Laurette Taylor in "The Glass Menagerie." I want to experience THE singular performance the legends in "Broadway: The Golden Age" were so inspired and moved by.

I just had to click onto the menu and the video caught back up for me.

Patti LuPone discusses a similar incident in her book regarding "The Baker's Wife." David Merrick called a meeting after a performance of the pre-Broadway tour stop in San Francisco and offered the company the option to drop a city from the tour, return to New York, and re-rehearse the show for 9 weeks. If a performer made more than $500 per week, there would be no rehearsal pay. Any actors making less than $500 per week would enter negotiation with the Merrick office."The star and the princi...

I was actually very worried because I was completely wearing a bag and no one looked at it.Now I know I am a 40-something invisible woman and my purse was very nice… but you never know."Correct. Your bag was screened as you walked through the poles.I go to many arenas, concert venues and theaters, and it's very interesting to see how the security screening technology is improving. The trend is shifting towards ...

They certainly seem to get some interesting "names" to appear in their productions (Garrett Clayton and Jodi Benson within the last few years). It looks to be a very small performing space in a strip mall plaza. Has anyone else heard of them or attended their producti...

I'd wondered about this collection and whether or not it was located near the Los Angeles fires. Glad to see it's still intact, and that it's finally being properly digitized and shared with the community!

Jordan Catalano said: "The video at Lincoln center is a gorgeous, broadcast quality video. "I'm most intrigued to learn more about the actual audio and video quality. I always keep my expectations low, to avoid disappointment, and I hope to be pleasantly surprised when I do eventually see this recording the next time I travel to NYC.How does the quality and filming style compare to the original Broadway press reel footage, as seen here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzngoptNjPcDark VHS tape...

Does this use the Angela Lansbury narration during the prologue?

At 10:00am, the page refreshed and indicated that there were already more than 5,000 people ahead of me and the wait would be about 55 minutes."It said the same thing to me, but that rapidly decreased, and at 10:15 it just let me in.Entry times every 15 minutes from 7PM to 8:15PM on days with evening-only performances.$225 plus a $16.50 feeMatinees have 15 m...

I absolutely love the original cast recording of "Nightingale" with Sarah Brightman. He wrote such a clever, catchy score with great wit in the lyrics. It's one of those recordings you listen to and really feel you get a complete sense of the show and story... no visuals required.

Optics.I’ve walked through the metal detectors with my phone in my pocket (mistakenly)more than once in the past, and I’ve never had the metal detector go off.I worry that half of these security implementations at theaters are just to make people “feel” safe and to purport a false sense of security."Fortunately this is not the case re: metal detectors. ...

Apologies in advance if this has been mentioned earlier in the thread. I saw Andrew Lloyd Webber last Wednesday as part of the Speaker Series in Pittsburgh. He talked about Jamie Lloyd's production of "Sunset Boulevard" and briefly touched on him directing "Evita" in London. He said Lloyd's vision of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is to have Eva perform it from the Palladium's front facade balcony, addressing any passersby on the street who stop to listen, and have it live-broadcast into the th...

binau said: "If this was the Sam Mendes production it would be poweful in the finale if he removed the mask, all exposed in the uniform etc."I'm guessing he'll remain in his smaller mask throughout the performance. Would be cool if during the drumroll at the end, he moves to take off the mask just as the blackout occurs. Maybe you get a very brief blink-and-you-miss-it glimpse.Since the mask is such an important part of his stage persona, would appearing as a replacement in the Broadway produ...

They'd certainly have to re-work the beginning of Act 2. Click Here To Toggle Spoiler ContentTrying to choreograph an outdoor walk in each city would be a logistical and security nightmare. A more feasible strategy would be to have him walk indoors from backstage to the lobby area, or just through the auditorium. But again, this would have to be re-worked in every city, and I'm not sure there would be time to plan and rehearse it all during load-in.

Both of those sound like a walk in the park compared to the insanity that was the original "Sunday In The Park With George" stage door...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pne76g_WP8

Can anyone who went last night (or who goes in the near future) elaborate on the mezz sightlines? I'm trying to figure out if row E center mezz will be too obstructed as far as anything happening on the passarelle.Thanks

At the first preview of "Dear Evan Hansen," they gave out baby blue rubber bracelets with "#YOUWILLBEFOUND" and "DEAREVANHANSEN.COM" on them in white text.
