I know I've gotten student tickets in the past. I think I paid around $30 for Tales of Hoffman (back in 2011). The seats were pretty high up, but the acoustics were great.
As of Sweat's closing last summer the plan was for Kiss Me, Kate to be the next RTC show at Studio 54 once they worked it out with Kelli's schedule. Not to say they couldn't change that, especially if Beautiful does close and free up the Sondheim, but that was the plan 9 months ago.
Kad said: "Perhaps ATG would go after it now, if the church were to try to move out."
I was just going to ask if they had begun establishing their foothold here in the US the last time the church put out some feelers about potentially selling (I vaguely remember the Cameron Mackintosh info Jay mentioned, but can't recall when that was specifically). If I remember correctly, they didn't really arrive on the scene as landlords here in the US until 2015 or
The subways will be perfectly fine at that time, especially the short distance between Lincoln Center and the Times Square area. It's actually also a pretty nice walk if the weather is good.
During previews they were sticking pretty firm to a 3 minutes after the hour for the downbeat. Now that they have gotten the run time to under 3 hours they may have relaxed that a bit (I haven't been there since opening), but I would imagine that they are still holding to that policy.
Whether it was Brooks's influence or not, the example I often use for the the problems with the film of The Producers is in the "Springtime for Hitler" sequence. In the original movie Mel gave us that hilarious overhead shot of the marching, spinning swastika. To replicate that on stage Stroman brilliantly used the overhead mirror device to show that to everyone in the orchestra level who wasn't looking down on the stage. In the musical film both the overh

Don't get me wrong, I would also hate a pared down revival on Broadway. This project (some 17 years ago) was to force myself to put it in a new space so I would be thinking about it differently. Since we also had to kind of be our own directors in those classes, my concept didn't reduce the cast size at al
MadsonMelo said: "Lea Michele can act and sing circles around Lady GaGa.
But you know, people just don't like her. I think she would be great as Elphaba and Fanny Brice, but at this point both projets seems odd to cast her after such a long time."
Ignoring the GaGa thing (because I'm not convinced she's funny either), but I have not seen Lea Michele once indicate that she is the type of comedienne the role of Fanny Brice requires. She wan
I actually think this is a show that would benefit greatly from being in a smaller space. In undergrad I used it for one of my scene design projects and did it in our studio theatre as a 3/4 thrust and put prison bars behind the seating sections to make the entire theatre the prison.
Thanks to this thread it made me check to see whether the Vanessa Williams recording was available digitally (it wasn't a few years back) and I'm glad to see that it is now! My original CD had an issue where the first track would never play unless I rewound from the second track (it was a Columbia House purchase, so no easy way to exchange back then), and when I imported the CD into iTunes years ago it also said that that first track couldn't be imported. So I'm happy that I c
Regarding the signage for taping/filming, I've been to some shows and opening night parties where filming for reality shows was taking place. There were signs posted at the entrance, but there was no disclaimer that I had to agree to when getting the tickets and certainly nothing that I had to sign.

The 1998 revival of The Sound of Music did receive a cast recording, and of course there's also the soundtrack from the NBC live production.

However, of the latter three (Company closed too quickly after the Tonys to see any appreciable bump), none really seemed to benefit long-term from the win. If you take the top ten weeks that both The Color Purple
Very true, and probably what I meant more to address (but was rushing and not expressing all my own thoughts) was that even though they are credited as producers, I don't think their subscriber base is having a much of an effect on the grosses, either positively or negatively.
I'm curious what the arrangement is for Roundabout to be receiving producer credits on Children of a Lesser God.
For what's it's worth, the Roundabout website does state "Children of a Lesser God is not a Roundabout Theatre Company production" on the "Shows & Events" page.

Jarethan said: "I thought she ruined Lucy and Jessie, because she had two left feet."
Whereas I thought Warren Carlyle ruined "Lucy and Jessie" by not working to give her choreography that would allow her to shine. I know several choreographers who had worked with her in the past, and while all admitted that she was not a great dancer, they did say that she was a hard worker and they were always able to craft choreography around what she could do that made
Obviously this could have changed, but as of when Sweat closed this past summer the house staff were being told that the next Roundabout show there would be Kiss Me, Kate, and it was just a matter of waiting for everyones' (i.e. Kelli's) schedule to line up.
