Beetlejuice vs. Tootsie vs. Ain't Too Proud  Mar 6 2019, 06:40:42 PM

If you want big, bright musical comedy, go for Tootsie! I saw it is it's pre-Broadway run in Chicago and loved it.. (even bought a t-shirt!). I do fear that it may get a little lost in the Marquis.. but it is still worth it for Santino Fontana's brilliant performance alone.. Also I'm always a sucker for a David Yazbeck score!

Ain't Too Proud would be up the line of Beautiful, Motown, Jersey Boys, etc.. Not my cup of tea, but if you do enjoy the Bio-Musical genre, I have


CENTER THEATER GROUP - Worst Season Ever?  Mar 6 2019, 06:24:15 PM

Larry6417 said: "While I do not agree that CTG's customer service is bad, sans the nasty House Manger at the Ahmanson, I do agree that the new Ahmanson season is plain awful.

RemlapLBC: Assuming the Ahmanson did not get a new House Manager, and is still the lady that is has been for years, she has never been anything but friendly and helpful anytime I've interacted with her, even just passing hellos.  Must strongly disagree with you..


2019-2020 Touring Season  Feb 28 2019, 03:57:37 PM

I'm also surprised Bandstand isn't in the Cleveland season in some way or another (in season or swap-out), considering the city of Cleveland is so prominent in the show. Seems like a missed opportunity for all involved.

Fire trucks outside Broadhurst?!  Dec 10 2018, 08:56:22 PM

I believe the Broadhurst only has Lower Level main restrooms, there is a single stall restroom on the Orchestra level under the far staircase.

 

The Broadhurst lower lounge has a large main bar, the bar manager's office and ice closet under the staircases, and the main restrooms on opposite sides. There is also the pass door to the Schoenfeld tunnel through the Men's room.

There is usually a Merchandise stand down there, and there has be


If you could go back to one performance...  Nov 19 2018, 02:06:04 PM

Performance I want to see AGAIN - Funny Girl at the Actors Fund Concert 2002. I just rewatched Seth Rudetsky's Lillias White deconstruction last night and would love to go back and feel all that energy in the New Amsterdam again.

A performance I'd like to see that I missed: Patti LuPone in Evita (or the performance where Nancy Opel became a turtle in the Eva Dress..)



THE PROM Previews  Oct 23 2018, 10:38:45 PM

Exactly! I don't get it...

Plus, Urinetown won best Score Tony with a song titled 'Cop Song'...because it is a song that all the cops sing..., if 'Acceptance Song' is the appropriate song title, what is the issue? 

I'm really hoping this one can pull off a Gentleman's Guide-esque run if it is the charming musical comedy it is seeming to be.



Hamilton Trade for Tonight, 10/17  Oct 17 2018, 03:28:15 PM

When reading the original post I had the same thought.. $400 for partial view sounds ridiculous (because it IS..). HOWEVER, I did a quick search on Ticketmaster for March, April and May and the low end of resale for C 17 and C 19  was $376 per ticket, plus fees, so the $400 isn't too far off what has become going rate for those seats. 

A quick check of StubHub and Ticketmaster for tonight shows 110 available tix, 8% of the available Richard Rodgers Inventory of 1344. with


Original POTO production returning in 2019 World Tour  Oct 5 2018, 01:26:32 AM

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/23/18  Sep 24 2018, 04:03:25 PM

quizking101 said: "Part of me wants to think most of the capacity drops are because last week had the Broadway Week 2-For-1 sales that put extra butts in the seats..."

That would seem to be true for Harry Potter - which saw their gross drop by $450K but their capacity remain at 100%. But for Wicked, there was a 20% drop in attendance but only a $150K drop in Gross. If the 2-for-1 were putting butts in seats at all theatres, then the Wicked capacity would be up n


Bandstand Tour Still Happening?  Sep 24 2018, 04:45:50 AM

ghostlight2 said: ""I really hate to say this but a White Person musical about nationalism and PTSD will be lapppppped up by the tRumpers"

It is true that there were no people of color in the show (unfortunate, as it would have been so easy to cast), but while the show waspro-military personnel, it was not about nationalism. Not at all. Also, it doesn't really seem like a lot of Trump supporters are very sympathetic to sufferers of PTSD. After all, t


Dolby Theatre in LA to get National Tours in 2020  Aug 15 2018, 04:02:35 PM

Thanks. Totally forgot to include the link!



Dolby Theatre in LA to get National Tours in 2020  Aug 15 2018, 03:55:12 PM

It was announced today that the Dolby Theatre in LA will be a touring venue in 2020.. Timing seems to line up for Hamilton to move its sit down to LA after a year in SF.. (also probably why Frozen is launching with a long Fall of 2019 Tour Stop at the Pantages..?)

If I remember correctly this also happened during a recent long term stay for Wicked at the Pantages. 

Has anyone seen a small scale tour at the Dolby? I'd imagine the bigger shows (Lion King, Aladdin, Wicked)


Bull Durham Fraud  Aug 10 2018, 02:56:46 PM

I caught Bull Durham in Atlanta in 2014, if all of this has given the creative team time to work on the show/score and hopefully do some recasting.. (I like Melissa Errico, but I'd like to see someone brassier as Annie..) This could be a fun addition to the 2018-2019 season. 

My Casting Thoughts-

Annie - Carmen Cusack

Crash - Will Swenson or Paul Alexander Nolan

Nuke - Claybourne Elder

Time will tell if this ever gets off the ground..

What if? Best musicals from 1940-1948  Mar 30 2018, 06:47:53 PM

@henrik

I was back and forth between Lady in the Dark and Best Foot Forward, but taking into consideration WW2, I went with the idea that the happier musical comedy would win over the darker, seemingly ahead-of-its-time Lady in the Dark. 

Brigadoon was one of the first classics I learned when I was in a community theatre production as a teenager and is a sentimental favorite, tho I do also love Finian's.. 

@newintown-

I definitely went calendar year,

Fun Home Tour  Mar 20 2018, 06:29:39 AM

I loved the tour.. the white brick wall that was in for the NYC and Diner scenes was lifted to flat from the floor upstage where the wall then became the ceiling of the Parlor set, the wall piece's floor side (where the 2 doors are), was then the upstage ceiling in the Parlor, which then created a rectangular box set. The bench that was used in the Diner/Ring of Keys scene stayed downstage center, becoming the Car

A Chorus Line 2018 National Tour  Jan 3 2018, 10:52:55 PM

It looks like MadonnaMusical meant the small towns that are announced on the tour schedule in this press release.. Easton, PA, Morristown, NJ etc..  Not referring to Dallas, Houston, Jacksonville, etc..

There are plenty of similar sized tour markets in TX that could be on this itinerary (there are a few gaps in dates in April and all of May, so they may show up if Big League and its bookers can come to terms with any of them..)  Corpus Christi, Harlingen, Katy, El Paso, Austi


Worst National Tour  Sep 1 2017, 03:53:30 PM

RippedMan said: "From what I remember they cut the arena in half and then section it off. So it's not the same set up for like a Justin Bieber concert. It's only a smaller section that is available."

Exactly. Some Arenas and local presenters are better at creating a "Theatre" within the arena by hanging Black drapes around the arena to cut off the side being used for audience seating and the backstage area. Some arenas do not put in the time an
