I second Bright Star, a very underrated show.  

I second Bright Star, a very underrated show.  

A trip to the West End for 2 weeks of theater.  

I was one of the daily followers of Amanda during Nicks illness and unfortunately, his death.  She is, without question, one of the most inspiring and strong women I have ever witnessed.  She let us into her and Nicks journey and she has said she gained strength knowing people were pulling and praying for Nick.  What she might not know is she gave us strength as well, meeting everyday at 6(EST) to sing and dance together to send love to Nick and that helped

With all the rescheduling of shows and the Broadway League dates of reopening, I’m wondering how long are actors in particularly, contractually obligated to stay with a production?  I know there’s not many other productions going on in film or tv, but what if they had other plans for projects in 2021?  Just curious. 

Watching now but something unfulfilling about watching a reading of a play on Zoom.  The content of this play  is certainly quite timely.  It’s also supporting a great cause so it’s all good.  The cast is top notch and they’re doing a great job under the circumstances.  
 

 

It will be interesting to see if they can truly operate with 50% capacity offering only to subscribers.  I would guess (more than a guess) that the majority of their subscribers are older, so even at 50%, would they consider attending?  Time will tell I suppose.  That may become the blueprint for Broadway’s reopening.  Let’s hope that we will all be attending some type of live theater in the spring.  

Very sad.  I remember when his teenaged daughter died many years ago in a car accident.  Terrible to lose 2 children. God bless this family.  

I think it’s more realistic to have a treatment before we have an effective vaccine.  With flu season ahead, I don’t see theatre coming back until next spring and that’s only with a proven treatment.  We will see a decline  of shows that draw an older crowd for a while so the transformation of theatre will probably continue to target younger audiences.  I don’t think that’s new, that’s been the trend for a while. .  

Sadly, it almost mirrors the lack of leadership in the country.  ☹️

I’m so so sad about this.  Like many others, I joined Amanda at 6pm EST almost everyday to Live Your Life.  I truly hoped he would be able to get to the point to see his wife and son again, for both him and for them.  I saw Nick in A Bronx Tale, Bullets and the character we all hated in Waitress, Earl.  He was outstanding in all of them and his music and singing outside of his theater performances was also outstanding.

Rest in Peace, Nick.  You certainly

 Don’t feel that way at all.  I feel the entire cast did a wonderful job.

I really liked Nice Work If You Can Get It a few years back because of many reasons, Gershwin, a fantastic orchestra, great cast and ensemble, comedy, costumes and dancing.  It had all the elements of an old fashioned Broadway musical.  Yes, even an overture.  It’s probably the last show I saw that reminded me of old Broadway.  Probably not the cup of tea of younger fans but I loved it.  

Jarathen hit on many points for me.  I truly dislike the jukebox musicals with the exception of Beautiful and Jersey Boys which I thought were beautifully wrapped in great books as well as great music.  Most of them seem more appropriate for Vegas than Broadway.

I also miss the days when musicals were original works and great new plays were being written and produced specifically for theater.  I can do without the Disney productions and a lot of the pop culture

It’s a shame how they handled this situation.  It’s not like they wouldn’t make the money back and more when Broadway reopens.  I’m glad you finally got your credit.  

Totally agree.  I’ve already had the virus and have the antibody but will still not take the risk because of the behavior (or lack of) my fellow Americans.  People are being way too cavalier about reopening too soon and I don’t trust that people who have not been infected themselves or their loved ones, seem to feel this was overhyped by the media.
