NYT: Tony Awards Who Will/Should Win 2018  May 9 2018, 04:16:51 PM

I don't have a problem with them including Off Broadway, mostly because Yerma was one of the best productions of the season and I really wish it/Piper were eligible

 



How Much Longer Does BEAUTIFUL Have?  May 8 2018, 09:21:40 PM

LesWickedly said: "I’d love for Kiss Me Kate to be in the American Airlines. Loved On the Twentieth Century in there, but I’d say Studio 54 is likely."

True West opens January 24 at the American Airlines, so it would likely overlap with Kiss Me Kate previews- so my guess is Studio 54



If You Could Guarantee One Nomination...  Apr 30 2018, 05:57:13 PM

Musicals: Etai Benson, Andrew Polk and Ariel Stachel for Band's Visit; Kerry Butler for Mean Girls

Plays: 1984 for Best Play and Director; Jin Ha for M. Butterfly (a brilliant performance in a brilliant production that closed way too soon)



SAINT JOAN (2018) Previews  Apr 25 2018, 02:40:41 PM

Ironically the epilogue was my favorite part of the show. It's the only section in the play that really grapples with Joan's legacy.

This show left me completely unmoved. I loved Rashad in Doll's House, so I was looking forward to seeing her in a true lead role. 

And while she's great, she disappears for long stretches so that men can talk about her. Page and Davenport each have good monologues, but I found myself really missing Rashad while she was offstage

Billie Piper to reprise her Olivier Winning performance in  Apr 14 2018, 07:41:37 PM

What a brilliant show. Billie Piper gave a tour de force performance, and Brendan Cowell was also excellent. Very dark material, but ingeniously staged.

Armory is a beautiful venue too. Our seats were halfway up, and we clearly saw and heard everything going on in the glass box.

Jesse Green is mixed positive- says the play hasn't aged well but Ridloff and Jackson are great. I tend to agree

Janet McTeer Returning to Broadway This Fall in 'Bernhardt/Hamlet'  Apr 9 2018, 12:41:19 PM

The only Rebeck I've seen is Seminar, and I loved that- so will probably see this. I also enjoyed Moritz's work on Hand to God and Present Laughter. Will be great to see McTeer live too

Will KINKY BOOTS run longer than HAIRSPRAY? Should it?  Apr 5 2018, 01:19:03 PM

DAME said: "Kinky right now is in great shape. Saw Wayne and David Cook yesterday afternoon and the show was on fire. I never thought it was a good show . But nevertheless a good time is stil to be had. Anyone remember the Kinky Vs Matilda debate ?"

Kinky all the way for me- I found Matilda to be a real drag



Will KINKY BOOTS run longer than HAIRSPRAY? Should it?  Apr 5 2018, 01:18:05 PM

bdn223 said: "While I adore Hairspray, at this point in its run, the show was running in fumes and was casting any B or C list celebrity who could vaguely fit the type of one its large ensemble cast of characters. It did give us some great Pennys with Diana Digarmo and Alexa Vega, but then gave us Beaver playing Wilbur. Roth seems to have very much perfected the stunt casting model with Kinky Boots. Unlike Hairspray, which has a large ensemble cast, Kinky Boots really only has 3 main

CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD (2018) Previews  Mar 31 2018, 08:47:58 PM

Well, I was the only person on this board to defend M. Butterfly and Present Laughter- and it looks like this show makes three.

I thought Lauren Ridloff was sensational. The way she commanded the stage without even saying a word was so impressive, and the few times she did express herself verbally were so powerful.

Joshua Jackson was a very good foil- he had great chemistry with Ridloff and a few powerful monologues.

Anthony Edwards was fine in a small role- he doesn'

Tony Award Performances- Questionable Song/Performance Choices  Mar 24 2018, 07:29:01 AM

THE ICEMAN COMETH (2018) Previews  Mar 23 2018, 04:09:52 PM

CoercedBull said: "A Director said: "The Iceman Cometh is a ONE SET show!"

This was my thought as well, although JBroadway makes a good point re: Three Tall Women. Either way, I'm excited to see this on Tuesday!

Anyone who's there tonight or this weekend, I'd love a report of how the show's looking. I'm curious about the runtime of the loooooong show.

I've also never been to the Jacobs before. My wife and I h


Ethan Hawke and Paul Dano to Star in Broadway Revival of Sam Shepard’s True West  Mar 20 2018, 01:03:28 PM

I love both of these guys, so this has the potential to be great. Nice work, Roundabout.

(Also, given the dates, I guess Kiss Me Kate is taking Studio 54?)
