Considering the cult hit it’s become, I’m surprised BEETLEJUICE is on the list
I picked SCANDALOUS

I have to say that I was certainly drawn in to the play (Part 1) just by the minimalism of it all (because I pictured a much more opulent production based on reading the play cold).
I’m seeing both parts in a few weeks (Since it’s been long enough where I need to refresh on Part 1). Honestly, I think the acting is very good, but even though I could do the marathon running time, I think the fact that there is a 7-hour marathon play out with no major recognizable names (until Tony Goldwyn
I feel like my brain has been programmed to cast Laurie Metcalf in literally everything lately. My brain immediately thought of her first when I saw this thread.
Can we just create a separate thread for Laurie Metcalf dream casting?

I absolutely love the revival cast recording where they took the three popular combinations of lovers and recorded them, specifically because two of them were so weird (Helena & Neville - siblings, Puffer and Deputy - huge age difference). The latter pairing occurred at both performances I saw.
Charles Pierson said: "I haven't been around for a while. I love the TDF ticket options.
I do have a question though. Can I buy tickets for for my daughter and friend using my account and they pick them up at the box office?"
I guess it depends on the show, because I recall hearing some success stories, but I usually stick to the policy that the account holder is the one who has to obtain the tickets (if anything because of the need to have ID at p

I’d assume every actor is different. Harris could have another project lined up where the others may not have.
That being said, I could see them throwing Richard Thomas in for a 12-week run or so before he sets out on the National Tour
Ruben & Clay Christmas back next year? Dec 11

So, apparently on The View today, Ruben & Clay announced (to Meghan McCains delight) that there are plans to bring back their Christmas show to Broadway (or tour) next year.
Wasnt this a massively hot mess last year? Discuss.

I’m going to assume the Majestic Theatre and Phantom has that locked down considering they have occupied that theatre for over three decades and prices have gone up quite a bit since they opened in 1988.
Despite Turnaround, ‘Beetlejuice’ Being Forced Out of Theater Dec 9

Short of TKAM closing before June (which is probably not happening), this just seems like the show is getting kicked in the nethers as they finally got on their feet. I didn’t even like the show and I still feel bad for them because it brought joy to a lot of my friends who wouldn’t ever be caught dead in a Broadway theatre
I honestly don’t think partial view really applies here. The theater is ridiculously small, and about 90 pipe I honestly don’t think partial view really applies here. The theater is ridiculously small, and about 95% Of the theater has decent sight lines. It’s not like you’re missing any real set or choreographed stage numbers. It’s all improvised and most of the time the cast is downstage center
With the original leads leaving in February, I wonder if we could possibly hope for a limited run with Samantha prior to her opening the show in London. Maybe they might use that as an opportunity for her to get her feet wet in the role

Considering Elton continues to extend his farewell tour, it makes sense that the launch of the show is shifted so he isn’t doing double duty.

So, my review of the show as a whole was less than kind, but I have to say the album is AWESOME. The cast doesnt sound like they are trying too hard to replicate Alanis, and I appreciate the diversity and range in their voices.
Even if you hated the show, the cast album is worth a listen and its $11.99 on iTunes.
And yes. Lauren Pattens You Oughta Know is the highlight, even if its an unearned moment for the character in the show.

Love Idina but now I can't get Sherie Rene Scottout of my head. The last time Sherie replaced another actress was in Rent.I wonder if she'd ever replace in this. If it runs long enough."
Thank god I’m not the only one who pictured Sherie Rene Scott. I kept seeing her

Today, I happened to see one pop up at Jagged Little Pill this afternoon. Although he seemed polite enough, he began to visible annoy the people on line after walking up and down asking for a spare ticket a few times.
