"If I could leave 'Sunset' tomorrow, I would" - Glenn Close (April, 1995)  Sep 12 2019, 05:18:07 AM
Interesting in her recent London revival it was somewhat true that her absence had no impact on the box office because the greedy scamming producers took the money anyway and refused to offer refunds.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/8/19  Sep 9 2019, 04:26:18 PM

"In a few years, they could also start closing off the balcony during the slower months, like the St. James and Broadway (rear mezz) do. This could keep the gross potential reasonable."

I find this to be a funny phrase. It might make the gross potential 'look' reasonable, and it might make the theatre look more full to keep the energy up. But making the gross potential 'look' reasonable is pointless if the rent isn't decreasing. Do these landlords


West Side Story revival?  Sep 8 2019, 03:42:19 PM

West Side Story revival?  Sep 8 2019, 05:12:54 AM

It would make me interested to see the show because it feels like something fresh + new as opposed to the same old production that has been trotted out time and time again. Who knows what we will actually get in the delivery though.

Interesting that she didn’t see the show in London and that she calls cast recordings soundtracks #thebatttleislost.

David Mamet's BITTER WHEAT to premiere in London with Malkovich  Sep 7 2019, 11:21:43 AM
Sadly it isn’t very controversial at all in my opinion. It’s a very light, loose interpretation of what could have happened behind close doors with Harvey Weinstein in an alternate universe. A few laughs. But many of the jokes are repeated over and over again so many times that they become boring - specifically the fat jokes and the race/Asian-related jokes. A lot of cliche ideas about power and money. The lead actor does a good job making the very unlikable character entertaining. It’s all just

John Adams said: "Kad said: "qolbinau said: "Would Bernadette Peters be as big a star as she is if it weren't for the filmings of Sunday and Into the Woods? I doubt it.”

Peters was already a Golden Globe-winning star,and had appeared in ten movies and countless television episodes by that time.

...including her numerous appearances on talk and variety shows (especially the Carol Burnett Show) long before "Sund


David Mamet's BITTER WHEAT to premiere in London with Malkovich  Sep 7 2019, 06:30:52 AM

Finally about to see this. What I find interesting though is at tube stations and on twitter their current marketing says

"You can't be outraged if you haven't seen it yet. So book your seat today for a performance unlike any other with #BitterWheat."

Is this the first show that has ever tried to capitalise on negative word of mouth? It's an interesting strategy. <


Hugh Jackman in The Music Man  Sep 6 2019, 03:01:40 PM

Ok I'm listening to the OBC for the first time (ok, very late to the party). I know this has topic has been done to death but I'm VERY worried about Sutton Foster in this role. This sounds like a Kelli O'Hara or Audra McDonald Or Kristen Chenoweth job. 



Hugh Jackman in The Music Man  Sep 5 2019, 01:36:35 PM
I mean filling it with lauded actors could also mean quality lol. The question I have is did they pass over other lauded actors that were non-white and available and interested?

Hugh Jackman in The Music Man  Sep 5 2019, 12:29:43 PM
I would hope & assume they would consider people of all races for ALL roles.

LEHMAN TRILOGY to play the Nederlander this Spring  Sep 4 2019, 04:58:30 PM

Lehman Trilogy, Company, The Inheritance, Caroline, or Change, Tina, Six. Has there ever been so many London transfers in one season?



COMMUNTIY REMINDER: There have been articles written about the sexual misconduct of Ben Vereen and William Ivey Long  Sep 4 2019, 04:27:29 PM

I do wonder sometimes what the endgoal of the outrage directed towards some individuals is - especially considering as Matt Damon correctly pointed out of course there is a spectrum of behaviour and some require extreme consequences (e.g. life in prison), while others not so much. Do the people that are 'outraged' essentially want Ben Vereen to never work again? Go into a corner and die? Can a mild offender ever be rehabilitated?

Mike Barrett said: "If we're not allowed any gossip or heresy, then how on earth was the entire Company thread not deleted prior to the official announcement? Doesn't BWW also have their own articles called "Rialto Chatter"? So hypocritical BWW you should be ashamed."

Oh come on there is a difference between discussing whether someone has committed a crime vs whether Patti LuPone is going to transfer to Broadway as Joanne lol. That said, I’m g


COMMUNTIY REMINDER: There have been articles written about the sexual misconduct of Ben Vereen and William Ivey Long  Sep 4 2019, 01:05:37 PM
Thanks for the info. Now, I for one would still be interested to see Ben V in Hadestown. Good casting idea.

Phone rings, door chimes, in comes COMPANY!  Sep 4 2019, 02:43:24 AM
I find it cool and kind of cinematic but I wonder if the tone is a little different than the actual show. Although I imagine that Katrina will give off more of that vibe (cool, underground, mysterious, sexy) than Craig (girl nextdoor, warm, loveable, cute).

Phone rings, door chimes, in comes COMPANY!  Sep 2 2019, 02:51:44 PM

Steven A2 said: "I'm not sure I get the logic of passing on Lupone simply because she played the part before in a one-week concert staging of the show, particularly if we apply your standard of transferring people who won the Olivier Award for their performance ... which Lupone also did."

The other thing about LuPone’s performance though is that it isn’t the same as her concert performance on so many levels. She sings part of a ‘new’ song


Disney's ALADDIN filmed for release  Sep 1 2019, 05:21:35 PM

thedrybandit said: "TaleofTwo said: "Another Broadway show filmed inthe West End due to crazyunion regulations."

Crazy union regulations like paying the people who do the work that the company filming it will be profiting off of?
"

It's really hard though. Like I think we need to be thankful for unions because the working conditions on Broadway are much higher than they would be otherwise. It's nice that people can make a car


Not Broadway Grosses  Sep 1 2019, 05:12:46 PM

Looking back, you're right that he definitely does make an effort. So I am probably over-exaggerating the amount of times he posts in a manner similar to above (even if it does happen).
