If they were real, Thomas Kail (and SONDHEIM) would be part of the key art billing. The childish "official" responses on social media are also dead giveaways -- no one at the ad agency is responding to twitter posts at 5:00pm on Labor Day!"Interesting thought! Although for what it's worth the Ticketmaster pag...

Way too much dancing for Hill. He's supposed to be a conniver, not Ray Bolger.3. Way too much dancing, period. Sure we're supposed to suspend disbelief, but these kids must spend their whole day practicing plies and pas de chats.4. And the dances go on FOREVER!!! Sometimes less is WAY more. And some of them are downri...

Here's the show curtain that an audience member posted to Twitter:

During the 2014 production of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess, when Bess eventually sniffs the "happy dust" from Sportin' Life after resisting the entire show.

Is anyone going to the first preview tonight? Hoping for a report from the future!

For the past few weeks, whenever I try to access the BWW chat boards on my iPad or iPhone after a few seconds I am redirected to a spam site (currently goodluckday.site).

Just wondering if anyone had thoughts on the announcement that the Back to the Future Musical is slated for a UK premiere next spring? http://www.playbill.com/article/back-to-the-future-musical-sets-2020-world-premiereWhile I tend to roll my eyes whenever I see another screen to stage transplant, I have always thought BTTF would make an excellent musical. Besides already having great songs from the film, the combination of the musical styles from the 1980s and 1950s is very intriguing. Also, ...

If that is the case, how would the ...
