Taylor Louderman’s honesty  Sep 12 2019, 05:43:52 PM

I agree it is refreshing and truthful. It may seem like a glamorous job to a lot of people, but it is a job and there's going to be times that it sucks.

I was at a workshop with Renee Elise Goldsberry towards the end of her Hamilton run (after Lin & Co. had already left). She chose her words carefully but it was clear she was very ready to be done. She even commented about thinking about her shopping list one night while performing Satisfied because it had become so second natu

I'm really shocked by the reaction to this. For those who think they should just use makeup, etc to age the actors - isn't that precisely a major problem the original show had? I don't think it had to do with how they looked, it was that they couldn't convincingly play 40 year olds.

Richard Linklater - Merrily We Roll Along  Aug 29 2019, 10:37:40 PM
I think this is a really cool idea and clever. Perhaps the best way to tackle a troubled show in a way you never could on stage. Count me in as a customer in 2039!

" We'll see how long that lasts?" is bullying?  Aug 27 2019, 12:31:49 AM

Ugh, I am so tired of this story. I wasn't totally sold that her intent was to make fun of boys dancing in the first place but even if it was, she apologized twice and seemed genuine in wanting to listen to people from the dance community. That should be enough and it's time to accept her apology. People make mistakes. We cannot get so ridiculously upset every time someone says something they shouldn't but we do thanks to the internet and manufactured outrage.



Are Playbills environmentally friendly?  Aug 16 2019, 09:43:35 PM
Apparently I'm in the minority but I like the playbills and would prefer to see the shows find other ways to go green. I would pay a small amount for them if that was what happened because I like to collect them but I think it's a great souvenir that should be free because the tickets are expensive enough to begin with. I've struck up conversations with people in Times Square after shows just based on me seeing the playbill they're holding or vice versa. I am not anti-environment but I would not

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/4/19  Aug 5 2019, 10:24:19 PM

I know this has been talked about to death but I continue to be fascinated by the opposite trajectory of Tootsie and Beetlejuice. Tootsie went from a hot selling ticket with the best reviews this side of Hadestown to a poorly sold show with a general consensus that it's nothing special. Beetlejuice went from tepid reviews and box office receipts to ever increasing sales and more and more people talking about how fun it is. Things have changed so dramatically since the Tonys for those two

Playbill stopped publishing song lists?  Aug 5 2019, 01:46:20 AM

It does seem like it's becoming more common to do it alphabetical (for jukebox shows) or not at all. I find it super annoying. I'm not reading it during the production but like to look it over before the show and at intermission. Yes, I know I could look on my phone but it's handier to have it in the playbill.



Favorite Broadway Theaters  Aug 4 2019, 12:12:27 PM

Broadway Buddy said: "I think Wicked can stay on Broadway but it should transfer theatre’s. Music Man will hit big and it needs a huge house. I was in the Marquee for Tootsie a couple weeks ago and I really disliked it because the lobby was super confusing and to get to the theatre in the hotel didn’t make any sense to my dad and I. But I loved how they decorated the Palace for Spongebob."

Why in the world should Wicked transfer theatres when it's sti


Favorite Broadway Theaters  Aug 3 2019, 11:27:31 PM

I agree that the Marquis certainly isn't special to look it but boy those seats are comfortable compared to some of the older theaters.

From an architectural standpoint, I think it's tough to beat the New Amsterdam.

I love the versatility of Circle in the Square and the Beaumont.

In terms of sightlines, etc... I think the Music Box, Walter Kerr (minus the terrible balcony) and Schoenfeld are all great. At least those three popped into my head right away as


How did Phantom lose Best Score??  Jul 29 2019, 09:52:25 PM

Personally, I think the ITW score is FAR superior to Phantom, which has a couple good songs but as a whole isn't a great score. I get why Phantom won Best Musical because of the spectacle of it all (though I would have voted for ITW) but I would not have understood at all if it beat ITW for Score (or Book).



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 7/28/19  Jul 29 2019, 05:17:26 PM

haterobics said: "Mr. Wormwood said: "I still wish The Prom had tried to hold on, it has had two of its best weeks to date the last two weeks."

But that increased attendance is probably BECAUSE it is closing, not an independent trend...
"

Perhaps, but that's not really happening with any of the other shows closing in coming weeks



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 7/28/19  Jul 29 2019, 03:45:48 PM

Tootsie is looking rough, behind almost all the closing shows in terms of gross potential %. 

Beetlejuice is finding an audience for sure. I'll be curious to see if that continues into the fall.

I still wish The Prom had tried to hold on, it has had two of its best weeks to date the last two weeks.



How long will Hadestown run last?  Jul 28 2019, 02:40:11 PM
My prediction is 3-4 years. Definitely seems stronger than The Band's Visit and Fun Home but don't quite see it at the Dear Evan Hansen level

Movies That Will Be Adapted Into Musicals  Jul 28 2019, 09:24:48 AM
To answer my own question, here are a few that wouldn't surprise me (not saying all these are good ideas, just saying I could see it)

My Best Friend's Wedding
Harriet the Spy
Tangled
50 First Dates
Bridesmaids
Ferris Bueller's Day Off


Saddest musical?  Jul 28 2019, 12:41:04 AM

Parade and Carousel although Carousel ends on a slightly more hopeful note than Parade.



Movies That Will Be Adapted Into Musicals  Jul 28 2019, 12:40:16 AM

What are some movies that you think will still get a musical version? I'm not talking about anything scheduled somewhere already like Mrs. Doubtfire or in development. I'm talking about what you think might be coming in the next 10+ years?
