A significant chunk of the voters are from out-of-town, so I think that is something to keep in mind as well. I think Ragtime has it, though. Cats: The Jellicle Ball is still Cats at the end of the day, so some voters could be alienated based off that.

I saw Cats: The Jellicle Ball at the Broadhurst yesterday (I didn’t see it downtown). “Memory” was clearly transposed, and I wasn’t a fan of the key choice. It ended up feeling like one of the weaker moments in the score when it’s usually the emotional peak. Curious how others felt.

willep said: "Guess that means Hell’s Kitchen is closing?"Most likely was a mistake as they posted on X: Don Cheadle and Ayo Edebiri will make their Broadway debuts in a revival of “Proof,” directed by Tony winner Thomas Kail. “Proof” begins previews March 31, 2026, at a Shubert theater to be announced, with opening night set for April 16. But it must've sent the Hell's Kitchen cast and crew into a frenzy if they saw the article. 💀 ☠️

NY Post gave a nice review. 3/4 stars‘Mamma Mia!’ review: Back on Broadway, a much-needed summer splash of ABBAhttps://nypost.com/2025/08/15/entertainment/mamma-mia-review-back-on-broadway-a-much-needed-summer-splash-of-abba/

Mr. Wormwood said: "Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere and I missed it but will this be eligible for Tonys for Best Revivalsince it's sort of a "return engagement." I know it's same Director, Choreographer & Designers so they'd all be ineligible."Yes, Mamma Mia will, but Beetlejuice will not.

Wanted, at least thematically, seems like a show that will go into the Longacre and flop.

Would've thought they would've got some veterans for this tour."This tour exists to be cheaper, they wouldn't hire veterans as its counter to the mission." I guess, but I believe it was level 1 touring contracts, which kinda counteract that point.

Has anyone heard of them before? Would've thought they would've got some veterans for this tour.

Just a couple weeks ago, it was looking to still be in much better shape than a show like Boop or RWHC and might make it through the summer. But the wheels fell off quickly which is almost worse than chugging along at a low number. It showed audience rejection more than just audience disinterest or lack of awareness.Why they didn't just do Bombshell, I'll never understand."It would be too taxing on the voice to do bombshell 8...

DramaTeach said: "It makes sense for their 10 year anniversary if some others come back too. If it’s just him, it kinda looks like…he couldn’t find anything else? He was absolutely my favorite in the show though, so anyone who gets to see him in lucky."Not an OG, but I could see Mandy coming back since she is almost done with Sunset.

Perhaps I let the hype get to me, perhaps it just doesn't fill the Longacre, perhaps it was a little bit of the cast re-finding their footing. I found it to be overall good, but not something I'm raving about the next day.I liked the score a lot, one of my favorite Yazbeck works, tuneful, catchy, entertaining, and, as always, s...

Johnny Oleksinki, The New York Post: There’s trauma after trauma. Yet what’s so puzzling about “Redwood” is that it’s a textbook tearjerker — a mom in mourning rediscovering herself midair, weighty speeches about losing everything — that leaves your eyes totally dry.Yikes

What is wrong with him?https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/theater/review-idina-menzel-climbs-to-new-broadway-heights-in-redwood.html"I just think he is an Idina fangirl. He liked "If/Then" too.

Jesse Green gave it a Critic's Pick. I was not expecting that.

A vampire musical, no out of town tryout, opening in a large house, major involvement from a Michael... sounds like another Dance of the Vampires. 🤣
