Seems like the Met and Gelb are really in a lose-lose to meh-meh situation. They're in between old school and new school, and neither school has the deep pockets to keep it afloat.

The very title had so much potential.

Luke Shepperd's website show production pics. Has a real Spring Awarkening vibe based on it. Wonder how it'll play in the West End or Broadway.

I happened to like the Off-Broadway revival, but I think it was just too soon after the original closed. Plus some of the leads' casting was questionable. 

How exactly are musicians supposed to compete against AI?

I've been to a few Kids' Nights and funnily enough, I found the parents to be worse than the kids. I remember being at Fiddler at the Minskoff and while the kids were surprisingly rapt and quiet, the mom insisting on checking in on them to see if they were okay and needed anything, rummaging through her bag for things for them.

Even if the licensing page didn't express prohibit it...just because you can, doesn't mean you should. 

Everyone who enters the theatre needs to have their own paid ticket. Theatres have clearly marked advisories.

Keep your f**king kids at home. End of story.

Great timing to announce her now. Maya's making the show bank right now, they need to focus on the summer, and with Hack wrapping up its run, there's interest in that cast now for what's next.

I can't remember the last time a performer on Bway so directly embraced (pursued?) a s*x symbol status."

He was a guest on the Dads and Daddies podcast the end of April. Guaranteed to leave you hot and bothered.

I was listening to The Happy Grownup podcast featuring Vanessa Williams, and she mentioned she signed her third extension to October...

And she says plans are for her to come to Broadway with the show in 2028!

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would've preferred anyone else besides Nichelle or Hannah in Featured. Nichelle didn't really register for me at all, and Hannah was lovely singing but maybe it was the role itself, but it didn't do much for me.

Otherwise, all the other nominees were pretty spot on. 

If there is damage that has to be repaired, and FDNY has to approve that work, it's going to be a long while before it can get a sign-off to re-open. Hopefully after 15 years they have some reserves, or maybe the creators can use some of their residuals to keep paychecks afloat, because this likely to be weeks, if not months.

It follows the fall of movie theatre cinema behavior and it comes down to one thing: money.

As in, "I paid a ton of money for this experience so I'm going to enjoy it the way I want."

Theatre owners don't help by treating it like an amusement park, selling popcorn and concessions in noisy cellaphane bags.

I thought when the news came out, it was noted that the staff would have to re-apply for their jobs, which implies they'd be let go while closed.

Ball of Buttah said: "Also, would love it if they recorded a cast album. Luke sounds heavenly and Stephanie sounds incredible. Can't get "Don't Dream It, BEEEE-eee It" out of my head 😩."

Loved a lot of the arrangements, and Luke, Stephanie, and Andrew have such great voices. 

Excited for both, hopefully they'll be able to actually run past Labor Day weekend with a Tony nominations boost next week.

I only hope that she has a good reason for leaving, even if she keeps it to herself. 

If it's really over a break-up, I'd be really disappointed.

I mean, she got shot in the foot. She's made of stronger stuff.
