So if someone says they're going to see a show on Thursday, you feel you need to know why they can't go on Wednesday, or Tuesday or last week? If someone is going to an evening show on atwo show day, you need to know why they were unable to attend the matinee? He's asking for advice based on his expected schedul
If only there were some clue as to why The Inheritance would be influenced by gay plays of the past, given that it's a play about generations of gay men passing along their history. Hmm. Total mystery there.

Ah yes, the only time these events ever happen. Can't imagine why everyone doesn't pay royalties to Mart Crowley for "everyone gathers for a party and argues" stories since he clearly invented that. And Jackson Pollock is the only person who eve

Don't get me wrong, that's unfortunate for his dad, but your logic doesn't track. The house burned down in May, so he backed out of a job that began 3 months later in July and would run for (at least) a year? Obviously this tragedy didn'

Should have posted it on the OT board, I guess.
Wish her the best, but that sucks that the show had to scramble in their final weeks to deal with this.
Lonny Price was there Friday night. *insert speculation here*
This is not a review, but just a few thoughts.
As a woman who falls under the category of unmarried 30-something, who has a long history with this show, I knew feelings would be had and it did not disappoint.
Some of the book changes worked better than others. It's not perfect, by any means. The people I saw it with and I all had different things we focused on. I don't know if there's an

You literally just described all of Broadway. Remember Roundabout's Cabaret revival revival? Or the 4 separate revivals of Glass Menagerie or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in just my lifetime? Do you truly think they're all "
I've been to all 4 Broadway Center Stage events at the Kennedy Center. They're in costume, complete script, mostly off-book and minimal set design. It's not a full production, with sets flying in and out, and elaborately choreographed numbers, but with the casts they're putting together, I've never felt I've missed out.
Kennedy Center did stage their own productions off and on for a few years, and Ragtime and Follies both transferred to Broadway, but unfortunate
"Trigger warnings" has kind of become twisted to mean "snowflake millennials who need safe spaces", but I can't help but wonder how many of the laundry list of complaints in that first image actually came from conservative, elderly subscribers who are offended by language, nudity, and adult content.
The younger generations didn't invent the concern, they just have a new name for it.

What? If you fly direct from the US, you don't need a passport, and you don't go through customs. I've done it often.

I think the lesson you can learn is "Don't put a theme park ride on Broadway and expect it to be taken seriously as musical theatre."
The creatives spent 5+ years and $35 million dollars on this show. They had more than enough time and money to improve upon the book and the score. They di
JSquared2 said: "As others have said, it is against the law to sell the same ticket twice --- the empty seats were no doubt "no-shows"."
What? I've been to theatres were they have strict no late seating policies, and at showtime, they count the empty seats and fill them in from the standby line.
the1liamg, this weekend, the first person got there at 3:30, and only 3 got tickets.
My friend and I tried to get tickets in the waitlist line the other night.
At 7:30, they announced they had only 3 tickets for the waitlist. We were disappointed and it was our only chance to see the show, but we thought whatever, it happens.
However, we knew people who did have tickets that night, and they told us later that there were multiple seats that remained empty for the whole show.
I know they're not obligated to sell the empty seats to us, but it seems

Delia and her friends are perpetually dressing in stylized, chilly appropriations and revisions of ethnic clothes from around the world, complete with near-Kabu
This cast is too white. There is no reason why 8 out of 9 speaking roles should be cast with white actors in 2018. Especially glaring when every minority ensemble member is regulated to the R&B boy band bit.
Book needs to be funnier, but I guess that's what they're workshopping. Some jokes fell completely flat with no reaction. Beetlejuice as a character is very unevenly written. It's not Alex Brightman's fault, it's the material. Sometimes, the humor was gr
