I received an email from TDF this morning informing me that this evening’s performance of REBORNING had been canceled. Later this afternoon I learned that all future performances are suspended due to a fire in the building that houses the theater. Very sad for those involved with the production. Link

I don’t say much here, but I just saw the matinee this afternoon. This was a deeply fulfilling theatrical experience. I was so moved by André De Shields. I was taken with Chris Sullivan in the NYTW recording, and I worried I would struggle with his very different interpretation. (I know those on this board know what it’s like to fall in love with an early cast recording.) De Shields was captivating from the moment he took the stage. I want to return and spend an entire show just watching his ...

Leslie performed last night with the Oregon Symphony in Portland. It was a beautiful show, highlighted for me by his a cappella "Forever Young" and his beautiful rendition of "Without You" from RENT which is in single release.It was a bit of a surprise when he was introduced and he and his five-piece band walked out on stage in decidedly casual clothes to join the full orchestra. Leslie was in a pair of faded jeans, boots and a black jacket. The promo photos for the event had featured him in ...

Do not concern yourself with the language. There are subtle supertitles. But honestly, a few minutes in you will forget about the Yiddish altogether. They communicate perfectly.

I saw the matinee this afternoon. It's best production of Fiddler I've ever seen.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/17/theater/review-yiddish-fiddler-on-the-roof.htmlhttps://www.thedailybeast.com/fiddler-on-the-roof-in-yiddish-is-a-moving-triumphI strongly recommend this play.

Saw this tonight. Very moving. Shanice Williams is really good. I like a lot about this production, but THE SINGING. So, so good.

Anyone see this tonight at Town Hall?http://thetownhall.org/event/broadway-rising-stars-2018

I've had my issues with Telecharge, but great customer service should be acknowledged.I purchased a full-price ticket to a play in anticipation of a trip to New York next week. Yesterday I suffered a significant injury that will require surgery. Trip to NYC canceled. I called customer service in hopes of getting a post-dated ticket. Instead, they offered a full refund, and kind wishes for a speedy recovery.I'm grateful.

How about the new space?

I saw THE ABSOLUTE BRIGHTNESS OF LEONARD PELKEY tonight at the Westside Theatre. It was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed THE WEIR last night at Irish Rep. I'm seeing KING LIZ, SCENES FROM AN EXECUTION, and JOHN this weekend. Other off-Broadway recommendations?

After seeing THE FLICK, I will entrust myself to Annie Baker and Sam Gold any time. I'll be there on 7/26, and I look forward to every minute.

It's back up on TDF for the next week.

Previews begin tonight. Anyone going? I'm curious to hear more about this.

Several reports that he has passed away. May he rest in peace.

Thank you Haterobics. I was able to purchase a ticket this afternoon, but now it is down again. Pinto: while prices may vary a bit, I believe I pay about $30 per year. Whatever the cost, it pays for itself with one purchase.
