Eden Espinosa called out Nederlander Oragnization  Jun 10 2020, 10:15:24 AM

Tag said: "^Where's the money coming from?"

No one is discussing the money from shows other than you, this is why I found your comment to be BS. Its about the theatre owners, not audiences and who comes and goes to a show. Legit has nothing to do with this. You said no one is clamoring for Eden Espinosa to be in a show since she hasn't been on Broadway since 2008, that comment had nothing to do with the audiences and all to do with the producers, since her co

Perhaps you would like systemic racism to blow over? Whatever, it doesn't matter what you think, it WON'T and this incredible open letter is a start. It is signed by the best and brightest BIPOCin the theater community.So, nah, not 20 randoms on socials anymore. Deal with it.

Lea Michele Twitter  Jun 2 2020, 05:45:21 PM
For anyone questioning why she’d be dragged for a tweet that does seemingly seem in support, the problem is:

We’re tired of people SAYING the right thing, rather than DOING the right thing. Plenty of people say the right things, but it’s not who they actually are. And people are tired of it.

This seemed like a collective “Nope, we’ve had enough of your BS” moment for Lea Michele and if all these reports are true it’s probably for good measure.


Self-care While Self-Distancing and Broadway is Closed  Apr 3 2020, 01:29:37 PM

Oh that sounds yummy! 

I have my M&Ms ready, waiting for the Pinot to chill a bit more, getting dressed up and acting as if I am attending a matinee of One Man Two Guvnors. Yes... adults can play dress up too! Especially now! Got my bow tie and all :)  

This thread is super helpful though, great idea! Cooking a marsala tonight as I splurged a little on my last trip to the store, never tried making a marsala so this should be interesting. Oddly, I've lost a lot

Great thread Miles!

I’ve struggled with self care, mainly going to pot for my “self care” although today, after several days of trying, I’m finally making it come to an end. Going to turn on One Man Two Guvnors and enjoy my afternoon!

Oh, I cannot wait to watch this today. When this played Broadway it was right around the time I initially dived deep into theatre and Broadway. This was a comedy and show I have always been wanting to see and now the time has come. Been a really hard few weeks on me (as I’m sure it is for everyone), so I’m going to make the most of this!!!

Getting ready as if I were seeing the matinee today of this. I am shamelessly going to dress up as if I were going to the theatre, have some wine an


How is everyone doing?  Mar 27 2020, 09:00:35 PM

Hey everyone, Mike, 22 male here from just outside Concord NH. I naturally have BPD and anxiety and am on medication for both. I got my refills last week and other than that and 1 grocery store trip I have not been out of my house. I am back living at home with my parents since moving from closer to Boston due to losing a job. Im just worried. I do not want to get sick, I do not want to get them sick, I'm so worried, 24/7. I am doing everything I can to distract myself and relax myse

If I had to think of top 5 shows on Broadway in my lifetime that I wish I could have seen, this is in my top 5. Well, time to cross it off the list! At least I have Thursday to look forward to assuming I stay healthy.

"Ta Ta For Now" Broadway !  Mar 16 2020, 02:05:11 PM

Maybe not one of this boards favorite shows, and looking back on it I see the flaws but 14 yr old me absolutely adored this show and this song. This song (and this performance) always gives me chills and a feeling of happiness and peace. I recommend everyone a watch during these times, stay safe, happy, and healthy BWW!

Not on social media at all so I haven't seen anything, is Boston not announcing tonight anymore? Id presume this is the case but it'd actually be nice to have an announcement to have something to look forward to. We shall see.

What would you all say is the most uplifting and upbeat score out there? Preferably one where plot isnt all that necessary. Could certainly use some suggestions right now

The Minutes Preview Thread  Feb 28 2020, 12:44:28 PM

If you copy and pasted the same review, maybe they deleted it as a double post? Only other reason I can think of. Miles is easily the least offensive poster here lol 

The Minutes Preview Thread  Feb 28 2020, 12:23:28 PM

If someone wants to PM spoilers, I'm so curious about what is so "shocking" about the play. Its always looked interesting and fun to me but I had no idea it'd make such a transition that seems to be a little polarizing. Can't imagine Im going to make it to the city for this season so I'm happy to be spoiled. Hoping this has a strong run, typically enjoy Letts' plays

MTH85 said: "I think that, with the LA announcement, The Ferryman tour isoff. LA, Tampa, and Dallas were potential stops but none of those included it. Plus, the booking office it was using doesn't have it listed on their site anymore. It's still early, but all indications point to this one being a scratch for the 20/21 season."

Unless its the 1 show LA hasn't announced, sadly, this seems true. Really was dying to catch this a 2nd time.
