& Juliet was one of my favorite new shows to come around in a while, and In Dreams sadly is not.I appreciate the creative team trying something a little different. Hearing the classic songs of Roy Orbison (& the Traveling Wilbury's) is definitely the highlight and reason to see the show. I have to give props to the cast, they seem to be enjoying themselves and giving their full effort. And of course Lena singing is always going to be a treat.The show does have everything--humor, dramatic arc,...

Firstly, nothing is mandatory. Click Here To Toggle Spoiler ContentRight off the bat the cast talk about personal failure stories and then they ask if anyone in the audience wanted to share one of their own. One person did and then the play moved on.There is also a simple survey. Who loves their father, hands up. Who hates their father, hands up. etcLater on, the audience is asked to write down a question on paper/pencil provided that had gone unasked/unanswered of their father (whether alive...

Just came from opening night here in Toronto and this show was a delight from start to finish! The crowd loved it, and the cast was energetic and in great voice. It was not only fun, but moved at a great pace, always keeping the momentum going. If it reminded me of any show it would be Mamma Mia. They respected these popular songs and their melodies while still fitting them into this new story.After such a long lock down here it's the perfect reminder of how fun live theatre can be if we let ...

I very recently saw Trading Places in Atlanta, and they sent a post-show questionaire that specifically asks for feedback on the show that would go directly to the producers. IIRC there were some specific questions, but there was definitely a blank space to provide any comments or suggestions you wanted to write.I was impressed that they did this. Hopefully they will garner some useful feedback from a variety of audience members.

I live in Toronto and have flown to and from USA several times. Never been selected for random test at airport. There are lots of places all around city for the required rapid test to fly back. Numerous drug stores offer it both with or without an appointment. (and also at the airport itself)

I was able to see this in London from fairly close up. I've long admired Laura Linney on stage and screen, and she didn't disappoint. As a one person show, she portrayed the characters wonderfully and it was always clear which person she was. The play was fine but not overly engaging or impactful for me. While watching Laura certainly held my interest for the duration, several times I perhaps was waiting for more dramatic arc, or catharsis or revelation. Perhaps it would have worked better as...

A friend recently explained all the similarities between the basic premise of The King and I and The Sound of Music which surprised me. (Free spirited single woman meets authoritarian attached man, immediately at odds, helps raise the children, but eventually find love)I noticed that despite the huge difference in tone and execution, both Come From Away was strikingly similar in premise to The Band's Visit.Group of travelling foreigners get unexpectedly stranded.

Can anyone confirm if they were able to recreate the amazing physical staging they had on Broadway for the tour?

Can't speak for the Tony awards, but i worked at the accounting firm that tabulated and kept the results of another televised awards show. There were definitely questions between the producers and the partner of the firm, such as, 'We were thinking of having performer X appear during this part of the broadcast, would that be a good idea?" The partner would answer. It may be a technicality, but never was the winner of a particular award the question nor the answer.

Question--Now that it is explained why understudies may not be ready during previews, can someone with knowledge please explain just out of curiosity. What are understudies typically doing during previews? Are they paid? Are they watching the performances so that they can be ready for when the show officially opens? Or are they not present, since there is no time for them to be rehearsed? Or does each show and/or actor have a different protocol? Thanks in advance for any insight.

telecharge is advising that Michael Lee Brown is performing the role for evening (i.e. October 31st) and Sunday shows including the November weekend that was supposed to be the last weekend for Ben Platt. (not just the matinees we already knew he was covering)Is this some kind of mistake? (the general information about who is performing the role and when remains unchanged, but when you go to actually buy tickets, this is when the notification comes up.)Anyone know what is going on? glitch at ...

Evil Dead the musical is violent and gory and sometimes scary, though not really in a serious way, IMO. Horror with humor you might say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Dead_(musical)

Looks like Ben is on a week of doctor recommended vocal rest! Hope he gets better soon.

Hello, I have 2 tickets for Tues. Aug. 15, Orchestra Row O, Seats 26-28 in NYC.Really hoping to trade for 2 tickets to any show in NYC during the dates Oct. 14 - Oct. 30.Please let me know. Thanks. :)

Does anyone know how the Tony nominating committee deals with diversity of acting nominees? This year, unlike last, one could easily have a scenario where all 20 of the musical acting nominees be Caucasian. Do they try to address diversity before the vote and hope for the best? Or are they able to adjust/re-vote if need be after the initial results, simply to avoid a backlash situation similar to the Academy awards in recent years. If you consider acting in a play nominees also, surely there ...

So, would it be correct to assume then that Broadway shows in general do NOT have a doctor or medical personnel on premises? Just wondering if there are exceptions, i.e. Cirque show with acrobatics or Spiderman. Any information/insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

LBXHN:) Thanks to anyone who uses the code for a discount!
