Also, they mention about it being the first all-black La Cage, but aren't the MUNY doing the same thing this Summer with Norm Lewis?"

No one ever said The MUNY's La Cage was an all-black cast. And their cast list has been announced.

(Does anyone in this chat room know how to do a little research BEFORE posting stupid comments on here?)

I do agree that Gypsy will close around Labor Day but I feel like they'll wait a little while to announce so it doesn't seem reactionary to the Tonys results."

Gypsy has previously already been extended to October 5, but who knows?

Floyd Collins has always been a limited run (and Ragtime is already announced to come in), so not sure why that would be included in a list of shows to post closing after Tonys. 

Where does it say Urie is also transferring? I only see that it's just Sutton so far, and all other casting is yet to be announced...

Walter Kerr

Proscenium width: 42'10"

Proscenium height: 25'0"

Stage Depth: 23'3" (+ 2'10" apron)

Pretty sure that Orson Welles holds this record... at 21 years old. 

It won't be on Broadway, but I'm looking forward to hearing what the new Cats "remix" orchestrations sound like. Not sure you could technically call it EDM in the traditional sense, but this total reimagining of the score might actually get people excited for yet another production of that show, for once. 

Morosco, how helpful you are!!

Would you possibly have the proscenium height & width + prosc. to back wall  info for:
American Airlines, Circle in the Square, Hudson, New Amsterdam, Sam Friedman, Sondheim, & Studio 54?

And I need just the proscenium height for:
Minskoff... 


Really appreciate it! Thanks :)

There's rumor that a few other iconic songs have also been cut. At least during previews anyway... until Sondheim and the Bernstein/Laurents estates see this version and give it their yay or nay.

We'll see how long this lasts! and whether or not they're required to stick to a more traditional approach in terms of song cuts and structure. There's a reason why they've got a whole 2 months of previews!

The movie casting may be irrelevant, but the fact remains that just because part of the cast is female, the other percentage may or may not be all male. In whatever production- film, Broadway or otherwise. It is ignorant to assume that every cast member who is not female, is "indeed" male. Not necessarily true. That's all.

...All basically the same. All less interesting than the one before it.
 

Not that this is a review of the Pasadena version we're talking about here, but... Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park did a London production that was not only very different, but most definitely not less interesting than ones before it.

Take a look:

Kinda funny, but not indeed true. Anybodys is non-binary in the upcoming film version.

Yes, the 1927-28 season seems to have been the busiest year for Broadway. Some sources claim there were at least 280 new productions (consensus says between 250 and 280). There were over 70 Broadway houses at the time, with about 30 of them newly constructed. And 50-100 performances wasn't too bad.

Compare that with today's average of 36 new productions in 41 houses... And the $0.75 ticket price versus $125 average.
