I'm a bit confused on how their subscription works.I only see a handful of shows listed in the subscription. Will I unlock the ability to buy tickets to this if I get a season subscription?

100% will be flying across country to see SJB in Sunset. Favorite actress in one of my favorite shows? Take all my money.

They list these as Semi-staged.  For context, here are some Kennedy Center clips from past "Semi-Staged" shows from this series

They are more than a concert, but are not fully staged.  The actors do sometimes have scripts with them (usually disguised) since rehearsal time is fairly limited.

We had a partial subscription to the Kennedy Center a few years ago where we got to pick and choose the shows we wanted to see from the whole series.  They may have that as an option down the line after they get the initial push from these full subscriptions.  Tickets to single events go on sale to members before they open them to the public as well.

Any word on who will be cast in Guys and Dolls?

I've always wanted Anne Hathaway to play Sarah Brown.

Stephanie just posted a STUNNING video (mostly the theatre) of her singing As I We Never Said Goodbye - from an upcoming concert she is doing.  She sounds amazing!

Sure is nice to hear a real singer do that song after seeing Glenn Close (whose acting was superb but...ya know).

She sounds great. I’ll be honest though, it’s always such a letdown (for me) when whoever is playing Norma doesn’t hold the note on the word “home”. But I can’t wait to see her in this. Anyone know when tickets go on sale?

I'm dying to know who will play Aurora in KISS!

I hope we don't get a lot of forced affectations/flourishes in Norma's big numbers, something some who have played the role have seem compelled to add.  Just sing the song and let the lyrics and music work their magic. It's a fine line between the natural melodrama of the character and over-the-top caricature.

I still can't figure out how to get this Broadway Center Stage subscription. I'd be interested in watching all three shows in the series and not much else from their 22-23 season. Their lone theater package only includes 6-7 (mostly) touring shows I don't want to watch. Going to call the box office this morning and see if they can tell me what's up.

I don't believe you can subscribe to just the Broadway Center Stage productions; rather you can add them to the KC theater subscription package and be guaranteed seats.

Inspired casting! I've heard incredible things about Mueller's Miss Adelaide in Chicago, so glad she's getting to revive her performance.

Well this sealed the deal for a trip to DC.

Iglehart is definitely an interesting choice for Nathan as he seems more likely a Nicely-Nicely Johnson to me. It’s really nice that a real-life married couple like Steven & Phillipa are gonna be playing a couple together.

That is grade-A casting. Wow.

I hate that I feel like JMI has been sleepwalking his time on stage since the day after he won the Tony for Aladdin. I want to be more excited but the shoes of Nathan Lane are still nowhere close to being filled for me.
