Almost, Maine  Aug 1 2018, 01:36:56 PM

I've spoken with several writers who don't even try to get productions done by major regionals or in NYC. They specifically write formulaic plays with large/adaptable casts to be done by high schools, especially for one-act competitions.



Riedel on Head Over Heels being on thin ice  Jul 29 2018, 10:53:48 PM

Logistically, though, is Belinda that big a draw? Keep in mind they'd need to pay her a "star" salary AND Rachel York hers (Jackie Hoffman was paid for every week of Whoopi's run in Xanadu). I can't imagine they'd make $2m  a week based on people wanting to hear her sing a line of a song here and there. 



NYT Offensive reviews  Jul 27 2018, 10:34:53 AM

I can 100% see how the "them" joke, referring to Peppermint's character in Head Over Heels (who is nonbianary plural) can be taken as offensive, but, forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the show make a joke about someone saying it too at the end? I remember a few jokes/reactions when the Oracle says this of a "huh? them? she?" nature.



Video is up!  Jul 26 2018, 04:33:52 PM

Not be pull an Arthur Laurents here, but it's MADAME Rose. She is never referred to as Mama Rose in the script.



LincTix for Mockingbird?  Jul 26 2018, 03:16:11 PM

I called their help line and the gentleman helping me seemed shocked they weren't on sale. He asked his manager and he said he has no idea if/when they'll be on sale.



"'FOSSE/VERDON' COMING TO FX"  Jul 24 2018, 07:06:12 PM

No offense meant, but based on this casting we can assume we won't see much...dancing, right?



What is the greatest 'Jerry Mitchell' Musical  Jul 22 2018, 08:56:14 PM

RIP Gary Beach  Jul 21 2018, 06:58:18 PM

Honestly what does it take to get lights dimmed now if actual career long Broadway actors and multiple Tony nominees and winners (Gary and Jan Maxwell) don't get the honor?? 



Diana Rigg Leaving My Fair Lady  Jul 18 2018, 01:01:09 PM

BREAKING: Ivo van Hove Will Direct Broadway Revival of WEST SIDE STORY  Jul 13 2018, 12:48:47 PM

"Van Hove is known for tinkering with the text of his revivals (and sometimes his directorial choices just flat-out ignore the text)."

This! I don't see how anyone can defend the choice in "The Crucible," a play specifically about accusing innocent people and creating false hysteria, to have the witches be literal and real by having them fly and perform "magic." It destroys the tragedy of it all when the accusers are actually right. 



Riedel on Straight White Men casting changes  Jul 13 2018, 12:19:33 PM



Spielberg's West Side Story  Jul 12 2018, 12:23:12 PM

I agree with BrodyFosse about these open call auditions, but I also think that, for stage productions at least, they can help creatives find understudies, replacements, tour casts, etc. Their Gloria was already cast, but I bet her understudy or potential replacements weren't and this probably gave them a few names to call back for those spots eventually.



Fun Home London  Jul 11 2018, 05:01:21 PM

It's obviously been years, but I recall the off-broadway production at the Public was staged like this.

Experiences With Condescending Theatre Goers  Jul 9 2018, 06:05:08 PM

Judy, back in my youth and student rush days (back when you had to get there at 6am and wait physically in line) I would HATE to be around those kids (even though I was a theatre student). The worst were these (pre-Glee) show choir kids who literally tried to remember arrangements and they sang for 3 straight hours. I was in hell, but I saw Sweeney Todd again, dangit.

Once later in the run of Next to Normal there was this (apparently infamous) girl who was in line behind me making

True story-- I was working front-of-house at the Helen Hayes and someone said they'd been to this theatre last year and saw Nicole Kidman IN Wicke


Experiences With Condescending Theatre Goers  Jul 9 2018, 12:57:29 PM

I've had the experience of basically being this person. Not the extreme of the Lin situation, but I've overheard people talking and saying something factually incorrect or complain about a detail in the show and I'll say "Oh, well, in the original it was that way too so it's not this director" and say things like that in a nice way. Sometimes the people say "Oooh, thanks! That makes me appreciate it more/better!" and sometimes they'll look at me like I

IdinaBellFoster said: "Benanti being out due to injury is very different, not sure why that’s being brought up.."

Benanti is a such a different case because she has had a "reputation" for missing a lot in every major musical role (expect Women on the Verge, I believe) and each time she's had actual medical reasons-- throat infections, injured spinal column (forgive me for not knowing the actual issue), pneumonia, and lastly, pregnancy/morning sick


THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA: The Musical  Jul 2 2018, 03:02:12 PM

Linney would be a superb choice, but I doubt she would even commit to a year's contract.

I don't know what the creative team is doing, but it would almost work better if Miranda was the only character who didn't sing.



Why wasn't SLAVA'S SNOWSHOW recorded for DVD?  Jun 29 2018, 04:37:21 PM

I worked front of house when this was at the Helen Hayes. The Slave cast were all very nice (if smelly and we think they slept in the theatre sometimes) and they threw great parties (as well as producer Joseph Gorden Levitt). BUT the show was so...odd. Very few people came out loving it or understanding it. 

My main memory is the Hayes cleaning crew and ushers basically killing themselves to keep the confetti inside the theatre. When a single piece would blow outside the NYPD woul
