I have many thoughts about Slam Frank, and believe it falls way more in the category of trolling that parody/satire/etc, and I do not find it artful to simply shock. But others feel differently. That said, The entire existence of Paddington is completely based on the kindertransport: "Paddington Bear's iconic arrival is rooted in the tragic history of the Kindertransport. Creator Michael Bond modeled Paddington’s situation on the thousands of mostly Jewish refugee children who fled Nazi-contr...

PATTI SANG "I DREAMED A DREAM" TONIGHT. I may have left my body.

In this case, that's not true at all. The biggest reason is that the landlords ARE the producers and shape where the show's capital goes. Beyond that, they are also the people who determine all the rules governing Broadway (The Theatre Wing and the Broadway League) - it's all the same people. It runs so much deeper and worse than that but they are always negotiating with themselves. The people who get hurt are basically: everyone else.

THANK YOU FOOR CREATING THIS TOPIC.We are all here because we love theatre (Broadway) so much that we talk about it on our off-time. A lot. Yet it is quite obvious the model is VERY broken I think about this constantly and thus far, the best, most thorough analysis of it is being done on Substack by Jared Harbour. Here is his most recent post, discussing how monopolistic (?) the industry is: Inbreeding Depressionopen.substack.comIt's worth re

I had to look her up- she's the wife of Stephen Schwartzman, CEO of Blackstone. That's broadway - where even the wife of a billionaire has someone take a chance on her! We can all dream.

Also: Anna W covering her face so she wouldn't be seen on national TV? On brand.

SO GOOD. But I think Baby wasn't on as Victoria? Hope she's ok, love her.

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's hug...

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

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.

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

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 :)

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

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.

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.

There are 2 Thursday matinees - 12/26 and 1/2

"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)

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!

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

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).
