HERCULES to Play the Public Theatre this summer!!  Sep 5 2019, 12:43:59 AM

Ahh congrats! I would have gone in person if I could have gotten out of work, haha.

LOL that’s exactly why I went today. I’ve been avoiding the other drawings just cause I’m a good 40+ minutes away from Manhattan but I had the day off today and I figured other people would be in work/school so I went down. It was still PACKED downtown, though I’m sure not as packed as the lotteries over the weekend were. They have out an insane amount of ticket


HERCULES to Play the Public Theatre this summer!!  Sep 4 2019, 12:13:41 PM
Just won two tickets from the in-person lottery. Currently losing my sh*t outside of the Public.

Mistakes on cast albums  Aug 25 2019, 11:23:22 PM
Not a cast recording per se, but in the proshot of Jekyll and Hyde, during “Alive (Reprise)”, Hasselhoff sings the words “What a feeling of be so alive” as he pours Holy Water (?) on the Bishop.
Honestly, Hasselhoffs performance in that song is so bad that it might as well be considered a mistake in itself.


Jonathan Groff Alternate for Little Shop?  Aug 16 2019, 01:11:00 PM
Chris Dwan just confirmed he is Groff and Borles understudy. Not entirely sure if that means he will be Groffs alternate as well.

Songs That Sound An Awful Lot Like Other Songs  Jun 23 2019, 10:51:34 PM
A little off-topic because it’s an entire show rather than just a song, but the plot of Hadestown is almost identical to the first act of the obscure Schmidt/Jones flop “Celebration” (which, in my opinion, is severely ahead of its time and is due for a revival while Jones is still around to possibly make some revisions to the book).

Thoughts on Back to the Future The Musical?  Jun 12 2019, 12:48:22 AM

I... Really don't like that song. It fits the sound of Back to the Future very well, but something about it just seems so... Off to me. Other people have pointed out the shoddy lyrics but honestly I think it's something other than that as well.

I'm usually fine with musicals adapted from movies (especially in comparison to other people on this board) but damn I really don't have any interest in this show. And Back to the Future is my favorite movie, so that's saying


Ferryman Extends!  Jun 12 2019, 12:42:07 AM

Seeing this thread pop up made me very excited for a moment

I only moved to New York last year, and had seen maybe about only 10 Broadway shows prior to that, so I don't have a huge amount of live theatre I've seen, but I already feel like Ferryman is going to be one of those plays that I remember seeing for the rest of my life. Saw it with the original cast (on second preview, no less) and the ori


Shorts in the theater  Jun 11 2019, 03:29:55 PM
The short answer? Yes, at least in my opinion.
HOWEVER, I DID get lottery tickets to see Burn This a few weeks ago, and didn’t have time to go home and change into a more formal outfit before the show (was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt while visiting a friend in the city- did NOT want to make an hour train ride there and back just to throw on some khakis). While I’m sure it was fine I did feel woefully underdressed the entire time.


Tootsie controversy  Jun 11 2019, 12:14:01 AM

Pose2 said: "FlyHigh, I wonder that as well. These kids spend their entire day mad and offended by everything, and they put all their feelings and emotions on social media. If they are offended by it, they think no one else should get to experience it. Everyone gets a platform, and it's so obnoxious. Do they ever experience joy or happiness?

To all Gen Zoffended by everything, please answer this question, thank you!
"

Hi! Gen Z here. Happy to answer you


2019 Tony Snubs  Jun 10 2019, 12:27:40 AM
Nothing really surprised me this year! Which I guess was both a good and a bad thing (made for a slightly less exciting night, but also means that I think what needed to be rewarded was rewarded).

That said, I don’t think I can point to any real snubs. There were a few where the person I was rooting for didn’t win, but I felt that the winner was still a strong and valid choice. I was rooting for Amber to win Best Supporting; however, Ali Stroker still definitely deserved the role as wel


What were your biggest theatrical disappointments of the season...  Jun 6 2019, 11:24:23 PM
What I saw this season (on Broadway; off is a whole different conversation):
-Straight White Men
-Spongebob
-The Ferryman
-Torch Song
-The Play That Goes Wrong
-The Waverly Gallery
-Hillary and Clinton
-Hadestown
-Burn This
-Oklahoma

I’m not gonna comment on Spongebob and Play because those are from past seasons (though I will say... I may be in the minority but the schtick of Play That Goes Wrong got old REAL quick for me).

The biggest


Public Theater 2019-2020  Jun 6 2019, 06:51:14 PM
LOVE this season! Excited especially for Soft Power and Bright Room.

Ferryman vs Oklahoma  Jun 6 2019, 12:33:38 PM
I’d definitely go for Ferryman. Personal preference of plays over musicals aside, I found The Ferryman to be one of the most thrilling nights of theatre I’ve experienced in my (admittedly pretty short) life. I loved Oklahoma too, but at the very least that’s running through January with the possibility to be extended further, so you could potentially see that on another trip.

Social media policy  Jun 6 2019, 12:12:17 PM
I work with a theatre company that very obviously isn’t Broadway-sized (it’s also non-equity), and we’ve had to crack down on social media usage a lot during our past few productions. A lot of it came from the fact that cast members were using incomplete and unfinished aspects of the show to promote it (i.e. videos of newly-learned choreography, videos taken during rehearsals, etc.). The biggest problem we had was when cast members shared videos of the Act One finale of one of our productions- w
