The Prom sounds like your best bet! If you're unfamiliar:
The Prom tells the story of an Indiana high schooler barred from bringing her girlfriend to the prom—and the group of eccentric Broadway folk who infiltrate the town in an earnest, misguided attempt to fight the injustice. (Playbill)
The show is basically just a huge, wholehearted Broadway spectacle. IMO the music is really upbeat and catchy, and it's really really funny. It's probably one
Maybe I'm thinking out of my ass but I can definitely see BMC getting a costume nomination. Some of the party scene costumes and outfits are absolutely wild. Very reminiscent of Spongebob.
I still think Cher will take the Tony either way though.
SomethingPeculiar said: "Actually, if Karl (and Orfeh) wanted to do 6 months in London, I bet the producers wouldpony up the money since he's an Olivier Award winner."
I'm probably thinking out of my ass, but I remember reading somewhere that Groundhog Day was going back to Europe, and that Karl was going to reprise his role as Phil Connors in a few years time.
"Be More Chill is not an original musical, it was based on a book by authorNed Vizzini"
It's original enough. I'm not saying I particularly like it, but there isn't a whole lot of sci-fi on Broadway. It's a unique version of lots of the stereotypical overwashed high school musicals we're seeing nowadays, Mean Girls and Heathers and Dear Evan Hansen and etc...
It's certainly a bit more unique than Ain't Too Proud is, and
That's fair. I've also thought about Row A Mezzanine, but from what I know it's a pretty intimate show and I had just assumed Orchestra would be better in that regard.
How tall is the stage? Would I be able to see over everything from there?
"Correct. My other half has been wanting to see Aladdin for several years and did not want to see Ferryman. We agreed that if we did Aladdin, we would also do the Ferryman. I REALLY wanted to see The Ferryman, so will gladly see Aladdin if that's what it takes."
Fair enough!
If you have the extra space I'd recommend either Beetlejuice or Hadestown.
So you had to add Aladdin to the list in order to see Ferryman? Can't see one without the other?
The list looks good! I personally wasn't a huge fan of Aladdin but by no means is it a bad show in my opinion. Have fun!

Can Hogan or someone comment on Kiss Me Kate’s numbers? $300,000 does not seem too great at all, but they had nearly every single seat filled. Was it simply because they only did four shows, compared to eight?
If that’s the case then those numbers are just about alright, correct? Roughly $700,000 for eight shows?
I feel like an In The Heights revival would be cool at the Palace.

Do you guys think this show gets a Broadway cast recording in a few months time?
I think realistically it will, as most Broadway musicals do anyways, but the original is such a big part of what got the show to where it is today, I feel like it’d be a bit difficult to market. I hope those producers know what they’re doing.
