I thought the same thing."
Is this joy happening in a different thread? I'm mostly seeing"Not my favorite show, but I feelfor the cast/crew" sentiments."

Don't a lot of shows that fail to recoup on Broadway make the money back -- albeit slowly -- via tours, licensing, etc? I feel like with a couple of lyric changes, this show could be a steady earner in high school and community theater for a long time. I

Woah -- I did a quick IMDB search, and it's "The Code" on CBS. And I've never seen so many Broadway folks make appaerances in just 8 episodes of television. Here's a list of names I recognize (and I'm sure ther

I get that. But how does closing solve that problem? Forgive me if I'm being dense, but it seems that staying open if you're treading water is the best hope in terms of paying that back. Aside from eventual tour/licensing revenues, and I don't know how those are dole

OK, but do you have any actual knowledge of its weekly running costs? It's averaged $560,000 per week so far in 2019. I've seen it said many times that 50% of poten

They're not "playing the stakes" that way. Those *are* the stakes to the characters. Because they're teenagers. That's what teenagers feel. Maybe you were different, but I think most humans remember at least *once* feeling just like that: that what you're going through has never been endured before. That what&#

The fifth slot isn’t automatic, unless they’ve changed the rule since 2017-2018.
“Where there are nine or more eligible shows in a Best Show category, at the Tony Nominating Meeting, the Nominating Committee will be instructed to cast one vote each for four eligible shows as nominees on his/her secret ballot. Such ballot shall be collected and tabulated by a representative of the Accounting Firm. The four eligible shows with the highest number of votes will automatically be designated a
I'm a little ticked off right now, and wondering if someone can shed some light on the general rules that govern when a seat is labeled "partial view."
I needed to buy a last minute ticket for someone for tonight's performance. Given the general scarcity and last minute nature, I wasn't as careful as I usually am. I just grabbed a seat on Stubhub. It was Orchestra F 16 (last seat on the right). I was texting with her after she arrived and s
Apologies if there's a separate thread for seating questions -- if so, I couldn't find it.
I'm wondering why the last row of the Orchestra Center is only $99----and whether that means you're missing something because of the overhang. Can anyone confirm how much action takes place on upper levels of the set that might be obscured? Thanks!
After seeing Dear Evan Hansen the first time, I said to my wife that Rachel Bay Jones and Michael Park would be a perfect Diana/Dan team for N2N. So that's one half of it....!
With the Prom stabilizing around 50% of potential gross, is it safe to assume they'll stick it out at least until the Tony nominations come out? I'll be in town April 13-20 and am hoping to eek it out.
1) As this show proved....anything can happen leading up to or during a live show. Theoretically that creates headlines and more interest either during the broadcast or for later, for streaming/DVD purposes.
2) Live programming is one of the few areas where the networks still have a clear edge. There are plenty of filmed shows on streaming services, but this is something that's simply different and (so far) ha
Without being privy to advance box office numbers, It seems % of gross potential seems to be the most reliable....and the Prom's is nowhere NEAR as bad as shows that close in a month or two. Granted, 50% for a new show isn't great (whereas an ancient show that's already made money can limp along at 50 for a good while). But it's nowhere near, say, Lysistrata Jones territory, where people should immediately be asking "When will it close?"
I'd *seen* plenty of celebrities, but had never talked to one until I randomly found myself sitting next to Kate Burton at Boys in the Band in July. She was making her visit as a Tony voter. We both happened to be there solo, and we had a very nice chat for 10 or 15 minutes before the curtain.
