Playbill: RENT Will Get a Majority Neurodiverse, Disabled Revival Off-Broadway
 Apr 18 2026, 11:32:23 AM

this is a wonderful theater group for neurodiverse individuals...in addition to the performers there are lots of participants on the tech and backstage side.  They have a west coast group too.  Epicplayersnyc.org.....it is a wonderful organization.  I am surprised that this is getting so much negativity here.  I think the playbill headline is a bit misleading, referring to it as an "off broadway revival"...this group does various performances of various kinds dur


Pink to Host the 2026 Tony Awards
 Apr 12 2026, 01:40:53 PM

Pink is one devoted mama moving to NYC so her daughter can be closer to bway and pursue her dreams.  And good for Pink for making an effort to jump into the bway community and bring more attention to the Tony's (which she certainly will).  A couple of her songs are already in bway shows, and her tours are super theatrical.  I think it is a fun choice and hopefully will bring new eyeballs to the broadcast

How Bad Will the Kennedy Center Honors Be

supposedly the event is taping Sunday night.  Usually by now there would be at least some rumors and reports re who will be performing etc.  But thus far crickets.

Don't know if this is at all reliable......


LES MIS -> Radio City, SUPERSTAR Next?
 Nov 11 2025, 12:33:28 PM

i think this would just be a 3-4 night engagement --  semi-staged Hollywood Bowl concert version.


LES MIS -> Radio City, SUPERSTAR Next?
 Nov 10 2025, 05:22:36 PM

I would give my left arm to see the Bowl production at Radio City.  I know ALW was musing about MSG but I think 3-4 nights at Radio City makes much more sense.  The production would glow in that venue.


Hugh Jackman to hold 12-performance concert series at Radio City Music Hall
 Aug 19 2025, 11:45:09 AM

i saw the show a few months ago and it was ....just ok. Agree that his voice is shot...it just was no longer pleasing to my ear if that makes sense.  I kinda thought he was swallowed up by the radio city stage, which was a surprise bc he is a really charismatic performer.  I loved his one man show on bway years ago.  Maybe he just does better in a more intimate setting.  IDK.

John Adams said: "communitytheatergal88 said: "It COULD be a fun show given the honorees. But Ifear instead it will just be the DT show [...]"

huh.

Would it be as much fun as watching Hitler's rise to power, which transpired in theexact same wayas Donald Trump's?

Here's another "fun" exercise. How many of the following actions can be used in reference to Donald Trump (extra points if you can name the a


How'd Cabaret and Sunset Lose So Much $?
 Aug 14 2025, 04:27:26 PM

I saw Cabaret with Lambert and Cravalho and really enjoyed it...but I remember walking around the theater thinking holy **** what is the daily cash burn rate of this show.  So much staff, so many pre show dancers and musicians...just tremendously expensive.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can watch this, even if they do manage to edit most of him out."

It COULD be a fun show given the honorees.  But I fear instead it will just be the DT show -- he will dominate the proceedings, everyone will be g

as with everything T, I fear that the show will devolve into all of the artists genuflecting before him, and less focus on the artists themselves.

Yes -- anyone who is announced has already accepted

Its a bit on the nose but Adam Lambert would do a great Frank

mitchern said: "A friend who worked on the Superstar concerts at the Hollywood Bowl said that Lord ALW and others were talking backstage about wanting to bring it to Radio City for a few nights this fall or Spring if scheduled aligned."

please universe make this happen!!!  I think this production would be gorgeous in Radio City


Erivo will star in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl
 Aug 4 2025, 11:22:03 AM

Lambert is incredibly underrated (which is a funny thing to say about a guy who has been fronting Queen for a decade).  He is an amazing and charismatic live vocalist.  I hope there is more theater in his future.

Same..  I would love for them to bring this to Radio City for a week.  It would look and sound gorgeous there.

Stamos is a pro. He probably already knows most of the score.  He will do fine.

Rumor that John Stamos is taking over.  


Trump takeover of Kennedy Center
 Jul 28 2025, 05:33:20 PM

I doubt this will ever go anywhere as it is a frivolous Tump boot licking bill, but the notion is utterly ludicrous.  Even if you are a Trump fan who would like to immortalize him in some way, naming an arts center after him is not the way to go. He has NEVER, EVER been a patron of the arts, has never been associated with the arts.  He has never done anything to further the arts in any way. Going to a few broadway shows here and there does not make one an arts patron or lover.&
