Rags Overture??  Dec 1 2019, 11:13:24 AM

It seems like there is a move to revise and tighten the show.  I saw it a few weeks ago at George Mason University in Virginia.  Since I'd never seen the original I have no idea how much this new iteration differs from the original.  The article indicates they are hoping for a London production in the near future. https://dcmetrotheat

A Chorus Line - Signature Theatre  Nov 5 2019, 12:23:07 AM
Signature also has great $25 student tickets. Very seldom do I pay full fare for a ticket there...as long as I plan ahead. Additionally they have day-of rush tickets too. However I am NOT a fan of their bar stool seats on the back row of the balcony.

Haven't the rights always been available, even during the Broadway run? I thought I read somewhere that the producers kept them available and there's even been regional productions while it was on Broadway.

New Disney musicals  May 29 2019, 11:31:12 AM

There was a version of Pinocchio that ran in London a couple of years ago.  At the time there was some discussion of a transfer.  Haven't heard much about it since that time. https://www.broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=1106441#5004240

Middle School banned from performing  Apr 25 2019, 10:18:09 AM

The show is back on......but being delayed for 2 weeks to make up for lost rehearsal time.  It's being given a PG-13 rating to inform audiences.  Additionally, actors performing in the show must have a signed permission slip from parents.  AND they are making the script available for folks to read before the show if they want more info about the content.

Teen Agnst Musical Theatre Songs  Mar 9 2019, 08:05:19 PM

Several great choices from Be More Chill and The Prom.  I know that Be More Chill also released a karaoke version of their accompaniment tracks which would be easy to use at a Cabaret.  You could definitely consider all of Natalie's songs in Next To Normal.  American Idiot might work too; as well as Dogfight (even though we don't know Rose's exact age).

ps - Last 5 years isn't really teen.  It's more 20s angst.

AMAZING GRACE is amazingly still at it...  Feb 19 2019, 11:11:05 AM
I’ve seen some local ads for technical jobs in recent weeks. Tickets are on sale now. Looks like they’re trying to tap the peak tourist season in DC performing 5 show weekends.

Marie, Dancing Still (formerly Little Dancer)  Feb 18 2019, 02:30:10 PM

CATSNYrevival said: "I liked the title Little Dancer better."

absolutely a better title . I wonder what precipitated the change?  Confusion with Elton's "Tiny Dancer"?  But Marie is awfully generic.  It's not an iconic name like Evita or even Amelie .  I saw that Tiler Peck is back in the lead role after having also done it at the Kennedy Center; as are a number of the other folks from that cast.

Beetlejuice for kids/good show?  Jan 17 2019, 10:30:13 AM

It depends on the age of your kids. I went with a high school kid and was totally comfortable.  My kids were more uncomfortable sitting next to me in Book of Mormon than Beetlejuice (at ages 16 and 18).  I'd probably give the DC version a SOLID PG-13 rating...but they may be toning that down some before opening on Broadway.  It would make good commercial sense, IMO, if they got to more of a PG level.  It's not nearly as clever or funny as Book of Mormon in its DC t

Best option for last minute discounts?  Jan 8 2019, 09:47:13 PM

I generally prefer Theatermania or Playbill discounts over TKTS because I can plan ahead AND pick my own seats.  Looks like Theatermania has 40% off on choir boy.
