Plus, since the Megan Thee Stallion casting for MR, there is also a bit of teeth gnashing going on right now about casting non-theatrecelebrities into roles that could’ve gone to experienced theatre actors, but instead choosing the cash grab."

Make that "since ________ casting for _______ for decades...choosing the cash grab"


BROADWAY DISCOUNTS

WTF is right. Using this link makes the tix I'm looking at for first preview Schmigadoon actually $10/each MORE than the Telecharge official site. Weird.

I recall instances of men’sforgetting of lines or use of ear pieces being acknowledged, but no such “lambasting”.

Bruce Willis was raked over the coals about it, even beyond our little theater bubble. It was literally the only thing my non-theater-following friends had heard about the production when discussing my husband and I

He supposedly didn't enjoy the show... (or so I've heard.)

Observation said: "What are the chances they might film this for release? I'm not familiar with the show, but is it something that would come across on screen?"

I'd wondered this when they announced the B'way transfer. Maybe it was being transferred with the plans/contracts already in place for a live-capture. Could see this being a streaming (Hulu or Max or Apple etc.) thing. I would be thrilled to have this insanity preserved with the current cast!

That doesn't make for NEARLY the dramatic statement though. 


Musical adaptation of THE LOST BOYS.

The seating chart on View From My Seat says the overhang *starts* at row J, so probably OK unless something is staged directly above (which I'd doubt.)


Rocky Horror Show Revival Cast
 Jan 28 2026, 09:14:13 PM

Guessing their social media team already has something loaded and ready to go... maybe automated/pre-scheduled to post when the clock strikes 12 EST? (Barring any tech issues, last minute contract problems, desire to stretch out the anticip...)


Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - 1st National Tour
 Jan 28 2026, 09:12:41 PM

You said top of this thread that Harry Potter is going to change its touring business model in that instead of a 10-12 day pause between production, it is going to closing Sunday and opening in a different city on Tuesday. Do you agree you said that upthread?

If that is the case then it will need a jump set? No?"

Isn't the theory here they're scaling down the show to be able to do a 36 hr turnaround instead of the longer breakdown/setup ti

Yeah, duh. They highlight "originating" when she's mostly known for being hardly-memorable in roles performed many times previously... 🙄

Google 'bot says "known for originating..." then proceeds to list three out of four roles in revivals where she's not even in the top five names known for the roles. 😅


PADDINGTON musical in the works with music by Tom Fletcher & book by Jessica Swale

I'd guess "non expressive" is due to the guy who provides the expressions/voice being on-stage with the in-suit performer for the curtain call. 


'Romy & Michele' - Off-Bway Previews
 Oct 26 2025, 07:07:27 PM

7 PM show canceled at last minute. Right at 7pm they came out and said show was canceled due to circumstances beyond their control… Hope everyone’s OK, but also bummed it’s too late to pick another show for the evening. Selfish I know. 🫤

Isn't "...a hit, gimme it" directly lifted from a terrible Britney Spears song?

$80 million (was that it…?) is capable of altering a lot of traditions.

Just got three center orch row F seats for $105 each w/fees via reseller for tomorrow (Wed 8/30 eve). At THIS price, I'm gonna head across town and give it a fair shake. The original pricing... nope.

It's great in so many ways -- especially Pascal's "Pity..." but the audio quality is TERRIBLE. Such a disappointment in that regard. Sounds like it was

 Jun 11 2025, 02:57:50 PM

I just checked and it's selling more the past day compared to the past 4 weeks. I'm not on TDF but hopefully teh rest of the available seats will be filled up with TDF folks."

My friend Erik just posted an NYT interview piece with Madge today (or last night). Might have stirred up some interest...
