I know it's not that unusual and there can be a thousand reasons both ways but when they announced the cast it was almost no one from the reading. Obviously creatives can want to go different ways and performers can turn down offers for a thousand reasons but I always wonder about this from the leads to the ensemble members.

I remember disliking this so much and was confused by what it was and what it was even trying to be but thinking the three gogo boy/bartenders were all really hot and they all went on to have nice careers so far-- Tony D'Alelio, John-Michael Lyles, and Ian Paget.

Has anyone else been experiencing major issues with the Passport site? I keep emailing and getting no answers.

I heard rumor of a stop clause being the main reason Cats closed (from a decent source but I don't know that for a fact). I don't understand why the Shuberts would force closure it in August if nothing was booked until spring 2027. Unless there's an unannounced short run in the fall as well we aren't aware of.

Someone once told me almost all AD-style tours it's either the designer basically did it for free (and got a lot of free things for the space) in order to have to shown as a calling card OR they do them to help them sell the house/apartment.Considering how obsessive his fans can be I agree sharing the layout of your home can be dangerous.

Kad said: "I mean, it’s not quite Paris Hilton in Mame but… stacking the cast with big names sort of cuts against what the show is explicitly about.And the book would definitely need to be updated. It was full of mid-00s cultural references and sensibility. Even the concept of rushing to get a show into a major NY theater festival is (sadly) dated now."Do the children today NOT know that Mary Stout WAS hit by a hot dog cart???

I'll also say the discussion of "Brits do accents better!" is silly. I've sat through many shows in London with TERRIBLE American accents. In fact they seem to either generally default to Newsies "New Yaaawkah" or this broad Gone with the Wind genteel southern even when the characters say they're from Colorado or wherever. I saw Good People in London and the Americans behind me were astonished when I said this takes place in Boston because Imelda and others were doing Barbra accents. I've als...

I've heard The Devil Wears Prada is swooping in.

A couple of weeks ago at This World of Tomorrow a couple in front of my talked for the first 10-15 minutes pretty much non-stop. I politely leaned down and asked if the could not talk and they did. But then the lady next to me checked her phone every 2 minutes for the next 15 minutes until during a scene change I said "can you please put your phone away" and she said FULL VOICE "I ONLY HAVE CHECKED IT A FEW TIMES!" and I said "please put it away" in a stronger tone and she kept talking full v...

Call_me_jorge said: "It’s too bad the New Victory Theatre isn’t a broadway house, because that front stairway would look so good."I always wish producers could petition the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing to include productions in alternative spaces as broadway/Tony-Eligible. I don't have any spaces in mind with a balcony but it would certainly widen the net in the search. I get they want the awards and attention and "on broadway!" of it all so I think they should be able to say...

I know actors and crew (union members) would have to be paid for the dark week but I'm guessing production doesn't have to pay for front of house and other non union backstage people for the week?

I might be misremembering but I remember a lot of Rudin's investors were upset that even though the show was basically 100% sold out from the start he was still buying $100k full page NYT ads for "Hello, Dolly." Even though they recouped it still seemed odd they couldn't have actually profited more vs just being made whole.

I feel like a lot of examples are done to help get the audience on their side. They want the audience to walk out with a "you know when I saw it..." story and since the majority of audiences aren't people in these boards who see a lot they likely won't ever compare notes. Spelling Bee had a bit where they made up words for the last speller and no matter what they said they'd say it was right, they'd sit back down only to be called up again to be given another word they'd then get wrong. Audie...

Audience was fine with it."I love when he realized he was saying the line "today I'm out of a job." It was very sweet and funny.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "The guy has had one credit since TAKE ME OUT. Who could blame him? It's also a way to continue his association with Scott Ellis, one of the most prolific directors around."He also replaced in Sh*t. Meet. Fan when Billy Magnussen had to drop out. So I can see it as both an Ellis link as well as possibly a NPH suggestion.

I can't confirm first hand but Hannah Solow had an instagram story the other day saying something like hearing Micaela Diamond sing "Gimme Gimme" was amazing so I assume Micaela was Millie and Hannah was either Mrs Meers or Miss Flannery. Anna Zavelson could be Millie or Dorothy but that would mean another character sings Gimme Gimme.I've always thought you could easily swap Meer's disguise to be anything over the top and kooky such as a Swedish Chef accent, a thick Scottish brogue, an absurd...

Crawford would be chosen because Trumps is OBSESSED with Phantom of the Opera. He saw it many, many, many times and often (pre political career) would fly cast members to Mar-a-Lago for events. Howard McGillian has a story (I think you can look it up on Seth Rudetsky's Obsessed) about being flown down and Trump tells the audience "they vote on these things and this guy was voted the very best Phantom and he's gonna come out and sing all the songs" and Howard is so confused and is like...the P...
