It also felt in years past that corporations were more trying to make money off the queer community with rainbow capitalism (using the parade as a big ad) rather than actually caring about and supporting the community. I think the corporatization of pride is one of the worst things about it and the dialing back this year can help us sort out the real allys from the virtue signaling ones.

This happened during the scenic change out of "Don't Say I Didn't (Warn You)" when the mansion visibly lowers into place. A small piece of white plastering was broken and fell to the stage deck.There was a ten-minute hold and they continued the show as normal afterward, visible rips and all.Let's go previews!!"I love that simard ad libbed "You two really need to fix your drapes" aft...

Does anyone know about how Maleah Joi Moon's attendance has been? I saw the show and she was out last week and honestly I'm very mad because I heard she was the best thing about the show. Planning to go again next week but scared she's gonna be out again.

Pineapple Room does not start until after previews. I do not really think it's worth it either. They try to get you to come 60 minutes early for the pre show but I think I would have gotten just as much out of it coming 30 minutes early. The 60 minutes is mostly so they can sell you more drinks it feels like. If you were already planning on buying a bunch of food and drinks it may be worth it.

There were so many A listers sitting near me at the show last night I felt like I was at the oscars. Also, sitting in the orch was probably the most comfortable broadway sitting experience of my life. TONS of leg room, the seats do not feel like they are right on top of each other side to side. I felt like I was sitting on my couch watching the show. I am generally an Eddie Redmayne skeptic and have not loved him in most movies I've seen him in but I shockingly loved him in this. Even though ...

The shows are not selling out you'd think that they'd want a way to move these empty seats"Depends upon the producers not the venue."I think the shed is one of the lead producers of the show, also wouldn't the producers want to move the tickets either way?

Matt Rogers said: "inception said: "Matt Rogers said: "That’s fine. Your opinion is as valid as mine. PS - they are now charging as high as $191 per ticket for this 80 minute thing. Have fun, all."Not unheard of. What's the top ticket price for Six? I know I paid too much to sit in the mezz for that. And it's also probably moreof a gimmicky thing."Six is aBroadway musical.This is a smalloff Broadway showplaying at a theatre with legendarily horrible seating. Speaking of legends, the new Charl...

Still over 1/3 of the audience left and not even popping up on TDF?"Prior to the run they're staff told us, by email, there would be an online rush on TodayTix. It's unfortunate The Shed h...

Jarethan said: "I have really liked her on everything I have seen her in since she replaced Amanda Plummer in Agnes of God. She was excellent in Me and My Girl —she brought heart to the show and held her own against Robert Lindsey’s great performance which IMO was deserved, despite competing against Cole Wilkinson—but she did not deserve to win a Tony for lead actress in a musical. Ironically, she probably would not have won in featured because she would have been competing against Frances Ru...

Constantly giving amazing performances yet not a household name. She's a Tony winner for pete's sake."I don't disagree with you re her talent, but she won the Tony in a year that had very few female leads. I would argue that her performance should have been in the featured category, but they had to come up with some lead nominees; she won because, even i...

JRB has not been a huge success on broadway. Probably the best financial move for him would be to have a hit off broadway run. Make a cast recording and then make money licensing it out.

We can confirm this is better than the god awful "The Portuguese Kid" a similar MTC city center basement John Patrick Shanley comedy? Not even the amazing Mary Testa could have saved that show. It made me worried he lost his touch.

Maryann Plunkett hive rise up. Seriously she must be one of the best/most underrated actors in the theatre. Constantly giving amazing performances yet not a household name. She's a Tony winner for pete's sake.

This is a huge loss to be honest. I've seen many great things for next to nothing with this program.

Has anyone had any luck with the today tix rush? I found it completely impossible after trying for weeks. Eventually gave up and had a student friend get us the student rush tickets so I was able to see the show.

I mean I can't imagine that the songs will sound as good with Nolan Almedia's voice singing them as opposed to someone with the correct vocal range the part was written for. I may try to go out of morbid curiosity. Listen to Mary Martin singing "Neverland" and try to imagine a Tenor singing it.

OhHiii said: "I’d wager it’s the Music Box. Beautiful Noise is shaping up to have a really strong Fall if last week’s grosses are any indication and there’s zero chance they’ll announce closing posting $1mil a week at the Broadhurst. I don’t think Shucked is on death watch yet, so that sort of rules out the Nederlander (which I wouldn’t consider *prime* anyway)."I don't understand how it would be decided that Suffs was going into the Music Box when Purlie is only one week into previews.
