Yikes! Hopefully he'll be bare-chested underneath the cape and scarf.

Re: JUST IN TIME 5.0 - Nicholas Christopher
...and Jasmine Amy Rogers is playing Maria von Trapp... and then there's The Fantasticks... and so on. At least they're not Reality show "stars." Welcome to the '26-'27 Broadway season.
Re: Re: Damn Yankees Revival 2027
Ugh! The power of "Dancing With The Stars." While I like Hough well enough as a ballroom dancer, there is nothing quirky or lovable about her. Sad to think Broadway needs to pull more and more from social media and reality show personalities to hopefully get butts in the seats.
Re: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY Reviews
(responding to Fight The Dragons)I was there tonight as well, and I certainly wasn't having what you were having. What a disappointment.Aside from a couple (and I mean a couple) of jump scares, this slog of a money grab dragged on for what seemed like three hours. And yet it was only 1 hour and 45 minutes—chock-full of inane dialogue and an interminable couple. So. Much. Talking.The only positive? It was on TKTS.
Re: Sweet Charity with Ariana DeBose being workshopped
She's clearly an accomplished dancer, but acting range and emotional vulnerability aren't the first things that come to mind when I think of DeBose--especially for Charity Hope Valentine.
SCHMIGADOON! Reviews
EDSOSLO858 said: "Ana Gasteyer will leave the musicalon September 6."Can you blame her? This isn't the big hit they thought it was going to be. Respectable grosses, but not earth shattering.

Well, that casting is certainly a choice.

Is it too late to nominate the opening number for Best Musical this season?
My Tony pick for Best Musical may blow up. And I'm weirdly OK with it
I think we're lucky to have both Ragtime and CATS:The Jellicle Ball on Broadway. Wins aside, they were my favorite musicals in this lackluster season. I'd be happy to see them share the wealth.

While I was more impressed by several of the other performances than you were, I got nothing from Levy until she got to deliver vocal pyrotechnics in her big number, and by then it was too little too late. Otherwise, it felt likeJoshua Henry owning the stage, Brandon Uranowitz doing impressive work, several otheractors (some with smaller or multiple p...
Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/3/26
Philip Boroff at Broadway Journal reports that Schmigadoon! was capitalized for as much as $15 million, according to an SEC filing. I’m a bit surprised it’s that low. Sales over the next few weeks don’t look especially strong, but they’re not disastrous either. In today’s Broadway market, where costs are higher and recoupment is less certain even for successful shows, that puts it in a fairly modest range. If it connects with audiences, it still has a path to recoupment and possible...
THE LOST BOYS Reviews
Now that I’ve seen all the new musicals, my recommendation for out-of-town casual theatergoers would be Titanique, if you want a rollicking good time (and are familiar with the movie), or The Lost Boys (which I wasn’t crazy about), if you’re looking for a big, flashy musical about vampires. Schmigadoon! will likely be lost on many audiences since its humor depends heavily on affection and knowledge of classic film-musical tropes. And while I loved Two Strangers, it is just too small a show fo...

The audience seemed to love it, although even the creators cameout before curtain to thank the hundreds of die hard fans in the audience who made the show possible in the first place so take their reaction with a grain salt.i watched a few episodes of the tv series and thought they joke played itself out very quickly and didn’t think episodic form was right for it, but I did think a full film or a two act stage m...
THE LOST BOYS Previews
trentsketch said: "Did anyone go last night? I'm hearing they really beefed up the final fight sequence.*Possible Spoilers*It seems like the same fight sequence I saw on Wednesday. There’s only so much thrill you can get from two actors hanging from wires and swinging toward each other. For a moment that should showcase technical wizardry, it just didn’t land. Honestly, I was more intrigued by how easily they unclipped their harnesses when the lights dimmed throughout the show. As the show st...
THE LOST BOYS Previews
Ouch! A slow burn that never ignites. Aside from the clever design—which has more life than the eerily lifeless scenes—the show offers little in the way of thrills. There’s nothing especially terrifying here, and the flying and special effects fall short of spectacular.The talented Shoshana Bean shines in her “musical within a musical,” and Paul Nolan earns credit for diving headfirst into the delirium. Vocally, L.J. Benet impresses, and Ali Louis Bourzgui emerges as the show’s only menacing ...
Gotta Dance! - American Dance Machine
ACL2006 said: "Does the program list anyone as swings?"According to their Playbill, there are 17 cast members, all listed as “Company.” At the York, there were 14. I was particularly impressed with RJ Higton (The Outsiders), who seems to have taken some of Jess LeProtto’s track. He’s especially winning in “All I Need Is the Girl.”Though covers and understudies are listed under each number, it looks like they’re also used here and there throughout the show, especially in the larger group numbe...

Off-Broadway experiences -2025/2026
Just curious why more people haven't posted about BEAU The Musical here? I know it's been running for a bit and closes in two weeks. I've read a lot of positives on social media, other review outlets and Show Score. I'm considering going to see it, but wonder what others here have to say about it. Thanks.

Gotta Dance at The York Theatre
Fourteen dancers make up the cast of Gotta Dance, a revue celebrating Broadway and film choreography, from the legendary to the lesser-known. They sing, they dance, and they fill the intimate Theatre at St. Jean’s with nonstop movement.This production marks the latest incarnation of American Dance Machine for the 21st Century, which had its premiere season in 2014. What’s different now is how fully “produced” it feels, with The York Theatre also presenting in association with producer Riki Ka...
