Has Anyone Caught the HEATED RIVALRY Parody Musical?

Caught it tonight and it was FABULOUS. It captured everything that makes the series such a phenomenon, while adding some laugh-crying-emoji level humor.  It feels written by someone who so clearly adores this show and is paying it homage, leaving us to laugh with (not at) the characters and situations. All the choices made to cut 40 characters, 30 locations, and 12 years down to 75 tight minutes were incredibly smart - we are left with something joyous as evidenced by the entire audience


Aida Revival?

Ali Bourzgui as Radames, Jasmine Amy Rogers as Amneris and TAKE MY MONEY


Show Boat Centennial

I heartily second that -re: Lonette McKee; her voice and performance were UNREAL and I'm sorry we didn't see her do more on Broadway stages. What a talent.


Meryl Streep considering return to Broadway with Martin Short

Can I really be the first person to say Death of a Salesman? It's about time we saw a revival!


"Leave no single seat" policy when booking

I have at times been able to work around this as follows:

1. Open a separate browser and HOLD the 2 seats next to the single seat.

2. Go back to your regularly scheduled browser window and buy the single seat.

Hope this helps someone :)


The Public Theater - Ethan Lipton’s “The Seat of Our Pants”

Yes! Ethan & the cast posted last week on Instagram from the recording session. SO EXCITED.


GYPSY Previews

I loved Orch Center L for this production. The rise of the audience seats is steep enough that it felt like they were playing directly to us. Some of the best seats I've ever had.


GYPSY Previews

Saw her in Carousel ( back when she was Audra Ann McDonald) as well as in Ragtime, and she was absolutely as wonderful in person. I, for one, have no idea what your friend meant.


Simon Rich's “All In: Comedy About Love” will star John Mulaney, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Richard Kind, and Fred Armisen. Directed by Alex Timbers at the Hudson Theater.

Simon Rich's “All In: Comedy About Love” will star John Mulaney, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Richard Kind, and Fred Armisen. Directed by Alex Timbers at the Hudson Theater.

"Fan Presale" - of what? John Mulroney? How do I sign up for this?

(I loved Simon Rich's stories and thought many of them would make great musicals so this is wonderful to me)


Telecharge interactive seating map issues?

Is anyone else having a problem with the interactive seating map? The rest of the site seems to load properly but the map is unreadable (MacBook, safari browser). Any tips? Thank you!


UNCLE VANYA Previews

It was updated in all ways - there was a record player used onstage, the language included "booze" and "bucks" (instead of money/cash). 


Michael R. Jackson & Anna K. Jacobs' TEETH Musical at Playwrights Horizons (Winter 2024)

The audition notice seemed to indicate that this could extend to max 4/28, so my guess we get 2 more weeks after reviews come out (3/19 now).


New Musical, DEAD OUTLAW, from Penna/Yazbek/Moses

NYT Critic's Pick!

SMASH Reading Lottery

How do we enter? TIA!


The best structured musicals

One of the things that astounds me about the structure of Guys & Dolls is the genius of the following: because of the bet between Sky & Nathan, every single action by any of the 4 main characters (and every scene) moves the action forward for everyone, even those not involved in the particular scene.  This seems like such a subtle but huge development from the "A couple/B couple" structure of so many musicals at the time.


Job @ Soho Playhouse - 2 tix avail 10/15 mat

Unfortunately I have a conflict; I snapped them up before checking.

Selling at face value ($131/pair) - 2 tix Sun 10/15 @2pm. (Tickets are at will call)


Santino Fontana and Judy Kuhn in I can get it for you wholesale

Didn't he have COVID?


Actors Fund RAGTIME Concert Aiming For Early 2023

I don't know about release, but I sat next to one of the 3-4 videographers -- they absolutely filmed the entire thing.


R.I.P. Paul Sorvino (1939-2022)

What a talented man. His performance in The Baker's Wife, particularly "If I Have to Live Alone", gives me chills every time.
