I know this has been talked to death but… is there a backlog of theaters right now? This show could be around for awhile just because it’s doing well enough and the market is bleak.

Anyone else getting a prompt every time they open the app regarding enabling notifications? Are we required to allow the BroadwayWorld app to send us notifications, lest we pay that toll?

I stopped drinking booze and saved SO much money - I bring a bottle of water to the theatre (maybe even a granola bar, if I’m feeling VERY rebellious). I’m more likely to spend my money at a theatre if they’re creative with their snacks: peanuts, Kit Kats, and M&Ms are ill-inspired offerings.

Oh goodie. Art always benefits so much from being operated by big business.

Tragic news. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. ❤️

Any updates on discount tickets for this? Would love to catch the 5p on Thursday 6/25 but the tickets are still kind of steep for what they could probably be getting.

Juliette Lewis’s casting in this show is a bit confusing to me. She doesn’t have a name that will bring many people in the door, and I felt bad that she mostly looked lost and uncomfortable the entire time she was on stage.

What about Christiani Pitts as Deena? I’ve LOVED her in both King Kong and Two Strangers.

I feel like a lot of community theatre audiences will be brought in by the title and local accessibility, but a good amount of people are likely going to have never seen the source material. I didn’t watch the original series and thought the show was completely enjoyable, just not quite right for Broadway. On the other hand, I watched Nicole Scherzinger hump the stage and have roses and awards thrown at her feet over it so I must be out of my mind lol.

Was the idea behind Celebrity Autobiography to go after the All Out/All In crowd? My first time hearing about it was when I saw the marquee going up at the Shubert a week before opening - shocked to see those numbers and wonder what people were (or weren’t) thinking.

Um… is all of that black in the center section the smoke damage? Maybe it came down to closing the show or keeping it open, but I’m surprised they re-opened the theatre still looking so visibly damaged.

Singling out Joe Turner and MJ is a very weird choice when none of these have even remotely the worst audiences."Sounds like YOU have never had an experience at either of these shows. Stop trying to turn this into something.

Haven’t noticed ball caps, but haven’t been looking. Like many here, I don’t care what anyone wears to the theatre enough to really notice. Don’t block the view of others (with hair, hat, etc.), keep your phone dark and quiet, and be quiet/respectfully engage when appropriate. Enjoy yourself, and be mindful how you impact others. I had to break my anxiety over using my phone in the theatre when adjusting my father-in-law’s hearing aids recently mid-act. The gentleman next to me later pulled h...

Going into this knowing it was supposedly bad made me not hate this, I think. The show itself is bad and the cast did everything they could with the material, but it was a treat for my ADHD-riddled mind the way the book jumped back and forth. I’m still trying to figure out how everyone at the airline counter knew her song, though. She didn’t seem very famous at that point in the plot.

A lot of great performances in this production, with my surprise around how much Evans and Grey would knock it out of the park. Durand and Hsu were absolutely excellent, as well. I adore Michaela Jae, and loved some of the unnerving physicalities and movements she brought to the role, but can understand where people didn’t care for some of the vocal nuances. I would have preferred to see her as Magenta/Usherette, honestly, and bring some great energy to that role!I commend Juliette Lewis for ...

Just got out of the show after having seen it twice downtown and really enjoyed myself. It still holds up just as well as it did then, although the crowd on a Tuesday was surprisingly lively, but felt reserved. The lack of intimacy at a venue like the Broadhurst was always bound to be a challenge, though. Judges tonight were Eva and Reeve. There were a few Hadestown Easter eggs in the dialogue throughout the show that had those in on it chuckling along.I’d also like to give them both a lot of...

Stephanie J. Block created Elphaba and didn’t receive nominations for her work in the creative process. Sherie Rene Scott was the original Diana in Next to Normal (Feeling Electric). Is it safe to say that she had no creative input in the refinement of the character or tweaking of the book? If she did, should she have also been nominated for the creative categories? Not sure where one would draw the line with honoring actors in previous productions and workshops.

I don’t know what to make of this - I actually quite liked it, but I wasn’t sure if I was watching the same show as the rest of the audience was. I thought this was a rather darkly humorous piece with plenty of absurdity to laugh at. The audience seemed very somber, and I attribute that to Sunday night as well as a missed/botched opportunity on the director’s part who perhaps set the tone a bit too dark from Creighton’s introduction. If it’s a dark comedy, I thought it was actually quite wond...

I saw this play last night - my first time experiencing Desth of a Salesman at all. WOWZA! The piece seems to certainly hold up (although it’s not my favorite play), but the production and this cast were truly exceptional all around. Laurie Metcalfe: what a privilege to get an opportunity to see her live for my first time. I hope everyone gets a chance to watch her perform live someday. Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content

I don’t get why touring productions setup shop for six weeks in NYC (and extend, oftentimes) but somehow the idea that a touring set could be stored somewhere could be pulled out and put at the Majestic once Beaches closes is out of the question. Wigs and costuming will need to be redone, possibly, but what else prevents an established show like this from getting back on its feet within a few months? Kinda seems like if there’s a will, there will be a way.
