Making room for SIX?

No way will this survive till November they had four rows filled the other day, but I had fun. Hello SIX

I do feel bad for Jeanette Bayardelle booking this and being told two days later that she’s gonna be jobless in November.

I’m curious if they would consider putting some of the Encores! transfers here. I’d love to see THE WILD PARTY or BAT BOY in this space"

Lisa was great but the role is a stinker. The girl playing Veronica ….wow wow wow thou stunning and girl can sing

Is the Six moving off-Broadway thing actually happening, or is that just another rumor?

Because I was curious is the proshot hitting theaters soon might indicate they were going to wind down their tour or Broadway run.

ATG is producing BAT BOY and unless something has changed they are still aiming for Broadway. Bizarrely.

WILD PARTY is probably too big. One of the things that brought down shows like HEATHERS and DRAG is that they're almost Broadway-scale in their cast, band, and crew size. SPELLING BEE is kind of the sweet spot for commercial off-Broadway: 9 in the onstage cast, 5 in the band, and lends itself well to a small space. SIX fits that.

I'm kind of surprised they wouldn't try to run through the end of the year. It seems odd for them to close prior to the major holidays.

Either way - I've been long delayed getting to see this, so I definitely will before closing.

No, not even close.

It’ll make a killing on tour though.

Spelling Bee doesn't appear to be extending, either, which is a shame. So that's three of the theaters there that'll be empty come September.

Yes, I have long wondered why the transfers of (smaller scale) Encores or nonprofit off-Broadway theatres don’t go to NWS instead of Broadway.

I don’t quite understand how these off-Broadway shows work financially. Heathers The Musical is far from a great show but I had a good time, in part because Sara Al-Bazali, the Veronica standby I saw at a packed Thursday matinee, was so talented that I overlooked the flaws.

Back in March, the show seemed to sell out every performance but I guess it has weakened since the departure of some key cast members and because - as we have seen with certain Broadway musicals - shows just hit a wall at a certain point.

This musical has bounced around for years, all over the world. Have the producers or creatives made some money, even if this off-Broadway run will not?

I’m surprised they extended, they have been doing shows for 50-80 people. 🫠"

This is a complete and outright lie.

Peyton List was the big casting draw despite the fact that critical reception of her was not good. I know I tapped out when most of the originals left. I went back for Kuhoo and Jodie Steele and, while Kuhoo was electric, Jodie Steele seemed to play her like Chelsea Handler after a bender. After 8-9 trips, I think I just had my fill.
