TaffyDavenport said: "It was member tickets, not subscription tickets, for those who didn't subscribe to the series."I've been a subscriber at the KC for several years. I don't believe there has been a separate subscription for the Broadway Center Stage productions. If you are a "Theatre Subscriber" you were given an option to add those shows as part of your regular season subscription at any time before they go on sale to the general public. Subscribers generally has the first shot at purcha...

RunnyBabbit said: "I asked at the box office tonight when I was there for Sunset Boulevard. They said subscription tickets are going on sale tomorrow (2/7) and general tickets are going on sale 2/21." It's the 7th and the website still says "Ticket On Sale Date To Be Announced".

Another you might want to consider is Dogfight. Terrific Pasek and Paul music based on a movie by the same name.

Along with Heathers and American Idiot, I'd suggest you look at the musical Cruel Intentions. It is based on the 90s movie which stared Reece Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe (and before that the classic Dangerous Liaisons). The show had off-broadway / LA / Edinburgh Fringe runs in the past couple of years. Not sure about it's licensing status, but it's worth checking out. The cast recording is available. https://www.dramatists.com/cgi-bin/db/single.asp?key=5930 and http://www.cruelmusical.com/#...

It seems like there is a move to revise and tighten the show. I saw it a few weeks ago at George Mason University in Virginia. Since I'd never seen the original I have no idea how much this new iteration differs from the original. The article indicates they are hoping for a London production in the near future. https://dcmetrotheaterarts.com/2019/10/18/new-revision-of-broadway-musical-rags-is-a-timely-story-of-the-immigrant-experience/

Signature also has great $25 student tickets. Very seldom do I pay full fare for a ticket there...as long as I plan ahead. Additionally they have day-of rush tickets too. However I am NOT a fan of their bar stool seats on the back row of the balcony.

I'm looking forward to seeing this new take on the choreography. http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/theater_dance/without-michael-bennetts-choreography-is-it-still-a-chorus-line/2019/10/30/b758eaa4-f9a3-11e9-ac8c-8eced29ca6ef_story.html

This is a terrific documentary that explains a bit more; especially Standby. The Standbys

Either way, be prepared for every high school and community theater to do this as soon as the rights are available."Haven't the rights always been available, even during the Broadway run? I thought I read somewhere that the producers kept them available and there's even been regional productions while it was on Broadway."Yes rights have always been available for the original, pre-broadway, material.

There was a version of Pinocchio that ran in London a couple of years ago. At the time there was some discussion of a transfer. Haven't heard much about it since that time. https://www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=1106441#5004240

Which theatre was it......so I'll be sure NOT to go to that one for the next fathom event? Thanks!

The show is back on......but being delayed for 2 weeks to make up for lost rehearsal time. It's being given a PG-13 rating to inform audiences. Additionally, actors performing in the show must have a signed permission slip from parents. AND they are making the script available for folks to read before the show if they want more info about the content.

Text from Washington Post article on this situation. Post Article LinkBy Donna St. GeorgeApril 23 at 11:08 PMFor months, students at Hyattsville Middle School in Maryland practiced for their spring musical. They recited lines, learned songs and imagined the world of the spelling bee contestants who were at the heart of their show.Then, just before spring break, performances of the “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” were canceled with little explanation — setting off a wave of concer...

Several great choices from Be More Chill and The Prom. I know that Be More Chill also released a karaoke version of their accompaniment tracks which would be easy to use at a Cabaret. You could definitely consider all of Natalie's songs in Next To Normal. American Idiot might work too; as well as Dogfight (even though we don't know Rose's exact age).ps - Last 5 years isn't really teen. It's more 20s angst.

Mark Ballas has full sleeve tattoos and during Jersey Boys (maybe at the Muny this summer??) he posted a video of the flesh colored body stocking he wears to totally cover his arms.

I really hope Katherine, Marissa and Jack are remembered because so many more shows will be opened long then and they won’t be there next year"List of all Eligible productions

CedricOates said: "No Hadestown?" that jumped out at me too; as well as Heathers.

I’ve seen some local ads for technical jobs in recent weeks. Tickets are on sale now. Looks like they’re trying to tap the peak tourist season in DC performing 5 show weekends. https://www.museumofthebible.org/amazing-grace-musical?view=0&date=2019-03-01

CATSNYrevival said: "I liked the title Little Dancer better."absolutely a better title . I wonder what precipitated the change? Confusion with Elton's "Tiny Dancer"? But Marie is awfully generic. It's not an iconic name like Evita or even Amelie . I saw that Tiler Peck is back in the lead role after having also done it at the Kennedy Center; as are a number of the other folks from that cast.
