I can’t believe people are still asking about lower prices because the running time is short. Anyone actually in the industry knows that’s not how it works. Also, common sense kind of answers this question.
Come From Away, Band’s Visit, Hedwig... all one-act, roughly 90-minute shows. All arguably had higher prices than Ferryman, Long Day’s Journey and Iceman Cometh (which is just now finishin
Yes, the 1927-28 season seems to have been the busiest year for Broadway. Some sources claim there were at least 280 new productions (consensus says between 250 and 280). There were over 70 Broadway houses at the time, with about 30 of them newly constructed. And 50-100 performances wasn't too bad.
Compare that with today's average of 36 new productions in 41 houses... And the $0.75 ticket price versus $125 average.
All great prospects to think about, and most of them made sense... but the only one that truly peaked my curiosity was The Lehman Trilogy. Not that Connick's Cole Porter tribute couldn't be cancelled or be moved to another theatre, but I don't see how the Nederlander could get in Lehman, Cole Porter, and Mr. Saturday Night all within in the same season. If the trilogy is going to be only a limited run, perhaps it could go i
Currently, it looks like there are still a handful of B'way houses that will be available in the spring 2020. Any word on who's moving in to all of these theatres?
The Belasco is still dark this fall before Girl From the North Country comes in February. Any limited engagement scheduled before the end of this year?
So far, open theatres this spring will be the Booth, Circle in the Square, Co
CedricOates said: "Andre Dè Shields in “Road to Hell” in Hadestown OBCR sings some flat notes, and when he sings “It’s where you’ll find the King of the Mine” he gobbles the “it’s where you’ll”. Also a sour note in “Way Down Hadestown” when he sings “Everybody tryna get a ticket to go”"
Obsessed with Andre on this recording (and in the show)... yes, he does gobble some words an
Not necessarily just Astaire/Rogers, but Dames of Sea is a classic "parody"-esque of several 30's movie musicals. Some of the numbers do indeed pay homage to the team.
The Coconuts is another 30's adaptation for the stage, which is Marx Brothers material, but has a couple of lovely dance duets.
Most of the "new" Gershwin musical comedies have Astaire/Rogers moments in them, as well as any well-choreographed Cole P
If you purchase seats through TDF, typically the drink minimums are waived at most venues. Look for the show to pop up on TDF and scroll down to the bottom of the description page, then look for a message to see whether your 2-drink minimum is still applicable.
I saw Ruthless! at the Triad a few years ago and my tickets through TDF did not come with the required minimum. (Although, of course, I bought a drink or two anyway. I mean--&nb
Any of the songs from Forever Plaid. The Music Man barbershop quartet songs...
Plenty of male ensemble numbers that can be arranged for 4 people
Damn Yankees (Heart), Guys and Dolls, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (Aggie Song), Crazy For You (Bidin' My Time), Newsies, Oliver!, Charlie Brown, Anything Goes (the sailors' numbers), F
My guess is that How I Learned to Drive will be considered for play Revival since it has been performed regionally for so many years now. This is almost always the case.
It will be interesting to see if Christmas Carol will be considered a new play or revival, since technically it has been on the Broadway before, even though this one will be drastically different from Patrick Stewart's one-man adaptation.
