Like, does an okay but not exactly brilliant show somehow look worse when you know it has a rival version being developed by an incredibly strong set of creatives with slightly less money behind them?"I'm betting they all mention the dueling Gatsbys.

Broadway Flash said: "What's the latest on this? I was thinking Crazy For You, Betty Boop, or The Great Gatsby could be possibilities."It's been rumored (and reported here) that Hell's Kitchen has the Shubert.

The Bittersweets said: "pethian said: "Stephen Sondheim not being nominated for music or lyrics for A FUNNY THING."Fun fact! Just 11 days after the opening of Forum,anothermusical comedy set in Rome opened on Broadway in the same year! This (much lesser known) musical is called Bravo Giovanni, and it’s about a family owned Italian restaurant trying to stay afloat when a competing chain restaurant opens across the street. It opened to little fanfare and mixed reviews, and it closed after only ...

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "bear88 said: "Just a dumb question regarding recouping: I always assumed recoupment means recouping the full capitalization costs. Do investors get a dime if a show recoups its production costs but not its full capitalization?"The capitalization is the production cost. But that BTTF situation is confusingly worded: if it can recoup the $18M of hard costs without dipping into its reserve, it can then just return the ~6M reserve to investors. If it starts losing m...

The Distinctive Baritone said: "QueenAlice said: "Everyone thought a musical based on Orphan Annie was a horrible idea too."That one about the serial killer that has his neighbor turn the bodies into meat pies too… That said, Little Orphan Annie premiered as a comic strip in 1924, remaining popular for decades, with the musical opening on Broadway 33 years later in 1977. Betty Boop was popular in the 1930’s but has been largely off the radar of the American public since then.I wish everyone t...

ACL2006 said: "Sing Street is dead. National Lampoon's Broadway Vacation might be getting another workshop this Winter."I didn't know this about Sing Street. How heartbreaking for them. Their marquee was up at the Lyceum before the pandemic.

Jordan Catalano said: "As i said before, the physical production is identical but there’s *something* about the Broadway version that’s a bit off for me, and it very well might just be the cast, as good as they are. I mentioned earlier I’m seeing it at the Adelphi in a couple weeks with the new cast so I’ll be able to say for sure after that. But it is interesting."Please do report back after you see it. I'd love to hear your thoughts after reading what you say in the above post.

TaffyDavenport said: "Once you're on a date, you can navigate easily to any other date using a drop-down list, without having to back out to the previous screen."Thank you, Taffy.

How interesting. Can anyone think of another autobiographical musical that was directed by the subject?

bear88 said: "Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. A quick query: Once on the site to choose tickets, are you able to check on different dates for the best options without the risk of getting logged off"I have the same question. Hope someone can answer this.

inception said: "Would you re-watch shows you have seen before, or do you just want to see new shows?I'm planning on going at Xmas for an extended long weekend. On the Friday before the holiday there are matinee options, but mostly shows I have seen before like Hamilton, Hadestown, & Six. I'm not sure if I want to see something I've already seen (or already seen a few times like Hamilton). Maybe instead there will be an exhibit at one of the museums to go to instead of seeing a show just for ...

TellZ said: "Without Sierra?"Yes, what about that? She's otherwise engaged.

dramamama611 said: "If their nut is 950, they've hit that about 50% of the time (ish) - but the writing is on the wall."$950K was the number quoted for SLIH also. Do we think that was accurate? On face value it appears NYNY would be more expensive to run.

As long as they keep the "ice" on stage....

I agree that it sounds cheap. i would have thought for a Turtle Bay Gardens townhouse, and with that provenance, it would have been twice to three times that much.

Not only am i happy to hear this and will look forward to seeing it again, I think it's a good fit.
