The 79th Annual Tony Awards Telecast!
ViniFromBrazil said: "I know it’s not fair but this Book of Mormon number was better than all the new musicals"The only new musical offerings I found remotely interesting this season is Two Strangers. I saw Pippin at Signature Theater in Arlington a few days ago, and thought it was leagues better than most of the musicals I saw on Broadway this season. Thank goodness the plays have been strong.
The 79th Annual Tony Awards Telecast!
This production of Ragtime left me cold. The direction made the problems in the book much more glaring that they already were in the original production. It was a good revival for checking all the boxes, but it feels much more superficial/fluffy than Cats despite the topics it engages with.
DEATH OF A SALESMAN 2026 Previews
Jumpin_J said: "It may be a good production. Hell, it could be a great production. But I loath at the idea of giving Scott Rudin my money. Unless he had a "come to Jesus" moment, which to the best of my knowledge he hasn't, there's a good reason he was chased out of Broadway. But he's got an EGOT so theater owners will bend over for him. It's gross. No thanks."Have you entertained the possibility that this production is only possible because of Rudin?
DEATH OF A SALESMAN 2026 Previews
What a marvelous production! Metcalf did it again this season, and I so hope she brings home two Tonys come this June. The cast is across the board fantastic, and the brings so much to and so much out of the material. So much so that I wish they could've done away with the epilogue. It doesn't feel like an organic part of the play but more like a Miller shouting the audience "Hey this is what this play is about" scene, and it worked in some productions. But in this one, it feels to me that th...
THE FEAR OF 13 Previews
I thought it was okay. Not a big fan of exposition heavy shows, but it does make some sense here in that the character has a penchant for speech. The perspective shift was quite interesting but I felt they could make better use of it and there's a lot of lost potential there. My biggest gripe is that as someone who actually volunteered at DOCCS, the play's portrayl of the COs to me was laughably comical and made it apprarent to me that the production did not bother to do real research. There ...

Kad said: "quizking101 said: "Question, and I ask this with the notion it may get messy:And of course, he has billionaire Barry Diller at his side. I suspect many in the industry will swallow any reservations they have about Rudin if the money rolls in."Please keep the money rolling in. Rudin's taste has been sorely missed in the last few years.

Anything with Metcalf, count me in!I presume this is a Rudin production? If yes, please more Rudin productions^^
Jonathan Groff Sets 2025 Broadway Return with JUST IN TIME?
inception said: "I hope this is the main thread for this show. Saw thislast night.Today wrapping up my 2025 visit with Chess and later Seat of Our Pants. Mid-week when I was packing to leave DC I felt like the 5 days I spent there was enough & I was actually ready to go home. But that half of the trip was a lot more walking through museums; and especially the African American History Museum was very difficult. I didn't even read everything just to protect myself emotionally.But I had tickets ...
The flop that finally flew: why did it take 40 years for Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along to soar?
https://youtu.be/nR6A59xARy8?si=Pn3-Nghv6um69Tf3Found a recording of the opening number of the Donmar production. Truly fascinating. I guess Sondheim deep down believed the original version, or at least the idea of it, should've worked, and this was a chance for him to prove that. And maybe the revised version worked enough so he wasn't in a position to openly reject it or reverse it, so he limited the experiment to the Donmar production. It's also quite interesting that in the Roundabout/Fiasc
Universal's WICKED Films - News & Discussion Thread
Watching Bailey in As Long As You’re Mine was like watching a T-Rex about to devour a goat. It was literally scary and psycho killer chic in 3D. He and Erivo had the chemistry of Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivier in Moulin Rouge, which is basically non-existent. For Good was good and benefited from the restraint of camerawork, although I do feel they could pare it down a bit more and let the song do the work. Overall it’s a bunch of hits and misses but I don’t regret watching it.

Yeah no. No one can stop me from watching Only Murders and certainly no one can't stop me from being at Laurie Metcalf's triumphant return to the Broadway stage after 2 years.

What about Audra and Nicole in Follies?
jlindsey865 said: "Ke3 said: "I say this as someone who has wanted Nicole to do musical theatre since I was 14, you’d have to think very little of Audra as an actress to cast her opposite Nicole."Nicole did just beat Audra out of a Tony this past season…"And Will Rodgers Follies beat Miss Saigon. Guess that show must be a household name everyone can't stop talking about.
