Maybe someone here will remember what article I’m talking about, but a few years ago I remember reading a piece where a group of industry people formulated a list of the greatest musicals ever written (on paper). I don’t remember where Gypsy landed on the list— I believe it was # 3, IIRC— with Guys and Dolls taking the #1 spot, Fiddler at # 2, and WSS was, I believe, #4 ( which was lower than many anticipated, but Laurent’s cheesy Jett dialogue knocked it do
MadsonMelo said: "No mentions for Butz? I thought he was going to be a favorite to win Featured Actor."
^ There were a few positive mentions about Butz in the reviews I read. Sara Holdren had some nice things to say about his performance, just not the gushing love letters she gave Ambrose and HPP. Speaking of, I’m really loving Holdren’s reviews for Vulture. A director and recent graduate of Yale School of Dra
Broadway Play Publishing— they don’t handle any musicals, but they have all of Tony Kushner’s plays, and I believe all of Neil LaBute’s as well; plus lots of Jose Rivera, Emily Mann, etc.

Lesser known/produced musicals I’m a fan of are: The Adding Machine, Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story, The Hatpin, Yeast Nation, Is There Life After High School, Bernarda Alba, See What I Wanna See, Marie Christine (So many LaChiusa, really...).
It should not be as expensive as some have said. Dramatists has the most affordable rights of any of the major rights holders. They will charge you a royalty fee based on number of performances, average ticket price, and number of seats in the venue and charge based on how much your potential gross is; Plus a refundable deposit for the libretto and band scores. Three performances in a 30 seat space would most likely be under 2,000. I’d guess closer to the 1,000-1,200 range (excluding de

Are there any rumors floating around as to who’s going to be Judas? I know people have mentioned Adam Lambert but then others would remind them that he’s currently touring with Queen. However, Queen has no tour dates scheduled between March 17 and April 6...... which makes me wonder if this could be why? I want to know if there was ever any shows scheduled during that time frame and that changed somewhat recently..... Which could be very telling.
a broadway show with a 6 word title? Dec 23

May I ask why you’re trying to find this out? I assumed it was for a crossword puzzle and was going to suggest checking your other answers, but if it’s anywhere from 5-7 words that must not be it.... I’ve been using “in the” and starting “The” as the point of reference, but the full 7 word title including the “and” makes me assume that the show doesn’t exist, or it’s a rarely produced show that is only done by schools and has never had a professional production mounted.

I can’t think of anything exactly as you’re describing but the closest I can come up with are Sunday in the Park as suggested above or possibly The Happiest Girl in the World?
GREASE went through extensive changes between the original Chicago production at the Kingston Mines Nightclub before transferring to New York— with a complete overhaul of the score; elimination of the Chicago references; and opting for a completely toned down musical, going from an “R-rated” profane play with Music illiciting shock-value— to the tame, family friendly musical we’ve come to know.

Very off topic, but I saw a parody production of Annie at the inaugural year of the Chicago Fringe fest that I would consider Theater of the Absurd. It was set in a Futuristic sci-fi world with the orphanage set in a Brothel with Hannigan as a Madame and the orphans were prostitutes. ??
I was introduced at a very young age! When I was 3/4 my mother took me to see the national tours of Peter Pan with Sandy Duncan and The Sound of Music with Marie Osmond (well she was in the first act, she sprained her ankle or something and her standby went on for Act 2). That season my mom also took me to the Nutcracker. Hooked ever since. Took my first acting class at 6; first professional job (in Peter Pan) at 11; started

I'm sure LaDuca would be your best bet. However, LaDuca would also be the most expensive option I would assume. But there is no better dance shoe and worth the price.
