Residuals from albums is not something you live off of. A performer lucky enough to be in an original cast that gets to record an album will get maybe 1 or 2 residual royalty checks per year, and those checks are diluted down if it’s a big cast. An average annual income from this is likely $1,000.Residuals from TV shows…well, first you have to have gotten a TV gig. Then you have to be lucky that your show is on a type of contract that gets residuals. Let’s just say…you don’t live off of this ...

I don’t want to comment on a dress rehearsal, but I’m going to anyway.It was FABULOUS. One of the best dress rehearsals I’ve been to at Encores. And that’s an outrageous statement when you think about it, because this score is not easy. The cast rehearsed for 10 days and brought us THAT level of performance?? Mind-blowing.Donica is the stand-out here. They’re all incredible. The talent on that stage is insane.It is not really a show that would sell well with a long run on Broadway, so I can’t...

Shame on Cynthia Erivo, specifically!

In 1956, Peter Pan was telecast live on NBC from the Ambassador Theatre in front of an invited audience. One year earlier, the original production that closed at the Winter Garden Theatre reassembled at a studio where the show was first telecast live.Good Night, and Good Luck might be the first play to be telecast live on cable from a regularly scheduled, paying audience.

You forgot to include The Lost Boys, opening at the Palace Theatre in Spring 2026.

I have stopped contributing to discussions, but I still read every day. BWW has been a chapter in my life, that’s for sure. I’ve been a subscriber of theirs longer than TV Guide! 😆

So...people that are very old? Like...James Earl Jones? Frank Langella? Ian McKellen? Joel Grey? Ben Vereen? Patrick Stewart? George Hearn? John Cullum? Donna McKecknie? Priscilla Lopez? Bette Midler? Barbra Streisand? Liza Minnelli? Chita Rivera?

The Tony Awards is an international television commercial that provides big boosts to the advances and awareness and interest in attending shows. To not have the Tony's would be a death sentence to shows that are in an unprecedented state of jeopardy. The League and Awards committee will meet and hopefully come up with a solution that is fair and gives Broadway the boost that it needs. All that being said, we don't know if this shutdown will extend past the 4 weeks. We don't know if coronavir...

Holy shiz!!

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY end of Act Two "You don't get it, do you? I'M RUNNING THINGS NOWWWWWW!!!" (blackout) Gasps, cheers, applause, exhaling, intermission.

Just email producers, managers, and not-for-profits that you want to work for and say that you're in town for a week, want to start your career, and are seeking an informational interview for guidance. You may get lucky and get some responses. (Most of these individuals and organizations have websites with contact info or forms.)

That's great advice! Asking someone to lighten up about pedophilia? Bravo! It was indeed tasteless. Why would you have the need to share that for all the world to see? That's one that you save for your close circle of friends who may have the same twisted sense of humor you do. It's all about context. Publishing that to the world at large...what is his rationale? Tasteless.

The Testament of Mary Doctor Zhivago The Crucible Those should be included in your poll. Why is Beetlejuice an option?

So many inaccuracies in that list.

Your point would normally be valid, however, in the musical, Christian didn't love Satine. Satine did not love Christian. The Duke did not love Satine. No one loved anyone. At least that is the impression I got when I saw the show. It was all pretty to look at, though.
