How does Cox look in the role? Part of the appeal of Cranston's performance was that he lookedand sounded so much like LBJ, especially with the lifts/prosthetics/wig. Brian Cox is 5'9, stocky, and73 (and easily passes for 80 on Succession),playing someone who was 6'4 and 57-

I got Broadway Week 2-for-1 tickets for 9/7- there was plenty available.
I loved the moment in Lifespan of a Fact when Cannavale says "He's in my house!" and the projection drops to show Radcliffe sleeping on a couch in the living room
JBroadway said: "I'm very curious to see if Betrayal ends up recouping. The numbers aren't bad at all, and I would bet they are making more than their weekly nut. But it's unclear whether the margin is enough to recoup with such a short run.
On the surface, it seems like a fairly cheap play to run, butI imagine all 3 of the leads are pulling in a hefty salary,plus lodging, etc. Especially Hiddleston."
JBroadway said: "Literally everything he has written after Next to Normal has been unbelievably bland (some would argue that even Next to Normal is too, though I like it). Not only is his music bland, it is actually so bland, that I can recognize when a song is written by him without any context, simply because nobody can write music as bland as he can. I’m not exaggerating! When he wrote the added song for Grease Live, I had no idea it was him beforehand, but when I heard the

Back in June I saw Kimberly Marable as Persephone thought she was fantastic. Amber is obviously a hard act to follow, but Kim had a great singing voice and energy for days.
I loved all three shows that closed today, but ironically I was at the final performance of a much shorter Broadway run: Criss Angel's weeklong Broadway residency. I was expecting cheesy Vegas-style theatrics, but was pleasantly surprised by the cool effects and genuinely mind-blowing tricks on display. Multiple times I thought "How did he do that?" Angel also grew up on Long Island, and genuinely realized what a big deal it was that he was on Broadway, which I don't think w
This show really surpassed my expectations, sad to see it go.
One casting note: Michael Potts is leaving Friday to film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom for Netflix. Michael Genet (most recently Chuck Cooper's understudy in Choir Boy) will play Mr. Hawkins for the remainder of the run.

I mean Constitution is not TKAM but it's still selling really well considering the other play this season. The grossings for Gary and HaC have been abysm
GeorgeandDot said: "I mean, I don't think this needs it's own thread, but I also thought that Tootsie was pretty godawful aside for the phenomenal performances that elevated the material. The book was funny aside for the plagiarized director dance scene that was taken directly from Robin Williams in The Bird Cage. Yazbeck's score has moments, but most of it falls flat and the set was ugly.
I think the show's biggest issue is the lowering of stakes. In the f
