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

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

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.

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

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


Rating for Dear Evan Hansen  Jul 8 2019, 04:45:30 PM

MBFan said: "If Dear Evan Hansen was a movie, what would be the rating? Is there a lot of bad language? I want to see if it's appropriate for a young teen. Thx."

Based strictly off of how the MPAA rates movies, it would be R due to language and subject matter. With that said, though, I think most teenagers would be fine seeing it, although it of course depends on each individual teenager.

Hiptix raised their age limit to 40  Jun 28 2019, 01:32:33 PM

BroadwayGuy12 said: "Also worth noting that they raised the price of Hiptix from $25 to $30."

I was gonna say the same thing, about how they seemingly obscured that little tidbit in their announcement.  Don't get me wrong, $30 is still an incredible price to see a Broadway show and they should not at all feel bad about raising it.  Just this announcement seemed like a clever way of saying "Look, we're raising our age limit!

Beetlejuice on Sale thru Jan, 5, 2020!  Jun 28 2019, 09:08:32 AM

Not saying it won't close January 5th, but that's hardly a sign that it's a tentative closing date.  A lot of shows put their tickets on sale for about 6 months in advance, so this is pretty typical.  It may close on January 5th, it may run for 5 years, it may close in 2 months--the on-sale date really doesn't affect that.
