Little Shop Extending? Sep 5

Hmm. I wonder how likely it is that they would extend until April. I wonder if they’d pull a Sweeney Todd
Would Hercules continue to broadway Sep 2
2019, 12:49:52 AM
Just wondering from those whove seen it. If there was any chance Hercules would go on broadway. Which is what Im trying hoping for. And then polish the show up a bit more with a bit of grandeur
I guess with the all American casTing comment that would mean a no for Richard fleeshman. I wonder who will take his role over. Matt Doyle? Kyle dean Massey? Jonathan Groff? Taylor Frey?

I really love this. I’m curious what Sondheim thinks. Knowing that there will be a film that’s started production and won’t be released until years after his passing
Hadestown Rush/SRO Updates Aug 27

Anyone live in the city have any idea how rush and Sro tickets normally go the first two weeks in November. Do they typically become less crazy or has this just become a common thing for waiting. Or will there typically be a bit of a ease up between summer tourists and holiday season.
I just remember not even six years ago being able to walk up for a rush at 10 and being fine, even for some of the hit shows. (Not talking like bom or ham)
Tina the musical opening night Aug 19
2019, 12:27:22 AM
Just curious who people think might be attending the red carpet in a couple months. Im curious if people think Tina will fly over to be their and who else would be there. It was interesting I was surprised by the number of people who attend the Cher show opening. But then was disappointed by the lack who attended moulin rouge
Do you think people like Oprah and gayle. Elton John Celine Bette Midler would all be there? Or do you think it will be downscaled. To more broadway perform
How much are broadway actors worth Aug 19
2019, 12:21:36 AM
A topic came up today how much Broadway performers are worth. Not talking about those that move in and out between tv film concerts and broadway but those that typically are just theatre performers. Would it be safe to say that someone like Stephanie j block would have been earning about 20000 a week? And someone like Charlie Williams or Ryan Steele or Matt Doyle be warning around the 5000 a week. Or am I way off. Im just curious how difficult it is for a performer to hold down a place of th

While I do love aspects of the show. I also hope that some changes are made. Some of it plays out to be a bit of a mockery and campy.
The paparazzi song has to go. That “flash flash” song when I saw it I was appalled. And true about the f dress song and the queen singing a verse
I think it really does need to be sung through ala evita because aspects get lost when we go from dialogue to song and the audience is confused how they should take it.

I was super excited to hear this For a world premiere I thought it was well done. And yes with a bit of refocusing and reworked slightly I think it could be so great. Almost six months later I’m still singing “pretty pretty girl in a bit pretty pretty dress”. Plus the costumes are stunning
Have all fall 2019 shows been announced Aug 11

Was wondering if all shows would be announced by now for the fall 2019 lineup or if their is still a chance for some more.

Beyonce, Rihanna and Lady Gaga would like to have a word with you about that."
Clearly you avoid reading what’s in the brackets. It said for the most part. And I mean I would love to test the longevity of the three you mentioned. IMO only one of those would have the same capacity to sustain a notable place in history
Are we nearly at the end of an era for our great musical divas? Aug 9
2019, 09:58:29 AM
Unfortunately I think that we are at the end (at least for this foreseeable era). I think in the same way that pop music has (for the most part) lost its divas. Long gone are the days where icons like Celine Cher Bette Madonna Tina Dolly Barbra were born. And in the same sense I think that with a lot of the shows being created because they are relying on already familiar markets and more laid out to feature the big budget spectacle. I don’t think it’s allowed so much for these “divas” to be born
