I think the moral of this thread may be:

Sharing=good

Starting a new thread  to share it=no bueno.

Blue Collar Guy is: Todd Horman

Broadway Credits: MFL, Last Ship, Priscilla, Phantom, Urinetown (and lots off and out) 

South Florida said: "Hogan'sHeroes was a funny show and you always bring some intelligence into this board, but do you know what a dick Bob Crane was?"

Yes I do. I've actually addressed this before. That pic is of Robert Hogan (also the name of a very fine actor) not Bob Crane. Crane is nobody's hero.

Jordan Catalano said: "I know you don’t think anything can happen until 2027 at the earliest but I’m hoping for the best. *shrugs*"

Is hyperbole a covid symptom? Since Spring '20 I have been saying I thought Fall '21. I still am and I am hoping for that ("the best". What the major UK theatre producers have been doing since then is disgraceful.

"They" don't have any information that you and I don't have, and even epidemiologists can do no more than "hope for the best." I am very optimistic but not for these dates. We are now getting reports of defective vaccines,

itsjustmejonhotmailcom said: "I think it's telling that the press release (when the byline is "BWW News Desk" it is usually a press release reprinted verbatim) starts with the name of the Producer, who's office (or press rep) was directed to do that. Legit shows rarely put out a press release about a developmental reading. And rarely start press releases with their names mentioned before the creators or creatives."

It is also a good idea that, where

Tag said: "Remember when everyone here said Laura would never work again! Maybe Chad Kimball should join this project?"

I don't remember anyone here saying that about her. In fact, what I remember when the subject of her politics came up, I pointed out that she has been working all year in one of the cliqueiest corners of Broadway, 54 Below, and there was no indication that folks were shunning people just for being republican. Kimball, on the other hand and as ha

It is so so sad. She was taken from us while still so vital. I think I was most touched by what Chita wrote, and her saying that she had just received the annual poinsettia from Annie. It's like her spirit can live on in a living thing.

plus there is really nothing teased that people would say "I've never heard of anything like that before." Without spilling the names (and I am not saying he should), what he has written is a waste of bandwidth.

Fosse76 said: "While producers may request a specific theatre for their show, it is the landlord that will ultimately decide, prior to execution of the licensing agreement. Part of the agreement, however, is that the show remains in the licensed theatre for the run of show. So a producer can't simply decide to move. If they move, it's because the landlord agrees it's at the end of it's run in that space. There are a lot of scenarios at play, but ultimately it's be

CATSNYrevival said: "Because they get kicked out by The Music Man."

that falls within my list

Many other possible reasons, including especially to downsize (or upsize). Note that a show that is not below the stop clause cannot be kicked out and another show cannot be booked into it, unless there is an agreement, which is another reason that shows move.

This is a back and forth play by play of the show that definitely has its moments...    https://www.vulture.com/2020/12/best-of-broadway-nbc-tina-fey-best-and-worst-moments.html

Jordan Catalano said: "Let’s just be real - none of these are going to sell tickets because nobody knows for sure when theaters will reopen so people aren’t going to be rushing to telecharge and buying tix. By the time we do have a definite date for reopening, this show and these performances will be forgotten and have no impact on sales at that time. Just watch the damn show and enjoy these performers getting to perform again."

I very much agree with the

No agenda here, loves.

Let’s agree to disagree!

Can’t we all just get along?? For the sake of bway!!!

Happy Hanukkah!"

Here's the thing: you can disagree about policy all you want, but you can't disagree about facts, at least not without providing a reasoned basis for not believing them. Are you questioning the work of economists who determine the 1

Can’t explain... stagehand code of honor.

To many eyes and ears."

Are you a joke or a troll? 

Let's unbundle this for a minute. There were two assertions. One was about the 1%. That is demonstrably wrong based on the data I provided. You have provided nothing because, like Trump, when you spout falsehoods, and are challenged, you just fling nothingburgers. T

unclevictor said: "Eye roll. I don’t care about your work history, hogan. You’re still wrong. Beyond wrong!

And frogs fan, I don’t know where u get your info, but you’re wrong too!

Lots of misinformed people here!"

LOL gonna have to do better than that sweetie. 

unclevictor said: "Had to respond.

Hogan, you’re actually WRONG, the heads DO fall w/in the 1% @ the Met AND in every Bway theatre. Ooooooh yes they do. They have their ways and completely abuse the system.

From hogan: “ These people hold the precious institutional knowledge of the institution to any extent that exceeds even the chief executives”
Whaaaaat?! What ru talking about?!? Clearly u have never worked on a Bway show."

this thread is getting along fine without me so I will just annotate a few things.

1. Actually, the stated salaries of the heads do NOT fall within the 1% even in literal terms much less when fully distributed. 

2. The Met and Broadway are apples and oranges. 

3. These people hold the precious institutional knowledge of the institution to any extent that exceeds even the chief executives. If Gelb takes a month off, the Met doesn't miss a beat. (Some might sa
