I want an August Osage County revival.  Dec 17 2019, 01:47:29 PM

Stephen75 said: "That Arianda idea is so inspired. WHERE is she? Why is every Broadway producer not clammering to get her into their shows? She is one of the finest actresses of her time, and she hasn't been on stage in close to 5 years."

A friend told me that she was brought in to audition for The Band's Visit (possibly while it was being workshopped), but otherwise she's been doing film and TV. I'd love to see her back onstage!



Way Too Early 2020 Tony Predictions thread  Dec 16 2019, 11:06:19 AM

In London all six of the queens were jointly nominated for Supporting Actress. But the Oliviers are a lawless entity, and I'd be surprised to see that happen at the Tonys. (Though, of course, the original children in The Sound of Music were jointly nominated for Featured Actress and the Billys jointly won Lead Actor for Billy Elliot. But I think not having the Matildas in a competitive category kind of put the kibosh on joint nominations moving forward.)



The Inheritance and Housing Law  Dec 10 2019, 12:45:02 PM

Jordan Catalano said: "Oh that’s very interesting. I was always under the impression that if the original leaseholder died, the rent controlled apartment could not be passed on to anyone. There have been very high profile stories for years about people having to move when someone dies, so this plot point didn’t strike me as odd. But now I’m very interested to know what the real law is."

The NYC Rent Guidelines Board website has some information abou


The Inheritance and Housing Law  Dec 10 2019, 12:40:17 PM

I don't remember the specifics, but doesn't your name have to be on the lease for a certain period of time to inherit a rent-controlled apartment from a relative?



The Band's Visit tour cast  Nov 22 2019, 12:00:20 PM

I will say that race/ethnicity can be a contentious issue among Middle Eastern Americans in the United States. Most identify as white, but that might be from lacking another bucket that fits them better. If we are working under that thinking, that people from Egypt or Israel are white, then really it really should be a non-issue that Lenk (whose ancestry is in Eastern Europe), Kennedy and Dacal will have all played Dina.



The Band's Visit tour cast  Nov 22 2019, 10:45:46 AM

Pashacar said: "What many people find issue with is when actors from overrepresented groups take roles playing characters from marginalized or underrepresentedgroups they don't belong to. (For example a straight actor playing a gay character, or a white actor playing an Asianone.) With Jews aswell-represented in mainstream theater as they are, and Latinx people less so,I don't think this issue is at play here."

A straight actor playing a gay character is not


The Band's Visit tour cast  Nov 22 2019, 09:32:05 AM

ljay889 said: "Maybe Kennedy will be Sarah in Company on broadway? It begins rehearsals in January."

I thought the same thing, honestly. That would make her the third Band's Visit alum to join the cast.



Martin McDonagh's "Hangmen" will finally transfer to Broadway  Nov 18 2019, 10:53:44 AM

It's so nice that people are interested in seeing work from Phoebe Waller-Bridge's boyfriend!



Broadway stars singing with The Mormon Tabernacle Choir... why is this still accepted!  Nov 14 2019, 08:50:21 AM

OlBlueEyes said: "Kelli O’Hara was raised in an Irish Catholic family on a farm in rural Oklahoma. As a Catholic she was ostracized by the girls of the mainstream Protestant religions. She is the perfect ambassador to express disapproval of the Mormon positions without hostility. I would also be very interested in her views on Book of Mormon."

Mormonism is not a Protestant religion, so I'm not sure what any of this means.



Sutton Foster as Mama Rose in GYPSY  Oct 30 2019, 10:25:47 AM

Tyne Daly was only 43 when she played Rose, for the record.

I think that a part like Rose is challenging to cast as "age-appropriate" for several reasons. The role requires a gravitas that often comes with age. Not always, but often. Casting a younger Rose could also lead to problems when casting Dainty June and Louise. If your Rose is 37, for instance, would she look old enough to be a 29-year-old Louise's mother? If not, you'd have to cast a younger actress as Louis


Way Too Early 2020 Tony Predictions thread  Oct 29 2019, 04:06:18 PM

Is Kalukango Featured? I would've assumed she was Leading. Based on that thinking, I would've had Annie McNamara as a front runner in the Featured Actress category.



