Michael Jackson musical...new documentary  Mar 6 2019, 09:39:22 AM

People need to understand they are crossing a line here. You can't just take down shows because someone screams something in a believable way.If we go down this road we can tear apart any career or legacy of choice. Or competitorfor that matter.
 

People also need to understand that this is a business, in which in fact, you CAN take down shows because of bad press. That's how shows stop running and close. If you really like Michael Jackson in light of DECADES

There Is A Child from Giant

In my opinion no concert on this premise would be complete today without these points of view. 



Oscars set - the real host  Feb 25 2019, 11:25:12 PM

to anyone who can't go up stairs. What happens the year someone who wins an oscar has a broken leg and can't get on stage on live television to accept their award? Would they just wait for a handicapped nominee to decide on accessibility?



Oscars set - the real host  Feb 25 2019, 10:46:54 PM

I thought I liked it but now I can't see past the trump's hair comparison!

I do like how other examples show specific host areas to stand in, it gives it a sense of purpose. 

I do feel like though I get tired of all of this stair business, what's wrong with a ramp? Doesn't seem very accessible. 



Company London  Feb 25 2019, 10:44:41 PM

I do wonder whether it will transfer at all. Marianne has another production set to happen and I would hate for the momentum drop to make this a harder sell to investors in a year. I also wonder if Rosalie being a mom would greatly deter her from crossing the pond with the production. As good as her reviews are, the regular American public are still more likely to show up with Anne Hathaway in the title role than with Rosalie. 



Women as Understudies for Male Roles?  Feb 25 2019, 10:41:30 PM

I believe you are correct. The smaller of the two roles, Bun Foo, understudied his brother Ching Ho. Darren Lee then also understudied both brothers and finally Joann M. Hunter understudied Bun Foo. 



Hamilton changes venues in Puerto Rico. Fear of protests and lack of police  Dec 25 2018, 08:16:09 AM

It sounds like the school wasn't totally upfront as to the nature of the protests. It's not even as if the protests are about Lin, but if the school has been cutting budgets while making this possible the optics aren't great for them. My guess is as more protests were heard of and organized, coupled with the police unable to provide protection inside the campus, led to the change. 



Adam Pascal joining Pretty Woman... for one week?!?  Dec 18 2018, 10:05:12 AM

It makes sense. Losing a start for a week in January could turn away people. It's easier to just have Adam step in and perhaps make one week's worth of Adam fans have a reason to see the show in a very lean month. 



revised COMPANY in West End  Sep 12 2018, 07:59:37 PM

Cant wait to hear back from everyone! This will surely tie us all over until the Sondheim/Ives show shows itself again!



Amar Ramasar (Jigger in CAROUSEL) suspended from NYCB over  Aug 29 2018, 05:43:21 PM

I also don't think it's a care of innocent until proven guilty. Someone clearly was found guilty because they're being punished. I highly doubt a company with a dearth of male dancers and currently trying to distance themselves from scandal would do this on a whim. 



Everybodys Talking About Jamie transfer?  Jul 11 2018, 11:59:09 AM

I just don't see the show finding it's place amongst everything else Broadway has to offer. It's just not there yet. 



Black Glinda  Jun 7 2018, 12:35:49 AM

Dave28282 said: "Some people on here clearly haven't read or understood my post.

Clearly this girl was better than anyone else auditioning. Clearly all the other girls auditioning were not as good as her. She was clearly so much better, that they decided to overlook the story a bit.

That's cool. It's not the best option, but what can you do if no one else was as good as her?

She got the part and I'm happy and supportive for every perso


Max and Elsa songs:  Oct 16 2017, 06:39:11 PM

I love both of those songs, and when I did the show we kept them in. But the show is always a billion hours long. Specially for a show that kids want to go to, I can see why theaters would make the unfortunate decision to cut them. 

I will say we did get to add I  Have Confidence as well as use Something Good. 



What is it with runtimes?  Oct 16 2017, 06:35:49 PM

as an usher:

sometimes the time she shows write online and so on is wrong, and we do what we can to give you an accurate time you'll be out by.

no one has ever in my three years of working off-broadway asked me to lie about a run time. 

The 90 minute trap is real. I once worked a first preview of a play that said it was 90 minutes and evened 72 minutes in. I've never run to open doors so fast in my life. 

 



How does one become an usher?  Sep 26 2017, 06:21:53 PM

Not to rain on anyone's parade who thinks ushers just get to watch the show, but there's a lot of that time making sure the glint in row D isn't a phone light. Maybe it's the cup for their drink, or it's their glasses. Maybe the three drunks in the mezzanine won't shut up during the show. Say an actor saw a phone out and told stage management. You've now got to babysit the dude in B105 just in case it comes out again,

Most ushers I know have second jobs. &nb


1984 publicity stunt  Jun 22 2017, 08:08:51 PM

I see it as good insurance. Having worked for Avenue Q as front of house we try to make sure those coming with children who seem to be under 13 know what they're getting into. Most do but there are a few who once in a while leave very angry or decide to not come back after intermission because of the songs in act one. As for 1984, it sounds graphic enough from what my friends have told me that I don't blame them for cutting off the problem. 



2017 TONY Awards Performances  Jun 8 2017, 11:59:31 AM

To be fair, performing at the Tonys costs a lot of money for a show, and Anastasia already has strong word of mouth and a good advance even with the Tony mess. It probably makes sense not to bother with it. They could record another video like the one's they've already done and go viral within their demographic for much less money.  



BC/EFA fundraising 'twice a year'  Apr 14 2017, 02:50:12 PM

I just wonder why the OP seems bothered by the fact that there always seems to be fundraising going on. Does it offend you? 



GROUNDHOG DAY Previews  Mar 22 2017, 04:06:34 AM

I was there last night and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The show did feel long but I do think the repetition of scenes doesn't help that case. If I were to cut anything I'd go for the doctor song (totally superfluous, if anything you can keep Josh Lamon's part and cut the rest) and tighten up the car chase in the truck song. I think those who say act 1 and 2 are very different are correct, and if anything they  need to just get things to move a little faster in act one. We all
