I was one of the people chosen to participate last week, and we get to hang out backstage for a few minutes to properly meet and chat with Dan and get pictures and such. We then exit out of one of the stage doors right behind where the crowd gathers. I think it’s the same door the rest of the people sitting on stage exit, but they had us hanging back on the opposite side of the stage so I didn’t see for sure. I promi...

Chris Jones suggests that at least one of the audience participants is a plant:"But while it’s not entirely true to say he is the one and only actor in that show, given that I witnessed one of the 'audience' members leaving through the stage door, it is a magnificent solo performance nonetheless."Anyone know anything about this? How does it work in terms of Equity rules, Playbill credits, etc.? I haven't seen the show and am not looking to spoil the fun for anyone but am fascinated, though no...

Anderson was credited as "The Voice of the Narrator," top of the cast list in the playbill. He even got a bio.

I'dthink they might be willing to help you in some way if you explain the situation. Especially if you signed up for it shortly before the shutdown, and didn't actually get to use it."good idea, I'll try getting in touch once dates are set and tickets go onsale again... I do understand the term...

TheGingerBreadMan said: "“The Devil You Know” from Side Show?"definitely this.

It's pretty clear that the only reason Disney allowed this to go on was as a fundraiser. They most likely stipulated that everyone viewing it had to have donated, not wanting their IP to be adapted and reused completely willy-nilly; but the producers, wanting to keep it accessible, negotiated the minimum donation at $5.

blaxx said: "I really don't remember if TOS got away with not paying the orchestra minimum."It's not a matter of "got away with"--special situations have been built into the Local 802 collective bargaining agreement with the Broadway League since 1993. They most definitely were granted one, since the show transferred from off-Broadway with fewer musicians than the theater's minimum in the previous production, which is one of the qualifying factors. But the house minimum for the Lyceum is 3 mu...

The Tony Awards are truly nothing more than a big, fat advertisement for Broadway tourism. That's why the last words of the broadcast are often "go see a Broadway show!" It's also an incredibly costly production. Aside from the very real and non-negotiable issue of nominators and voters not having seen this season's productions, there is no point in investing all the money it takes into an awards show when there's nothing to advertise right now. It's pointless and a waste of money. You truly ...

She has always said she wants to play Sweeney Todd. I agree.

He's also (still) working on The Connector, almost 10 years since it was supposed to premiere

yes, the practice of hiring "walkers" who don't play but pick up a check was done away with once the special situations clause was put in place. there's a fascinating history to the Priscilla band, which includes the union approving the special situation but then reversing its opinion after the show opened, and going so far as to picket the production outside the Palace.

Jordan Levinson said: "PREACH IT! And while we're on the subject, bring back Best Music Director/Conductor as well."I love celebrating Music Directors and Conductors, I think they're definitely underappreciated. But I can't fathom how one votes for the "best." Without having been in rehearsals for a show, how would a voter know where one person in the music department's job ended and another's began, and what exactly the MD/Conductor contributed to the production? Thinking about some of the m...

Sutton Ross said: "It wasn't sarcasm at all. I doubt most of the principals will be interested and or have the time to do this show next year."Every single actor is unemployed right now. I think any of them will take whatever chance they get to have a Broadway salary again, even if that means extending beyond original contracts. Why would they not have the time? They literally have no other commitments. They have to start from scratch auditioning again, since everything has been put on hold. ...

Let's also remember the recent petition to make the Apollo a Broadway house--they didn't want it. Did the creator of this petition ask Nick's wife and family before making it? I assume not. We need to honor people in a way that's consistent with their and their families' wishes.

Thank you, Robbie. An intelligent, informed, and respectful reply is so rare around here but so appreciated.

Check out New Play Exchange. Thousands of manuscripts for a cheap yearly membership. It's the best thing to happen to new work development.

Toward the end of Something Rotten!'s run they closed the balcony. Knowing this, my group bought balcony tickets on TodayTix and were moved to the front mezzanine (a great view in that theater) at discount balcony prices.

If you're talking about post-covid, as the title of the thread states, what is there to worry about?
