Today's Random Question: Click Tracks  Jul 26 2018, 12:54:28 PM

SomethingPeculiar said: "Click-tracks would primarily be used in instances of pre-recorded music combining with the live orchestra, or for some other reason that required the tempo to beexactlythe same every night. (I.E., the pre-recorded vocals in PHANTOM probably have a click track, if the live orchestra is even accompanying those moments.)"

Since Phantom pre-dates software like Ableton, the players do not wear headphones and thus do not listen/play to a c


Today's Random Question: Click Tracks  Jul 26 2018, 11:45:19 AM

For shows that use click tracks, everyone in the pit hears it. But most of them can create their own mix, turning up and down different tracks (individual instruments, instrument groups, vocals, click track, etc) to customize what they hear during the show. It's not so much about knowing the tempo and cues but really more about keeping everyone together. Plus, there could be any number of substitute musicians or a different conductor at any given performance, so the click helps maintain t

NY Times Journalist's "Body Shaming" in 'Smokey Joe's Cafe' Revew  Jul 23 2018, 04:01:27 PM

It's clear that she didn't intend to offend, but it's written so poorly that it does. It's more about her bad writing and insensitivity than it is about her being offensive. But it's still wrong and should be corrected.



Be More Chill Off-Broadway  Jul 22 2018, 09:09:21 PM

thealtoslament said: "About the whole possibility of edits to the book/score: I would be surprised if they made any changes, considering it's already being licensed and produced at the regional, amateur, and school level. More than likely this is a short run to consolidate the fanbase/boost the profile of the show and give people who wish to produce it at their high school/community theater group a frame of reference on how

STRAIGHT WHITE MEN Previews  Jul 2 2018, 02:17:12 PM

I think another thing to keep in mind about Lee is that she always says she writes the plays she least wants to write. That's why Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven is a has a stereotypical Asian title--she's leaning in to being pigeonholed and then she subverts the pigeonholing within the piece. So this play is her response to a disgust at writing about straight white men and how she handles it. I saw it in Chicago at Steppenwolf and didn't love it but appreciated it, and

Is the Freaky Friday DCOM going to be a musical?  Jun 30 2018, 11:09:34 PM

It will be a musical, though I imagine with much fewer songs than the stage version. But it's clear that, initially at least, they want to sell it on the title and concept and not that it's a musical.



Book of Mormon In-Person Lottery  Jun 20 2018, 10:01:48 PM

I did it last summer. The move is definitely to get in the standing room line and then enter the lotto as well. There were about 75 people for a Sunday matinee. I didn't win.



Working In The Pit  Jun 18 2018, 09:18:25 PM

Broadway musicians are allowed to take a certain number of performances off for other gigs in order to avoid monotony. Doing so allows them to keep the steady Broadway paycheck while still fulfilling themselves artistically. If you're close with a contractor, you can leave one show and get placed on another new one so that you've still got a job on Broadway but you're playing new material. Many of them also do chamber and orchestra jobs during the day and then do their Broadway sh

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Subsequent US Productions  Jun 17 2018, 10:04:04 PM

Chris Jones now says it's not sitting down in Chicago but rather San Francisco, because it's closer for Asian tourists... not sure what I think about that reasoning, but he usually has reputable sources.

Woah. I set relatively low in the mezz and could barely see the bottom. That's....wow. Okay then.



Questionable set pieces?  Jun 16 2018, 06:29:25 PM

The lamp post and balcony and pretty much everything in Prince of Broadway. It felt like a community theatre set to me.



The Cher Show  Jun 13 2018, 01:03:50 AM

I echo a lot of what's been said already, I'll try not to repeat too much. As someone who knew next to nothing about Cher's life going in, I had a great time. It is way too long, spending too much time on some moments of her life while skipping over others and asking the audience to connect the dots in places where it can be difficult to do so without already being familiar with Cher's life. There should be more emphasis on how she got to where she got, and not just the checkp

The Cher Show  Jun 12 2018, 02:20:58 AM

A couple Facebook friends who were at invited dress seem to have enjoyed it. Mackie's costumes are supposedly incredible, and SJB is being reported as a powerhouse, as always. But it appears to be clocking in at around 3.5-3.75 hours at this point, based on rumors and the time that these reports were posted. I wonder at what point it'll be trimmed.



The Cher Show  Jun 11 2018, 10:53:38 PM

Elegance101 said: "So did invited dress happen tonight?"

Yes. Jeff Bowen just posted a picture of his ticket on Instagram, and you can see a bit of the show logo in the background, which is presumably the curtain. Link.



The Cher Show  Jun 11 2018, 02:42:25 PM

Apparently the invited dress is now back on (???). This information is all coming secondhand from a friend. So who knows what's happening over there. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes tomorrow.



The Cher Show  Jun 11 2018, 01:40:03 PM

Apparently tonight's invited dress rehearsal was canceled... here's hoping they're ready for first preview tomorrow. 



The Cher Show  Jun 4 2018, 10:31:38 PM

I'll be there on Tuesday as well!



Broadway Sees Highest-Grossing and Best Attended Season in History  May 29 2018, 06:47:44 PM

I guess I'm confused about how the season ended May 27? I thought the new season began the day after the Tony eligibility cutoff date. Is there a month of overlap? Is a show that opens during May considered for the next season's Tonys even though it technically opened during the previous season but after the cutoff date?



The Cher Show  May 25 2018, 01:11:14 AM

Broadway in Chicago is selling tickets for first preview (June 12) for $25 today only. I just scored a pair. I know barely anything about Cher, but I am very excited for this cast!
