Yes! It's a mashup of Bad Romance, Britney Spears' Toxic, and Sweet Dreams Are Made of This. From what I saw on iTunes, they're calling it "Backstage Romance," which is a reference to Christian (Aaron Tveit) introducing Act II by talking about a romance that had blossomed aside from his
UncleCharlie's advice is good, I think; don't connect it to a show but casually suggest meeting at some point to talk about acting and the profession in general if you feel like you've established a rapport through your IG conversations!
Jordan Catalano said: "Won’t Bareilles be on tour when the show closes?"
Her concert tour ends a couple days before Thanksgiving, which would theoretically give her time to get back into the role and close the show out with a 4-5 week run starting in December and ending on 1/5.

I remember seeing on twitter that his mother had passed away last week, and there's an obit from a Long Island paper. I imagine that was the reason he was out and off of social media (where he is normally quite acti

Did they give Alison her own Playbill or are they still using Shoshana's?

For a musical, "limited run" would probablyjust be a branding thing to add urgency (one could assume they would hopeto extend,unless it's a situation where there's another tenant coming in).It's a little more "noble" to close after 4-6 months if you've already announced that date from day 1. Of course, some of the Bwayfi

It’s coming."
A lot of the fans I know are expecting that if there's a transfer announcement, it'll formally come on August 18th, which would be the main character (Percy Jackson)'s birthday based on the original novels. Given the s

Some of these shows are getting boosts as the summer tourist season winds down, so they ought to be doing well, but the usual suspects just keep roaring along. Of the newer musicals, Hadestown, Ain't Too Proud, and Moulin Rouge! are all major hits. To Kill a Mockingbird is a smash hit play, and <
I always just tell them how much I enjoyed their performance. If it's someone I've been a fan of for a long time, I might also mention what of their performances I enjoyed but only after praising their current show--after all, that's the reason I'm there seeing them in the first place! It usually touches them, assuming they're not in a huge rush/the stage door isn't totally packed and they have a moment or two to chat with everyone.
They really did a fantastic job on this album. Definitely going to be one of my most-frequent plays. I love that they included Yente's two monologues, because I will never not love the way Jackie Hoffman delivered them.

And the character was written in the first place for Baltimore's famous drag queen, Divine, who was a close friend of director John Waters. They preserved the tradition for the musical and the mo

Come From Away seems to be slipping ever so slightly, but wow I still can’t believe they’ve made it this far."
CFA seems to have taken off as a good bridge-and-tunnel show. Relatable story for anyone in the NY metro area (longstanding residents all have a 9/11 connection of one sort or another, even if it
I saw this after the events of the weekend, and it was a beautiful reminder of the goodness within so many people. I wish the happy couple nothing but the best, and a long, happy life with one another!
Scarlet Leigh said: "Same audience, perhaps. But I would not call them direct competition really simply based on ticket prices and making it accessible to audiences. If anything, Moulin Rouge's uncalled for high ticket prices might only HELP Six. People that can't afford to pay $200 to sit in the balcony of Moulin Rouge might be more willing to pay $140 for legit good seats to see Six. BUTMoulinRouge comes with a built in fanbase unlike Six's fanbase because Moulin Rouge

This is where I'm at too, so you're not the only one. Very happy for the creative team/investors/eventual cast for the show and I might give it a shot depending on ticket prices. I
I know he did during previews based on Instagram. He didn't come out when I saw the show last night, but security said he had an interview after the show so that's probably why.
I am starting to get excited about the BCEFA Flea Market coming up, and have been trawling the board for old posts regarding everyone's off the wall finds.
Anyone have any interesting scores from past years? I'm especially interested in things outside of window cards and playbills, as it is always interesting to me what pops up outside of the norm.
My favorite finds last year were a 4 foot tall plexiglass
