If you go to Telecharge and searched for it, it was there and I was very easily able to purchase seats. Not sure if this is a loop hole or what, but hey, it's there!

Thank you!! Got em. Not exactly *cheap* but did not expect to easily get into this for basically the cost of a Broadway show.

Can Americans "Do" Noel Coward?
Apr 16 2026, 09:23:26 PM
I'm not gonna weigh in on Coward (and haven't seen the production) but the old saw that Americans usually can't play Brits but Brits can definitely play Americans is so silly. The American accents I heard studying in London...Good lord, never knew so many emotionally explosive Americans came from New Jersey by way of Dallas where they presumably learned elocution from a Brit raised in Minnesota.

"La Cage" at City Center
Apr 16 2026, 12:27:54 AM
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

Broadway Fire Sale?
Apr 13 2026, 09:21:49 AM
When the inventory is this lousy, everything must go.
That and tourism is hurting in this economy. The city is just less crowded generally than it usually is this time of year, IMO.

I thought she was really good as Gypsy and was a great Audrey.

Paddington at the Al Hirschfeld
Apr 8 2026, 11:18:34 AM
The show's staggering costs are an uphill battle but the first two Paddington films have become massive for families in the years since their release, and are nearly as big in basic culturista circles as a badge of appreciating things that are good in a "pure" unpretentious way. I think the name recognition is a hell of a lot higher than most IP musicals of the post-Covid era.

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.

The Death of the Understudy Slip

Islander_fan said: "Jonathan Cohen said: "Getting rid of understudy slips really drives me nuts, not because I'm against it in a vacuum but The Broadway League is being really selective in what they consider wasteful. At least those slips are giving me information I'll look at. The full color inserts I often get in Playbills reminding me to turn off my phone I'm sure aremore expensive to make and are pretty redundant, as ushers are paid to make the same point.

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES Original Broadway Cast Recording Thread
Apr 1 2026, 09:22:20 PM
I would guess the intention is kind of future-proofing the album cover with an eye towards this being a show of interest in licensed productions separated from Kristen Chenoweth's presence?
Good luck...I saw it with Sherie who was brilliant and it was still absolutely painful, tone-deaf, simplistic, idiotic, naive, irresponsible, smug...

Songs about men sung by women? Rop
Apr 1 2026, 10:26:08 AM
I'm trying to think of some that don't revolve in some way around romance or heartbreak, and it's kind of unfortunate that there are so few.
But one really lovely song that does not fit that bill that just occured to me is "What Makes Me Love Him?" from THE APPLE TREE.
Edit: lol forgot the thread explicitly asked for breakup/processing songs lol.
HIGH FIDELITY may actually have some stuff. "She Goes," "Too
