Hi im drew and i LOVE NYC and Broadway i go to a performing arts high school and major in Musical Theatre there. I go to NYC once every year and see about 8-10 broadway shows over a week! Some of my favorite shows are: Ragtime, Les Mis, Into the Woods, Sound of Music, Next to Normal, Evita, Miss Saigon, Follies, Hello Dolly, In the Heights, Phantom of the Opera, On the Record, Memphis, Once, Billy Elliot, and probably hundreds more!!!
Apologies if this has been stated previously, but, as there is no song list in the Playbill listed on Playbill Vault, does the first act end with the dream ballet as is typically done?
Curious to see if they will use Carolee's name above the title for her run? It will be quite upsetting if they don't.... I also find it interesting that there is no mention on the show's website of Betty's run ending after the Boston stop at the end of this month, and nothing stating Carolee will be taking over, as there was with Bette and Bernadette for the Broadway run. Additionally, all Carolee cities, have just listed the show's logo as part of their seasons, with no s
MOULIN ROUGE SRO UPDATES Aug 9

I generally do not like to be a voice of “negative” or “complaining” commentary here, or come across as ungrateful, but come on. I know the two are vastly different shows, and in different theaters, but I truly hope they do not discontinue the SRO policy. To Kill A Mockingbird also has actors utilizing the aisles for the show and there was nothing unsafe about those actors walking around and entering behind us in the SRO section. Between a nearly impossible to win lottery, and an absolutely absu
HADESTOWN cast album - thoughts? Jul 26

Has there been no details released as to a physical CD release for this album? I noticed only the digital version was listed on Amazon and can’t seem to find a physical copy listed anywhere else.

Any updates as to whether or not they began offering SRO for tonight’s show, being the first post opening?
Upcoming Waitress casting Jul 23
2019, 09:16:30 PM
I know a final return for Sara is the main rumor/idea being tossed around for closing but I do wonder if somehow the timeline could work that Alison could extend slightly, and then Jessica Vosk could come into the show for a short 2 month run to close out the show, after she finishes Becoming Nancy in Atlanta.
COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater Jun 30
2019, 12:29:32 PM
As much as I adore Laura Benanti, vocally alone, she is all wrong for Bobbie, as is evidenced by Rosalie Craig’s performance, Bobbi needs to have belting capabilities of which, as Laura herself has stated many times, she does not have. Count me among those who truly hopes Rosalie transfers or someone like SJB is cast.
THE CHER SHOW to launch national tour Jun 29
2019, 06:44:00 PM
I could definitely see both Michaela and Teal touring, with Dee Roscioli playing Star principally since she has already been standby for both Chicago and Broadway.

Curious if anyone knows if they will be doing any sort of SRO or rush for this? Assuming not since the lotto was already announced but thought I’d inquire.
Stephanie J. Block Cher Show Tony Performance Jun 9
2019, 01:35:07 PM
Have been seeing Dee Roscioli posting a lot of apparent Tony preparation for the shows Tony performance tonight, with an apparent absence of SJB? I assume shes just standing in for her for the rehearsals? Strange that Teal and Michaela have been present but not SJB? Any insight into this?
No Stephanie Torns has not left the cast. Whenever her stints as Jenna end, she returns to her ensemble track, playing Francine, and understudying Dawn and Jenna. Major props to her though, she's been with the show since its pre-Broadway run in Boston in 2015! At this point it does seem as though, she will be staying with the show until its inevitable closing (which as we all have speculated would not be surprising to see happen in the not too distant future.)
Who will succeed Betty Buckley in HELLO, DOLLY! tour? Mar 29
2019, 05:46:57 PM
Would love to see Beth Leavel do it. Having already played Dolly regionally, in addition to being just the right level of Broadway “name” status that would work perfectly for a national tour, she would be a truly excellent choice! Additionally, the timing may also work as well for her to be a likely option with the second leg of the tour being around the time of her contract potentially being up for The Prom (sans renewal) as it will have been close to one year since rehearsals/previews beginnin

New WICKED Cast Replacements this month and next? Mar 20
2019, 03:27:20 PM
Chelsea Emma Franko posted a throwback to her time on tour as standby Elphie three days ago, and I know she’s been a rumored replacement. However, I’m a little confused if it is her because I thought I had read where the next Elphie is completely new to the role and is more of a broadway “name.” And as thrilled as I’d be to see Chelsea replace, she fits neither of those criteria listed above.
Maybe a bit early, but perhaps Mary Kate has booked Janis on the Mean Girls tour, as people were previously discussing her joining the Broadway cast, but it appears Barrett will be staying for the time being, and also seeing as how Mary Kate has not been on Broadway before, but has done Wicked on tour, they may be wanting a more established Broadway "semi-name" performer to eventually replace Barrett. This would keep her busy for at least a year, after which she could possibly come
Also, in regards to the leading actress category, would Eva Noblezada not be leading for Hadestown? I want this to be Block’s year more than anything, but if Eva is considered leading, I could see her being more competition than Kelli.
KISS ME, KATE! (2019) Reviews Mar 14
2019, 08:59:52 PM
Am also quite curious to see how this one fares.... Saw it last week and thought it to be incredibly lackluster and in some cases woefully miscast, with this being (I would surely hope) the only time in Kelli O’Hara’s career we will ever be able say she was truly awful in anything. One of the finest interpreters of the R&H catalogue she is, but comedienne she is NOT. Everything about her performance felt so incredibly lifeless, humorless and incredibly dull, with absolutely zero chemistry betwee
Kiss Me Kate Rush? Mar 13
2019, 05:18:41 PM
Also, forgot to mention, I believe all seats are the extreme side sections of the rear mezzanine but are still full view with no obstructions!
Kiss Me Kate Rush? Mar 13
2019, 05:16:53 PM
Saw the show last Wednesday evening and got a rush ticket around 4:00 in the afternoon after flying into LGA and landing around 2:00. So I’d say no need to arrive early at all! I believe all rush seats are rear mezzanine for 39, however (as others have noted on here as well) the leg room in these seats at Studio 54 is quite dreadful and very tight, so be advised. Not sure if the aisle seats are available for rush, but I’d definitely recommend an aisle seat if one is available. Best of luck!
