THE INHERITANCE to play the Barrymore this fall; Sept previews/Nov. opening  Aug 19 2019, 04:41:47 PM

One or two of the codes I tried are vastly different for Thursdays and Fridays. You'll pay a lot more for Pt 2 than Pt 1 using that method... frown



synonyms for "the theater"? -- e.g. fabulous invalid  Aug 16 2019, 04:37:30 PM

"The boards"



Next for the Longacre!  Aug 12 2019, 11:17:33 AM

Looks like the rumors were true. 



LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS returning Off-Broadway this Fall?  Aug 6 2019, 10:55:07 AM

EllieRose2 said: "There is an entirely different thread on who will be on as Seymour when Groff is out. Prices are not that expensive considering it's a small house and limited availability. That is why ticket priceswould be so high."

Can't seem to find that thread... hmm... 



2019 Tony Award broadcast coming to iTunes?  Aug 4 2019, 11:57:27 AM

It usually seems to pop up 7-8 months after... not sure why. 

Wish they'd just edit out the Spacey parts and release 2017's.  



THE INHERITANCE to play the Barrymore this fall; Sept previews/Nov. opening  Jul 30 2019, 04:22:03 PM

Too funny... I came back here wondering about the exact same things: discount and casting. 



Is Tootsie Closing Next?  Jul 20 2019, 06:25:01 PM

Take a look on Ticketmaster for this Saturday night. It would be easier to count the sold seats. Not a good sign if this is the weekend business.

Looking now, a couple of hours before showtime, the orchestra looks about 95% sold. Maybe 2/3 sold in the mezzanine. Maybe they unloaded a bunch at TKTS today?

TheSassySam said: "Has anybody received a discount code? I believe there were mailers sent out."

Am curious about this too.. My November trip is already ridiculously expensive.  



CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Jul 18 2019, 06:02:43 PM

It looks horrifying and amazing and "what the?" I'm NOT a fan of the show (understatement) but I have a feeling our 6 year old is gonna really wanna see it. I'll take her out of sheer car-crash curiosity. 



Supermarkets on Stage  Jul 11 2019, 10:57:56 AM

An early iteration of Next to Normal had a Costco-set scene/song I believe. 



Moose Murders  Jul 1 2019, 02:44:36 PM

Never knew Mara Hobel (young Christina from Mommie Dearest) was in this. surprise



Plays that Deal with Alzheimer's or Dementia  Jun 27 2019, 10:57:56 AM

The Waverly Gallery



Beetlejuice Cast Member Death  Jun 22 2019, 05:08:58 PM

A production assistant. Must be difficult/weird going on knowing a co-worker just passed away. 



Shuffle Along - What happened?  Jun 18 2019, 02:49:23 PM

This is why Shuffle Along and War Paint are technically hits*, despite their short run, as they “recouped” their initial investments through their original Broadway productions."

SA and WP recouped? Is that due to successful insurance claims? (Have just heard of more successful/buzzier shows taking way longer than I'd have thought to recoup, and neither of these seemed to have very long runs.)



Solution to Cell Phones on Bway  Jun 13 2019, 06:47:03 PM

HogansHero said: "1. This is about recording, not making noise or light.

Sorta. Pretty soon into the article it's talking about texting being distracting. And the first few quotes (including LuPone's) are about distractions from lit-up screens etc. It only becomes about "recording" just shy of halfway through, and then mentions patrons forgetting to silence the phones before "pouching" them... 



Solution to Cell Phones on Bway  Jun 13 2019, 06:18:14 PM

The Apple Watch issue (lighting up repeatedly) has a simple fix... they rolled out "Theatre Mode" a year or two ago; but it only works if people use it. Prevents alerts from coming through, silences it, and best of all-- prevents the screen lighting up inadvertently when you raise your arm. You have to turn the crown slowly to check the time and it's a slow, dimly lit fade not seen from even a couple feet away. 
Just wish more people knew to activate it before the show


Cher show at the tonys performance  Jun 10 2019, 07:09:33 PM

Didn't love the show, but husband and I ended up caving to its charm and had fun. But the Tonys performance seemed more like an amateur recreation of the show than the actual production, skilled dancers aside. Block looked bored and angry, very different from the sweet/sardonic persona she pulled off so well in the show. (and I'm someone who readily acknowledges and usually forgives the constraints and out-of-context challenges of an awards show performance)



Roles for Jonathan Groff  Jun 1 2019, 04:47:43 PM

He's just about the perfect age for Bobby in COMPANY, but not sure we need another take on that for a while... 



Hadestown Discount Codes  May 27 2019, 02:56:16 PM

It's selling at over 100% seating capacity and bringing in over 100% of gross potential (one of only a handful of shows passing 100%), so likely no discounts for a while. 



Jokes In Musicals That...Just Don't Work?  May 20 2019, 05:36:02 PM

I thought Tootsie had a funny, quick-moving book (despite not liking the score too much), but the quick gag about choreography stolen wholesale from The Birdcage made me roll my eyes an almost complete 360.
