You realize if he were to be let go for any reason, his entire production contract would have to be paid in full, so he would still benefit a years Broadway salary. He’s in the show. It’s done."
Well, not really. If he's too injured to make it to opening night then they'll have to repl

StageStruckLad said: "And having several scenes played out of view of the audience but projected as videos is NOT theater to me. I like to see LIVE actors onstage when I go to a show. Call me old-fashioned, I guess.
That said, I still enjoyed this production, and I give the creative team credit for trying to do something different."
To be fair, the actors were both live and on stage, you just couldn’t see them all the time. None of the

One thing I was wondering, is if having to perform in pouring rain for an hour each night will make the actors more prone to getting sick. The temperature changes, the wet/humidity, I can’t imagine it’s healthy.

Yes. Multiple sources from the cast have been very open about that full show footage being seen one day. But certainly not any time soon."
Actually, LOJ said on a late night show it’s coming sooner than you’d think, and LMM confirmed on another ta

Beetlejuice has gotta pick a side. Their entire fandom is built off bootleg clips that have gone viral on TikTok and Instagram. They “love their fans” when it’s convenient and helping with closing backlash, but not when it really means they’re just coming to film the show and post it online.
Caught this this week having never seen a production before. I absolutely loved it. It’ll divide everyone, and who knows what the critics will think. But as I see it, if you want to see a “traditional” WSS, watch the movie or go to any local high school. This is the reason theatre exists, and is the only way the art form moves forward.
The only element that didn’t work for me was the orchestrations. It felt very out of the world of the play to have this swel
JBroadway said: "I'm sad, but not especially surprised about the tepid reviews for this.
And while I loved this show and I'm rooting for it, I'll say the same thing I said when Wrong Man reviews came out;for shows like Sing Street, Wrong Man, Secret Life of Bees, etc. reviews are very important to garnering the momentum to justify a transfer. So when people start predicting Broadway transfers for these shows right out of the gate, before we find out if the show

Really hope she’s understudying a principal - she’s and amazing talent and after a year of Eliza on tour in Hamilton, and covering Natasha in Great Comet, she is above Nessa. But work is work. Proud of her.

Count me in as someone who finds that joke as a low blow and very poor taste. What is it saying to young fans who are infuriated at the situation, without the understanding it is 100% legal and Beetlejuice failed on their end, too?
So much for when they go low, we go high. Really disappointed and hope this isn’t a recurring joke.
Broadway World Mobile App Dec 15

Bumping this thread to open a discussion about the really terrible UI that is the new video pop-up in the lower right hand corner of the mobile app. It takes up so much of the screen, auto plays videos, and all interactions with it fail so you can’t close it or pause it. It’s really bad UX. I understand wanting to push content, but the mobile app is SO flawed at it is, this isn’t a solution.

Thanks! Unfortunately a full-view seat is out of my budget unless one pops up as a rush ticket. At this point I'm just trying to decide if it's worth goin

The deck for this production actually looks really low compared to most sets these days.
I...don't understand why it's surprising anyone that this is good. Ivo is one of the world's most talented modern directors, with a pristine, Tony-winning track record of work in NYC. WSS is one of the most beloved American musicals of all time. They workshopped this production for nearly 2 years. Sondheim himself stands behind the changes being made.
Only this board could twist it in the past year to make it seem like this would be a disaster. The production is nearly comp

Despite Turnaround, ‘Beetlejuice’ Being Forced Out of Theater Dec 9

Beetlejuice never should lasted past June 9, 2019. The fact it will make it a year past that is remarkable, and should be nothing but celebrated. It took a Best Musical nomination that absolutely no one was predicting, and a completely random viral moment on TikTok that was totally out of the shows control to get it to where it is today.
Running for 15 months on Broadway is a huge success.
Jordan Catalano said: "Let’s just see if they’re submitting the play to the Tony Awards as two separate plays or as one. "
...Ok.
I’m sorry you take such offense to people not seeing Part 2, when the production itself even validates Part 1 as a full viewing experience. My comments have not been personal attacks in any way.