TKTS - Times Square vas Lincoln Center.  Oct 25 2019, 11:19:31 AM

I don't think you'll have an issue getting Beetlejuice at either booth. Before the Tonys, the Lincoln Center booth would sometimes have Hadestown and it wasn't necessarily available at Times Square. I'd recommend going to the Lincoln Center booth because the line isn't as long. 



LuPone on Sondheim, ALW, Laurents, Prince and more  Oct 23 2019, 01:50:39 PM

joevitus said: "If LuPone's bad attitude is the result of"fighting against men" in a sexist era, then why don't Bernadette Peters, Donna McKechnie,Ann Reinking, Christine Ebersole, or Elaine Paige--all of the same generation--have similar reputations as divas or egomaniacs? Funny if it's a generation-meets-gender issue, she's the only one showing the symptoms."

They're all different people who have had different experiences within the in


The Inheritance - Previews  Oct 23 2019, 10:08:55 AM

Wick3 said: "Roscoe said: "Dolly80 said:Please. SEE THE WHOLE PLAY. And everyone needs to get over the endless Howard’s End connection- it’s not trying to be a new version of it."

Hmmm. I seem to remember one of the cast, within the first few minutes of Part One, holding up a copy of the novel HOWARDS END and saying that he wanted to do his own version of it. Anybody else remember that? Just me?

Phone rings, door chimes, in comes COMPANY!  Oct 22 2019, 06:59:03 PM

benfox2 said: "GreatBroadwayFan said: "So excited for this revival but I've got a serious question:

Do we think that this revival will get professionally filmed and released on BroadwayHD, Fathom Events, DVD/Blu-Ray, etc? Considering that almost every single Sondheim musical does get ProShot (Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park with George, Into The Woods, Passion and of course Company) will they continue the tradition because I would love to be able to own the v


LuPone on Sondheim, ALW, Laurents, Prince and more  Oct 21 2019, 01:53:15 PM

poisonivy2 said: "Telling the NY company that the LA company was better isn't all that nice, but a lot of supervisors use that kind of old-school motivation, and Prince was definitely an old-school director."

Can I just point out that this kind of thinking is exactly why there are cultures of bullying or otherwise toxic treatment in a lot of industries? Saying that something is "old-school" doesn't mean that it wasn't bullying or could otherwise


Would COMPANY be an even better show if...  Oct 21 2019, 11:26:38 AM

Kad said: "I find it very hard to keep track of the names of the husbands."

Same, but I also know some of that is because their names are all way more similar than the women's names. There's a Harry, Larry, Peter AND Paul? 



re: Patti Lupone STOPPING GYPSY DURING PERFORMANCE  Oct 17 2019, 11:28:36 PM

BrodyFosse123 said: "Gillian Laub is/was the photographer and she has said LuPone apologized directly and was embarrassed afterwards though she’s never publicly addressed this. Gillian had been approved in advance by not only LuPone but also the production to photograph portions of “Rose’s Turn” for New York Magazine.

Apparently as legend now stands, LuPone must have been so focused and in character that she forgot the pre-authorized photos and went


The Inheritance - Previews  Oct 17 2019, 08:52:59 AM

I saw Part 1 last night (I was able to get a refund for my original Part 2 ticket after Monday's Part 1 performance was canceled - I'm seeing Part 2 tonight) and I thought it was fantastic. It's not as good as Angels in America and it's certainly not as good as Howards End, but I did find it really well-written and excellently acted. 

My biggest quibble is that we lose three wonderful female characters (Margaret and Helen Schlegel and Ruth Wilcox) in the transition


Traveling between Boston and NYC for shows  Oct 10 2019, 09:29:47 AM

I just went to look, because I realized that I'd been looking at NYC - WAS trips recently, and thought maybe I was totally off, but I'm looking at trips between Boston South Station and New York Penn for November 9th and there's a few $56 options. They're under the Saver column. Sometimes with the sales, Acela trains are in the $75-$85 range.
