I have taken a backpack to every show I have seen in the last five plus years. The only issue I've ever encountered was when a security guard insisted I throw out or donate my unopened bag of naked cashews at The Color Purple. I have also found that taking outside beverages inside are fine as long as they are in a canteen, and not a plastic water bottle.
Yeah, this category is not one of suspense. Glenda is winning. There is no viable alternative. She didn't bother to show up at the Oscars either time she won, but something tells me at this point in her career, she'll be attending the Tony Awards. Although, If she never cared about awards before, why would today be any different?

The production at Park Avenue Armory was the most thrilling experience for me as a theatregoer. I was absolutely gobsmacked as I exited the venue. It was such a perfect production, that I hope it doesn’t transfer to Broadway. Some aspects of the production design would need to be reworked for a traditional NY theatre, I believe.

Good god, what a theatrical experience. Each moment was perfection. The cast was uniformly excellent, especially Billie Piper. That performance will haunt me. The final moments had me simultaneously holding my breath and resisting the urge to throw up.

My partner and I just purchased seats using LincTix after reading this post.

Entertainment Weekly says it doesn’t work, leads are miscast, and the material doesn’t fly in this era. C!
The woman is a legend, no doubt. But at what point do you finally say "shut up?" Patti has had a long, celebrated career; one that many can only dream of. Nothing has ever been enough for her. She has every right to speak her mind, but over the last few years, these statements have become more and more vitriolic.
I cannot imagine anything less exciting than Barbra in this production.

I actually said “wow” as I read Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ name. She would be absolutely perfect.
I’m thinking it is Reba. Her name is the one I am hearing the most. She is performing in Vegas through the summer, though, so she wouldn’t come in before early fall.

I cannot speak as to what exactly happened, but the original company and Angela did not get along well. She was most likely asked and declined.
MR had his moment in the sun. He loved being “right” about Peters in the role.
Truth be told, the sh*t was hitting the fan in the rehearsal room, and by the first preview, the production had its work cut out for it. Laurents was up in arms regarding just about everything. Reading his account of the ordeal, no one did anything correctly because he was not directing. Everything from the costumes to the sets was an issue. Arthur says that Bernadette eventually went on to f
