Anyone starting to prefer bootlegs over cast recordings?
Mar 4 2026, 01:51:28 PM
Guilty. I prefer bootleg recordings (if quality is OK) mainly because i like hearing and feeling the audience response after a song.

I think I've seen that Hannah has been doing some readings/workshops for potential upcoming shows. If i were her, I'd hold onto this gig for as long as I possibly can. She's fantastic in it!

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 2/22/26
Feb 24 2026, 03:34:40 PM
Getting a little worried for Death Becomes Her given they still had 8 shows last week. I'm sure the snow day didn't help overall attendance. I wonder if they're locking in Jennifer Simard's replacement soon. I know no end date for her run has been announced yet, curious how long she's planning on staying with the show. Same for Michelle Williams.
Also so impressed with Lion King! After all this time and they're almost in the 2mill mark

I don't see it. This show doesn't really align with her "Family Friendly, drag is for everyone!" persona that she seems to lean into.

The thought of Jack Wolfe getting a Tony nom while Aaron Tveit didn't... makes me laugh for some reason.

Kad said: "Barrera and Beatriz both have some modest followings (Beatriz is also a voice actor for Hazbin Hotel, which has an extremely devoted cult following) but neither are going to be moving the needle much here.
I can't think of the last production that's had such... random casting. It feels like they're writing names on bingo balls and drawing them from a spinner."
Either drawing bingo balls, or making it further and further down the list

I think part of the issue is the fact that JCM is leaning into a different approach than his predecessors and emphasizing different bits. For those of us who are the repeat offenders in seeing this show, it’s possible we are used to particular moments being emphasized for comedic effect, and so when JCM goes over them, it do

New Sara Bareilles musical at Berkeley Rep in 2027; Michael Arden directing

Theater is not about opportunities. It’s about which director won the last Tony or major hit at the box office. People forget it’s a business. I hear you, but his name gets investors interested next to hers.&quo

Rumor is he's already blown passed the budget and investors are asking for more $.
(I feel I must note that this is a joke, given Arden's history)

I'm not a Matt Morrison fan (see comments above) but I think he could actually be pretty funny in Titanique as Cal.

“Cringe” is kind of Morrison’s whole brand these days."
Fair. The 9/11 interpretive dance gives me more of an ick.

That's a change. Martin Landry was originally covering the role for the week. Also makes me wonder if he'll rejoin the show when Jane comes in."
I can see him coming back for Hannah’s 2 weeks, but there will be a new Abe with Jane"
Anyone know who the knew Abe is with Jane?"
Details are being finalized. Announcement forthcoming in a few weeks. Nothing else I can discuss."
Anyone exciting, or is the casting pretty expected?

Apologies if this has been asked a billion times. I'm considering making the trip. The night I want to see it, there are partial view tickets available for Orchestra Left, Balcony Front Row, or Orchestra Right.
From what I've seen the last few posts, folks have said Orchestra Right are a good deal for the price, any other input before I inevitably bite the bullet (pun intended)

Dratch would be an incredible Louise.
And Kate McKinnon as Mary would absolutely get me to buy yet another ticket in a heartbeat."

This show really is kind of genius in that the stunt casting is really just giving whomever an opportunity to flex some muscles they don't typically get to. I imagine they can build up quite a catalog of Mary Todd Lincoln actors/actresses to rotate through endlessly.
All the supporting roles also could be very well cast with celebrities as well.
