Seaview Planning Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Broadway Revival Directed by Sam Gold
 Apr 21 2026, 10:08:54 AM

Sam Gold's iffy track record gives me pause. When he's great, he's really great. When he misses, he misses hard. Not sure that he's the director that I would've tapped for this, but I remain optimistic. Curious to see who will be in the cast.

Not a bone in my body that gives a damn about any of the shows in this season. Ugh.

I am truly shocked at the exclusion of Oedipus. It’s one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. 


Full Monty revival casting wishes

My pipe dream is Joanna Gleason as Jeanette.

Tom Francis for Jerry? Yes, he's young, but by the time the show opens he'll only be a year younger than Patrick Wilson was when he did it. Plus, I think that Tom reads older than he is. He certainly did in Sunset Blvd.

Looking at the website, it says that the lowest-priced ticket is already sold out, and this “low-tier” ticket is already quite expensive in comparison to a regular ticket for the majority of shows. Since it’s a one-night-only event, the lottery will likely be very difficult to win, given that many people are going to be competing for the one and only chance to see this. TDF is also very unlikely - since the show seems to be selling quite well already and will probably contin

I think that a 3 hour show vs. a 2:45 show, or a 2:45 show vs a 2:30 show, could absolutely be a dealbreaker for some folks. Especially for people who have kids to get home to, work in the morning, etc. 


Could Lea Michele be the next Rose in GYPSY on Broadway?

I might get torn to shreds for this, but in 20-30 years, I want Mackenzie Kurtz as Rose.

Dramamama, I feel that I need to say this -

After many years of reading your posts on this site, and becoming familiar with how you typically express your thoughts, it absolutely delighted me and made me laugh out loud to see you use that phrase. Thank you for that. I, too, am gagged.

Sergio Trujillo to direct Broadway revival of DAMN YANKEES for Spring 2027l

I would think that Donica and McClure will be still be attached at a minimum. The team seems to want to stick with Villafane as well, but in my opinion, she is the most replaceable.

This production was incredible at Arena. I saw it multiple times. Extremely happy that it's living on.


Jury finds that Ticketmaster illegally monopolized the ticketing industry
 Apr 15 2026, 03:30:39 PM

We'll see how this plays out in reality, but it seems like a win for those who patronize live entertainment.

Pink to Host the 2026 Tony Awards

They’re attempting to increase viewership. A host like Cynthia is great but she doesn’t intrigue the masses who aren’t devoted theatre goers like us. They hardly know who she is, if at all. P!NK is somebody with credibility and mass appeal who can get the ratings up. That’s the entire reason behind this decision."

I know what they're trying to do. Pink is not a hot topic right now. They would've

Ratings wise it doesn't really make sense. She has no personal tie to Broadway, unless she's going into something. It's a sign of the times thatyet again the Broadway powers that be have absolutely no idea WTF they're

Wild choice but I do love her. I think she’ll do really well. Looking forward to it.

I saw Paranormal Activity during its DC run. It has a few cool special effects but is not a good play. And this is coming from me, a horror fanatic who loves the Paranormal Activity movies. It will burn and die quickly on Broadway.

I liked If/Then a lot. I saw it on B’way with Idina then again on tour with Jackie. I think it’s an under-appreciated show. But a classic? That’s laughable. I know that my opinion is a minority one. It’s not beloved - as evidenced by the fact that it’s rarely, if ever produced. I know that Pace University inexplicably did a production a couple of years ago (really weird choice for a college, right?) but other than that I don’t even know where it’s bee

Mezzo, it is hilarious to see you speak about somebody else’s arrogance. Look in the mirror, babe. Critical thinking isn’t your strong suit, huh?
