I saw a video last night speculating the show will begin before “Phantom” closes, as to not disrupt ALW’s 40+ year streak of having a show playing on Broadway

HA it's almost like he's upstaging himself!

Yep. Feb 17th, to keep his streak running.

Guess Sweaty Armpits was wrong on this one.

I can see the punny "bad Cinderella" reviews already....

I truly cannot believe that’s the title they’re going with.

BroadwayRox3588 "Guess Sweaty Armpits was wrong on this one."
The amount of people as heard mocking and making fun of him this morning at the event was enough to almost make me feel bad for him.

He’s learning that if you present yourself as having the inside scoop, people will most remember when you’re wrong.

Please, more announcements like this. I need to save some money.

I saw Linedy Genao go on for Gloria Estefan once. She was fine. This is, of course, a big deal for her... but sheesh. This will be a mess.

Is the press release available for viewing anywhere?

SO is annoying as heck and takes far too much glee in the failure of theater, but the pile on to someone who frequently caveats their "scoops" as they've been wrong in the past is weird. And given they've been sharing some pretty persistent mental health struggles, I do genuinely feel bad for them. They clearly have a passion for theater, if a misguided way of expressing it.

I’m thrilled for her. I don’t know her work at all but as theater lovers, can we just take a moment and be happy for a relative unknown actress who’s going to be staring in (like it or not) an enormous new Broadway musical from one of the biggest theater creators the world has ever known. It’s what literally every musical theater actor dreams of happening so for today at least, let’s be happy for her.

The name is a warning.

She’s Dominican American and it makes my heart so full! 😭 ❤️

Spot-on, Jakey.
Linedy's incredible and I hope I can see her in this show.

I think it’s pretty interesting they also had Linedy record the song in Spanish. I don’t think that’s ever been done before, having the broadway lead record the music in multiple languages.

I have empathy for them, with regards to their mental health struggles. However, perhaps people wouldn't "pile on them" as much, if they didn't behave in such a toxic and unpleasant manner. One cannot pull the kind of stuff SO pulls, and expect to be loved and coddled by the theatre industry.

Per the NYT, the show is being re-designed for Broadway, though it doesn’t say if that’s the same design team as London or if they’ll work with new designers.

As I said in the other thread, that likely means no audience revolve.
