The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 13 2019, 04:31:25 AM

teddy1996 said: "as much as i am excited for the in the heights movie, my main problem is that there aren’t enough black latinos in it. washington heights is mostly filled with afro latinos but most of the latinos in this movie are light skinned. "

Instead of Hollywood so white, now it's Hollywood so light-skinned Latino? I looked at my program from the first tour and the casting in the movie is on par with the stage version.

Interesting Mid-Show Mishaps  Dec 9 2019, 02:33:46 AM
During Harry Potter after the kids take the polyjuice potion to break into the ministry. Adult Harry started to leave the stage but suddenly stopped. He looked down, yanked at his robe then just scurried off leaving the robe on the floor. A small trapdoor opened up and a stagehand dressed all in black ran on the stage and grabbed it. It happened really fast but it was interesting because they do such a good job of hiding all the little secrets embedded in that stage.

If you follow Josh on Instagram, he often posts the soundcheck from each theater. It's usually the confrontation scene. I know it's not the same as seeing him l


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 12/1/19  Dec 5 2019, 03:10:49 AM

Auggie27 said: "I attended "The Inheritance" Part One today (Wed., 12/04) and the rear mezz was almost empty. I had a great seat in the fourth row center of the mezz (best place to see this apron-hugging show). I got it on TDF. The sides of my row were empty.This show, sadly, is in big trouble at the box office. Tell friends to buy seats now, not later. I don't see how it can stick around this winter. I liked the play and loved the production. It's unmissable for th

Alanis Morissette Announces Jagged Little Pill 25th-Anniversary Tour With Garbage & Liz Phair  Dec 5 2019, 03:04:39 AM
I don't think this will have a negative impact on the musical. The tour is only playing in a pretty limited amount of cities. She's having somewhat of a resurgence and younger people that have never heard of her are discovering her music through the show and the cast recording.

Jagged Little Pill Cast Recording  Nov 29 2019, 10:57:35 PM

Tom Kitt has really done some wonderful work arranging Alanis Morissette's music here. Cheers to the performers, musicians, producers and sound engineers that worked on this album because it sounds PHENOMENAL. 



Nick Cartell Les Mis Matinee?  Nov 27 2019, 04:14:00 AM
I saw the matinee of the tour last winter and the full cast (besides Eponine) was on. I would imagine he's performing the same schedule now especially because his run is over very soon. I've seen this show with multiple Valjeans (Hugh Panero, Peter Lockyear, Randal Keith) over the years and Nick is one of the best.

The Inheritance or Slave Play?  Nov 24 2019, 09:54:36 PM
I haven't seen Slave Play, but I have seen The Inheritance and thought it was spellbinding from beginning to end. The acting is on another planet, and if you're only seeing Part 1 then my advice is not to read anything because you run the risk of having the final scene spoiled.

Bad Theater Behavior  Nov 24 2019, 08:12:45 PM

OKBroadwayFan said: "Kea4 said: "OKBroadwayFan said: "Moulin Rouge also encouraged you to take pictures and video before the show starts. There are actors already on stage when they open the house."

When I saw MR in October, this was NOT true. The actors came out on stage maybe 15 minutes before the show started (not when the house was opened). You were allowed to take pictures before the actors came out but not after. The ushers kept telling pe

New B'way Gift Shop and Interior Tour  Nov 23 2019, 12:46:05 AM
I've been on a couple of these tours and I highly recommend them. Even if you think you know everything about Broadway you'll still learn some great stuff. The guides are very friendly, engaging, and more than happy to break script any time you have a question. If I remember right it's only about $35 (plus optional tip.. but really you should tip) for about 2 hours which in NY is a steal. You also get a bit of a discount at their kiosk after the tour :)

Moulin Rouge (pro) reviews  Nov 17 2019, 10:41:19 AM

BWAY Baby2 said: "I absolutely loved the show- thought it was inventive, sexy, contemporary and very creative- the most upbeat show ever. But, I would say- if you do not love contemporary music- if you really love symphonies and operas and really do not love more commercial sounds- I think you might hate this."

I have no problem with contemporary music. The reason I hated this show was that they didn't give any moment musically time to breathe. The "love son
