It's one of the smallest theaters on Broadway. More often than not, musicals cost a lot more to put on than plays. Smaller theater= less tickets sold= much harder to turn a profit. That's why smaller, limited run plays have seem to occupy it for the better part of the last 10 years. 

Cats. 

Not the musical, just a bunch of feral cats taking up a new home in a deserted theater.

If you go on the Hudson Theatre's website, it notes that the production will now take place from March 19- July 18, 2021. Happy to see that they are still trying to make this happen!

Hamilton in LA now canceled through 9/6.

Yeah, I'm pretty resigned to the fact that it's not happening. Would certainly love to be wrong!

Looks like they released their yearly guessing game. The only one I'm 100% sure of is the one they already announced!

The picture on the bottom left is Aida. Eye-Eat-A= Aida

Any guesses on the other 3? Also, only 4? Will there be one more announced??

Can always rely on Riedel to spill the tea, but think the real story here is that they're looking at the Barrymore??

No problem! Still looks to be plenty of tickets available, no idea if that will stay until Tuesday, but doesn't look like an instant sell out.

It's a bit confusing, but today is AMEX pre-sale. I was able to get tix without a problem. There still looks to be plenty available. The trick is you need to put in the code "AXPEVENT" into the promo code slot, and that opens everything up. Then you would obviously need to use an AMEX card. Tix ranged from $45-$250 for a Saturday night. Was able to get a $65 ticket for full view in the rear orchestra (partial view in rear orchestra was $52).

Hope this helps!

Absolutely no reason he should be here. After seeing the show, he leaves little to no effect. Sure, he can dance, but singing and acting... not so much. Sure, this is a results oriented way of thinking, but I really don't get how they thought we NEED him despite the bad press we know we'll get.

Was at the show tonight and as for the curtain call, it was one big bow by the entire cast. Then Amar took a tiny step forward as an individual bow and was then succeeded by the other pr

GreasedLightning, here is what I wrote in the other thread:

As for the curtain call, it was one big bow by the entire cast. Then Amar took a tiny step forward as an individual bow and was then succeeded by the other principals. It took a second to realize that he even stepped forward, so booing was not heard at all. I think if he came out for a solo bow, it would be a bit of a different story.

OK, maybe I wasn't in the minority as I thought initially! I'm absolutely fascinated to see how this evolves throughout previews. Have not stopped thinking about it since leaving the theater about 90 min ago.

I was using what was in the Playbill and it was listed as "Taunting", so that is why I used the verbiage. What is seen in the show is absolutely rape, really no way around that. Very disturbing and I'm betting stays in.

Cool is all new choreography (as is the whole show). No finger snapping or anything like that in sight. 

The taunting scene was VERY realistic. I did see a few people leave following it. Was in the mid orchestra on the right side, for reference.

BJR, I think I liked it a bit more than you. JBroadway, I'm much more in agreement with your assessment.

BJR, I actually felt the OPPOSITE about the cut material. I think putting I Feel Pretty back in would really stop the show a bit and upset the tone of the show. I just don't feel like it would fit in well. A Somewhere ballet could be interesting, but the state the stage is in after the rumble, I imagine it would be quite dangerous physically.
