But I myself wouldn't over $100 for a 90 minute play no matter what, so for me 50% at $36 will beat out 85% at $169. But I think theatres should be more upfront about what you are buying. It is definitely a problem that they are not marking these seats as partial view. I'm only partially joking when I s
This is entirely the wrong question to ask and does not understand why some people are frustrated with the show. And 'sin' is a pretty loaded word to use in itself.
Rather, how does the NARRATIVE treat Evan's actions? Not the plot (He lies, this causes most of the characters in the show to suffer, he admits it and doesn't get everything he wanted) but how the structure of the show tells us how we are supposed to feel about it.
For what it's worth I have absolutely seen theatres reuse them, especially if you say "no thank you" to the playbill and dont take it in the first place.
It's funny that the most recent breakout star from broadway is not a woman but LMM. The only one out of the Hamilton OBC who became a ticket selling name in himself and cross over to movie and TV work significantly more prestigious than he did before Hamilton.
There's also, I think, less room for "diva" personality these days I think. It's just considered rude.

She notes that she can't remember spring or fall - just harsh shifts from freezing winter to boiling summer.

I've literally never seen a pansexual person (which has nothing to do with gender, it's a sexuality) not identify as part of the lgbtq community but go off on millenials I guess.
Can we get back to tootsie? How long do we think it has? January?
I don't think you can say it's not based on a bankable property. Henry's wives are hugely well known, interesting, and bankable. When I think of my middle class tourist parents who know nothing about broadway, "girl power show about henry the 8th's wives" is way more appealing than most descriptions of shows on broadway. (once they have clarified "Henry the 8th is the one with all the wives right?"
The gay stuff has always landed super poorly with me. Not that a high schooler would make that comment, but that the SHOW itself (the framing, music, direction, lyrics, etc) treat it as a joke. It's funny because people will think they're gay, and that would be awful.
The worst part is Sincerely Me is a heck of a song and probably my favourite off the album tune wise. I love so much about the song otherwise. And I think there is room for some of that content, with a more cr
"disneybound" style is fun and fitting. Or, I suppose, if it's Next to Normal or similar and the costumes are indistinguishable from street clothes.
Wearing full on costumes I find distracting and embarrassing, though I know many don't share the opinion. I've straight up told people that if they plan to go in costume, I would not be going with them, as it would ruin the experience for me.
the exception is spaces in which it is explicitly invited, such

They dont interest me personally but I have to say the used DEH casts are very cool
And comet which made panels from their curtain and earrings from their chandelier. Still can't find a pair at any price....

I saw a video, obviously recorded by a friend in the audience, of him performing a selection of TTB. Powerful stuff. It's not the smoothest voice, but emotional and evocative indeed

It literally says he's the son of a muse. In myths, usually Calliope, muses of poetry, eloquence, and singing.
Non-Smoking Contract for Actors Jul 22

I cannot imagine what would possess a broadway actor to smoke, but there's not much that can be done about it. People are allowed to make bad decisions
Darn, I thought this was going to be a thread about who has the best twitter and I was going to nominate Isaac Powell, who is hilarious.
I think a big issue is there being no line between fan spaces that are not meant for creators to be, and the general public space. I think there is a lot of good to be found (And bad, for the record, it's a mixed bag) in spaces that are private and people talk freely.
But twitter is not that space.

There are quite a lot of sexual references as well. Suggestion that evan broke his arm from "jerking off too much" while looking at zoey's instagram, and some lines in sincerely me, as well as quite a few more I don't remember. I saw the show with a kid in the row ahead and it was uncomfortable.
