Broadway, Off-Broadway, West End  Aug 23 2019, 12:17:00 PM
I looove local theater. I live in Philly so I use to think there was nothing here but man I was wrong. Probably my favorite production hands down was this theater called Theater Horizon's production of The Color Purple. I went into it completely blind too so it was even more fun, as now that is one of my favorite shows of all time. Another good theater is the Walnut Street Theater. So much history there too, that alone is almost worth the price of admission.

West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 23 2019, 12:01:04 PM
People outside the Broadway community will probably not care about Amar, very true, but I don't think people will then flock to this re-imagining of a classic. Like with the current OK!, they will want to see the WSS they know and love, which this will be very different from. Maybe it could get people in seats if it gets great press and wins awards like OK!, but this season is hot with revivals (Company and Caroline), so it's going to be hard for this to be a hit. The Amar backlash is just anoth

They are, as DateMe is in the Downstairs theater and Little Shop is in the Upstairs theater. 



Moulin Rouge **Pre-Show Spoiler Request**  Aug 22 2019, 09:17:13 PM

There was just a thread about this a few days ago, it's a great read if anyone is curious about any pre-show/during intermission interactions the cast had/has with the audience. I just adore it when shows do this.

West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 22 2019, 07:32:03 PM

Here are better pictures of the marquee, which I feel weird about as I have to tilt my head to read it. Very odd choice imo

West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 22 2019, 07:13:19 PM

CATSNYrevival said: "No pictures yet?"

I think BWW will post officially about it tomorrow, so I think OP just meant anyone passing by the theater (as they are just putting it up I think). I can only find one person on social media showing off the new marquee, but it doesn't show the whole thing. It seems to be exactly like the online marketing, which seems cool, but isn't even the cast. Much of it were models meant for marketing before the cast was announ

Pose2 said: "I have a thought. If they think ignoring all the complaints and disabling comments on their IG post regarding Amar's casting will help people forget his behavior, they are sorely mistaken."

I'm really curious how his casting is going to effect the show. I mean I had interest in the show before he was cast, but now I'm avoiding the show as much as I can. Maybe I'm in the minority and people will still see the show nevertheless, I don&#

SweetLips22 said: "I'm a Groff geek but it's fairly easy to disguise handsome with a brown colours, a cardigan, glasses, a change of hairstyle and the way he will act, mannerisms etc. He will look total nerd until he does the naked scene."

Agreed, it is very much the mannerisms and the clothes that make Seymour the character he is. Looking up footage of Gyllenhaal, he actually does a lot with the character, even as Gyllenhaal is considerably at


Phantom ticket 'scam'?  Aug 22 2019, 04:56:13 PM

So in theory, a show could sell a single $1 in the very back of the theater for a single night with ever new block of tickets and be able to blaster "$1 ticket available" on their advertising? Sounds like an episode of "Nathan For You"



Phantom ticket 'scam'?  Aug 22 2019, 04:46:09 PM

I've noticed this too, it seems like they have probably a very limited number of seats for $29 that sell out quickly. Still it's very misleading to keep advertising this when there is almost never a time when those tickets are available. It's not like Phantom needs extra marketing either so I've always been confused on why they would have this. 



Tootsie Question  Aug 22 2019, 04:43:26 PM

EllieRose2 said: "Tootsie is doing fine (look at the numbers for all the garbage shows that just closed), Tootsie has performed better than them(obviously), so no, it's not closing in September."

Are you looking at the same graph because it's been doing just as bad (looking at their potential growth) as the other bottom shows since the beginning of July. The show has also been on a spiral at the same time as many shows peak for the summer. I think T


Ivo Van Hove to direct stage adaptation of The Shining  Aug 22 2019, 02:56:42 PM

CATSNYrevival said: "Horror can work on stage when done correctly. Phantom is mostly high romance and pageantry but it still has elements of horror and like Phantom The Woman in Black has been playing in the West End for eons."

This has been mentioned in threads before, but it seems like horror works better for folks in the West End than Broadway. This could have be successful across the pond, but if it transfers, it might not find the same audience. 



Little Shop Extending?  Aug 21 2019, 11:36:01 PM

With the current cast? I highly doubt it. But with new leads (maybe even Glick taking over after Groff), possibly? I would give it a 50/50 either way. The marketing really hasn't been emphasizing the closing date (Most would having something to the effect of "Only Playing for X Weeks".), and the Westside has held productions for awhile at times, so I don't think it's completely off the table. Hopefully by the time Glick takes over the show for the 2 weeks in Nov, we

Jonathan Groff Alternate for Little Shop?  Aug 21 2019, 09:48:29 PM

Pose2 said: "^ It's a bit expensive for Off Broadway, actually^"

I mean, this is not a usual off-Broadway cast. From the marketing, they seemed to have had the idea to maybe bring this to a Broadway house, but wanted to respect the original show (and/or knew the show works best in a more intimate space). With three names above the title, I feel lucky I got seats under a $100 each honestly.



Filming at What the Constitution Means to Me?  Aug 21 2019, 09:41:35 PM

They did record the last two shows according to dangeresque49 here

And since Birbiglia has already a few specials with Netflix, I don't see why they would have recorded his last few specials

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Michael Parkin DEH is the most extreme version of this"

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.

nasty_khakis said: "Do we think this has a chance of extending with Gideon returning? I figure Groff and Borle would be the ones who wouldn't/couldn't extend."

I think it depends on if Gideon is leaving TKAM after joining Little Shop. I could see that, but how long is the main cast of Mockingbird staying? I know Harris is replacing Daniels in Nov, but has any other cast members been rumored to leaving soon?



Jonathan Groff Alternate for Little Shop?  Aug 21 2019, 11:49:36 AM
Out of all the names, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Glick beforehand in this thread. Seems like a fantastic choice and has me counting down till Nov!
