one for Broadway musical flops from 1990 to the present, too. I thought people here might appreciate it, so here it is: https://bwayradar.com/collections/since-carrieThis is

On July 3, 2026, there will be at least 30 productions of 1776 happening across the country:Ivoryton Playhouse (Ivoryton, CT) — Jun 26 to Jul 27Gettysburg Community Theatre (Gettysburg, PA) — Jul 1 to Jul 31Van Cliburn Auditorium (Kilgore, TX) — Jun 28 to Jul 26Academy of Performing Arts (Orleans, MA) — Jul 2 to Jul 19Super Summer Theatre (Blue Diamond, NV) — Jul 1 to Jul 18Berkshire Theatre Festival Colonial

This year, in late April and early May, there were three productions of 1776 on the East Coast: at Ford's Theatre in DC, Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, and Papermill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few more happening in other parts of the country.

oops. double post.

I asked the same question in the 2025-2026 Broadway Season post a few months ago. Then I came around to the idea of it being a revival. Pasting my answer below:2025-2026 Broadway Season Jan 1 2026, 01:18:20 PMI have come around to Oedipus being a revival. These classic non-English plays almost always get a new translation when produced on Broadway, and we can’t call each one a new play just because it’s the first time that

I just launched a new site where you can pick any date and see what’s playing. It’s called Broadway Radar: https://bwayradar.com (tentative name. naming things is hard!).You can filter by curtain time (like between 4:30pm and 6pm), genre, venue type (Broadway, Off-Broadway, etc.), or borough.When I shared the bwayrush.com/five links yesterday, I was like, should I just go ahead and drop Radar? Haha. But now it’s ready! Theatre at 5 will still be up and running. Radar can do all of that, but T...

I have come around to Oedipus being a revival. These classic non-English plays almost always get a new translation when produced on Broadway, and we can’t call each one a new play just because it’s the first time that specific translation is staged. Similar examples include Uncle Vanya (new translation by Heidi Schreck) and A Doll’s House (new translation by Amy Herzog) from a few years ago. Both were considered revivals.This Oedipus does change a lot of plot details, according to my friend w...

Am I the only one who thinks Oedipus should be considered as a new play?

I went through all the musicals I saw this year, and here are a few more nominations:Not That Kinda Gal (Schmigadoon!, this is a new song)https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kzXoY5ZTNjUStuff It Down Inside (The Seat of Our Pants):https://www.tiktok.com/@publictheaterny/video/7569375421091908895Big Tree Religion (Redwood, not sure if this song is new for Broadway or not)

I can't speak for others, but as a millennial who sees 100 shows a year, if you increase ticket prices by 3.5x, I'll be ready to end my two decades of theater obsession. When the last row of the balcony costs over $100 in a Broadway house, it's no longer an art form for the people (I mean, it's already a luxury for many). To producers who see this report as an opportunity, go ahead and try. I'm sure you won't miss my 80 bucks. But I doubt I'm alone.

The album drops at midnight London time, which is 7pm in New York, when Dave Malloy with the original cast starts the Ghost Quartet reunion tonight. How nice!

I also saw the first preview. While I agree about the sound issues, that's what previews are for. I’m sure they’ll be fixed soon.The score was gorgeous! It’s more accessible than Wine & Roses and Floyd Collins, but groovier and more upbeat than Piazza. You can hear it in the demos (Childish Things, Feel for This) on Adam’s website. March Is a Windy Month is the Fable of the show. It grows on me with every listen. Audra McDonald recorded it on her album Sing Happy. Find Me reminds me of Where ...

Animal Wisdom was produced 4 years ago during the pandemic as a virtual show by Bushwick Starr and Woolly Mammoth Theatre. I watched the stream and loved it! Can't wait to revisit both shows! What a year for Heather Christian!
