Kiss of the Spiderwoman is not the Audra project with potential to come in this season. It is a limited run of Frankie and Johnny with Michael Shannon.
I know someone with Girl From the North Country said they already had talks with a Broadway theater owner and had one lined up. But its unclear if that will be for this current season or happen in the fall.
The latest rumors indicated that Hillary and Clinton is ready to take CITS after OOTI announces closing (though
I desperately wanted to like this, but thought it was mostly a mess. There are so many directorial choices that seem to scream "Im SAYING something with this choice!" but I have no idea what it was that he was trying to say.
Speaking of sound, that's the biggest issue with the production. In a different space the non-mic'd actors wouldn't be a problem. But here everything is sucked into the ceiling. I had a couple people in my group who had never seen the sh
@Caye2 There is zero correlation between how long you've been a TDF member and where your seats are located. TDF provides a will call list to each box office and it is up to the box office as to how the seats are pulled. It is luck of the draw really.
Someone could get "better" TDF seats for any number of reasons. Perhaps a group of 3 tickets become available in center orchestra b/c of a cancellation or house seat going unused. Rather than let it go dead, the box of
Harry Potters dip is likely due to an abundance of dynamically priced premium seats, because even with the "loss" they are still over 100% gross potential.
As for Head Over Heels, I remember someone posted in a different thread that an investor dumped a bunch of money in to keep it afloat. Does anyone remember which thread that was in? That would make sense. I actually enjoyed the show quite a bit. Its a creative way to do a jukebox musical, entertaining, and great to s
In terms of the co-star I mentioned...he was Tony nominated for his most recent Broadway role. He won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award but ultimately lost at the Tonys.
I wish it included more pictures, but alas. One cool feature that might be difficult to see here: there is a glass floor and window structure that juts out away from the facade. So the columns of&
She is not a major character (doesn't even get a proper name beyond "Balloon Lady". And from previous reports, I believe she only appears in the one sequence/number showcased. I would guess that's why she isn't listed with the main cast in the trailer. Matter of billing.
Times Square Theatre? Sep 15

The space is being used for a massive retail experience. It’s going to be multiple floors, and they will actually be building up from the pre-existing building. The new portion/floors that they are building up are for a beautiful looking restaurant and rooftop bar area. The design is gorgeous, as it looks like a modern glass-based design is sprouting out from the theatre architecture. The stage area, proscenium, etc will be preserved and incorporated in the design.
Strangely enough, after recently responding to this thread I actually just saw the latest concept art for the space. I have to say it looks fabulous. The facade and proscenium will be used in really interesting ways, and the overall design is going to incorporate the historic architecture with more modern design elements. If they pull off what is depicted in these drawings, its going to be a stunning building.
Unfortunately there is no possible way to give the Times Square Theatre access to 43rd Street without completely reconstructing the Lyric. The Lyric Theatre was actually made out of two old theatres, and when they combined them it landlocked the Times Square Theatre onto 42nd st. And landlocked it will stay.
Broadway 4D fell through after the producer's sexual harassment issues. Shame that no one else took up the idea b/c its a great option for the space. But the building fina
I'm very skeptical of that Oscar claim. Rudin is no stranger to awards season and he knows you have to get out in front of it. Venice and Telluride are happening this week, and after those festivals finish, consensus will start to form around who are the frontrunners in each Oscar category. Pundits are already weighing in, Gold Derby has their prediction center open, the season has already begun (with Glenn Close being the early frontrunner for Lead Actress). A theatrical release would ne
Someone may know better than I, but is the debt from past productions included in reported budgets only from full mountings of the show? While the most recent production was non-profit, Davenport has been working on this show for years. I remember him talking about it at an event I attended back in 2011 when he was calling it "Garage Band." So maybe the 12.5 million includes the many costs for workshops and such that they've incurred over close to a decade of work?
@Sonni892 We are currently in the middle of the Spring Road Conference. Which means there are a ton of out of town Tony voters in the city catching the nominated shows. Everyone is going to try and fill the house as much as possible this week. I suspect they kept you on the side but closer to the front mezz b/c there were probably Tony voters in the front mezz and they wanted the space around them to feel as full as possible. This week is probably not the best week to get lucky with amazing T
When I saw him early in the run he was a standout and I personally would have nominated him. We will never know why the nominators do or dont nominate a performer. I will point out, for those who have said he was vocally struggling or not as engaged lately, that he has had 2 bouts of strep throat during the past couple months. There have been a couple sicknesses that have spread through the OOTI cast, and from social media it seems Alex caught it twice. Since vocal power is a huge part of the
All three actors from "The Children" are nominated. Francesca Annis, Ron Cook, and Deborah Findlay did remarkable work imo. I'm worried that the play flew way too under the radar (curse you and you lack of advertising MTC!) for any of this trio to get nominated, but Findlay in particular gave one of my favorite performances of the year.
