I wish we could find that out ahead of time, haha. Don't know if I'm spinning my wheels on these for no reason. (Though the procrastination fodder is fantastic.)
Thank you, Whizzer and IntheBathroom! This sounds incredible, and now I am extra excited. I got choked up just thinking about what that curtain call must’ve been like. All three of them are superheroes. Andrea Martin too.
Re: cloth penises and bodily fluids... should I be regretting right now that I got tickets to go with my parents? How much white-knuckling are we talking about?

I was about to say that Bright Star would fight you on that, but then realized that this original comment was from 2015, lol.
Speaking of theremin, Be More Chill is the first show I've seen to list it in the orchestration, though I've only started paying close attention to orchestrations in the last 4-5 years, so it's probably not the actual first.
Oh man. I wanted to love this so much. I went in on Tuesday having read absolutely nothing about it... no reviews, no message boards, no word of mouth. And I usually find things to like in shows that others pan.
I did think the music was lovely. I wasn't crazy about one of the voices, but I'll listen to Spring Awakening all day and this was clearly reminiscent, so I was a fan. If they recorded it, I'd surely buy it as there are some songs I definitely want to hear aga

They produced the initial production of King David as well - don't know if that counts for what you're looking for.

Mike Barrett said: "Also any word on a Tampa announcement?"
Word on the street is March 18th. Waaaaay later than usual for Straz, but per a Facebook comment it sounds like they were waiting until the end of the Hamilton run. Don't know why, other than probably just not wanting to mix marketing messages.
Which Play/Muscial do you want revived next season? Feb 15

Oh god yes. This.
Also, I've said it on these boards before, but I'll use this space to re- throw out my suggestion of a Michael Arden-helmed Children of Eden. I think he would do such a gorgeous job with it.
Much as I love "Time to Dance" and the kid/ensemble focused numbers, I really wish they'd show off some of the funnier material from the egomaniac actors - I feel like people have no clue what this show is about... and that's so much of what it's about. And also what makes it unique.
They should do "It's Not About Me" or "Zazz" or "Changing Lives"...
I said this in a different thread, but I think Little Shop would be a great choice. The music is really accessible to a non-Broadway crowd, it's family friendly enough, and they could get some great talent.
...I wouldn't argue with Jake Gyllenhaal reprising his City Center role. He killed it.
JSquared2 said: "You can either goto Broadway Box, or just Google [NAME OF SHOW] discount code and you'll find them --- it's not that difficult."
There are many shows that only have direct mail codes, and the only place I've seen them is through searching these boards. And even then they're not always posted unless someone specifically asks for a show. I fully support having them in one place in one thread.
As a fan of Hair I'm pretty relieved, because I wouldn't have wanted a totally watered down version, but am also a little sad that more people won't discover it. I do think that Netflix (or HBO or Showtime) should create it uncensored with a killer vocal cast - that I'd be pumped about.
And even though it was misguided, I totally understand why they wanted to do shows like Rent and Hair, since JCS did so well. They're a great bridge for people
BritCrit said: "In addition to the extreme cold weather (I read that even Hamilton had to drop ticket prices to fill seats!) I think that the Super Bowl may have had a substantial effect, particularly on musicals with a large teen audience. It is probably no co-incidence that Mean Girls had one of the biggest drops of the week..."
...What am I missing that the Super Bowl would have an effect on anything, specifically with a teen audience??
dollyfan said: "I feel like Kelli, Beth, and Stephanie are the frontrunners for musical actress, Eva Noblezada also has a good chance for a nomination"
Yeah, I think it's a safe bet that she'll be nominated... and right now I think the fifth will be Rebecca Naomi Jones.
Though I dream of a world where Caitlin Kinnunen sneaks in there! And with the Beetlejuice show updates and the praise she got in DC, Sophia Anne Caruso could definitely be a wild
I haven't watched the episode yet, so I'm not sure how much they showed, but I happened to walk past the theatre (the Majestic) when they were filming, and took some pics of the fake Cats marquee & branding they had put up outside. They got so creative with the detail on these... I laughed out loud at the quote from "Bill Brantley."
