Profile for Mr. Wormwood

CoffeeBreak said: "Could see 2 strangers doing a short contract extension through the new year capitalizingon the "holiday" aspect of the show and ending January."Yes, this is what I think will happen too.But I also thought Two Strangers would definitely close by Labor Day so who knows...

Lasting 4+ years (EDIT: 5+ years by closing!) after opening in the midst of the pandemic is nothing to scoff at. Plus it has been one of the few new musicals to recoup post-covid.Yes, it's limped along for awhile now but it had a strong and successful run.

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.

I wanted a little more from this production from a direction and design standpoint but I adored this cast and will always be thrilled and grateful I got to see Joshua Henry sing this part.

ACL2006 said: "Might they be changing theaters last minute? Possibly a current Bway show might be announcing their closing and they switch to that theater (Circle?)."Perhaps but I'd be surprised if it's Circle. Them just announcing Whitney Leavitt for Dec makes me think they're not about to announce a closing, even for after Dec.

Anything that screens in a movie theater will eventually be on a streaming service or TV, etc. If you don't want to see it in a theater, then wait until you can watch it at home? Pro-shots will not be replacing musical movies like Sound of Music or WSS."Yes, you're absolutely right re: "If you don't want to see it in a theater, then wait until you can watch it at home?", and that's exactly what I do.RE: "I don't really

John Adams said: "IMO, screening ProShots in a movie theater, at movie theater prices, isn't something I'd like to see become the norm.ProShots are for library archives, PBS and YouTube. The cinema is for movies that employ the movie-making skills in "The Sound of Music" and "WSS"."I don't really understand this.

I first saw Hamilton after some of the original cast left and was thrilled to see the proshot. I think the concern that it will hurt a show is overblown. If anything, it might help the show's legacy.

They can't afford to dip much (and would benefit fromincreasing avg price and % sold).

The first movie clearly helped the stage show's grosses. The second movie may have hurt it some or it also could be just an overcorrection from the Wicked mania that lasted basically from when the first movie was released to shortly after the second movie was released.

inception said: "Is he a real lifeMax Bialystock?"I've actually gotten the vibe that he is a true believer in what he's working on... to his detriment often. But I don't think it's put upon. I think he truly thinks everything he gets involved with is the next big thing.

Every season tons of pilots are filmed they never get series pickups. Same with network development deals.

Bowen will make the show Maya Rudolph type money I think

To me, this is one of those situations where a mistake was made and they corrected it quickly. Live and learn. No one besides Segers needs to get fired over it.

The Distinctive Baritone said: "She can’t commit to a man or a show it seems."Yikes. What year is it?

Is Spelling Bee for sure closing? I know it's only selling through Sep 6 but it feels like it could extend again especially with Heathers closing

Hadestown is the gold standard for replacement casting
