Cannot wait to see this . Already have my ticket. Ms. Malone is a dynamo and the supporting cast looks terrific. I think this will be an interesting and respectful adaptation as I get the feeling that the creatives really love the work! The original had a deeply flawed book so anything is an improvement on that.

Pretty good example of how the days of the greats are over. Such a statement would have baff
I was reading the BroadwayWorld Meet the Cast of WSS
They are really taking great pains in the bios to make sure that we know the ethnicity of many of the cast members.
Don't really recall reading such "country/city of origin" in such detail before. Were people challenging this before? Were the producers expecting to be challenged?
Delighted to see such diversity --- just surprised that it is included in the performer's bio.
Oklahoma! dropped about 79K between last week and this week. About 52 percent of gross potential. I think their lowest week yet. I know that this show drops just about every week. My question is: If the show has grossed 16.5 million and was capitalized at 8.5 million does that mean that even with not that great gross potential they have already made a huge amount of money? I am not sure how to interpret these figures. I wonder how they got the figure of 150
"Thus far it has been seen by 151,782 people and has grossed a total of $16.5 million, according to the Broadway League." The article goes on to state that the production and tour were capitalized at 8.5 million.
I find that of interest as most weeks it appears that Oklahoma! hovers at about the half way mark for gross potential. And box office goes down most weeks. But they must be doing
Exclusion order still in effect. Job considered to be successful in that both cranes did what they wanted them to do. The first news reports were hard to decipher . *post edited to reflect new-ish information.
Here is latest update.
Parts of one crane still have to be removed a special way.
My issue is that he said they are doing what R & H wrote. That is the stretch to me. Just like the R&H pop songs (eg "Beautiful Morning to a different tune). Of course perform how and what what you like but don't call it what it isn't.
No..... just.......no. Punk rock? And did "Oklahoma!" really drop??? I know the expression but have never heard it referred to the opening of a Broadway show. #alteredrealitySunday
Quote from BWW.
"The reality is, that in 1943, when [Oklahoma!] dropped, it was punk rock as hell," says leading man Damon Daunno. "It was progressive! I personally thi

That said, there is no reason to believe that they will be unable to load out the show and make the next engagement. The stage door is on the other side of the building on a different street, and there is a through alley were it looks like the loading doors are located, also closer to
But do we know if these are models? Or the actual performers? I would recognize Amar for example. And still no female performers in the main images at least not that I could find. I didn't bother to look at the bios.
Are you sure that Domingo was accused of the terrible act of rape? I have followed this very closely since the news broke and have never seen any mention of that. Sexual harassment is what I have read over a long period of time. But rape seems very extreme as one of the accusations leveled against him.
Interesting to read that even after a statement to the contrary from Peter Gelb --- Placido Domingo who was accused of inappropriate conduct -- was let go from the MET. He sang the dress of the opera "Macbeth" and then no more. I believe he is also suspended from Los Angeles. Also the tenor Vittorio Grigolo was accused of inappropriate behavior which took place in full view of the chorus while on tour in Japan. He has been suspended from the MET and I believe Coven
I just got around to reading my New York magazines.
There is a huge pull out color ad for the upcoming "West Side Story" in the September issue.
All kinds of pull quotes: Ravishing, Brave, Frenetic, Tragic, Astonishing, Lavish, Shattering, Uncanny, Timeless, sacred, and so on. One quote references the "golden age of the 20th century" in describing the show.
Oklahoma! continues its downward trend. Only doing 63% of gross potential if I am reading it right. I wonder what their nut is and if this is changing plans to go to January? Or to tour? Or maybe too soon to tell. I remember that "Carousel' pulled up stakes after downward spiral some months early.

Her tales of working with Ezio Pinza in South Pacificand the sexual harassment she had to endure from him are really quite astounding. Back then, though, they were troupers, for better or worse."
Mary Martin mentions NOTHING of this in her rather candid autobiography. Other than that she adored him. Can you please name yo
