2020 Tony Nominations Thread  Oct 15 2020, 12:17:05 PM

Disappointed Linda Vista was left out of Best Play, but glad Ian Barford was nominated.

Ghostlight website digital sales  May 7 2020, 12:08:32 PM

Ghostlight digital albums are cheaper on their website than on Amazon, so I'm thinking of buying directly from them.  Do digital sales from the website come with a digital booklet, or do they only provide the tracks?

They certainly have in the past. There were digital booklets for Hair, She Loves Me, Great Comet, Newsies, Pippin, Hunchback, Brigadoon and on and on. There just isn't a digital booklet for this one.

Their releases from the last year (Beetlejuice, Kiss Me Kate, Alice by Heart

Or watch the movie. Or both! There's all the time in the world for the next few months.

I've seen the movie many times, but I don't know what changes have been made.  Ramases' wife is a character in this musical and has her own song, but I don't know anything about it.

It's a moot point anyway since, after looking at


West End Prince of Egypt  Apr 3 2020, 01:22:22 PM

I've been hoping for a Prince of Egypt musical for a long time, so I'll pick this album up sometime, but I'll wait to see if they add a digital booklet so I can have a synopsis.

Any thoughts on last night?

The Inheritance - Previews  Dec 13 2019, 04:37:23 PM

I'm seeing Part One tonight and Part Two Sunday night.

I recall people saying the text has had at least some revisions for Broadway. Were they anything substantial? I ask in the event I like the play and want to buy the script, which makes me question whether a revised version will be published later on.


A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Preview Thread  Nov 20 2019, 12:26:49 PM

I'd been looking forward to this play for weeks, and after seeing it last night I am of two minds about it. As I expected, Matthew Warchus and his Matilda/Groundhog Day design team have created a striking physical and environmental production. What I did not expect were the story deviations Jack Thorne's script has taken. I did find some of them interesting, but I think I'd have to see the play again with the changes already in mind to fully evaluate the play. To others who have s

Tony Voter Exclusives  Aug 16 2019, 12:15:10 AM

What voter exclusives were sent this year? I've gotten a Tootsie script from eBay, and I saw a Mockingbird program in a thrift store.  I'm most interested in whether Gary sent out a script.

FRANKIE AND JOHNNY rush  Jun 11 2019, 11:29:21 AM

Has anyone gotten rush for this play? How many people show up, and what seats have you received?

 

EDIT: Never mind. I found the earlier thread, which did not appear in my earlier search for some reason.

2019 Tony Award Nominations and Snubs  Apr 30 2019, 08:56:17 AM

I'm happy Andy Grotelueschen is nominated for his charming performance, and I'm happy Patrick Page finally has a nomination after years of solid performances..

Laura Osnes?  Apr 21 2019, 11:08:46 AM

Think she'll ever do something that isn't a period piece?

THE BAND'S VISIT sets closing  Apr 7 2019, 06:56:15 PM

It was a lovely performance. The audience was loving but respectful. While there was more and longer applause and cheering than usual, the audience did not make it about themselves. The cast brought their best today. Everyone was superb. They all maintained their cool and concentrated on giving another great performance. It looked like Katrina's eyes were watering as she said her final line. The concert at the curtain call was great, maybe longer than usual. No speeches, but the company a

Gary: A Sequel To Titus Andronicus Previews  Mar 16 2019, 05:36:19 PM

I saw the matinee and quizking101 pretty much had the same thoughts as I.  I'd like to add some warning for people seeking rush.  I sat in C13, and the partial view here meant missing anything Nathan Lane did on stage right (which judging from the sound and the laughter was physical humor with the corpses).  I definitely felt a little cheated by that, so I may see it again if I can get a more centered view.

I like your way of thinking!
