Disney knows it's only competition truly is themselves. No other producing company, theatrical or otherwise, has taken the youth market like they have. Even Universal after making Wicked hasn't really gone back to the well. Will Disney ever have as many shows open as they used to? No, when they open more than two shows, the only company that ends up losing customers is Disney. It's the same reason we'll never see a fifth gate open in Walt Disney World. The real business plan is to solidify th...

I'll take it just to erase half those American accents from the current pro-shot out of my mind. I'll never recover.

Schwartz has one he's been working on for ages. It's called Snapshots and it's unbearable.

I love the idea of a Kelli and Laura Benanti Revival. I think Laura's got an icy and angry Phyllis ready to tear **** up.

If this is truly bugging you, I sense the lead character looming over this production will be your ego. Congrats!

I reckon WIll himself is probably not available simply because Audra is. They've got 4 kids between them with three still living at home I'm pretty sure that for Audra to do this Will isn't gonna be doing the 8 shows a week grind while it's happening.

When I used to house manage in the city we had an instance where a pregnant audience member demanded to be changed to a seat farther away from the front of the stage because she was pregnant and a lot of the characters were smoking. We explained they were herbal cigs but she kept insisting we refund the difference of her ticket, yelling during intermission that she knew they were real cigarettes because she could smell them. Our manager then tried to explain that they legally couldn't be real...

Not to sidetrack the conversation, but as someone who loved Donna in Dolly, what about it was an unhappy experience? I do agree trying to get a standby for this is ludicrous. She barely sings in Act 2. She's the name draw. She's still remarkably woefully unknown by a lot of the general public.

When I used to work in an off-broadway theater complex in the city we'd get someone there on the wrong day once or twice a week. People really didn't understand they couldn't just come on another day and use their ticket. Once in a while people would leave a show in one space five minutes in and ask if they could use their ticket to instead watch one of the other shows, not realizing that's now how things work.

The lack of literature in Florida has really affected the masses, hasn't it.

this is super interesting to read as someone who's always been trained to sort of ignore the nomenclature and sort of approach each role or audition in whatever way my voice finds it best. I found whenever I called myself a Baritone or a Tenor people's opinion of what I sang or what they thought was right would always change, anyway. I've done seasons where I did the lower solo lines in the ensemble in Les Mis and then was the one on the top line for Who's Tommy. I think people like Nicholas ...

I think there's also honestly nowadays more money to be made for those really amazing choreographers in other things. With the number of shows being put up being much less than in the past, the idea that an up-and-coming choreographer could have a show or two mounted every year and sort of naturally make their way up the chain to directing is a lot more fragmented. And now with how often shows are workshopped as two-day readings and hardly ever any workshops, they sort of become the least lik...

The fact that the music and the ensemble sound so crisp. I know it's less instruments and less voices than Sweeney, but you also get the feeling this wasn't as meddled with. I'm over the over-produced sound of most modern cast recordings.

You want us to agree to disagree on you being racist? This place has certainly seen better days.

I'm flying in just to see both shows and ended up putting Merrily First because I didn't want to spend all of Merrily still thinking about Here We Are, but I can see your point of view as well! Love reading the reactions to both shows here on the board and super ready for my Sondheim day! I'll be seeing Company in Chicago a week later!

Chris Harper posted on instagram from the rehearsal, just a close up of the set minuatures. I can already spot some changes in the dimensions of the rooms, which would affect some of the magic that happens in the show. With rehearsals clearly underway, seems weird not to capitalize on that to get the press release out on casting.

Kinda crazy not to have it posted yet, especially if rehearsals did begin today. Do we think they're still trying to finalize someone for the show? I can't imagine any role except Joanne needing that sort of work, seeing the cast had such a deep bench. Maybe less of them were into touring the show I'm seeing the show in Chicago and I can't wait!

My guess is the show would have fared well/better with a rotating cast. The cast announcement didn't leave me gagged considering how many amazing theater queens and Ru queens there are in NYC.
