I had quite a time this morning trying to get them for both shows. Their website has the code as something like FACCESS20 which kept showing seats but not letting me select them then saying sold out. I tweeted at roundabout and finally got a response that the usual ACCESS10 code worked and was able to grab them. By that point I had already gotten a HIPTIX but I called and they were able to refund me for that.
I know Nick Cearley and Lauren Molina (The Skivvies) are very mad about this tour because the CincyPlay production was their concept. I can easily see how someone saw/heard about that production and took inspiration from the idea, but ultimately I agree actor/musician isn't exactly a new or original concept.

I feel the same, but I can also see it being someone's dream role and saying yeah I'm around for 3 weeks, why not? I'm not saying Gyllenhaal star level, but a Ben Platt or Noah Galvin name.

Sometimes it just comes down to good old fashioned money. You can want to reprise a role and perform on broadway but you're also moving your life (possibly away from spouses or children) for six months to a year to a diffe

I completely believed they were their characters and it feels like they're in my heart forever. When I saw it I thought Burnap was a lock for supporting actor win and he wasn't even nominated so I hope regardless of where he's placed he earns a nomination, along with Soller and Hilton.
Sam Levine is the only one who gets fully naked. You see Andrew Burnap in a speedo as well as another member or two of the boys, but not sure which of the new actors it is who plays the son/agent/trainer/dealer track.
I believe Equity has to provide a hotel/accommodation with a kitchen in the room as well. My non-equity friend was doing a show with some Equity members in the cast and as a result they all got mini suites for their month-long run as a result. Some touring/regional venues have "dorms" that meet Equity standards and those are sometimes offered to cast/crew depending. I follow some actors on Instagram who are on tours and most seem to get AirBnBs these days. I know some people wh
I called this casting and am extremely excited for all those reprising their performances. The more I've thought about them over the past year the more I've realized how truly amazing they all were in very different ways. The only one I questioned if they'd transfer was Paul Hilton, who was glorious, but assumed they'd get someone like Dylan Baker to take the role.
I knew we'd get a theatre-name actress and not a big star (Angela/Julie/Meryl) from the go. It'

You can announce most of the cast and then do a 2nd or 3rd announcement later one for more press. Like today say "Kyle, Hickey, etc etc etc" (whoe
Matthew Lopez posted two photos on instagram today of the first day of rehearsal. Just a copy of Howards End and a photo of a sign with the artwork saying "rehearsal in progress."
Strange they're literally rehearsing and there's not a single cast announcement. What could they possibly be waiting on?
Part 1 is definitely a solid and emotional ending, but it's clearly not the end of the overall large story. I don't think any characters at that point have a "resolved" ending. I don't think you could leave it thinking it was the end like you hear about people leaving during Into the Wood's intermission thinking it's over. Not spoilery but you're hit with a character finally getting to see a house he's heard about and another emotional punch so *technical
I assume it was because part 1 sold a lot better on the West End so they're front loading performances. I assume if sales go well for both parts they'll make it more even if a new block of tickets goes on sale. A lot of people don't want to see a 7+ hour show but they'll see part one and still be able to say they saw it. Some people who said they loved it in London only saw part 1. There is more demand for that part currently. I believe the revival of Angels (both broadway and
The problem is who Andy is shady to. Nicki Minaj actually called him on on air that he was asking her sexual/personal questions in plead the fifth but gave Taylor Swift "what color do you hate?" level questions. He'll ask a D-list celeb something gross but his bff Sarah Jessica Parker gets "what shoe was your favorite on sex and the city?"
John Cena was on recently talking about his brother and he was talking about supporting him being gay he s
My guess is she was asking for too much in negotiations or didn't want to do all eight or something. There is ZERO way she'd be any worse vocally than Nene/Wendy Willams/Sophia Vergarra and others I'm blanking on but know were rough.
Obviously this isn't that reliable and probably changes daily on the whims of the actor/equity/producers/etc but I've had a few actor friends (various ages/types/sexes) tell me they've gone in for it and essentially told it's just for a cover because "the British actor/actress is coming over."

This happened about 10 months into the run of the show, and they re-choreographedthis sequence to highlight Stemp's talent. (Not sure if Barnaby or Minnie do the solo on the tour)."
Someone in the cast told me (vaguely) that they also rehearsed "more tapping for Bernadette" somewhere in the show but I saw h
