It's Sound of Music. Thanks to that show, specifically "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favorite Things," Sound of Mus

Extreme sidenote for this, but I had honestly assumed he has left the show so long ago, so it was very odd to see him in Stranger Things and then a few weeks later saying he's leaving DEH."
I got to see him and JLT's last day. It was very strange, seeing them in the roles they created, while the rest of the cast
Carmen Cusack, Tony Yazbeck & Harry Hadden-Paton to Headline New Broadway Musical Flying Over Sunset At Lincoln Center Aug 20

So excited for Harry Hadden-Paton! I got to see him in My Fair Lady, and he was excellent. And I love Carmen from the Bright Star soundtrack. With all these announcements, you gotta imagine Company will have to announce soon. Also, if this is nominated for Best Musical, would it be the first Vivian Beaumont musical since Contact?
I saw Melissa Benoist in Beautiful and she was excellent - she had a really clear voice that worked perfectly for the part. I also got to see Sara Bareilles and Gavin Creel in Waitress, which was incredible (although that one isn't as much stunt-casting as it is songwriter-casting). My parents got to see Reba McEntire as Annie in Annie Get Your Gun, and it's still one of their favorite theatre memories. I guess it depends on how the person does in the role - the
That's awesome! Any idea how long the run will last? The Playbill website doesn't give a closing date, and I know most shows at Studio 54 don't stay long.
Be More Chill is very similar to Little Shop of Horrors, besides the ending - they're both different adaptations of Faust, I believe. The nerdy, unpopular protagonist tries to get the girl through an influential, charismatic villain with unintended consequences.
Literally, what other Broadway show has ever had the ability to take up more than 10 minutes of late-night television, let alone a whole hour?
The only other person who gives decent airtime to Broadway shows in that slot is Seth Meyers"
Stephen Colbert has been pretty good with inviting Broadway actors to come and perform/be interviewed. He's had both leads from Great Comet, half the cast of Hamilton (includin
TheGingerBreadMan said: "Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Anthony Rosenthal did 8 shows a week in Falsettos. (Though the role was split between two young actors for the tour.)"
So did Sarah Charles Lewis in Tuck Everlasting - I remember reading that her understudy never got to go on as Winnie Foster.
So heartbroken about Andrew's mom - she seemed like a wonderful woman.
On Good Morning America today, Reeve Carney announced that Hadestown will begin a national tour in fall of 2020! Any theaters you think the show could visit, casting for the tour, etc?

1. But exactly where does Lightning fit in with this? All BMC fans will automatically be Lightning fans?

Except it's based on a book."
And they've specifically tried to distance themselves from the movie, and have the approval of Rick Riordan, the original author, and there's a new Rick Riordan book coming out a few days after previews begin. This could be pretty big if th
Hi! A few days ago, I put up a thread about people's favorite "last performance" experiences, be it for a show they liked or a specific performer who was leaving. Stories about both BMC and The Prom are in the thread, and I would suggest you check it out!

Itaveraged82% capacity during it's run, which isn't bad but certainly doesn't qualify as a sold-out run."
I think they were talking about BMC's off-Broadway run at Signature Theatre, which, if I remember correctly, sold out really quickly. A friend of mine had wanted to get
If we want to talk about the Prom vs. BMC, let's keep that on another thread. While the conversation is, of course, valuable, it's not what this thread is about.
