Slave Play Preview Thread  Sep 12 2019, 03:49:06 PM

Mike Barrett said: "Is asking if O’Harris is at the previews off topic? I just don’t feel a thread needs to be devoted to that, but just curious. I feel asking questions about the performances should belong in here too"

Hi Mike, I think asking about approaching someone at previews is perfectly acceptable. We were referencing the bickering about the show that had nothing to do with the show or the previews themselves. As long as there is a substantive purp


Slave Play Preview Thread  Sep 12 2019, 03:02:43 PM

Ok, folks. I think that this particular debate has been exhausted, and is simply regurgitating the same talking points. Let's try to get the conversation back on the show itself. If you would like to talk about things other than the show's performances, you are welcome to start a new thread, but any other comments about that in here will be considered off-topic and deleted. 

Thanks so much.

Broadway pianist arrested for trying to seduce 14 year old boy...  Sep 10 2019, 03:06:42 PM

Following a discussion with our moderator and admin teams, we wanted to share an update on our position here and the scope of the permitted conversation on this thread, and others like it moving forward.

While we strive to give as wide a latitude as possible to all theatrically related topics — of course while keeping conversations in line with our rules — this thread has featured a number of discussions that we feel go against our views and values as a company, and therefo


Broadway pianist arrested for trying to seduce 14 year old boy...  Sep 9 2019, 10:50:38 PM

While we respect and generally attempt to foster an open discussion about issues on the boards, there have been things posted in this thread that we are not currently comfortable with having on the site, even in an effort to allow varying perspectives to have an open discussion.

So, we will be locking this thread overnight, since we have reduced moderation outside of business hours. We will make a decision in the morning as to whether we will reopen it once the moderator


Broadway pianist arrested for trying to seduce 14 year old boy...  Sep 7 2019, 06:00:10 PM

Multiple messages were deleted in this thread of posters attacking each other and name-calling. The offending posts and the responses to them were removed. 



re: How to ignore specific users?  Sep 4 2019, 08:42:28 PM

We have removed a number of posts from this thread, because it devolved into personal arguing, but I do want to recommend that if anyone is harassing you via PMs, please use the report option. We do not have access to PMs unless they are reported, so, if someone is being abusive via PMs, please let us know so that we can deal with it appropriately.  



COMMUNTIY REMINDER: There have been articles written about the sexual misconduct of Ben Vereen and William Ivey Long  Sep 4 2019, 03:57:49 PM

Just to clear up one of the things in this thread, our intention was never to send a PM/email for every post that was deleted. If that was the impression that people got by something that was said, we apologize, that was not the what we intended to communicate.

Instead, the intent of explaining decisions was specifically for when the post fell into a grey area, or it was not obvious for the poster as to why something was deleted. If someone makes a post in


MODERATORS: Why was the Ben Vereen thread deleted?  Sep 4 2019, 09:12:21 AM

Our policy on these matters has always been that discussing published reports is completely acceptable. However, unpublished gossip and accusations are not permitted on the board. If someone has first-hand information in cases like these, we are happy to help individuals contact journalists who will be able to investigate and potentially report on those circumstances. 

If you would like to explore that option, you are welcome to PM or email (moderator[at]broadwayworld[do


West Side Story Revival Marquee-What are they thinking?  Aug 23 2019, 04:05:26 PM

The discussion about the appropriateness of this casting is welcome and encouraged on this board, as we view it as a vital conversation for theatre fans and theatre makers. However, when that discussion diverts into personal attacks, that is where we will step in.

If you are able to talk about this sensitive topic without resorting to insults, then there won't be a problem. There are a number of people in this and other threads on this topic who have done a wonderful job of communi


Actor Alleges Troubling Treatment at Broadway's  Aug 23 2019, 09:22:29 AM

While discussing a public, published blog post is obviously acceptable, this conversation is starting to get into territories that are likely better handled via official channels. So we will be locking this thread. Thank you, and everyone have a great Friday. 



Help! My avatar photo was switched without my permission.  Aug 12 2019, 10:08:22 AM

We recently updated our server moving to a different provider. In the transfer, it is possible that if multiple people had uploaded different images with the same file name, they might not have been put back in the same spot. 

However, you are welcome to reupload the original version. We apologize about the confusion, this was not something that we anticipated could potentially happen. 



Tituss v. Andy Cohen  Jul 30 2019, 10:09:50 AM

For those curious as to why certain posts in this thread have been deleted it is because they violated our rules against profanity and obscenities. 

Depending on the context, we try to give leeway on these types of things, but there are no situations in which the language used in these now deleted posts is acceptable on our site, even if it is quoting a public figure who said these things. 

There are plenty of


BWW on iOS redirects to spam/malware website  May 30 2019, 09:46:43 AM

Hello all,

We wanted to update you on this process. our partner that we referenced yesterday paused a few of the sources that seem to have the most issues like these. 

So, we ask that if you see these types of things happening again to email us at moderator[at]broadwayworld[dot]com. Or, if you previously had those issues, but no long do, please let us know that as well. As we get more information, they will continue to play with sources to try and pinpoint where the problem


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/26/19  May 29 2019, 10:57:49 AM

We have deleted a series of posts in this thread that were just two users parsing each others' posts on a question not directly related to the thread. You are, of course, welcome to continue the bickering using PMs, but let's keep this thread focused on this week's grosses. Thank you.



BWW on iOS redirects to spam/malware website  May 29 2019, 10:24:38 AM

Hi all, thank you for chiming in. As others have said this is something that we are aware of, and are working on. Unfortunately, this is coming from bad actors exploiting one of our programmatic partners. This is an issue that plagues the internet and is a bit like whack-a-mole in trying to combat; once you stop one, they come up with a new one. 

Nonetheless, we always send over all of these URLs to our partner to block, so please continue to send them to us at moderator[at]b


Sondheim-Ives Bunuel no more?  May 27 2019, 08:44:02 PM

Hello all, in removing a duplicate post in the "Sondheim-Ives Bunuel no more?" thread, we accidentally removed the entire thread. We are currently looking at options to report it, but we wanted to make sure everyone knew that it was deleted on accident.

Here are the important links from the thread:

My Fair Lady closing July 7  May 17 2019, 05:16:45 PM

We just wanted to jump into the middle of this discussion to remind everyone that while you are welcome to discuss performances, and to even engage about other posters' opinions and statements, when the line is crossed to insulting/attacking others, that is when we will have to remove posts that violate our rules. 

For the most part, while this thread has been contentious at times, most posters have made obvious efforts to keep the disagreements and critiques about the perform


Kinky Boots White-Washing  Apr 12 2019, 04:03:32 PM

While we appreciate the discussion of the appropriateness of a casting decision relative to race, but the thread is not about how racist or not a specific country is, we think this discussion has run its course.

As such, we're going to lock this one.

Taylor Mac and 'judy'  Apr 6 2019, 03:53:40 PM

haterobics said: "Do the mods tell you when they remove posts or do you have to just sort it out on your own?"

If we delete a post that we think was made in good faith, but in our opinion crossed the line, we will send a PM and let the poster know that it was deleted and why. If it was done in a manner in which we believe that the poster already knew that they were violating the rules, we will let the deletion speak for itself.

However, if there are


LGBTQ+  Mar 19 2019, 12:38:16 PM

Any messages that have been deleted have been done so because they have been determined to have violated our rules. Just because you (or we) ultimately agree with the post, doesn't mean that it can't be inappropriate for the board. Attacking an individual for whatever reason is in 99% of the cases going to violate our rules. By all of the pages of discussion in this thread already, we welcome the debate and conversation, but it needs to be kept within the confines of our rules. <
