I am putting my money still on a pre-opening plug on the Tonys this season. Kinda like Finding Neverland did only.... not stupid. Nothing fully staged but a duet of "Come What May" from the leads (be it the same ones from Boston or if they are recast) with some kind of introduction about how Moulin Rouge relaunched the movie musical genre and now it's coming to the stage next season.

The same producers of King Kong this season are the ones that will be bringing in Moulin Rouge. Despise people claiming up and down that it would make it in this season, there was never a chance in it coming in to compete against the producer's other investment to steal and of it's thunder. Even i

I am sure they would try to split it the same way that 'Summer' did last season. They put the "eldest" one into leading and the others into featured and that worked out very well for them. So it will likely see SJB into leadin

This actually made me think... so we got Ann, we got Carl.... but has the "Jack" character been cut? Has the idea of a love triangle (If you want to call it that) been scrapped as a way to make it more "I don&#
Yeah TONS of puppet praise. I saw two people comment on liking Christian. More puppet love. And on person that said "overchoreographed" and that at least 2 songs in Act 1 should be junk.... and then praised the puppet.
Dan6 said: "28 musical numbers listed (14 in each act), of which 10 are orchestra only. Looks like Ann Darrow, Carl Denham, and Captain Englehorn are the only solo singing roles."
Sooooo I know math and I don't know how I like these numbers. Intermission reports should be coming soon....
It's a little odd they they are using so many different pieces of artwork for this one on the merch. It's as if they couldn't decide what art they liked the best so just used them all. It's not like there is one unified theme to them like the same text logo with different pictures. They
Lauren2 said: "Well you would have to include HP (although it is not musical) because it includes Harry as a child and a kid."
Hmmmm that's a hard one since the flow of time is not in a straight line. I would not count the times of him appearing as a kid at those are not even really flashbacks as they are dreams (I don't count that as a spoiler since I don't say what happens in the dreams so don't come at me) but what happens in Part 2, Act 2 is not a
If you don't really care what you see, try going within the last 30 minutes before curtain. Discounts for whatever is left over within the last half hour tends to drop if they were not already at 50% (rare to see anything more then that) but you'll need to pick something right around Time Square or be prepared to book it for a theatre further off that central section.
Boy from Oz comes to time as it covers Allen's life from childhood to death. So maybe 35-40 years depending on what you'd pinpoint his age as a child to be. Not the longest (AIDA defeats all comers here) but worth mentioning.

Be More Chill is going to be going home LONG before Tootsie and Beetlejuice.
Be More Chill might have a very strong teenage and young adult fan base, but that fan base will not be able to afford more than one (if even one) trip to the show. The fanbase here is more like/more able to afford buying bootlegs people will capture of the show then actually goin
People that keep saying that Moulin Rouge is going to go into the Shubert have clearly not sat UPSTAIRS there anytime lately. Seeing Dolly from up in the balcony made it VERY clear that MR would never work there.
The stage is the right size, the number of seats in the house is the right size, but it's a very tall and THIN house. All I could think sitting there was how tight a fit it would be for the windmill and the Elephant. It would just not look right and it might even fee
Danielle49 said: "If it’s indeed Moulin Rouge, we can assume it’ll start previews in mid-late May at the absolute earliest,right? Meaning the 2019-2020 season like everyone’s been saying? No way they’d make the Tony cutoff with Kinky Boots closing April 7th."
I'm thinking more June/July with the possibility of them paying for a performance slot on the Tony awards before they even start or while they are in previews to give them a hearty ad
Yeeeeeeeeeah I'll be shocked if it's anything other then Moulin Rouge. So I'm a little interested since it's basically the obvious answer here, if there are any doubters... what do they think could possibly go in OTHER then Moulin Rouge?
This new art, the same art, they have been using in their online ad banners lately, is just awful. If they think that their issue with advertising was the art they were using, they are very VERY wrong. And no Peppermint on the recording art? There is PLENTY of space on there to her right in the center. Wow. They just keep making such head scratching choices on this one.
yankeefan7 said: "Maybe it was on the off night of "Bombshell", every show has a night off - lol"
Nawww she actually mentions something about how she'd be taking the night off from the show to someone. I forget the exact line or who she said it to but it's made very clear that Ivy is calling out of Bombshell last minute to go.
Bwayfan292 said: "Dont grab anything someone trys to give you in times square."
THIS ^^^ THIS is a BIG one! And not just in Times Square, ANYWHERE in the city. These crooks have been getting bold. Last time I was in the city, they tried to pull this one me inside the H&M store. Also going off this one, DON'T take pictures with any of the "characters" hanging around either.
Don't fall prey to the ticket sellers in your hotel. Most hotels will have a "buy show tickets HERE" counter but 95% of the time those tickets are the highest cost seats. Look up discount codes, buy from discount sellers, or even buy directly at box office where you'll pay just as much as you will from the places at the hotel but at least have a bit more control over the locations of your seats and you don't risk a "convenience" charge add on.
