I'm said I won't get to see this. I just looked yesterday for tickets on a September Wednesday and decided, based on how expensive they were, to just wait and try TKTS to get a better seat for (likely) a better price than the $115 for the last couple of rows.

My assumption is they'll be frozen earlier than the 19th but just wanted to have opening night be Dolly's birthday. This way they're open for Christmas/New Year and get the press blitz later in January

If this doesn't start selling tickets this will hurt licensing."This will absolutely be a hit when it's licensed because it's a parody of a movie every person in existence has seen at least once and features music by an artist every person in existence has at least heard of. On top of that, they get to marke...

Because no choreographer has ever successfully transitioned to directing? Do y'all even like theatre around here, or do you just need somewhere to go to complain and feel some modicum of power in your sad lives?

Why is everyone here suddenly so concerned with producers "wasting money" or "throwing money away" on new works? Broadway is a losing business, for the most part. Producers know this. Why do you all care? I swear, every time a new show is announced, every one on this board acts like they manage these people's financial portfolios.

I have to think Jeremy Jordan is the better (and smarter) choice. Morrison's career has been in an absolute tail spin for the last 5+ years, between those cringeworthy viral videos of his time on The Greatest Dancer to his unhinged horny Grinch in the live NBC musical in 2020 to getting fired from So You Think You Can Dance and doing a Christmas movie for the horribly-rated and anti-gay Candace Cameron Bure network.He might be more a liability than a draw.

I just saw Matt Rogers's Christmas show this past week, and I hope the producers of this are already in touch with his team.

It could be a play; I saw her in Steel Magnolias a few years ago.

Saw this on Friday night (Philly suburb, 7 of us in the theatre) and really loved it. I've never seen the musical, only the play, but I was very taken with Conden's concept and the juxtaposition of the bleak prison scenes with the vibrant fantasy sequences. (Big "Steppin' to the Bad Side" vibes from the morphine dream, so he definitely has a style.)The final act is a bit tedious, but making this movie with this message right now feels so very right, and I left with only positive feelings desp...

If so, you’re doing a great job.All the jokes are based on current affairs or specific currently trending people, events or situations, which automatically means this show is dated as soon as the current production ends.

Aside from the live action BatB, his most recognizable film role is in the Fast & Furious franchise as Jason Statham's brother.

They really just didn't know how to market this show. I've been seeing the same ad for it on Pluto TV since that very strange (read: bad) Tony performance, and there was no sense of what the snow was about or even what it's style/genre/lane was, just that they were seemingly courting a female audience. Honestly, it reminded me of a promo I saw years ago for Menopause: The Musical.
