If, for example, a producer spends on ads thatare ineffectual, no one is applauding that, and that (rightly) gets criticized. Let's revisit this particular gimmick when we have data to decide if it is effective or not. It's fine to pretend to be Merrick, but don't lose sight of the fact that Merrick's mishagas was legendarily effective."
Some of the people on this board just make me laugh. They'll piss and moan endlessly about a show that hasn't done enough to get publicity, not enough ads, no creative efforts to make it stand out and get people talking about it and when a producer does that, it's hokey and they're desperate. Yeah, OK, whatever.
Never had the chance to see him in his Tony winning roles but will always remember him as President Julius Limbani in the great Richard Burton film, The Wild Geese. Had a very successful theatrical career in South Africa and starred in his Tony winning roles in The Island and Sizwe Banzi is Dead along with his creative partner John Kani at theaters throughout the world. R.I.P. Winston.

The "show" didn't give a shout out to a murderer, Chazz did. And he didn't give a shout out to him cause he murdered people, he gave him a shout out cause Sonny did everything he could to encourage Chazz to stay out of that life, not become a mobster even though that might have been the easiest path to take given t
Please delete CoffeeBreak’s comment....completely inappropriate spoiler and really rude to future audience members.

Overreact much? You really think them doing that after Ken talked to him before the show is some amazing, incredible plot point that will shock and awe the audience? The whole thing just sounds cringeworthy to be honest..
The free breakfast promotion ended July 31. The August promotion is a homeless man with a persistent cough will come to your room and give you a 25 minute foot rub.

Quite easily they could finish her work within a couple days and wrap her. Or film her scenes outside of the original schedule. I’m just saying by all accounts that I’ve been aware of she is still on board."
When was the last time you heard someone in charge of the project proactively say she WAS s
Julie Andrews is 82 and has well documented vocal problems and Maggie Smith is 83 and hasn't set foot on a stage in 11 years. I don't think the odds are in your favor. Not saying someone in their 80's can't do a show, just not seeing any indication either of them want to.
I can't imagine someone putting up $10 million to revive a show that wasn't successful because of a sequel of an almost 40 year old film that will likely be in and out of theaters in 2 or 3 weeks if it ever even gets made which I seriously doubt.
Her recording of the music video and all evidence I could find of her involvement in this project dates back to February, 2016 when the film was scheduled to be released in 2017. There is no mention of her on their website or of the project on her IMDB page. People just need to calm the heck down.
If you entered a restaurant and without ordering anything, sat down at a table people had just left and hadn't finished everything on their plate and you started eating the food they left over, I think you would find the same phenomenon occur even though you might not understand it since the people weren't going to finish it and they would have had to throw it out anyway.

Cases for other teams could be made, but that's a solid take.

You shouldn't use it again Hogan. It's not a good one. No real baseball fan (or even a casual fan for that matter) would ever say someone "got a hit" when th
Hogan, the comment I responded to was "not a hit by any measure". It may not be a hit financially, but it is a hit artistically and critically.. And if you're going to reply that a hit signifies financial success only, then you can use your definition of success and I'll use mine however incorrect, non-traditional and wrong mine may be in your eyes. And truthfully, maybe it's high time the strict usage of &quo
BroadwayNoob said: "TPTGW had a super easy rush when I went on a saturday - I just popped in right when the BO opened. The seats were $45 and I ended up with phenomenal6th row orchestra seats"
Their rush tickets were $30 when i went last November. Sounds like they bumped it to $45. It's a great show and still a decent deal but that's quite a jump.
HunterK said: "She is the only cast member that is a household name, or at lest tot he crows they are going after. Why wouldn't you use her name in advertising? The show isn't about teenagers, yet marketing is sending out a promo for them."
If they can fit her into the advertising seamlessly, it probably wouldn't hurt but it's been 25 years since her last big TV series and 16 years since her last time on Broadway. I can't imagine many people
HunterK said: "I wish they would advertise by throwing Marilou Henner's name out there! She has a TON of fans that have no idea she is back on Broadway. Why are they forgetting her? She is loved! But they just seem to have "The Band only" in their spectrum."
Maybe because the show's not called Getting Marilu Henner Back Together. I'm just guessing. I could be wrong.

Thus, this caused a higher turnover in shows, allowing theatregoers more opportunities to see new productions. However, if all of these open-ended shows are continuing to succeed financially, then how are we going to get a wider variety of new shows? It feels like normally by this time of year, we tend to at least have a grasp of what our spring season might look like. B
