Emphasis on theatre will try based on availability. I'd have to think the chances of the theater at the moment having a spare seat to essentially give up for a past-dated is very slim for the foreseeable future. So I don't really see the "value" yet.
qolbinau, I don't think they are intentionally blocking anyone out of the casting, but I'm sure they had something in mind, at least at the start. And remember that poster here who couldn't wrap their head around the the Jewish character being replaced by a person of color?
Anyway, had to go back a bit to remember where I first heard about the colorblind casting, turns out it was March 2018:
"Stacey Mindich is the producer who commissioned Pasek and Paul to
If I remember correctly from a long time ago, they said if it ever went to London, it would be race-blind casting, which would be exciting. (It seems to be so much easier for the Brits to wrap their heads around it.)

But we know there's a lot of people who don't put them on silent. And depending on your phone the alert sound is a lot longer than a typical notification."
If this is meant to be a test of a national emergency system, which from what I understand will be an audio and vibration message, I wonder if it's meant to override any phone settings. Either way, this is defin
If I was the The Broadway League I'd tell all the shows to hold their matinee curtains until 2:19 PM. You know half the audiences' phones are going to go off.

Closing in early April will also give them a chance to get a boost from Spring Break and Easter Break tourism, especially groups. It may also give them a chance to extend an extra two weeks to Easter Weekend, where shows can close with hig
I love the idea of Moulin Rouge! going to the Hirschfeld but I can't imagine they'd be able to fit all the scenic elements outside the proscenium into that theatre.

Jennifer Hudson is too busy being a professional judge on The Voice US and UK.
To answer the original question, as many times as I've seen it I can tell you it's not that quick all the time. Sometimes it's so slow the joke dies. *cough AFW cough*
Ten years since the last one and simultaneous revivals in on both sides of the Pond, is this like performance rights thing, or just a crazy coincidence?
How is this any of sort of surprise. I've known of theatre owners that use TM that offer the producers a cut of their own reseller tickets to entice them to book the show in their theatre. You don't think Lin isn't getting a cut of Hammy's reseller ticketing?
mamaleh said: "What was problematic for me was the show's publicizing that it was by the playwright of ONE MAN TWO GUVNORS. I probably shouldn't have expected something on that superior level, but I did, which resulted in my being somewhat disappointed at what I saw on stage. It was mildly funny but I was hoping for more physical comedy and a performance or two comparable to the James Corden-level in the earlier show, probably the most laugh-inducing piece I've ever seen
