There’d be 7 concurrently running lavish productions of Follies, all claiming to be the definitive, and thecompany would be bankrupt in 3 months."

 

All of these expenses will be offset by profits from the dueling de-revised C

I enjoy it a lot. Yes, when I listen to these heavily produced types of podcasts I often think they feel a bit stilted and just wish they'd turn the microphone on the most interesting subjects and let them go, but the upshot is stuff like the Follies screenplay excerpt or a fully performed song. I think it's been respectfully done and feels honest but not prurient. Some of it is painful. A lot of stories that were new to me. All of it rings true to the favorite artists in my life

Often times in the post-Covid era, I can get a better last-minute deal at the box office than at TKTS because the lowest-priced seats (far less than the half-off price of the most inflated ones) don't always go to TKTS. I'll tend to look at the price on the TKTS board, then head over to the theater and ask if they have anything for that day's show, if they have rush seats and if not what the most affordable is. Either way, always able to save compared to buying online (includ

In all, so glad I got to be there. I would like to see this reach full production, but it's going to have to be outstanding. It's going to have to really surprise and excite us with its theatricality, how it handles the layers of fiction and imagination, and really move. Sher *MAY* be able to do it with great collaborators (and keeping away from that godforesaken Beaumont video wall which was used about as tactfully as possible last night, but still ultimately felt a bit tacky).

I really, really loved the last two Jerry Herman Encores! and given the current Broadway landscape I can't find a reason to complain about seeing this show again, so count me as excited and hopeful. Okay, so Billy has not been the most consistent actor in recent years, but he's due for a comeback and given how well Douglas Hodge and Harvey Fierstein managed to do in the role with *their* singing voices, I'm not that concerned with his vocal shape either. It's a

Yes, I agree with darquegk's distinction and got carried away responding the the mental gymnastics that a production isn't a failure because maybe it could have run longer if the producers continued to keep it open for a while by continuing to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a week even though they'd already done so for months. 

We all have flops we love, it's BroadwayWorld! Most of us have favorite bombs as well! Doesn't change how the production we

THE KING AND I is a classic. SWEENEY TODD is a classic. IF/THEN is a tepidly received show that an extremely niche group might appreciate or associate pleasant memories with, but is virtually unthought of outside of its association with the star it was written for and has never materialized a real life since, especially compared to just about any show with a similar run I can think of. I'm always surprised to remember it exists.
