However, with regards to projections: I believe if the projections are a major component to the scenic design, the Tony committee can choose to include the video designers as eligible in the scenic design category. This was the case with both Mean Girls and King Kong."
Not that I think JLP will win set design, but I thought

Gotcha! I bit the bullet and grabbed Jagged Little Pill from the LTC TKTS booth earlier today anyways. Glad I went with that option, I am sure Tina is a perfectly enjoyable show with or without Adrienne, b
So based on what I'm seeing on social, Adrienne was out last night due to her injured ankle, and Kayla Davion made her Tina debut last night.
I'm grabbing stubhub tickets to an evening show tonight, either this or Jagged Little Pill. Do you guys think/have an inkling as to whether or not she'll be on tonight?
Hey guys, so I'll be going up to the city tomorrow for a day or two, this will be my fourth time and based on the way my flights got put together I'll have time to see two shows on Thursday afternoon/evening. To fill the downtime, I'm looking for some more (perhaps theatre-oriented) activities to do around the theatre district. Like I mentioned, It'll be my fourth time there, and as much as I love sightseeing and checking out all the big theaters and marquees I am just looking

Trying new jokes makes sense to me, but having seen it on Broadway almost a year ago, and having seen the tour 3x last month, the lyric and music changes don’t make that much of an impact to justify the tampering. Little things like the cake lyric are fine because a lot of people took issue with a joke out eating disorders, but the rewrites to “It Roars&

Of course, we don't now whats going to happen with the upcoming shows- though they are using houses smaller than the Winter Garden, maybe there will be an unexpected closing freeing up a theatre Not to jump on the "judge before it opens" bandwagon, but if the West Side Story revival's changes prove unpopular, the Broadway

The castle looks so much more colorful, I love it! Kind of bummed that they really had to scale down the bridge but I suppose that makes sense. Oh well.

I have never found any of David Korins set designs to be "phoned-in"... David Rockwell, on the other hand, is hit or miss, but his design for Pretty Woman and Tootsie last season were pretty darn bad. Hard to believe that he's the same designer behind the GORGEOUS set for the She Loves Me revival..."

This is just a guess, but it seems they want to see if the show has a life outside of Groff. If Glick can pull in some more sales, I could see this extending or even turning into an open run (or maybe that is just my hopes)."
I hope so, I'm back in the city March 21-30 and this would be the per

A friend of mine was there the night of the show, and she said in the beginning of the show, her mic cut out and that’s when she said “I can’t hear anything.” She then APOLOGIZED TO THE AUDIENCE. She then performed the rest of the show with like she usuall

From what I'm seeing, she also unfollowed the Mean Girls instagram account. Not trying to jump the gun and say that she is absolutely quitting the show or that this would be a good way of knowing that, as it's pretty subjective... but yeah it does seem like that might insinuate that she is preparing t
Agree with most of what is being said here. As far as the score goes, I don't think it's the show's biggest pull at all, and to be fair, it's clearly not what the marketing agency was focusing on (rightfully so)- their entire marketing strategy encapsulated the notion that "This is the funniest new musical in years!", which is of course the most subjective argument ever, and compared to the many other musicals who are also regularly&n
Is there another thread on this that I am missing? Feel like I've heard literally no one talk about this show. Didn't even realize it was coming into the Vivian Beaumont this March. Hooray for another original score!
barcelona20 said: "The question is, is it worth seeing the tour, even for $25, or should we just wait for the OBC Nickelodeon TV special?"
If it were me, I’d pay the $25.00 just to get the opportunity to compare them at such a cheap price. This is coming from someone who didn’t get the chance to see Broadway.
I saw the first performance of the tour in Austin last Tuesday, and I enjoyed it. The show is extremely contemporary, but I thought the design suited it well and it felt like it had a lot going for it. As Lot666 mentioned, I am also not sure why one would be expecting a minimalist, gritty version of Jesus Christ Superstar to dawn costumes that may be considered period attire. The choreography is super reminiscent of King Kong (considering they were both done b
