West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 23 2019, 12:14:07 PM

It looks like the cover art you'd see on one of those generic studio recordings of the score that you'd find in a bargain bin. 



How will Frozen 2 affect Frozen Broadway?  Aug 21 2019, 09:50:21 AM

bdn223 said: "Most recent long running non SRO hits have also been bridge and tunnel favorites including Beautiful, Waitress, Come from Away, Jersey Boys, Mean Girls and now Beetlejuice seeming to be theirnewest must see."

While Come from Away's audience is mostly tourists,  I don't understand your "non SRO" reference. The show not only offers standing room,  it's standing room is almost always sold out. 



Are Playbills environmentally friendly?  Aug 19 2019, 02:25:30 PM

joevitus said: "But the damage done by Playbills in comparison to...well, most everything we encounter in our daily lives, makes it a very trivial question."

The week ending 08/11/2019 likely saw 270,326 Playbills distributed on Broadway alone. That doesn't include any other single-performance distribution of Playbills or other programs at other events throughout the city. It also doesn't include Playbills/programs distr


Different shows with similar plots  Aug 19 2019, 01:26:30 PM

Playbill_Trash said: "Waitress and Sweeney Todd are basically the same:

People with troubled past relationships use baking to cope with their feelings. Each pie is inspired by someone they’ve encountered and contains their best qualities, making their business a success.
"

That's a bit of a stretch. The baking in Sweeney Todd is about the disposal of evidence.



Apparently there are worse things than cell phone usage in the theatre  Aug 16 2019, 06:04:01 PM

Bad theater behavior is nothing more than the increasing amount of self-importance from certain individuals in society. You see it everywhere now. People believe that since they are the customer, they can do whatever they want. And since corporate mentality is to grease the squeaky wheel, these people almost always get away with it. No matter the truth of the situation, this type of customer will complain about their "negative" experience, and companies don't like that. I think

You should never assume. He is not the only cast member that will be leaving the show this year.

They used to report the grosses of national tours in Variety, but I don't think they do that anymore. Presumably it did well enough if they want to put it on Broad


Are Playbills environmentally friendly?  Aug 12 2019, 06:21:45 PM

Wee Thomas2 said: "If 500 people don't take them, then that's 1 less box that gets ordered/printed/thrown away (I don't know how many come in a box)"

Playbill actually pays Broadway theaters to distribute Playbills, therefore they provide a capacity's worth amount of Playbills to each theater once or twice per week. A Broadway theater only "orders" Playbills when there isn't enough supply to make it to the next delivery date (it happ


Hamilton vs Harry Potter and the cursed child  Aug 12 2019, 05:52:36 PM

One ticket to Hamilton costs more than both parts to Harry Potter, particularly if you wait until a couple days before the performances to purchase tickets (and that's for the excellent seats).

Harry Potter is definitely a more theatrical experience, one which cannot be easily replicated. Hamilton is pretty basic, no real stagecraft to speak of. 

There are several companies of Hamilton throughout the United States, so if you live outside of New York, there

Plus, they don’t have to pay for sets or development or any of that. And if the Longacre was gonna sit empty anyway, I think it’s not the stupidest idea. Also, another option for families that’s not Disney (and Disney prices) is always welcome. "

Are Playbills environmentally friendly?  Aug 12 2019, 09:56:30 AM

Wee Thomas2 said: "You don't have to take them"

Whether you take one or not,  the same number of Playbills will be printed.

You can return them at the end of the performance

Theaters do not distribute used Playbills. Even if patrons would accept a used one, Playbill would still keep printing the same number of Playbills. So there would be no reduction.

You can recycle them

They will never again be a


Playbill stopped publishing song lists?  Aug 6 2019, 11:13:48 PM

broadwayguy2 said: "First, "anTSy". Second, that is wonderful to admit but perhaps you should work harder on improving yourself and being better rather than expecting an entire industry to meet you where you are by stooping to allow you to "suck:."

Some shows are boring. Being bored doesn't mean you need to improve yourself. 



Seating for shows?  Aug 3 2019, 05:58:37 PM
Front row mezzanine is the ideal location for Phantom.

Roles on Broadway that are not normally wigged?  Aug 3 2019, 05:57:14 PM

TheQuibbler said: "taylortrensch said: "usually unwigged females:hermione granger (hp:tcc)”

Didn’t Noma Dumezweni wear a wig? She has short, closely cropped hair.

Yes. There's a photo in the souvenir program showing her being fitted for her wig prior to a performance. 



Is Jordan Roth the most successful theatre owner?  Aug 3 2019, 05:52:46 PM
Not even close to the success of the Shubert Organization. 4 of the top 5 longest running shows were/are in Shubert-owned houses. The Lion King (no. 3) is in a Nederlander house. None of the top ten longest running shows played in a Jujamcyn-owned house. Seven of the top ten were/are in Shubert houses and thre were/are in Nederlander houses.

In addition to real estate, the Shuberts have a ticketing divide that owns and operates the ticketing services, one which is Telecharge.


Do theaters hold back on certain seats?  Jul 21 2019, 11:04:34 PM
If you are talking about what are commonly referred to as house seats, it varies from show to show. And no, you can't compare touring houses to Broadway theaters. On Broadway, it's the show's producers that determine which seats will be available, how many are available, and how they are distributed. Touring houses will have their own seats that they've designated, since they are the ones selling the tickets.

If you mean do shows hold back large swaths of tickets to sell closer to perf


Somebody took a flash photo of Audra and Michael's nude scene today  Jul 21 2019, 10:46:29 PM

TotallyEffed said: "I assume the ushers did absolutely nothing, as usual. Not cool, indeed."

What are they supposed to do? Contrary to popular belief, the ushers are often unable to locate these offenders because the phone/camera may be out of their sight. Also,  many producers don't want the ushers disrupting the other people by enforcing the rules during a performance.  And finally, according to the usher's union, usher's a


CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Jul 19 2019, 01:08:52 AM

That’s already been done and released on DVD years ago.

But I think that's the point. What is this film's purpose,  other than giving us creepy cat-like humanoids?

The show is performing much better than expected. 



Has Wicked Been Updated Over the Years?  Jul 18 2019, 11:14:41 AM

Tag said: "Elphaba's mother and the young wizard, re-appear at the end of the show ("have another drink of green elixer". They only used to do so in the opening/prologue."

That's definitely one of the better changes.
