Where is the thread for "The Great Gatsby" with Jeremy Jordan?

I saw Shucked last night and was really surprised by how young the audience was by Broadway standards. I thought the show was great and Alex Newell (one of my daughter's favorites) brought the house down with a Act 1 number.

Hi - I saw Some Like It Hot during an open rehearsal back in the Spring and wrote then how wonderful it was and that J. Harrison Ghee should win a Tony award. I'm glad to see the reaction to the previews so far.

Sorry to ask - I'm late to the discussion.What was the thought process to give Beanie the role in the first place? I had seen her in Hello Dolly and she was fine but why were people so excited when she got the role of Fanny?I'm not trying to be snarky - I just don't know.

Hi - I saw Some Like It Hot during the Open Rehearsal - it was wonderful!I was not familiar with J. Harrison Ghee and his non-binary status prior to seeing this show. My friend and I both agreed that J. Harrison Ghee is certainly going to be nominated for a Tony Award as well as the gentleman playing Osgood. Their relationship was the highlight of the show and was beautifully written and acted.My only issue this that this show will cost me a lot of money; I raved about it so much that my fami...

The show is not performing starting 5/29 and not resuming until 6/7. Does anyone know why?

I'm seeing "Funny Girl" tonight, Who is filling in for Ramin Karimloo?

I thought Osgood/ Daphene romance was beautifully handled. There was never a "nobaby's perfect" moment played for laugh's but just a couple who fell in love without regard to gender.

Hi - I started another thread on Some Like It Hot after I saw the Open Rehearsal.I thought it was amazing and stated that J. Harrison Ghee should win a Tony award.All of the bickering about Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire is nonsense. They were fine but not very good. Some Like It Hot was great. The "Osgood" character is really well developed with several songs and J. Harrison Ghee steals the show.If anything, Christian Borle could use another number to sharpen his starring role.I'm not an industr...

i saw Some Like It Hot in an open rehearsal at Stage 42 yesterday. IT WAS AMAZING!J. Harrison Ghee will win a Tony.I can't wait until it opens in the Fall so I can take my family to see it.

Does anyone have any information on the casting for this show?I received an email asking if I wanted to join a lottery to see a workshop of this production.

I was recently given a $225 gift certificate to Broadway.com. I was shocked to learn that Broadway.com adds huge fees. A $159 ticket with fees came to $219. How does this site continue to exist charging these fees?

Does anyone think this is a good idea?

Any idea who the cast will be for this show? It will be at the Paper Mill Playhouse this fall.

I keep trying but no luck yet for that or the "Fun Home" lottery

I went to Saturday's matinee and enjoyed the show. I came with low expectations as the last preview I went to was "Bonnie & Clyde". It had a great finale. On another note, I met Tommy Tune on the street last week and I had a nice conversation with him. He seemed stunned when I told him one of the first records I had purchased was his cast album of "Seesaw". As I left, he shook my hand and instructed me to go see "Once". A very nice and gracious man.
