Credit to Just in Time and Jeremy Jordan. Those are very solid numbers, especially average ticket price.

I assumed Maybe Happy Ending would struggle in the wake of Darren Criss’ departure and with attention focused elsewhere. Too early to panic, but this is where reduced tourism may hurt.

All the Best Musical nominees need to win, even The Lost Boys given its higher costs.

The hit plays exist in their own worl

Well, this would prove to be a dilemma.

I have never seen Passion in person, only the proshot. And despite my admiration for Donna Murphy’s performance, and a few songs, I didn’t really like it. But this combination is tempting (it would cross one of the remaining Sondheim shows I haven’t seen off my list) except for what I assume would be stupid ticket prices. 

One thing for sure: I am not precious about Passion. Jamie Llo

Now I’ve got to decide between Lost Boys, The Rocky Horror Show or Schmigadoon as a replacement. Catching Linda Eder the night before, Cats matinee on the 22nd and Les Miserables on the 23rd."

I am sorry this happened to you. Here is my suggestion, if it is workable: I think Death of a Salesman is a terrific production, probably

I don’t usually get too worked up about disappointing outcomes at awards events, but Malloy getting nothing for Great Comet still irks me. I expected it, and Dear Evan Hansen was certainly not a bad score. But Malloy deserved something for one of most inventive, beautiful and jus

Maybe Happy Ending will probably have to endure a slow period as at

This is where the famous “11 O’Clock number” stems from as shows commonly let out after 11pm. During the very late 60s/early 70s when NYC and the whole Times Square area was getting too sketchy and people didn’t feel safe that late, it was switched to 8pm."

I didn’t know shows

I have less of an idea about the 2017 Tonys for Best Direction of a Musical than some of you, but here are my guesses:

Dear Evan Hansen was renowned for its performances and score. The direction wasn’t as fancy.

Great Comet had eye-catching direction by Chavkin and I am still a little miffed it didn’t win for the score and orchestrations, but DEH was probably always winning that. The show had also been around in New

While the timing is just too far in advance for me, I am glad that everyone else is getting an opportunity to purchase decent tickets at a very reasonable price.

The insistence by producers of shows much less likely than Evita to cause a stir to charge very high prices has been a galling trend. This is a refreshing change.

ETA: Changed my mind. We are seeing it Friday, April 2. Paid more than originally planned but Row J of the orchestra to see one of the e

This has actually been an enlightening thread.

I had no idea lots of people wore baseball caps during indoor theater performances. Have I been oblivious all this time? Perhaps.

It never would occur to me to wear a cap during a show. I am sure I have arrived at theaters wearing them, especially after walking around New York City during the day. I have certainly worn other things on my head when it’s cold but always taken it off inside. I guess it’s just generational.<

I suppose it’s possible that the Chess revival was doomed by the announcement of Lea Michele’s upcoming departure - prompting her fans to think she had already left the show.

But there is a more likely explanation: The show, whatever the virtues of its score and musical performances, just wasn’t regarded as very good. Some people love Chess, or at least the score, and that contingent yielded its excellent box office for several mon

The other news looks kind of grim, at least for now. The nominated musicals got their bump last week but that’s it for now."

They added an 8 week extension through August a few months ago after previews began. Much A
