Is it time for a mass exodus from Broadway World?  May 10 2018, 04:18:59 PM

Yes.

In addition to what the OP said, BWW is now a place where racism is fine with the mods but calling out racism gets you deleted. Time to go.

Is it possible to delete your account on here? I looked today but couldn't find anything.



Agent complains: Minorities are 'putting talented white performers out of work ... and it stinks'  May 9 2018, 03:02:56 PM

"What about posts that really are blatant attacks on POC and targeting black people specifically? Those posts have been left up in numerous threads."

Apparently that is fine.

The poor moderation here has made BWW an unpleasant place to visit. And I'm saying that as someone who has been visiting and posting on this site practically since it started.

It was fun while it lasted. 



Spongebob will be the most Tony-nominated musical of the season  May 4 2018, 11:42:29 AM

Finally got the chance to see Spongebob last night and had a great time. Probably the most fun I've had at a show since Hairspray.

I hope it wins everything it's nominated for.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Previews  May 2 2018, 02:07:12 PM

Will we know when they're about to happen, or does one need to know when to look where (like when you're sitting in the first 2-3 rows of Phantom and he appears at the top of the proscenium)?

You wil definitely know.



HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD Previews  May 2 2018, 08:49:00 AM

I sat second row center. Yes there was a few times I could see a wire and noticed some people who were supposed to be in "black out" briefly. But I was more impressed about the stuff I couldn't figure out how they did even though I was sitting so close.

It never took me out of the moment and I would definitely sit there again if I had the chance.



Why no Demand for Frozen? Any Thoughts ?  Apr 30 2018, 04:02:43 PM

Maybe. But it was also an awful movie.



Harry Potter - read play first?  Apr 27 2018, 02:47:34 PM

I read the script after seeing the play. I came away even more impressed by the production after seeing the text in isolation."

Yes! I was one of these people gasping. More than once! I can also see how the surprises in the show might not come off as well on the page as they do on stage.


Harry Potter - read play first?  Apr 27 2018, 02:00:54 PM

Absolutely DO NOT read it!

Saw the show a few weeks ago and was so glad I went in cold. It was great to be surprised as things happened on stage. I would avoid even reading the cast list until AFTER the show.



When Someone Overflows Onto Your Seat & Ruins The Show?  Apr 26 2018, 03:56:18 PM

Some posters in this thread sound so delicate I'm surprised they ever leave the house. Especially in a major metropolitin area.

I mean strained biceps from sitting next to a larger person?? God help you on the subway.



Friday Forty Lottery  Apr 16 2018, 11:44:05 AM

Saw it yesterday too after winning the 40/40 lottery.

Seats were row AA center aisle. Amazing seats for an amazing show.



Tyce Green accused of sexual misconduct  Apr 12 2018, 02:04:16 PM

"My point, which you seem to have missed, is that people love to define adulthood/childhood in ways that are convenient for them. If a 17 year old makes sexual overtures to a 14 year old, the former is an adult preying on a child. But if a 26 year old makes overtures to a 17 year old, that adult suddenly becomes a "kid."

Pretty much everything about your point is wrong as ScottyDoesn'tKnow helpfully explained.

Jokes, lines, or songs that dont sit right anymore  Feb 20 2018, 03:44:34 PM

It's not. But racism and poor command of the English language is!

I leave the color sorting to others.

It's just that for as long they are doing that they fail to look at the person. Which is a pity either way. No matter how much some of you on this board try to justify it.

Pretty sure that Dave28282 works at the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg.



Whoopi Goldberg interested in Dolly  Feb 9 2018, 02:00:07 PM

BroadwayConcierge said: "Jenifer Lewis is not a "name" name."

For those under 45 she is probably more of a "name" name than Bette Midler. In addition to a hit TV show she has a successful book and she has become a sensation on social media.

Again, not surprised you would be oppossed to either of these people be cast. #MAGA

Spielberg's West Side Story  Jan 25 2018, 04:31:54 PM

^^THIS.



Spielberg's West Side Story  Jan 25 2018, 04:25:08 PM

I'm not making the argument that everything old needs to be redone.

Some things age better than others. I don't think I new, updated version of West Side Story will take anything away from the original. If anything I think it IS a way to get younger viewers to go back and revisit the original.

 



Spielberg's West Side Story  Jan 25 2018, 03:59:35 PM

OMG West Side Story takes place in the 1950's?

Yeah of course I know that. I'm talking about the style of filming etc. And yes it was timely when it came out. OVER 50 YEARS AGO. Now much of the style of the film comes off as dated.

And I'm not trying to knock the film. I love it. I think it's a classic. But have you ever tried to watch it with a younger person? I have. And more often times than not it's greeted with laughter,
