If you could revive any Broadway flop? Mar 29

I never saw Women on the Verge, but I love that cast album so much so I’d love to see if revived!
It was really nice. Both ladies got lots of entrance applause, but Patti’s was so long she had to hold her hand out to quiet everyone hahah. Every moment seemed extra sentimental and they paused a bit more than they probably normally do. During bows Patti was crying and everyone seemed a lil sad too. Michael Greif, Scott Frankel, and Doug Wright came out and Doug gave a speech about the show. It was a truly great performance!

I'm not a member either and if you just go on to telecharge the tickets are already available! I got center of the front row of the loge, but I've never been to the Beaumont before so I don't really know how good of seats those are
I'm very confused about the seating chart. I bought tickets that are "dress circle row L," but neither the mezzanine nor balcony on any of the seating charts for the Lyric have a row L...
Just got a thing in the mail today about roundabout doing a musical reading of I Can Get It For You Wholesale. All the cars says is that Trip Cullman is directing. I wonder who's attached to this!

I would love to see a revival with them! Tho I feel it would be a hard sell to revive WP. I love it, but it isn't breaking the box office. Maybe a non for profit like Roundabout could revive it in like 10ish years?

I feel like no matter who they cast as Mame they'd have to make those changes, especially with wants going on in the country rn
I'm looking to buy tickets for Anastasia on AudienceRewards and there are only Wednesdays open. I can't find anything about her not doing Wednesday performances, but I just wanted to check here in case she has an alternate that does the role on certain days of the week. Obviously if she's sick or whatever she won't perform, but if everything is right she performs on Wednesday nights, right?

I never realized how much I needed this! Frankel and Korie would be PERFECT for Carol!! I would love Laura Osnes as Therese and Laura or Kelli as Carol
Zuber's costumes in War Paint were pure spectacle! Every time Patti or Christine entered in a new costume it was breathtaking! Every look was its own special moment and also strengthened the narrative about each lady. The costumes had character themselves making you understand these women intimately. I'm a huge War Paint fan so I'm a little biased, but I really think Zuber should win and I think she's the favorite to win too!
Does anyone think Metcalf being in Three Tall Women next year gives Linney an advantage? Would voters maybe hold off so they can reward Metcalf next year and give Linney the win this year?
5. War Paint - Patti's performance of "Back on Top" and Christine's performance of "Pink." War Paint was the show that I was most excited for this season, which also made me nervous I was hyping it up a lil too much in my head before seeing it. I was relieved when I went to the Nederlander Theatre to see something that was entirely what I envisioned and hoped it would be. I loved the score (it was my favorite of the season
I so wish the cut songs were on the album cuz I didn't particularly care for Putting Your Best Face Forward. This score was my absolute favorite of the season and it breaks my heart it wasn't tony nominated! I can't echo what you all have said about CFA and Groundhog Day's score. I liked almost every song from War Paint (except Dinosaurs which I found so cringe worthy) and I wish it faired better than it did this award season.
