I mean, it's air conditioned and they get pay and another benefit week.

Beaches is finally beached. And be careful with exclamation points -- you don't want to be accused of celebrating people losing their jobs. 🙄

trying to think of a cheaper, shoddier example of a blatant licencing grab. someone with deep pockets put this rickety, ramshackle piece of dinner theatre on Broadway for the sole purpose of making money on tours and regionals. i'm sure the geriatrics in Topeka will love what of it they can stay awake for.

It's not! That makes you guys look like you're gleeful about it. It's the relentlessness with which you make jokes and mock the show. Ultimately, a lot of people put hard work into it. Criticism of Theatr can be a lot less toxic, and aIt's not! That makes you guys look like your gleeful about it. It's the relentlessness with which you make jokes and mock the show.

I’m never happy about people being out of a job, but I am happy that at least there’s one less painfully lazy and poorly written show occupying a theatre.
They took longer to toss the harpoon than I thought. I gotta admit they do have nerve. I surmised it would’ve died faster than Kelli Barrett’s character

I really hope Jessica Vosk is able to originate in a role and show worthy of her talents soon.

Yeah. It seems she’s falling into the “getting Shoshana Bean’s sloppy seconds” part of her career having succeeded her as Elphaba, Jersey, and now Cee Cee.
Many actors have had this happen - Nathan Lane was concerned he’d be typecast in Zero Mostel’s old roles after winning Tony’s for FORUM and THE PRODUCERS

This really will go down as an example of bafflingly inept producing. Just poor judgment all around.

And the writing team. They only included one song from the movie after they were forced to.

The very title had so much potential.

Tea. At one point during Act II when they were dragging out whatever mysterious lady disease she had, I had a devil on my shoulder trying to tempt me into yelling “JUST DIE ALREADY SO WE CAN GO”

Will they let her change out of her hospice drag for the final curtain call?
