All I'm saying is that after seeing that, if I had tickets, I would not be excited to go.
Hello Dolly tour in September- will Buckley be in it? Mar 14

Like I said in another thread, Hello Dolly is coming to Toronto in March/April 2020. It is in our subscription season, and Toronto's producers never put a non-equity show in thier main season.
Betty isn't named or shown on any of the promos for the show, so I can only guess/assume that a new Dolly will be named, who will take over the second year of the tour.
I want to say that they wanted to make the "Desperately Seeking Susan" musical a Madonna jukebox show, but Madonna didn't want that, so they got Blondie instead.
I feel like Madonna is such a creative being that she would would either want to write he music for an original show, or I could see her directing something, to be honest.
The School of Rock parents were understudied by different people. Sometimes kids had a male and female parents, or sometimes they had gay dads, or gay moms...They didn't seem to mind about any of that.
Toronto has announced Hello Dolly for March/April 2020, and it uses a poster without Betty's name, and the production shot used is of It Takes A Woman. It seems that in the fall, a new leading lady will take on Dolly. The show would continue Equity (I assume). Toronto never includes Non-Equity in their subscription season.
Was we re watching this he other night, and thought about Susan Egan who was the young female lover in the LA tryout. Does anyone know why she didn't come to Broadway with the show?

I mean, if you were to count Spider Woman as a West End Musical, you also say it is a great Canadian musical by having its major first production in Toronto.
BroadwayNYC2 said: "Tina did announce that it's taking the Lunt.
They have not yet done so."
I am so sick and tired of hearing about what is going to go into the Lunt, when everyone is saying Tina...in actual fact, nowhere has it been officially announced it is taking the Lunt. I looked so i could shut someone down...but I stand corrected...BroadwayNYC2 is correct.
Was there any mention if the Dolby was going to alter their seating for these shows? I can't see The Band's Visit reaching that intimacy in that hanger.
HogansHero said: "There are multiple possible explanations. Different contract. Non-League producer. etc Give an example of a show you are talking about."
Oh. Hogan, i didn't really have anything in mind. I saw there was a workshop with Shoshanna Bean the other day on Instagram, and a few other things on social media about someone doing a reading, and I wasn't sure why this didn't fall under the strike.
Yes, he did a new Phantom, but its only touring the US. The Les Mis is everywhere, and the Miss Saigon got to the West End and tour...maybe Andrew Lloyd Webber has some power over the changes.
Of all that won Best Musical, I'd say "Gentleman's Guide". I missed the opportunity on tour, but friends and family went, and loved it!
I think the resistance against "The Band's Visit" was that in a season full of musicals based on popular movies, or jukebox bio musicals, "The Band's Visit" stood out as an artistic piece of theatre that if you wanted to turn your nose down on everything else, you can. I think that Tony's felt that
Is it bad that I looked at the Twitter photo earlier up in the thread, and saw no one who I had an issue with. Its not like Andrew Keenan Bolger is playing Benny
