Rob Madge's MY SON'S A QUEER... at the Lyceum February 2024 — Page 6

Did Six start off-Broadway? I don't really know much about it's path to Broadway other than it opened in London first.

They were doing right by nobody by attempting to put this show on Broadway. Their hearts being in the right place means nothing if they can’t even get a production to its first performance. And now they have multiple canceled productions to their name- something that is unusual and off putting to future investors."

 

For Broadway it really isn't important to have your heart in the right place,  if your wallet has been misplaced.

 

I think we'll do just fine not having this on Broadway not sure of their intentions or need for it to be on Broadway. Why not the Public or one of the other non profits would have been the better route or just off-broadway. I doubt it will even happen now. Move on..........

This is a lovely and funny little bit from Rob on this debacle.

Yup. Memba' Room? Memba' Sing Street? Yeah I memba'... 

It’s not “emerging” - it’s well-established. Just like restaurants “close for renovation.” 

Didn't covid happen to Sing Street? Not quite the same thing. (Of course, I could be remembering incorrectly.)

Well, this is finally coming to NY - Three days at City Center in June

This is... probably what they should've done in the first place.

So Madge is joining Cabaret in London, but taking a week off two weeks in to do this show in NY? Interesting timing.

Any idea how this is selling now at NYCC?

Not well at all. 

fwiw rear mezz is where they're putting the Access Club seats (for people under 40), so I assume that's why they're well sold, but I'll wait to see when they show up on TDF.  But also I don't feel like I've really seen this announcement picked up or talked about a lot.  I guess it's tough timing with Tony nominations looming and with other awards announcing their nominees so the news about this might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

I mean, WONDERFUL TOWN isn’t exactly selling like hotcakes, but they aren’t pulling the plug on that.

It’s 3 performances in the middle of Pride month. I don’t think anyone will pull the plug out on such a limited run. Was it silly to book here and not somewhere like New World Stages? Probably. But their heart seems devoted to getting this show up in New York one way or another and I already bought myself a ticket because why not? I was gonna see it at the Lyceum and, having met Rob, they are a lovely person and I want their success to eventually come here.

Skip a night at the club and go support a queer artist and their new work instead of being such ghouls on this message board.
