At the end of the day, theatre is a business. Just like any other business. Just because it's entertainment or supposed to be opening people up to the arts or whatever else, it's still a business. The business owners set a price based on market demand. If you can and want to pay that price to see it? Great, you get to see it. If you can't or don't want to, then sorry, but you don't get to. No one owes you a free copy of the show just because you can't or don't want to pay what they're charging.

Worst Broadway Show of the Decade?  Dec 22 2019, 03:19:20 PM
Not on there, but Soul Doctor. Hands down worst Broadway show I've ever seen and in the running for worst show I've ever seen period. Any show that includes a moment where the leader of a synagogue gets fired and another character comments "And another rabbi gets nailed" instantly moves to the top of the list.

It's not just about the performers, though.  The music, the staging, the design elements are all protected material.  Any composer, director, orchestrator, book writer, designer, etc. has a right to not have their materials shared for free on YouTube or social media.<


Fun  Dec 18 2019, 10:16:43 AM
I'll add my vote to the Hal Prince exhibit as well as Lincoln Center (if you can do a tour, it's a really great experience; even if not, just walking around and seeing the Beaumont, the Met, etc. is great).

Also, not so much theatre-related, but if you're interested in film history and seeing artifacts from classic movies, the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria is one of the most underrated attractions in NYC. (And yes, it's Queens, but it's only about a 15-minute subway ride from Ti


College cancels ADDING MACHINE musical for being too  Dec 3 2019, 09:54:34 PM

The Distinctive Baritone said: "In fairness, this is true. It’s not Carnegie Mellon or U. Mich, but its BFA musical theatre program is relatively well know and respected. Just slightly less respected by me right now...and hopefully other people who find the only truly “disturbing” thing to be the behavior of some of these students and the faculty members and administrators who bent to their misguided mob mentality."

Oh, absolutely less respected now

Unlike the far right, the far left is not dangerous...just sometimes pretty annoying in their amazing ability to find offense in almost anything and then “cancel” it (literally or figuratively)...even a brilliant, socially conscious musical."

Fair enough. I share your annoyance. I just think the cancellation of a play by a virtually unknown college can't be compared to running


College cancels ADDING MACHINE musical for being too  Dec 1 2019, 12:07:23 AM
So exactly why are these kids pursuing a degree in theatre if they're unwilling to be challenged to confront things that make them even slightly uncomfortable? I mean, I'm not passing judgment here on anyone for being disturbed by something and not wanting to do it. But what exactly do they think they're going to be able to make a career out of if Adding Machine and Parade are too disturbing to be a part of? Sorry, but that should be a clear sign you've picked the wrong profession.

Freestyle Love Supreme After Sound Inside or Moulin Rouge?  Nov 8 2019, 12:48:49 PM
I'd vote after Moulin Rouge for sure. Trying to walk from Studio 54 to the Booth in 20 minutes on an empty street? Very doable. Trying to walk from Studio 54 to the Booth in 20 minutes at 9:40 on a Saturday night in the heart of Times Square? Still doable, but you're going to be way more rushed and stressed and having to push a lot more people out of the way. But as others have pointed out, even if Moulin Rouge happens to go until 9:50 for some reason, you'll still have plenty of time.

New York Theater Quiz for October 2019  Nov 3 2019, 09:51:14 PM

You're right, Broadway61.It doesn't change the answer luckily, but I've reworded the question. Thanks for your eagle eye and elephant memory.

You got it! Great quiz, regardless! Always enjoy them!



New York Theater Quiz for October 2019  Nov 3 2019, 07:28:29 PM
Great quiz as always, but I'm pretty sure part of the question of #4 is wrong. Not trying to spoil the quiz, but one of them only made their Bway debut 7 years ago (they've been in a show that's been on for more than 20 years, but their debut was within the last 10 years).

Not Nominated / Should Have Won  Oct 30 2019, 10:07:28 AM

I second Johnny Lee Miller in Ink, although I can't 100% say he should have won since I didn't see Network.  But definitely should have at least been nominated.

I also felt they awarded the wrong Oslo performance--Michael Aranov was good, but I felt Anthony Azizi was even stronger and yet wasn't even nominated.

I'd hardly say that Moulin Rouge is a juggernaut, though. At the box office, perhaps, but critically it was very mixed and it seems that most of the audiences loving it aren't made up of your typical Tony voters.

2019 thanksgiving parade broadway performances  Oct 25 2019, 12:53:46 PM

I would guess Tina and Ain't Too Proud will perform, both for their own notoriety and because the parade will try to get them since they figure more well-known songs will boost their viewership.

That's just an announcement for the Seattle run.  Still nothing about when it may or may not transfer.



Rialto Chatter: Will MRS. DOUBTFIRE Musical Land on Broadway Next Year?  Oct 11 2019, 12:16:17 PM
Would not at all be surprised if it does land this season, but also kind of feel like this may end up being next summer or fall instead. A lot will likely depend on if they feel they need to rework much from the out of town tryout, but also 1) they may want to wait for Tootsie to close (there obviously are a ton of differences in the stories, but they're both still 80s or early 90s comedies about an actor dressing in drag while living a double life) and 2) the best musical race is actually start
