Jagged Little Pill to Premiere at ART  May 6 2018, 12:50:16 PM

RippedMan said: "What’s the design like? I feel like everything that comes from ART is kind of basic in design. Finding Neverland had no real magic or exciting moments - besides the ending - and Waitress is fairly basic design wise. Just curious!"

Production photos are out already on ART's FB and Instagram channels. It looks a bit Next to Normal-ish to me.

So what IS it about and what are the dark subjects? 



Moulin Rouge/Aaron Tveit  May 5 2018, 12:17:49 PM

Is the video filmed at the Emerson Colonial? 



Jagged Little Pill to Premiere at ART  Apr 18 2018, 11:46:45 AM

Does anyone know what this is actually about? There's a very vague description about a multi-generational family, race, gender, etc but nothing about characters or plot.

Looks like Christian will be an American character now. 



Meeting Lauren Bacall  Feb 11 2018, 02:31:03 PM

I'd hardly call it a "meeting" but when I was a student in Emerson College circa 2001 or 2002, Waiting in the Wings did its Broadway tryout at the Colonial (now Emerson Colonial) and I walked in one cold morning into the box office to buy a ticket. She was there with who I gather could have been her assistant. I just remembered nodding and smiling with little to say. She said good morning and approvingly saw me walk to buy a ticket.



Question on Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction  Jan 27 2018, 03:06:01 AM

Hello resourceful people who know everything..

I live overseas and was planning a trip to coincide with the Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction. The 2018 dates aren't released yet, but noticed from back dated events that it seems to be held on the Sunday of last week of September. Can anyone confirm?

 



MOULIN ROUGE will be finally be a stage musical  Jan 19 2018, 08:42:29 AM

I got myself tickets to the first and second preview, and it looks like the early performances are selling rather well. I was surprised that my non-American AmericanExpress worked on the ATG Booking site, as it doesn't normally work on Ticketmaster, which I suppose only accepts AmEx cards issued in the US. 

Can't wait for a casting announcement..Aaron Tveit seems to be all wrong to play the earnest and awkward writer. Karen Olivo is probably perfect, but I doubt she'd

Aiming for the first weekend! I have an Audience Rewards membership. Fingers crossed I can get a ticket. 



The Band's Visit cast recording available for first listen ahead of streaming release on 12/15  Dec 16 2017, 01:45:12 PM

John Adams said: "ljay889 said: "Verge had a stripped down and revised London production and that is now the official licensed version of the show. A few good songs were cut/replaced,the orchestra greatly reduced, and the epic overture was devastatingly cut."

Do you know if there's a cast album of the London version?


"

There is - but it was never officially released, but there are digital copies circulating around the web.


HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements  Dec 14 2017, 04:36:54 PM

Does anyone know who will replace Joseph Morales as alternate Hamilton in Chicago? I saw him as well as Miguel Cervantes and wouldn't mind seeing someone new in June. 



The Band's Visit cast recording available for first listen ahead of streaming release on 12/15  Dec 13 2017, 12:16:50 PM

They defiantly re-recorded Omar Sharif. In the original promos Katrina pronounces Um Kulthoum "Um Kulsoum" (with an S), in the Broadway recording she pronounces it Um Kulthoum (with a th). 



MOULIN ROUGE will be finally be a stage musical  Dec 7 2017, 04:14:08 AM

Any idea when dates or tickets will go on sale?



The Woman in White London Revival  Nov 22 2017, 10:31:44 AM

I saw the first preview. 

I haven't seen the original Palace Theatre version, besides the clips that are/were floating on YouTube. I can reassure everyone that this is a projection/video free zone. 

Thom Southerland made an introductory speech on how this is the first preview and how things might look strange at times because it's a first performance, or just not work altogether. Luckily, the latter never happened, but there were instances when things d


THE BAND's VISIT Reviews  Nov 9 2017, 10:56:39 PM

Does anyone know when tickets go on sale for the block post-April? 



Everybody's Talking About Jamie  Oct 28 2017, 01:59:53 AM

I'm seeing this towards the end of previews. It looks good, and I've only heard good things, but I'm less and less inclined to trust MT fans in London these days. I think it could be good, and it has the potential to be a clever show. From what I've seen though, I'm afraid it could rail off to be a combination of Matilda meets Kinky Boots. 



Lea Michele announces on WWHL she wants to return to Broadway in FUNNY GIRL  Oct 16 2017, 03:27:24 PM

Thank God. Except Sonia Friedman's version isn't thrilling or anything, and had the most unremarkable and wrongly cast leading lady in Sheridan Smith. 



THE BAND'S VISIT Previews  Oct 8 2017, 10:10:49 AM

This was a beautiful show when I saw it in the Atlantic, and it was refreshing to see Arabs as non-terrorists, or non-non-terrorists as portrayed in Come From Away. 

Being Arab myself, I would have never thought that I'd hear Arabic music performed in a Broadway show. My only issue, which I highlighted in a survey I took for the Atlantic while they were contemplating the transfer, was that the band speaks in classical Arabic together, where in the film (and in reality) they


Eliza? - My Fair Lady Revival 2018  Oct 5 2017, 03:24:48 PM

When do tickets go on sale, and can I sign up for early booking?



Dreamgirls 2018 Broadway Transfer  Sep 7 2017, 02:59:03 PM

I'm pretty sure Amber, Liisi, Aaron and Tyrone are all transferring the show from London to Broadway.
