Aaron Sorkin's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Adaptation to premiere on Broadway December 13, 2018  May 10 2018, 03:41:46 PM

Thank GOD.

Am I the only one who thinks the Shubert is a tad large for this? Not worried about the stage size, more like will they be able to sell the Shubert?

Yet Great Comet walked away with nearly no awards last year, and instead the award went to the most cookie cutter musical of the year? 



The 2018 Best Actor in a Musical Race  May 7 2018, 11:32:40 PM

Really rooting for Ethan Slater. But I also think Andy Karl was robbed. So maybe I'm not the best judge for the Best Actor category...



What show do you have high hope for next season?  May 7 2018, 11:22:49 PM

Really hoping some producers somewhere are quietly still working on Ride The Cyclone coming in! 



CAROUSEL (2018) Previews  May 6 2018, 12:46:22 AM

Miles2Go2, I totally understand and hear your dilemma. As someone who didn't care for this production but lives here and doesn't have to stress about things like this, I wanted to chime in. If you want to see some gorgeous dancing and (mostly) decent performances - go! But do know that if you choose not to, your life will in NO WAY be affected by missing this production. The same can be said if you choose to see it. 

 



GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER cast announcement  May 4 2018, 11:37:07 PM

Why isn't this just called "Mediocre White Men: The Musical"?



Official 2018 TONY Nominations Thread  May 1 2018, 09:12:58 AM

When was the last time a show got as negative reviews as Mean Girls but the most (tied) nominations?m Truly don't understand how this happened.

And all of you surprised about the OOTI shut out are quickly forgetting how much the Awards gifted DEH over Comet, which was by far the more creative and original of the two.

So excited for Spongebob! And Harry Potter for grabbing Score and Choreo nominations; really hoping they repeat for the Tonys!



CURSED CHILD Reviews  Apr 22 2018, 08:53:30 PM

^ As always BroadwayConcierge, I couldn't agree more with you. I only felt compelled to post it to call out the Designer who would be so unprofessional to ask such a thing at a press performance they were probably attending for free.



CURSED CHILD Reviews  Apr 22 2018, 08:50:55 PM

I really want to know who the dumbass "Top Broadway Designer" is who asked "Can somebody tell me what the hell is going on?" at the performance Robert Holfer of The Wrap attended. More below:

Mean Girls Rush/Lottery  Apr 22 2018, 08:44:07 PM

I've done a handful of the in person lottos on Saturdays in April. Every time there's easily about 100 people, though never as many as in person lotteries used to be. That's good though, because this show raffles off so few seats. I want to say it's 19 - it's always an odd number, and I feel like only 8 or 9 names get called each time. I've never won, though I did see it in previews.

They also have a cancellation line barricaded directly next to the lottery entr


This Flat Earth @ Playwrights Horizon  Apr 20 2018, 11:57:48 PM

People aren't talking about it because I haven't met a single person that's more than remotely enjoyed it, and in a season of duds in NYC, this blends in perfectly. 

It's definitely a play that probably reads better than it plays. The actors, while talented, are matched with some pretty laughable dialogue, and a clunky set that feels half finished. 



Light Shining in Buckinghamshire at NYTW  Apr 19 2018, 11:19:55 PM
Just saw the second preview. Ran 2 hrs 40 mins with a long intermission.

Don’t want to say too much since it’s so early in the run, but let’s just say I’ve never seen so many people not return for a second act in a very long time.


Was Kristolyn Lloyd making a dig towards DEH?  Apr 19 2018, 01:16:37 PM
This brings up a very important conversation but definitely not one the industry is ready to have.

Re: Waitress, they’ve always made sure on broadway that one of the 3 main women are a POC.

Re: Dolls House, Erin joined the same time Steven did, who’s a black man.

Re: DEH, “token” is a harsh word to use, but we’re lying to ourselves if we think otherwise.

Also, we will never see a POC Evan Hansen - audiences would never give him the ridiculous “pass” and em


HADESTOWN to open in London, Broadway in 2019  Apr 19 2018, 11:16:11 AM

What I think is most fascinating about all this, is it's going into the Olivier Theater, which is a much larger version of the Vivian Beaumont. Looks like they'll have to be restoring some of the circular staging, since this isn't a typical proscenium space at all. The Olivier is gigantic - could they actually be considering the Beaumont? 

Since it's Chavkin, I'm certain it'll be incredible and magical no matter what, but their staging track record is fasci


Why no Demand for Frozen? Any Thoughts ?  Apr 18 2018, 12:23:00 AM

Why no demand? It's uh. terrible.



Frozen Partial View Seats  Apr 16 2018, 09:25:22 PM

Why do partial view when you can get tickets nearly anywhere in the theater for >$50 on StubHub the day before/of a show? Got front row balcony last week! (Would recommend the view, not the show)



2018 Pulitzer Prize  Apr 16 2018, 11:06:55 AM

My prediction is for sure MARY JANE, as it's my favorite of all the aforementioned plays.



Ethan Slater out tonight  Apr 15 2018, 09:19:37 PM

greenifyme2 said: "Curtis Holbrook? My coworker went last weekend and Ethan was also out then. He must be on a long vacation?"

 

Ethan is not on vacation. He’s just been missing some shows recently. The role is very demanding and I’m surprised it took him this long to miss some. I’m hoping they don’t begin an alternate schedule, and if they do, I think they should cast an official alternate other than Curtis (just my personal opini


Billie Piper to reprise her Olivier Winning performance in  Apr 15 2018, 04:36:21 PM

FutureDirector said: "Any chance this transfers? It's selling out the armory and that's close to a midsize Broadway Theater (around 800 seats)"

I think a transfer would normally be a no-brainer, but the way this production is designed, there truly isn't a space this could work in on Broadway. Even if they kept the design as-is and did on stage seating, I think sightlines from a Broadway house's mezzanine would be too partial for this to work (since th
