This pulp article just got coverage in Broadway Briefing this morning. Anyone have thoughts onto whether the gossip like this makes a Broadway push more likely?

A transfer is happening. Perfs start at the end of March at the Lyceum.

I believe this was a theatrical first for me last night.

Maybe 30-40 minutes into Act 1. There is a scene with the family in the kitchen. Conor grabbed an old fashioned glass milk jug, then it looked like someone lightly bumped into him, and he dropped it. It shattered, with a thick milky substance and glass spraying out on the stage. The actors played it off, and I assumed it was intentional. Then I thought to myself, that's a lot of glass. The stage manager quickly came on the mic to call the actors offstage and the crew on to clean up.

As we were all watching, it didn't seem like they were able to 100% get everything up with the tools they had. I'm pretty sure I saw one of the crew react to cutting themselves on the glass. The stage manager then called a 15 minute intermission to fully address the situation, which they did. I was hoping that this would take the place of the scheduled intermission, but that 15 minutes occurred as well.

I went to take a video of the marquee yesterday. Looks fine to me. It actually looks great after dark. It says "a new musical" under the title.

Thanks for the info! I wonder if they wanted to put a drummer in the band but they hadn't actually prepare any dialogue for this role. Interesting to see if it gets expanded on broadway, does seem odd if he never speaks.

The Sing Street Original Broadway Cast Album became available digitally today!

It sounds amazing. Cannot wait to see this again on Broadway when the time comes, and I'm sure in regional/community theaters for a long time.

Kad said: "It’s disappointing they did not include the licensed music, particularly the various versions of “Rio.”"



I agree. Especially because the version of "Rio" that Raphina sings feels very much like number created for the musical, in the way that it's arranged, and in the way that it blends in other songs. Seems a shame to have that sort of thing missing from the album.

However, it's worth mentioning that they did include 1 of the licensed songs - "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode, the opening number
