The 2018 Best Actor in a Musical Race  May 8 2018, 02:42:07 PM

VotePeron said: "Really rooting for Ethan Slater. But I also think Andy Karl was robbed. So maybe I'm not the best judge for the Best Actor category..."

Groundhog Day should’ve waited until this season. I’m still bitter.

TRAVESTIES Reviews  Apr 24 2018, 08:11:27 PM

An A- from Entertainment Weekly. It's a "giddy, head-spinning triumph."

King Kong Casting  Apr 24 2018, 11:31:55 AM

So this must be why Eric isn't returning to Be More Chill this summer.



BE MORE CHILL to Premiere Off-Broadway This Summer  Apr 17 2018, 09:09:13 AM
Haha yep, that’s exactly what I meant! Sorry for any confusion. Since it’s already been licensed to R&H I can’t imagine they’re changing that much, but I’ve only seen 1 show technically in previews before so it’ll be a fun experience.

Addison: he was in the premiere production in NJ, doesn't look like he's going to be back for Off-Broadway.

I bought a ticket for the August 5 matinee. If they're making any changes it should be close to frozen by then. If you are there, do say hello. 



BE MORE CHILL to Premiere Off-Broadway This Summer  Apr 13 2018, 11:11:29 AM

I'm one of those people who really loves this show, but even I can recognize that it's going to be a nine week nightmare for everyone involved because of how insane the fandom is. 



Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees to Make Broadway Debut in KINKY BOOTS; Carrie St. Louis and J. Harrison Ghee to Join Cast  Apr 11 2018, 06:39:41 PM

I like Neon Trees but Tyler Glenn is.... not who I would've expected, even for a stunt casting. I'm intrigued, though. With the timing and everything, seems like this is trying to replicate Brendon Urie as Charlie from last summer? He did a whole lot for the show's grosses, iirc. Does Neon Trees have the kind of fanbase that Panic! at the Disco does? 



Renee Taylor takes the Cortt??  Mar 3 2018, 08:57:32 AM
The Cort needs its renovation before ANYTHING else goes in.

ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE Previews  Feb 20 2018, 01:16:02 AM
Since my knowledge of Jimmy Buffett begins and ends with the fact that there is a stretch of Route 114 in Sag Harbor, NY (where I lived for a time) that is owned by the Metro Parrothead Club, can someone explain to me what exactly his appeal is? I am about two-three decades late to the party on him but I have always wondered.

Aaron Sorkin's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Adaptation to premiere on Broadway December 13, 2018  Feb 15 2018, 03:49:24 PM

Not sure how I feel about the kids being played by adults, but with that cast I'm definitely willing to hold any judgement until I see it. This has a lot of potential and anything that gets Jeff Daniels back onstage is good in my book.



MCC and LaBute  Feb 15 2018, 12:15:05 PM

Sudden cancellation of MCC's production of Reasons to be Pretty Happy, and termination of Neil LaBute's playwright-in-residence position.

New production of CHESS at Kennedy Center sets cast  Nov 29 2017, 05:31:26 PM
https://www.broadway.com/buzz/190417/raul-esparza-karen-olivo-ramin-karimloo-ruthie-ann-miles-to-lead-chess-at-the-kennedy-center/

Raúl Esparza will play Freddie Trumper, Ramin Karimloo will play Anatoly Sergievsky, Karen Olivo will play Florence Vassy, and Ruthie Ann Miles will play Svetlana Sergievsky in a new production of Chess running at the Kennedy Center in February.

That's a starry cast right there.

PLEASE! PLEASE. PLEASE. 



Small cast comedy  Nov 29 2017, 11:54:27 AM

Noises Off is a classic. It's a comedy, set in the theatre so you could get a little meta with it, and has a 9-person cast with a pretty even sex/gender breakdown.

Waitress Potential Cast Replacements  Nov 27 2017, 05:27:47 PM

Poppy will be 23 in January. That's probably a good age for Dawn (if a touch young) but way too young for Jenna. 



Jason Mraz to Make Broadway Debut in WAITRESS  Nov 27 2017, 02:31:09 PM

darquegk said: "If they ever decide to go with a musician-turned-acting-hobbyist for Pomatter, Ben Folds would probably be a more natural fit than Mraz, though he has the working relationship with Bareilles to tie him to the production more tangibly."

.... now I really want to see Ben Folds as Dr Pomatter. 



Jason Mraz to Make Broadway Debut in WAITRESS  Nov 5 2017, 03:22:22 PM

Report at intermission: he's... fine, I guess? He seems a little wooden, but it fits with the character well. He sounds fabulous though.



Jason Mraz to Make Broadway Debut in WAITRESS  Nov 5 2017, 12:33:18 PM
It was up on TKTS this morning (I'll try not to read into that) and I managed to snag a pair for the matinee today. I will report back.
