Jordan Roth at the Met Ball  May 8 2018, 09:54:04 AM

Thanks for sharing the link to all of the photos. They show much more than the ones from the red carpet, which didn’t really show a full view from the front and the pants.  I hadn’t realized the ‘cape’ part around the shoulders was Fringe. Very cool and a bit of a catholic cardinal nod. 



What show do you have high hope for next season?  May 8 2018, 09:38:30 AM

Coming out of DC, both Beetlejuice and Dave have a decent chance of making it for next season. 



GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER cast announcement  May 4 2018, 10:58:38 PM

Marilu Henner???  Is she playing the mother?  



Pre-1920s Songs  May 4 2018, 10:49:13 PM

Check out some of the vaudeville songs from George M Cohan. Many of them are classic songs and shouldn't be too hard to find backing tracks.

Is Candide worth seeing  Apr 30 2018, 11:46:30 AM

It's at the Kennedy Center this month as a visiting production. http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/event/OSOSF  This particular production was most recently in LA, but the leads seem to be different in DC.  The show was directed by Zambello and seems to have been around for a few years now; with it's original iteration in 2015. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/candide-opera-1079900

Audition Song/Monologue HELP  Apr 27 2018, 01:10:26 PM

It would be helpful if you gave folks an idea for which shows you're auditioning.  The style of the music in the show should help lead you to making good audition song choices.  



LSOH Kennedy Center  Apr 17 2018, 11:18:10 AM

They haven't announced the cast for June's "How to Succeed" and the tickets have been on sale for a LONG time.  Little shop is way way way too far away for casting announcements.  



Signature Theatre - DC  Apr 13 2018, 10:34:14 AM
They have already held auditions for some of their productions for the season and thus the info is out there. All I can remember at the moment is Billy Elliot is November - January.

Unlike NYC, which has a large tourist base, the audience for CFA in DC would consist largely of locals, who are (I think justifiably) not that interested in the 9/11 musical. (And yes, I've seen it.)"

The performance I saw at Ford’s got an incredibly positive response; with audiences on their feet cheering / clapping along with the band on the final


How do I even attempt to audition?  Apr 8 2018, 10:25:53 AM

You could start by learning about educational opportunities around you.  There are lots of groups that offer master classes and workshops for young artists.  Many colleges offer camps and "intensives" over the summer months.  Find every opportunity to perform / audition in your home town and surrounding communities.  Take dance classes and voice lessons so you can be a true triple threat.  Lay the ground work for your passion so when you are old enough to ap

Empire Records becoming a musical  Apr 6 2018, 04:07:11 PM

While I am pretty weary of movies becoming musical fodder, I'm honestly excited by this one....and it actually makes sense since so much of the movie is about the kids' passion for music.  I hope they don't screw it up!  Empire Records

I'm confused by this comment?  Maybe I'm reading the numbers wrong, but Carousel only brought in 66% of it's gross potential.  This only bettered three other musicals and was behind SpongeBob, Once on this Island and Bronx tale.  I would have thought spring break week would have been stronger for a we


Kennedy Center 2018-2019???  Mar 28 2018, 11:03:33 AM

Is telecharge the best place to buy broadway tickets?  Mar 25 2018, 08:26:25 PM

playbill.com and theatremania.com both offer discount codes for many shows....but they are then purchased THRU telecharge / ticketmaster using that code.  Finding your discounts in this manner allows you to choose your seats rather than gambling on the seats chosen for you with TodayTix, Goldstar or TKTS.  



Waitress or Mean Girls?  Mar 15 2018, 02:46:00 PM

frapp2latte2 said: "Thanks for chiming in, guys!

You think it would be worth to pay full priced tickets for either show? Most probably around $169 +fees (Ticketmaster). I've checked TodayTIX and their rates aren't much different plus if I'm not mistaken you won't know which exact seats you'll be getting until after you've bought your tickets. Any other place where you can get good seats and discounted rates?

If $$$ is an issue, you


Waitress or Mean Girls?  Mar 15 2018, 08:51:14 AM

As someone who has actually seen both Mean Girls and Waitress (with a 20something daughter), I'd go with Mean Girls.   My daughter definitely preferred it over Waitress.  So few people have seen Mean Girls it's really a hard question to answer.
