Like most threads that go off the rails, it is usually prompted by execution. Like, if you had posted this in the Weekly Grosses thread, no one would have blinked. But to start a new thread about an ongoing discussion, to highlight a data point that is in line with previous discussion, it is always going to bring additional

Almost all shows have an alternate schedule for Thanksgiving week, which is why it’s made it harder to schedule. For example, many shows have two shows on Black Friday but some just ha

That's more an availability issue, no? I mean, I paid $69 for Groff seats and $149 for Glick seats, both side aisles. There were still $119 seats further back for the day I'm seeing Glick, but f

Is it? I mean, the prices seem in line with Rock of Ages, with a $119 top price for a regular seat, and $149 premiums.Jersey boys has a top price of $109 with a premium price of $159. I mean, sure, if you compare it to some Off-Broadway, it is pricy, but not among the tier in which it is playing. And, on top of that, they are selling well at those prices, compared to some other shows with discounts,

Why would a show do it if their advance sales were solid and they didn't need to? I think it is always linked to keeping the show going...
Stunt casting isn't necessarily a bad thing, but one would hope Sugg can actually act, sing, or dance (pick two). Just because he hasn't done these things before doesn't mean he can't, and he was on a dance competition, although I'm not sure if that proved or disproved his prowess.

While both have primarily been in ensemble roles, at this point in their career, I feel as if they are more recognizable talents than your average ensemble member. They both have such long resumes, it wouldn’t be unrealistic that they’d get more money just because of the experience they have."
Why would having more experience be an asset? If someone with less experience

They probably had a certain amount of time to air it and, after that date, it came down. Why would CBS pull a video on which they were earning ad revenue for some nonsensical reason? The nominees probably all had one contract, and shows that bou
