I’m pretty sure I was introduced to Barbara and her singular talents through this board. I’ve long loved everything I could find of her in the Apple Tree, but had never seen that utterly delightful clip posted above from On A Clear Day before. She was a one of a kind marvel. Sad day today.
Anyone have an extra ticket for the last Hello Donna! tonight? Aug 20

Hoping for something semi-affordable for tonight if anyone can scrounge one up! Tried the box office and they were out of rush, and what re-sellers are showing is just out of my budget. Let me know! Thanks guys.
NHow Feasible is a Caroline, or Change Transfer?? Aug 2

I think it is pretty challenging throughout the show. There are tons of rangy moments requiring all parts of her voice and regular changes of dynamic through the whole opening, the dotty and caroline section, gonna pass me a law section, not to mention the herculean task of getting through Lot’s Wife. It’s an incredible, but very demanding role, in my opinion.

Do we know much about the visual concept for this? Onstage, the show is all about the dancing. If they’re going for motion capture, as has been discussed, what’s the body language?
People stand on two legs, cats don’t. I’m trying to visualize literal cats dancing around on two legs doing faux-feline balletic movement.
And if they’re just being singing cats and not dancing, then what’s the point? Besides Memory, the score doesn’t really scream out park and meow.

I was also one of the ones with the discounted tickets for tomorrow afternoon. Called this morning and was on hold for a bit, but once I got someone, it was seamless and quick and she got me re-booked for the same price. Seeing it on tuesday! VERY excited (and relieved).
Douglas Sills was tremendous in this role, and his (thrilling) singing of this score is still one of my all-time favorite male vocal performances on Broadway. I used to listen to this recording ad nauseam in high school, so I have a pretty soft spot for this score. Can’t wait for this!
Well, you’d imagine Kiss Me, Kate is going in there in the spring, so perhaps they figured this would be a good way to fill the theater in the interim if the other shows in their season are better suited to their other spaces.
In my opinion, the casting of a black Glinda creates the opportunity to highlight additional shade and nuance to the character. In this situation Glinda (and presumably, her family) is a girl who has assimilated herself into the upper classes by sheer force of personality and determination and has done whatever is needed to change herself in the process (by dyeing her hair blonde, for example). Now, at Shiz, she meets someone who, in refusing to change who she is

Anyone try the rush this morning for McPhee’s first performance?
Has performing a number on the Tony telecast ever REALLY saved a struggling show? Apr 4
2018, 11:43:44 AM
I agree with Capn, I think the largest impact really is in drumming up future interest. I remember watching tony award telecasts in high school, and the exposure on the show was my first introduction to many shows. Shows that later would rank among my favorites, and to eventual productions of which, I would later buy tickets to.
I’m sure there were/are many others like me. The immediate impact on a currently running production might be minimal, but the exposure really helps future prod
If you come upon an empty car, especially any time during regular traveling hours, there’s a reason it’s empty. And there’s usually a potent smell leftover from whatever that reason is.

I live in New York, but I adore this show so much, so I bought a ticket to see the Signature version on my way back from a trip out west. On my plane ride from CA to DC I started to get horribly sick, then had hours of plane delays, and once I finally landed in DC I was so weak, I went straight to my hotel and slept for like 15 hours and had to MISS the show. My devastation is still real. So, I really hope this happens!
And Concierge, it’s the score the score the score. Grand, sweeping
So, I saw on Instagram that they had a truck shooting searchlights into the sky in front of the theater. Anyone see it? I’m sure THAT’LL turn business around.

I was there last night and I have to agree with the opinions thus far. It was stunning. Complimented by glorious singing and some of the most thrilling ballets in some time. It just worked. When it was meant to be joyous, it was. Thrilling, funny, emotional? It was was was.
Such a pleasure to hear Wilson sing again, god his voice is rich. And I agree with a previous poster, his warm naturalism played off the kooky Scots so well.
