Profile for BroadwayMan5

does anyone know why Finding Neverland is not available for licensing or even announced by a licensing company? Is it because of Harvey Weinstein's involvement or another reason? I know it wasn't a great show but it seem surprising given it had a decent run on Broadway and on tour. Just curious.

I was at Tootsie tonight and the orchestra was full, maybe just a small handful of empty seats at most. I did not see the mezz.

 

i enjoyed the show (the book more than the score as everyone says) and the crowd seemed to be having a great time. Santino was awesome.

Behind the Curtain is my favorite and it has a ton of episodes at this point. If you want anger/cringe factor, listen to Broadway Binge where two "woke" millennials basically trash classic musicals with very little understanding of the musicals themselves.

I thought it was a decent show and it had a great run, breaking out early in a crowded season. It will surely be a huge hit in the regional/amateur/high school arena when licensing is available.

"Nobody" from BANDSTAND

"Almost Like Being in Love" from BRIGADOON (Sorry...)

"I Decided to Marry You" from GENTLEMEN'S GUIDE

"Find Your Grail" from SPAMALOT

Sad but not surprising. Thankful I got to see this beautiful and moving production.

This kind of thing is the least of MTI's concerns and you aren't even sure of his age so leave it alone.

I think some musicals are dated in the sense that they just aren't that enjoyable anymore (and probably weren't great to begin with) but I'm so tired of people putting 2018 eyes on works from the 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. If you don't want to see or be in a show from that era then don't. There are plenty of shows that may have a "troubling" element from their time period but they are too good overall to be ignored or rejected.

I am devastated to hear this. I really hope they can figure something out or re-open still in the theatre district. I've feared this news for a long time. I almost always buy something when I visit there even when I don't need to just to support everything that shop represents for bookstores, independent businesses, and theater.

I'm really sad about this. I especially enjoyed the fall/spring previews and Tony predictions editions with the array of critics

Yes haha, of course we are seeing the show

Thank you everyone. If anyone else can give some info on particular actors, that would be great. 

This is a group of high school students & I fully expect them to behave well. If they don't, that will not be tolerated by me! A few are big DEH fans and wanted to do the stage door so I thought I would look into it. The idea of splitting into two groups is a good one!

I'm bringing a group of students to Dear Evan Hansen in a few weeks. Can anyone tell me how the stage door is these days? Who comes out on a regular basis? Thanks!!

Is that confirmed? I know that's all it's on sale for now but is it possible/likely it will extend?

Summer just got extended to next August, and is Kinky boots really closing? or do you think it will close?

Those are my guesses, not any sort of insider knowledge

By January: Head Over Heels, Gettin' the Band Back Together, Summer, Once on this Island, Beautiful, Kinky Boots

Within the next year: Waitress, Anastasia, maybe Pretty Woman

Lol, no one knows who that is, love."

That's not true. When I was posting on social media about going to see the show in July, friends of mine (not the major theatre buffs) asked me if "Monk" was there or how "Monk" was in the show
