The Inheritance and Housing Law  Dec 12 2019, 06:45:38 PM

Seems like "rent control" has been long used to justify characters living in unrealistic settings... see: the girls' apartment on "Friends". haha



The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 11 2019, 04:16:32 PM

The movie was likely shot on digital like 9/10 movies these days. (and trailers always kick up the frame rate and brighten the colors, so doubtful the movie will look exactly like this)



Despite Turnaround, ‘Beetlejuice’ Being Forced Out of Theater  Dec 9 2019, 06:11:29 PM

The Beetlejuice IG video was sweet, funny, creative and a pretty classy way to address the situation. Didn't love the show (mostly enjoyed it tho), but really hate seeing this happen. MM is gonna have a bit o' bad karma to overcome with this... 



Mrs. Doubtfire - Seattle Pre-Broadway Thoughts  Dec 6 2019, 01:10:36 PM

Kind of expected this to have more reactions from people who actually saw the Seattle performances... 



How is the current CATS tour?  Nov 25 2019, 01:08:00 AM
Saw it tonight in Nashville. Seems to be the background elements that are inflatable because as someone else said: they climb on what are clearly solid surfaces in the foreground a lot of the time.

During quiet moments you could hear the fans (we were 4th row center). Same sound as the holiday inflatables you see in yards and on display at Home Depot. Haha

Grizabella (Fuller) may be cast too young, but her vocals were jaw dropping. Truly.


DELETE plz  Nov 9 2019, 06:06:16 PM

I can leave at box office in your name and you can Venmo. Row C side orch on aisle, C2-4. $69 each plus fees but you can have em for $40. (Got tix to Slave Play I couldnt pass up)



Any Sat 5pm or late Fri/Sat shows these days?  Nov 6 2019, 11:52:47 PM
Thanks! Looking into Utopia now.

Used to live in Chicago and took way too many family members/out of town guests to Blue Man Group. Haha Great suggestion otherwise tho! Thanks.


Any Sat 5pm or late Fri/Sat shows these days?  Nov 6 2019, 09:52:09 PM

Me again. 

Trying to add some extra shows to the six we already have booked for Thurs to Sun. Any later (10pm?) shows aside from Sleep No More and Then She Fell? Enjoyed them both... OR perhaps a 5 or 6pm Saturday show? (That isn't Naked Boys Singing or Imbible; saw 'em) Have looked through the listings and not found anything yet. Thx! 

Seeing Betrayal on Thurs, Scotland PA


The Lightning Thief goes after critics on twitter  Oct 29 2019, 03:20:05 PM

Due to upheaval for cast/crew, I never wish for a show to close... BUT I'm checking email regularly for an email from Telecharge saying this is closing early and I'm getting refunded. Ill-advisedly bought tix for this months ago, and now would REALLY like to just see something else in its place next weekend (the evening of the 9th). It's one of 6 shows we're seeing that weekend, and I'm now looking forward to it like a root canal. 

I mean, hittin


The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Oct 25 2019, 12:09:09 PM

Would be surprised if they didn't get a trailer out to run with CATS. It's the only high profile movie musical (live action-ish) coming out before ITH's release... 



Ben Platt To Star In New Ryan Murphy Netflix Series  Sep 30 2019, 08:41:54 AM

Thx. That was mentioned in an earlier post, but I’d thought it was in reference to a different scene; didn’t sound like the same song to me. My brain was thinking it was something else from further back.



Ben Platt To Star In New Ryan Murphy Netflix Series  Sep 30 2019, 12:45:52 AM
Guess I was too tired, but I couldn’t place the very familiar song played on the piano in episode 2. Anyone? So familiar to me; felt brain dead that I couldn’t place it. (And subtitles just said “soft piano melody”...)

Wicked movie cast  Sep 23 2019, 04:16:14 PM

FINALLY a thread about this!



The Lightning Thief previews thread  Sep 21 2019, 12:19:44 AM
So... the pretend food thing has been discussed.

Did anyone actually go to the first preview tonight?


Becoming Nancy Previews/Performances Atlanta  Sep 19 2019, 10:34:20 AM

They were too busy posting negative reviews twice, to REALLY drive the point home... 



Show Advisory—Be Aware  Sep 4 2019, 11:01:03 AM

My only $.02 would be to put the title of the referenced show in the thread title... 



COMPANY eyeing a spring 2020 transfer at a Shubert theater  Aug 29 2019, 09:21:42 PM
Also from the Riedel piece: “”Tootsie” should have won the Tony for Best Musical, but lost to “Hadestown...”

I need to lie down. :-O


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
