I work front of house on Broadway. I can say that I am beyond glad that the QR codes are being used.
 

Keep in mind a couple of things. One is that, when Playbills arrive at the theatre they come tied up in bundles with 25 playbills in each. Depending on what area I’m seating people in I could easily have to do five bundles which would be 125 playbills. It’s tedious work and I’m glad they are ditching the slips. The number of people who take the slips home a

Yes, and I believe (though I may be mistaken) that Santino Fontana spoke with her for the same reason as Yazbeck. She offered to get constant testing in lieu of getting the vaccine but that didn’t sit well with the rest of the cast. Her idiotic reason for not getting it was that she believed th

That just means security has timed out.


I believe that whole collection of theatres between 44th and 45th are connected via outdoor gangways. It’s possible for someone to enter through The Shubert and exit through The Golden." 

Having been in some of those areas while working, while some but not all d

Though, since I have skin in the game, while I don’t wanna have to deal with a strike from either union, I am not optimistic that a strike from either of the two unions won’t occur."

Considering the current economy, I'd think all sides would want to trike a deal to avoid a work stoppage.<

spicemonkey said: "Is her name big enough to have a documentary produced. Super confused."

Someone must have thought so. I mean, it was able to find a distributor post film festival run. Lots of, if not all films that premier at a film festival use that as a platform to find a distribution company that wants to produce a given film. Though,  I do think that since it covers her time with Hamilton (along with her winning the Tony) it can get people at least curiou

I saw it last year when it premiered at The Beacon as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. While yes, Goldsberry is the subject of the documentary. And, while her story is interesting, it also does a fantastic job of pulling back the curtain and showing how hard it can be for a performer to balance work and life. Upon reflection, I feel that, while people may get that the work life balance is hard for someone on Broadway, the documentary shows that it may be more of a challenge to balance than

Jay Lerner-Z said: "P.S. By "regular" actor, I mean an actor who earns their living from acting. Not megarich celebrities."

How do you think the “mega rich celebrities earn their money? They do it via acting.

Also, if a show has well known actors in it, the producers may chose to have the theatre dark for a little bit than have to refund or exchange tickets. They would loose more money if they did it that wa. Rather than, of course having an un

Jay Lerner-Z said: "I really irk you two, don't I?

Leave me alone."

Jay, first off, the act of an actor on Broadway taking a couple of days off to film a movie or tv show in town is  something that routinely happens. It’s no big deal since it is a common occurrence. So yes, it does happen. And, if it’s known ahead of time, the production will post the dates of who’s out and for how long.

This part, tho."

Based on show photos and their Instagram page, Kolton presents as female both in the production and off-stage, and I imagine that most audience members - except perhaps for those in the first few rows - would just assume they are a
