Re: Spirited Away in Movie Theatres, is it worth seeing?

Sep 3, 2026 — 1:12:52 PM

mitchern said: "The live stage adaptation of the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away will screen in US cinemas this October as part of Ghibli Fest. The production will be shownin its original Japanese language with English subtitles for two nights only on October 1 and 8.Has anyone seen it? Any good?"I think that the movie is an artistic masterpiece. But, maybe that’s just me. But, while it is a fantastic movie you don’t need to see it in theatres if you don’t want to. HBO Max has pretty much al...

Re: Service Dogs in Theaters

The annoyance that I have experienced as an usher (feelings not limited to just mine) is that there are people who just bring their dog with them that isn’t a service dog in any form or fashion. They just couldn’t live a few hours without Fido being there with them. we could tell when a dog was a service dog or not. However, NY state law says that you can’t legally ask the person if it’s a service dog. So normally we just had to deal with it when it happend since there was nothing we could do...

Re: Anyone know what's actually going into New World Stages?

Mr. Wormwood said: "People have been predicting Six to either close or move to NWS for YEARS now. It still could happen but I'll believe it when an official announcement is made."Thanks. What you said makes sense,thanks. I guess it shouldn’t be such a shocker to me that there seem to be posters here who have claimed things are going to occur and never come to fruition. Like you, I’ll believe Six will move to New World when there is a press release.

If this is going to be an immersive production, how would they even go about doing it? When it comes time for the barricade scenes in act to, what are they gonna do? Give everyone a prop gun to shoot?

New Slam Frank ad inspired by the Paddington musical

Jul 30, 2026 — 9:35:17 PM

I saw this earlier today and c believe it. Making an ad campaign based on a cute missing teddy bear drawing is one thing. But, to take that same idea, and then to try to use it to advertise a show about a girl who WAS in fact wanted by the nazis and had to hide because of it. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0adNm6yZ41_IiZTFECYL1e0pQ

I go to the Christmas show at Radio City and everybody has their phones out there so I hope Les Miz isn’t the same way."After having gone, I can tell you that this is a different crowd than those who go to the the Christmas show. And, radio city closes their concession ten minutes before the show, and make announcements to let the audience know ahead of time. They even have and are adhering to a late seating...

The Death of the Understudy Slip

Jonathan Cohen said: "Getting rid of understudy slips really drives me nuts, not because I'm against it in a vacuum but The Broadway League is being really selective in what they consider wasteful. At least those slips are giving me information I'll look at. The full color inserts I often get in Playbills reminding me to turn off my phone I'm sure aremore expensive to make and are pretty redundant, as ushers are paid to make the same point."I can tell you from my experience as a front of hous...

Metropolitan Opera's money crunch

Jan 21, 2026 — 9:26:06 AM

I had initially read about all this in an article in the NY Times. One thing Gelb mentioned is that they are considering was to turn the Met into a concert venue in the offseason. This is during the gap between ABTs season ending and when the Met reopens for the next season. The article mentioned that The Last Ship starring Sting was an example he gave
