Rumor: BEACHES opening at the Majestic this season Mar 5 2026, 11:39:29 AM
Wow. Is this the first 2 for 1 offer in box office opening history? I know there have been $17.76 style tickets (or was it $19.85 for American Psycho) which may equate to the same thing.
It depends on the usual price of the seat I suppose. A $20 seat in the rear balcony is different from buying two $250 seats for the price of one.

God forbid people expect sets and cast members to sit on those dozens of massive stages with three-storey prosceniums. Let’s knock them all down and put black boxes in their place - why keep them if we can’t expect them to be used for that which they were built?

Opening Night - What is it like? Mar 4 2026, 11:26:41 PM
Thanks and aorry, that meant to say “likely not start on time.” Will edit.

Opening Night - What is it like? Mar 4 2026, 11:13:59 PM
There will be some kind of opening night carpet going on, but that’s usually only for people on the media list. Although for this show, depending on turnout, they may let others get their photos taken.
The show will likely not start on time. You’ll get a Playbill with a gold sticker on it.
The opening party will be for invited guests only, although again, with this show you may just be able to ask the publicity team if they have any extra invites.

So you really just come on here, log in and out of your aliases, and talk to yourself…?

The Rocky Horror Show Playbill Design Mar 4 2026, 01:01:10 AM
Interesting. Audience interjections were very present in the last revival. They’d better make space for them or there’s going to be a lot of stepping on lines. The theatre may be large but when you’ve got kids in the front row belting “a$$hole” and “$lut” at you, size won’t matter.

I got tickets to this early - before seating design was created. I hope I made the right choice. I a now what looks like to be in the first row of the Orchestra. Will I miss everything by looking up the whole time? Looks like on stage seating is well sold the date I am going. What to do? It pains me to spend money on theater tickets that are expensive with an obstructed view."

Celebs Seeing Shows as Ads Mar 3 2026, 06:58:53 AM
Maybe. I think anyone who knows Josh Gad and the Harris family already know Chess and Mincemeat and will be seeing the shows or not. But just like sticking Cynthia Erivo’s name on a CATS post, they’ll try anything these days.

Anyone starting to prefer bootlegs over cast recordings? Mar 2 2026, 07:35:02 PM
“The ur-example is the Hello Dolly revival, which sounds like a sickly child on the cast recording, but it's hard for me to think of a recent case where I preferred the cast album over a good bootleg. I want that bigness.”
I agree with your entire post, Charley. Cast recordings have sucked for about 20 years IMO, but that Hello Dolly REALLY sucked. It was all a bit “here are all the pieces, now assemble them in your head!”.
The last really well done o

I suppose they’ll be hoping to transfer the Palladium revival now that they’re doing a rotating celebrity Herod format. Will work well in NYC.

Yes, you just need to be there when he runs around upstairs if you want to be picked. So I’d be one of the first to line up outside if you can.

Hugh Jackman & Ella Beatty to lead off-Broadway SEXUAL MISCONDUCT OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES in rep with Liev Schrieber-led CREDITORS Feb 27 2026, 01:06:37 PM
Interesting that I’m being told my theory is fraught because I don’t know the real situation by people who also… don’t know the real situation.

5000 more than he’d make sitting at home.

Right, Hugh Jackman is doing a small off-Broadway play to pay off his debts. If only he had been cast in a massively successful superhero franchise that made him millions. Oh, well!"
If he owes a significant percentage of those millions (which could easily be the case as it coul
