Re: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD 2021 Previews

Aug 28, 2026 — 9:56:55 AM

Lincoln centre would have, but it would just be a 3/4 camera archive. I don't know of a professional recording. I'm wondering what are the odds of Rupert extending ala Tom, and being in the role over summer or even til January 2028?

Where is Alice Ripley?

Aug 28, 2026 — 9:51:50 AM

I'm curious if there are any projects or concerts that anyone is aware of that Alice Ripley is having. We've been wanting to see her perform again, now for about five/six years and truly can not find anything she's been in or working on. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Possible OH, MARY casting thoughts

Aug 25, 2026 — 1:04:19 PM

My friend and I were talking about the potential for OH MARY casting. It seems like there is endless potential. I'm curious how long they could keep it running.Is there any chance we see: Dan Levy, or Tina Fey or Amy Poehler, or Jennifer Coolidge (who personally I'd love in it), or Lisa Kudrow.We really missed out, because I think Joan Rivers or Robin Williams would have been great in this role.

Re: Is PHANTOM Returning?

Aug 24, 2026 — 3:01:26 PM

it would only make me happy if we are to expect a full revival of the Hal Prince version. One thing I think is just reviving the original but incorporate some of the new technology available, better pyro/lighting etc.

Re: Upcoming Scott Rudin projects

Aug 12, 2026 — 9:52:23 PM

Unfortunately his Blanchett/Andrews Little Night Music never materialized. I would love to see him revival something lush and grand like Titanic or South Pacific or Follies or to have him take on the rumoured Les Mis revival or Singing in the RainI would also love to see him bring in some big names: Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock or John Travolta or Helen Mirren. I look back so fondly at Hello, Dolly I do believe it was such a perfect revival and then to have Bette. Selfishly I guess I just ...

Upcoming Scott Rudin projects

Aug 10, 2026 — 9:51:44 PM

With the success of Death of A Salesman, I'm curious what the word is on next Scott Rudin projects. I read that there were three projects, any word on what those might be, or who might be in them?

Re: Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?

Aug 2, 2026 — 7:26:51 PM

Honestly this is welcomed news. I was looking forward to Jonathan Bailey, But I honestly I would love to see Samantha Barks, Laura Osnes, Caissie Levy or Hannah Waddingham in the role of Dot. I believe it could be fantastic.

The State of Broadway

Jul 14, 2026 — 9:37:28 PM

Fred Mason said: "Theatrefanboy1, I would actually argue Broadway needs to focus on getting localsback in the theater. There has been more and more focus on tourists, but I think producers should be producing new interesting work that on paper might notappeal to the masses. That doesn’t mean liberal or conservative btw, but just something NEW. The best work in the last five years has come from new works by Michael R Jackson, Shaina Taub, Bess Wohl, Bruce Norris, Annie Baker, Tracy Letts, Davi...

Next for the Broadhurst

Jul 14, 2026 — 5:29:41 PM

herecomesmama said: "FWIW the Bess Wohl show being mentioned above apparently is a revival of Small Mouth Hands with Julia Roberts, someone on Broadway reddit mentioned this a month or so ago in passing."You heard the Small Mouth Hands revival with Julia Roberts as well? I had heard it a while back through a different source as well, that was for winter 2026- spring 2027? Correct? I hadn't heard anything more so I thought it had passed.

The State of Broadway

Jul 14, 2026 — 5:16:28 PM

Unfortunately with Broadway's state, it is a mix of a number of dire situations: 1) Affordability - I know people that would come to the city annually, and see 12-15 shows in 8-10 days, then their budget for shows would remain the same but they would only be able to see 4-5 now its 3-4. That as well as the overall increase in expense to spend a week or 10 days in the city between accommodations and food and everything has become so out of budget, that many are choosing Tennessee road trips, o...

Three Days Rain Broadway 2027

Jul 13, 2026 — 10:29:29 PM

I'm curious if there's any rumours of where Three Days Rain will be? Something smaller like Booth or Lyceum or Broadhurst or do we anticipate something bigger?

James Lapine follow up to Putting it together?

Jul 11, 2026 — 12:48:57 PM

Has anyone heard if James Lapine, is actually working on a followup to Putting it Together? One that discusses Into The Woods and Passion. I swear when Putting It Together I had read that he and Sondheim had recorded interviews/discussions on Into the Woods and Passion, for future publications and archives. But I've been searching the internet today and can't find anything. Has anyone heard anything of a similar nature. I would love a follow up.

Loving You: The Untold Sondheim podcast

Jul 10, 2026 — 3:45:20 PM

I downloaded the podcast as I was traveling with no data and service and it was my only option other than silence. I truly tried to gain some sort of insight, but am I the only one to find it came across as two gossips making inferences and telling stories that I don't know should have been told or was made out to be far more important than it was. I don't I just found it to be disrespectful of those who have passed. At first I had hoped there would be a redeeming moment or something to conne...

New Movie of Phantom

Jul 10, 2026 — 3:39:56 PM

Why do I feel the cast will be:Christine: Rachel ZeglerPhantom: Jonathan Bailey, Raoul: Harry Styles or Timothee ChalametI wish they would adapt and do something great instead of this crap, like Wicked suffered because of it as have a great many films. It doesn't produce films like Wizard of Oz or Sound of Music, that stand the test of time. Even Chicago or Moulin Rouge are lasting well done films. But man, unfortunately, Webber gets so many bad casting ideas.

DOLLY: A TRUE ORIGINAL MUSICAL begins on Broadway in December 2026

Jul 9, 2026 — 12:16:50 AM

Honestly, I would hope that they would get Kristin Chenoweth to lead this thing (yes, I know QOV), but as big as Dolly's name is I think this would work well with both, and I do feel they need a bit of a name to help this to float. I only hope they did some major reworking to the book and set and costumes. I want so badly for this to succeed. Dolly deserves it to succeed. A secondary choice to headline as Dolly for me would be Megan Hilty. The Nashville version just fell flat, and while I lov...

what's next for Caissie Levy

Jun 19, 2026 — 6:22:20 PM

Jordan Catalano said: "Part of me thinks she’d make a wonderful Mrs. Brown in “Paddington”."I was wondering the same thing too!!! I was asking because I was recently told she's "being considered for a couple things" but no comment on if it was for this coming season or any timeline. I think shed be great in a musical that I really enjoy

what's next for Caissie Levy

Jun 19, 2026 — 4:08:53 PM

With her recent Tony win, and the show closing in August, I'm curious if she has anything lined up for the Fall or if she plans to take a break. She has been working pretty consistently now for years. Would love to hear if there was any word on her joining anything this coming season

A lot of theaters are going to be vacant in the coming months - any idea of what’s going where?

I'm trying to schedule to be there for opening.
