Agreed. Feels like a very similar American In Paris vs. Fun Home situation, and I feel we'll have similar outcomes this time around, too.
I think it's terrible to start thinking that it's normal to expect understudies being on for leading roles. The attendance culture of some Broadway shows is shocking to me - the fact that every Mean Girls cast member except Kerry Butler had missed a show by the beginning of August, less than half a year into the run, shouldn't be a normal thing.
I cannot believe we're letting the two leads of Frozen on Broadway dictate the discussion of 8-show-weeks. They should j

I’ve read this referenced a couple of times before, but havingnever seen the movie or any other adaptation of the show, don’t quite grasp what this means, especially the latter."
The stage on the Broadway production was extremely deep, a

I'm honestly shocked this continues to be a problem. Theredesign is more buggy than an iphone update."
Wait, the complete redesign of software by a small non-profit institution is more buggy than an update

I agree. I do not think Hadestown is at all considering CITS. They have now spent 2 years trying to reimagine and reconfigure it to fit in a traditional proscenium space. While they could technically shove the Nat

...yes? This is an entire thread hating on the Waverly Gallery playbills, but you’re stuck on my rational comment about being thankful I received a copy with the nicest cover? If you’re trying to insinuate I see shows just to get a Playbill, that is...just plain wrong. Ugh.
omg please don't make him sit through Anastasia. Unless he's really into musical theatre, it's just such a bore of a show I don't think he'd enjoy it at all. Would've loved to see Alex Brightman tear up a stage when I was 13 - that seems like an awesome opportunity.

^ This. Exactly this. No one in NY would shut up about it last year, but then everyone who wanted to see it, s
I know it would've changed the tone of the event, but damn I really wanted Jessica Vosk to sing No Good Deed. She sings it so singularly, would've loved to have it preserved in some way.
I understand the marketing team is trying to dull down the branding to make it more main stream, but they are stripping it of everything that makes it stand out. Toning down the Go-Go's, the queerness, hell, even tossing Peppermint of
Why stunt cast? Why him? This makes no sense. Even Cody, whose music I’m actually a fan of won’t get me to sit through this bore of a show for a third time.
Not to start rumors, but do we think Zach Madkins is collateral damage in all this? Kind of like Brittain Ashford in Great Comet? Such a shame. I hope he left on his own accord and finds work soon, he’s so talented.
ACL2006 said: "But seriously, how is HEAD OVER HEELS still open?"
This gets covered multiple times a week - a strong rumor is that an angel donor has ensured the production will run until January. At this point, I believe that rumor fully as there is no other way it could be running. Some dummy is paying for it.

I imagine the site is not mobile optimized yet, which is what your Kindle and iPhone are attempting to populate.
As for browsers, Google Chrome is king these days, and most developers and designers use it as their primary source for testing. I'm able to use

Not that this helps, but I don’t think anyone on here realizes the scope of the change TDF is undergoing. They’re redesigning their entire ticketing system, which is a mammoth task. I know you’re disappointed they said it’d most likely be ready today, but give them a break. I only know all this from a friend of a friend, and they probably should’ve been clearer or set different expectations. But I’m sure it’ll be ready soon.
I have an Audience Rewards ticket for tonight's 8pm preview I can't use because I'm sick . It's an amazing seat, orchestra M1. I'd sell it for $75, which is an amazing value given the points I used for it. DM me and I can make sure the ticket name is changed at the box office. Thanks guys :)
