Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/22/19  Dec 23 2019, 10:51:25 PM

Anyone know why MR dropped over 400k last week? Not that it's performing poorly or anything, it was just an eye-catching dropoff.



Moulin Rouge Cast Christmas?  Dec 20 2019, 09:25:35 PM

OneNJen said: "I don't know the answer to your question, but I did notice something a few weeks ago when looking for tickets.

I wanted to possibly see MR again the last week in Feb., and when I was looking for tickets on ticketmaster there was a note that said during this performance the role of (I forgot if it was Satineor Christian) will not be played by (Aaron Tviet or Karen Olivio). Youmight want to check ticketmaster to see what it says. I had never seen this befo


MEAN GIRLS To Welcome Social Media Star Cameron Dallas For Four Week Run  Dec 20 2019, 03:52:26 AM

Weird role to stunt cast. Aaron has half a song total, basically, and not much in the way of lines (and I say that as someone who really liked Kyle Selig's Aaron when I saw the show). We'll see but I can't imagine this is the kind of stunt cast that'll pack 'em in to the August Wilson.



How old is too old to send fanmail?  Dec 16 2019, 07:46:55 PM

chipsandguacplz said: "I'm 18 and wanted to send fanmail to Kathryn Gallagher in JLP- am I too old to send broadway fanmail/what's an appropriate age?"

I'm 30 and I send short notes to favorite actors who've inspired me or whose performances I particularly enjoyed all the time. My grandmother, before she passed, was still doing it at 83 (and stage dooring sometimes!). There's no age limit on it; as others have said, stay respectful, don't

Isn't another problem that the City building code has protected/preserved so much of the theatre district that renovating a building would be almost impossible?

The designing matches this revival perfectly: dull and uninspired and having no connection to the source material.

Anita’s quintet solo has Bernardo ✅

Merrily we roll along - title?  Dec 9 2019, 02:02:01 AM

joevitus said: "That probably was the question. It seems like I read somewhere that the title was taken from the children's song "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," though I'm not entirely sure that's accurate, as the song has no line with thatphrase.I'm guessing if the songis indeed the inspiration,Kaufman and Hart were making an ironic comparison between "Life if but a dream" and the far from idylliclivestheir protagonists end up living."

...okay they are definitely gunning to be the ones to raise the most money this season. Wow.



Red Bucket Follies Collections  Dec 4 2019, 05:16:56 PM

What did Moulin Rouge end up doing? I saw on Instagram that at at least one show they auctioned off Aaron's bandana from the bows (curious how much that went for).

I read it as a general indictment of stunt casting on Broadway in general.

Six probably has the largest potential to do that since it has a large online following, but that doesn't always translate to sales.

Would Helen Mirren be the finale Queen in the Crown  Nov 21 2019, 11:38:12 PM

Gorlois said: "Hmm... how far do people expect The Crown to go? Season 4 will probably cover a good chunk if not all of the 80’s. Season 5 will probably be about the 90’s and her children’s marital woes. Season 6 could cover the early 2000’s and wrap up a lot of “storylines”— the death of her mother and sister, Charles and Camilla’s marriage, maybe Will meeting Kate and securing the future of the monarchy.
