Chicago Search For Roxie..  Sep 11 2019, 08:56:23 AM

Tagline: "The people who once cast Jerry Springer as a leading Broadway musical actor now want to discover YOU!!"



Into the Chicago Woods  Sep 6 2019, 08:08:18 AM
I thought this was going to be about Roxie and Velma taking over the woods.

No Bad Seats?  Aug 29 2019, 01:13:27 PM

I'd add the Golden to the list as well--rear mezzanine isn't great simply because of how steep it feels, but it's still a perfectly clear view of the stage.



Best Scene Changes  Aug 28 2019, 03:48:31 PM

Not exactly a scene change since nothing actually changes onstage, but one moment that will always stick with me is in The Pillowman, when it's first revealed that the 3 "walls" of the interrogation room are not actually walls but are scrims and the stories begin being played out behind them.

Apparently there are worse things than cell phone usage in the theatre  Aug 16 2019, 12:55:49 PM

RippedMan said: "At "Oklahoma!' on Tuesday the two ladies behind me kept opening endless wrappers and talking during the entire show. It was so distracting. Every thing elicited a comment. The people around me were getting annoyed as well."

While I understand the reason for it, I think that's unfortunately one of the drawbacks of leaving the house lights on for this revival.  The audience suddenly feels more like they're at a chili cook-off with


Betrayal Previews  Aug 15 2019, 08:11:03 AM
It sounds like there are a lot of partial view seats, whether marked that way or not, and frankly, that's just as much on the director as the theatre. The #1 rule of Directing 101 is you have to adapt to the space you're working in, and if there are that many partial view seats, clearly something needs adjusted in the staging. And I don't care that this is a transfer and was created for a different theatre space--of course the space was different in London, which is why you have to adapt. Oklaho

New Original Musicals By Black Playwrights In The Last 10 Years On Broadway  Aug 12 2019, 10:20:08 AM

YoungSally said: "Look no further than Stew!!

Passing Strange
Total Bent
Family Album (not in NYC)
"

Are we talking about shows only written by black playwrights or composers? Because while Stew is black, Heidi Rodewald, who co-wrote Passing Strange with him, is not. So not sure if that one even technically counts in regards to the original poster's question (although Passing Strange was an amazing, forgotten way too soon show, so I'm glad


Rosie/Gaga lead Funny Girl to reopen the Palace!  Aug 7 2019, 08:15:48 AM

But wait, I thought they were already starring in Rebecca.  Is this running in rep with it?



The  Aug 5 2019, 11:44:51 AM
I think as a society we're having major, major issues distinguishing between what's portrayed on stage and screen and what's portrayed as right on stage and screen. Just because Jared makes a gay joke or Michael dresses as a woman in Tootsie or Sam Rockwell's character says racist things in Three Billboards doesn't mean that the authors are condoning the behavior and saying that it's right. There are allowed to be bad people doing and saying bad things in entertainment without it being wrong to

Fastest Ticket Sell-out?  Aug 5 2019, 09:47:46 AM
I remember when Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick rejoined The Producers, within minutes their entire I believe 8-week run was sold out. And I know their revival of Odd Couple sold out extremely quick as well.

Playbill stopped publishing song lists?  Aug 5 2019, 07:19:46 AM
Like others said, it's entirely up to the production, not Playbill, and it's been happening for quite some time (the first show I remember seeing with no song list was Avenue Q 16 years ago, although I'm sure it happened before that as well). But it does seem like this is becoming more and more common, which is probably why it feels like such a new thing.

This would have been so interesting. It also makes me think of this story I read a while ago about an actress (I don't remember who, or if it was actually an actor) who was in two shows at once across the street from each other?


How did Phantom lose Best Score??  Jul 29 2019, 11:13:58 PM

UncleCharlie said: "I did my doctoral dissertation on this very topic and uncovered a key fact that may explain this. Phantom receivedless votes than the show that won for Best Score.

I know, right?
"

But what about the electoral college votes? Maybe Phantom actually did get more votes.



Miss Saigon Ages Horribly In Era Of #MeToo And Authentic Representation  Jul 29 2019, 06:58:53 PM
Miss Saigon is clearly problematic--from its casting to its stereotypes to its white savior narrative--so there's no argument from me there. But this article seems to be implying that if something happened in a time period that no longer meets our current moral standards, we should just forget about it (or worse, change it). Was Kim 17? Yes. Does that seem creepy now? Yes. But did that happen all the time during the Vietnam War? Absolutely. And some Vietnamese women also married white men for th

Wild Broadway Stories?  Jul 19 2019, 11:36:33 PM

When I saw the '98 Cabaret revival, when the front of the main platform flies out at the end (after the orchestra has left their seats), one of the music stands got caught.  The stand rose with the platform probably about 10 feet before it fell to the ground and shattered.  I'll give the cabaret girls who were walking out underneath it a ton of credit, as they barely broke character while chunks of metal were flying at them.

A Part of It All said: "To many, Alyssa Greene is a canon lesbian POC.

I agree pan rep is important, but many fans are calling for the creation of a new character so that there is no lesbian rep lost in the adaptation.
"

Given that the main character is still a lesbian and is the focal point of the whole story, I don't think there's going to be lesbian representation lost. Changes always happen when things are adapted from one medium to another. Tha
