Cody Simpson literally made Anastasia close and I swear if Mean Girls closes because of this I’ll be very mad. This show is very special to me and I love the cast and the understudies and this is just stupid and a horrible horrible choice."

There is no such rule or requirement. It's on a show by show basis and depends on what each actor has negotiated.
msmp said: "Weird role to stunt cast. Aaron has half a song total, basically, and not much in the way of lines (and I say that as someone who really liked Kyle Selig's Aaron when I saw the show). We'll see but I can't imagine this is the kind of stunt cast that'll pack 'em in to the August Wilson."
Would you prefer they put someone with no discernible talent in one of the leading roles?

Huh?? What a ridiculous statement! Mantello has been consistently directing 3-4 plays a year on Broadway, not to mention numerous workshops, readings, develop

There are laws in 43 statesregarding this type of thing. Chasetook videos and pictures of her without her knowing, and emailed/text them to people. If you don't think that he meant to cause harm or that that is illegal, or that Chase is a sexual predator, I don't know what to tell you.
Sutton Ross said: "She is a victim, that's not up for debate. If someone sends out nude photographs of another person without their consent, they can face criminal charges. Many states characterize this as revenge porn that can result in legal consequences. I think only about 38 states have those laws on the books since this time of crime is very new. Keep in mind that even if the victim originally gave the person consent to take the photographs, it becomes illegal when they are

I saw BOM at the invited dress rehearsal, then again last summer -- and with few exceptions, the current cast comes nowhere close to the magic of the originals. Now that they know they're THE comedy to see on Broadway, they're overplaying most of the jokes and missing all of the subtleness.
At last night's performance of WEST SIDE STORY, there was a lone girl in the orchestra who would loudly "Whoo Whoo!!!" at the end of EVERY number! So annoying (particularly in this production). I only wish I had been sitting behind her so I could have swatted her in the head with a rolled up Playbill!
Unless Tony Yazbek or Anthony Haden-Guest blows people away in FLYING OVER SUNSET, I would say Isaac Powell is a pretty safe bet for Best Actor in a Musical. Is there anyone else in the running besides Rob McClure or Aaron Tveit?

I do understand they are thinking of the majority, but the majority might understand a medical issue. I always sit in an aisle seat, and am never disruptive any other way. I just think the few shows that refuse to reseat patrons all together is pretty ridiculous.I think cell phones are far more distracting to patrons, cast, and crew. Just my view, I guess."
Mike Barrett said: "I'd love for their to be an investor/producer who promises lower prices to make theater more available for others. I know this isn't realistic, I don't work in the business and am not acting like I do, but man I really wish this would happen. So many people my age (22) don't attend or even think to attend theatre because of the prices it takes to go see it. Millennials simply don't have the $$$. I worry about the future of broadway because of t
LuPita2 said: "I just don't think that's okay. I suffer from IBS, and usually have no issues attending theater, but unfortunately a few times, I had to go to the bathroom, or there would have been a pretty gross situation. The folks at Groundhog Day, Hamilton, and Moulin Rouge were incredibly kind, and escorted me back to my seat when it was an appropriate time. If there a true emergency situation, and if you must use the bathroom, is it really fair to punish
