Profile for Phantom of London

It used to be far more common to move shows, than it is now, especially to the Broadway Theatre, which is one of the largest theatres on Broadway and the the biggest house in the Shubert Organization portfolio.

South Pacific transferred from the Majestic.

The Most Happy Fella transferred from the Imperial.

The Music Man transferred from the Majestic.

Great to see the appointment is a BAME Woman. Following what the Guardian has done with Arifa Akbar.

There you have the 2 most powerful critics in the world.

Only in America, I guess..."

No, as it says, your insurance will pay the doctor and if you have no insurance the government will. Pretty standard scheme for all shots; health care professionals do not work for their health, no pun intended.

@Phantom that's a pretty scary misunderstanding of the vaccine protocol. Maybe wrap you

Why not?

Not everyone has to be vaccinated to re-open only people who are in the front line or at risk. You have a programme that vaccinate all these people QUICKLY and FREE, once completed you can re-open and collect all those sales and payroll taxes.

I am not sure in the US if the vaccine will be free or payed for by insurance? Bu being done free, would be outweighed by collecting taxes earlier.

Once the new vaccine has been given to Healthcare Professionals and Educators then Seniors and the Vulnerable. People who are not at risk i.e. the ones I didn’t list, you can vaccinate whilst the economy is open.

The only inertia that is slowing things down, is what is happening in Washington D.C.

A quick rollout to people at risk from Covid, will be very cost effective as you can start collecting taxes again. So why not open theatre in April/May with off Broadway and mayb

Stagehands do get paid well and the reason shouldn’t be about life and death, which unfortunately in this case was fatal.

We all know Health and Safety and can be laborious, for this reason it is often ignored, but basic safety like wearing hard hats and steel cap boots is simple, working at heights you should be secured to something, as ghostlight2 suggested.

We have all burnt ourselves put something in and out of the oven. but ultimately it is 100% possible to do this wi

DAME said: "Thank you all for your kind words. My husband was discharged yesterday. From the time they told him he was going home to the time they brought him out it was 5 hours. Hospitals are slammed right now .Just sitting in my car waiting and seeing the comings and goings was crazy.


Someone in the thread asked if we could have caught this on a plane. We haven't been on a plane in over-a year. Palm Springs is a two hour drive from Los Angeles.

Glad to be reading that it seems the ending is positive. Wishing you both the best.

I know you have been very careful with mask and your hygiene which is all good. Do you think you might of caught Covid on the flight from California to Florida?

HogansHero said: "Fosse76 said: "ghostlight2 said: "Alex, the news report says he died at the hospital."

Actually, the article stated he was pronounced dead at the hospital. That doesn't mean he didn't die on the scene. Generally, only a physician or nurse can pronounce a death (it varies by state). Since they usually don't get dispatched to the scene, the pronouncement doesn't happen until they arrive at the hospital.

Renovation for the Cory Theatre, what are they waiting for fast track it and get on with it, no better time than present to do big renovations.

Saying of which the Nederlander Group must be rubbing their hands at the timing they chose to do major renovations on the Palace.

Terrible news.

If Broadway cannot come back in the fall 2021, what then? Do you set another date that is likely not to be fulfilled? Or do you draw the line in the sand and say comeback with a social distanced audience? Even if Broadway did open up later next year, it will be a struggle to sell many seats.

The virus is going to get worse, there is no herd immunity because you can get re-infected.

However my point being if Broadway did comeback with a limited audience this would be a great

Phantom of London said: "If Broadway does come back in a not meaningful way i.e. social distanced performances, then Lungs would be the perfect play, as would be Yerma and give Billie Piper a short at the Tony, which she richly deserves to win."

No one knows how and when theatre is coming back. We do not know how theatre will come back, whether it is distanced audience or a non distanced audience, that is down to Andrew Cuomo and the theatre operators. If the go

If Broadway does come back in a not meaningful way i.e. social distanced performances, then Lungs would be the perfect play, as would be Yerma and give Billie Piper a short at the Tony, which she richly deserves to win.

It is hardly Aaron's fault that he was the only one to get nominated in this very strange year, it shouldn't go against him. The award is still competitive even though he is the only one nominated and by virtual he shut others out from being nominated as they didn't meet the criteria of being good enough.

All came from the most famous stage in the world and that is the London Palladium.
