For those of you interested in an ever so brief sneak peak/hint of what Jones will be like as Diana she joined Aaron Tveit and Jennifer Damiano on  "Super Boy and the Invisible Girl"  as part of the NYT TimesTalks  honoring Michael Greif in October 2016, right before DEH opened on Broadway. The entire Talk (about 1 hour 15 minutes) is well worth listening to with a lot of great reflections by Greif (and in addition to the aforementioned, Ben Platt, Adam Chanler-Berat,

For all of you taking a deep dive into the cast recording, the below links to an Interesting NEW YORKER article on Baz Luhrmann's involvement as the recording's producer, especially in describing his coaxing performances from Tveit and Olivo in their joint numbers. So implicit, tt seems, is his desire to greatly improve upon the performances he inherited from Timbers.  A bit of a subtle burn, I thought.  After the recording, I wonder if Tveit and Olivo then went back to the

Was that really necessary? If anything one would say he’s successful on his ownin spite of “Daddy”. Steven Roth is a major Trump supporter, and certainly no friend to the arts. Jordancould easily have become another Jared Kushner but chose not to.

And might we not have Daryl Roth to thank for that? Though Jordan might have had daddy’

 

 

So looking forward to Jessie's TV fans showing up sans any theater etiquette just to see him nude, bringing with them their inappropriate and loud woo-hoos and tee-hees as if they are in their living room(exacerbated no doubt by their pre-show cocktails), ruining the play for others and pissing off the actors.  You all know that will happen. Ugh. Have never seen a first class production of this play and really want to see it, but boy does this likely occur

Saloniki is a small, local fast casual serving, fresh, modern Greek cuisine and is fantastic. It is located in the Harvard Information Center with access by walking through the HIC from Mass Ave or from the street @ 24 Dunster St. 

I have sat in nearly every section at ART and have never had a bad seat, though I understand everyone has their preferences and certain shows have special configurations that I have not experienced. I don't recall an instance of having to do a "

Would like to echo the enthusiasm expressed by others  for this production of CAROLINE OR CHANGE. Was always so curious about this show and was not able to catch any performances in NY and, unfortunately, could not swing the trip to London to see the recent production. Had low expectations going in as I knew it was a difficult chamber-like piece. The singing and performances are uneven (and I think a few missteps exist in Kushner's work) but the young boy, Ben Choi-Harris as Noah, Ye

Home-made excellent qualityDVDs of the broadcast are the closest you will get and are easily available for purchase online (for about $8) most notably on Etsy."

How really, really, lovely of SF to be so gracious. He just sang/dance/acted his tush off for two hours plus yet some classless and clueless stage door d**che thinks he/she is ALSO entitled to a post-show performance? 

For those not able to get to this in NY or London or for whom remaining premium ticket costs in NY are prohibitive,  please know that National Theater Live will be capturing and broadcasting it in UK in July 25 with additional dates to roll out after that (not yet announced as of yesterday). Yep, not the same as being there, but better than missing this seemingly singular production completely. For those of you who receive NTL emails, they have not yet announced it but it is on the websi

FYI National Theater Live captured both McKellen's 'King Lear" and Mirren's "The Audience."  Depending on  where you live"King Lear" is currently in rotation (Symphony Space this Fri night if

This quote from the NYT article does not exactly speak of a major overhaul some of us thought was needed--don't know if "many, many little" changes will do the trick, but we shall see:

"In an interview, the producers said the show is being revised somewhat after its last production. “We were quite happy with the work we did on our original musical, but you can always keep improving, and the changes we have made are many, many little ones that add up to a more s

Mike Barrett said: "Does everyone avoid the tours because of the Opera House? I generally think they have good sight lines, but I could just be used to it after all these years of seeing shows there. 

ditto what allthatjazz2 said - would rather spend the money to see the original production in New York in smaller theaters.  

Do also want to endorse ArtsEmerson as others have - some incredible stuff, much of it  internationally source

I too mostly avoid the big tours, but Huntington and A.R.T are musts. Usually two or three shows each season at each of these companies are standouts. Just saw Cristofer's "Man In the Ring"  directed (yay!) by Michael Greif at Huntington --though needs some further tweaking, it was quite the theatrical gift and I hope it has a future life --also hope others here in Boston got the chance to see it. Thoughts of those who saw it? Also loved "The Niceties" at Huntingt

After that, I waited at the SD, but just after several minutes, I only sew Joan Allen andDavid Cromer came out (only Joan Allen did the SD things). And then the security man said everyone had gone. I still kept waiting but no actors came out. And I even waited again on Jan 3, a bit earlier before the show ended. Again, only a coupleof minutes after the show, the staff said eve

Does he do it after Day Shows?

Here's a respectful suggestion, why don't you buy a ticket to the show so you can enjoy Jeremy on stage. You will be sure to see him using this method.  If he then stage doors, a bonus gift for you! Otherwise, you will have had the pleasure of his performance to keep in your heart and mind forever, which, i

Went to see this opening night and urge all Boston area theater lovers to go see it. Please know that I have nothing to do with the show. Just a Greif fan who is grateful to the Huntington for bringing Greif and Cristofer to Boston.

John Douglas Thompson and Kyle Vincent Terry (remember that name) are superb - they do a very difficult dance as the older and younger versions of Emile Griffith and they pull it off beautifully. The production receives beautiful staging - it is a visual tr

Extremely well said and bravo BroadwayConcierge, HogansHero and AdamGreer , but it will all likely fall on the sad, deaf ears of those obsessives who really need to hear it.

I knew that stage dooring had become peculiar and creepy, but I got a special peek at the crazy, crazy sense of entitlement and dysfunction while waiting for an Uber on the street where the MOULIN ROUGE stage door line emptied out on to after seeing an evening performance. Wow. I can only surmise that stage dooring

LuPita2 said: ""I was stunned that Uranowitz and Von Essen received Tony nominations."

They were not in this broadcast so why were you stunned? You said you did not see this on Broadway, therefore did not see them. They were both amazing. You didn't see them on PBS since that was the London cast."

Absolutely my big mistake. Made a huge assumption it was the NY cast. Did not realize they filmed the London cast. Couldn't figure out why Uran
