If you're close to it, they have the in-person lottery at The Public everyday. I feel like that's the option most people don't know about/try.

ART member presale is happening right now. Single tickets go on sale on Friday at noon. 

Jakeevan942 said: "The 6-week in-theater appeal Easter Bonnet fundraising season is still happening.

All that is not happening is the 2-day Easter Bonnet Competition variety show at the end of the fundraising cycle."

Last year, instead of the Easter Bonnet, they did Hats Off to You, which was a smaller variety show of sorts that was for certain levels of donors (a meal took place after the show). It took place at the Hard Rock Cafe and was hosted by the late Gavin Creel. I'm assuming they're do the same this year. 

A nice interview with Jenna from Vulture about her experience in getting cast as Nessa and being the first wheelchair user Nessa on stage:

As someone who was into the earlier SeraMyu productions (around Miyuki and Marina stages but went back & watched Anza and Fumina's stages on VHS... LOL...), I am intrigued by this. I might catch it when it's in the NYC area.

ATC posted on their socials a few hours ago. Interesting on how they phrased it, that what happens with them affects other institutions.

I heard that Cabaret is taking a bit longer on autographing things as Auliʻi is out for Moana 2. 

Last I saw, Gatsby had posters for $200 and Playbills for $75.

For this week, a majority of Bway shows switched their regular Tuesday evening performance to Monday so that they would be dark on Election Day. Some even move their usual Wednesday matinee to Sunday evening.

Just sharing in case anyone was looking for the show schedules this week.

Have they announced any rush or lottery yet for Swept Away?

West End theatres that Gavin performed at will dim their lights.

"West End theatres to dim lights for Gavin Creel" by The Stage's Matthew Hemley - "The Society of London Theatre has confirmed to The Stage that the Adelphi, where Creel performed in Waitress, as well as the Prince of Wales, where he starred in The Book of Mormon, the Prince Edward - where he appeared in Mary Poppins - and the Gielgud, where he was part of Hair, will all dim their lights in his honour."
 

Dylan Smith4 said: "It is still disrespectful for them to "partially" dim the lights. When we lose a valued member of this community, we dim ALL the lights! I really hope the West End does the same thing, as he was very loved here, too!"

According to this latest Whatsonstage article:

There are currently no plans to dim the West End lights for Creel. However, Marisha Wallace and the Actor’s Church will host a candlelight vigil to commemorate award-winning stage star. The vigil will take place on Sunday 6 October at the Actor’s Church at 6.30pm, lasting an hour.

Wallace said in a statement: “London was Gavin’s second home and he did four shows in the West End. The Book of Mormon, Hair, Waitress and Mary Poppins. We will get together and share our beautiful memories of our friend. Fellow castmates, crew, friends and fans please come.”

Kad said: "Theaters will be dimming lights in honor of Creel on a date/time tbd... but not all theaters will be dimmed, which feels.. a little insulting?

"To honor his memory, the Committee of Theatre Owners will dim the lights of one theater from every Theater Owner on Broadway, including the Circle in the Square, Helen Hayes, Marquis, New Amsterdam, Samuel J. Friedman, Shubert, Stephen Sondheim, St. James, Studio 54, Todd Haimes, and Vivian Beaumont theatres at a date and time to be coordinated with the family at their request""

If there were going to pick and choose, they could have just gone with just those on 44th/45th Street or include more theaters he performed in like Hirschfeld, Horne, O'Neill.

"

No, there's an actual pool of water in the Bway & West End production. I'm also assuming it's not in the touring production.

Fall Buckets started October 20 last year so it might be around the same this year. However, it runs for six weeks so the first couple of weeks, not everyone is participating yet or has anything to offer. 

BorisTomashevsky said: "Scrimping on covers by hiring the bare minimum? A costly mistake."



On social and on the website, they seemed to have removed "cast" before "illness" so it might be more backstage and crew members than cast.

Last night (8/8) was Antwayn's final performance as Macavity. According to his Instagram Stories, he got another gig out of state. I'm assuming it's a film or TV gig. Happy trails to him!
