My guess is that they're waiting to see the response to Glick, which seems to be very positive, and they'll extend with him. I'm seeing Groff, but I'd consider going back because every performance I've seen from Glick has drawn me in (feel the same way about Groff).
Saw the play tonight and liked it but didn't love it. Felt slow in places which I understand was intentional but ehhh. The acting was great from all three, so maybe I'm just not a fan of the piece. Based on the audience's response, they seemed to really love it.
Was there tonight and had B26 and 28. View were good from there although we may have missed a few signs that say "two years earlier" or things like that. The side front mezzanine seats were pretty empty, so we moved over and became more centrally located in the side section. Very good view. They even moved people down from the side rear mezzanine seats because the entire rear mezz was full. Weird that those were full while the closer sides weren't.
^ You're right. They did do a Hitlist staged concert at 54 Below, and it was great. Everyone who was in Hitlist in the show was there except Katherine McPhee. Even some of the songwriters were there. The took people's cell numbers and communicated with them during the night just like Kyle's idea on the show. It was a lot of fun! You can find videos on YouTube.
I also agree that the problem is the amount of singing for Marilyn in Bombshell. Reminds me of why someone sa

They’ve talked in the past about working on the stage version, but since the passing of Craig Zadan, one of the producers, I haven’t heard anything. Neil Meron, the other producer, seems to have slowed down a bit.

Dolly, you clearly have some knowledge about this production. Wanna share who WILL be coming to Broadway?
The marquee is up now, but still no news on the cast. And no news on discounts. This is a two-part drama. Do they think the buzz from London will be enough for this one?

^ Both of those are very exciting! Hopefully they’ll come soon.
Interested in taking my students. They have O-R (the last rows) or K-N in the mezz for student tickets. Leaning toward K-N, but I'm still not sure that those will even be good. I know it's a big theatre. Saw Frozen from the balcony of the St. James and basically thought it was a waste of money. Any input?
I don't remember there being enough music in Moana for a full musical. Have to hand it to Disney for getting these out. They make so much money from them, so it's in their best interest. I just wish other companies would do the same. Hello Dolly Jr.? Grease Jr.? I know there's a school version. Mamma Mia Jr.? Kiss Me Kate Jr.? How to Succeed...Jr.? West Side Story Jr.? Waiting on titles like this over some of the more juvenile ones that have been released. I get that they're f
Anyone have the cast list? It's been taken down from all sites.

^ Not a little late for that as I’ve been thinking this since I saw it last year. Lots of their company decisions recently have felt misguided. Not sure where the “magic” went.

This is just my opinion, and people will definitely disagree, but here we go. I do not wish anyone job loss, but on some level I’d like to see Frozen not do well. The additional songs were not good and the lack of artistic merit and creativity was disappointing. Disney needs to step up their game (or realize that Broadway is a better place for something with depth like Hunchback). We’ll see about Hercules. There’s a lot of potential there.
I agree with some of the commenters above. Theater people like Audra but are more likely to see her in a musical. Michael Shannon is not someone people generally think of in a romantic play. He (his characters, really) is creepy. Lastly, it's a simple play about loneliness and connection. People aren't shelling out big money for that. If they're going to pay $100 they want a spectacle. Sad but true.
