I am devastated to hear this. I really hope they can figure something out or re-open still in the theatre district. I've feared this news for a long time. I almost always buy something when I visit there even when I don't need to just to support everything that shop represents for bookstores, independent businesses, and theater.
Thank you everyone. If anyone else can give some info on particular actors, that would be great.
This is a group of high school students & I fully expect them to behave well. If they don't, that will not be tolerated by me! A few are big DEH fans and wanted to do the stage door so I thought I would look into it. The idea of splitting into two groups is a good one!
I'm bringing a group of students to Dear Evan Hansen in a few weeks. Can anyone tell me how the stage door is these days? Who comes out on a regular basis? Thanks!!

Is that confirmed? I know that's all it's on sale for now but is it possible/likely it will extend?

Summer just got extended to next August, and is Kinky boots really closing? or do you think it will close?

Those are my guesses, not any sort of insider knowledge

Lol, no one knows who that is, love."
That's not true. When I was posting on social media about going to see the show in July, friends of mine(not the major theatre buffs)asked me if "Monk" was there or how "Monk" was in the show"

I would love to see Kelli O'Hara as Mother in a Bart Sher directed Ragtime at the Beaumont. Agreed that Josh Henry would be a good Coalhouse but would prefer someone other than Erivo for Sarah

You are misreading that tweet. He's saying the Imperial will be open in a month or so, not that Moulin Rouge could arrive in a month or so
CAROUSEL Closing 9/16 Aug 7

I liked the show, particularly the cast who overcame questionable direction. Sad to see it close but not shocked. I wonder if Beautiful or Waitress could lure Jessie Mueller back for a closing run in a couple months
Bronx Tale Final Curtain Call Aug 5

I did not enjoy the show but it had an impressive rub. Far longer than I think pretty much anyone thought it could do.
Aladdin: B- Anastasia: C The Band's Visit: C- Beautiful: B+ A Bronx Tale: D Carousel: B Chicago: C+ Come From Away: A- Dear Evan Hansen: A Hamilton: A+ Hello Dolly: A The Lion King: B Mean Girls: B- My Fair Lady: B+ Once on this Island: A Phantom of the Opera: C+ School of Rock: C+ Wicked: B
I'm not much of an economist so someone who's good at analyzing profit, please answer this. Is it a bit of a problem that 19 of the 32 shows currently on Broadway are grossing over $1,000,000? In fact, really only 6 or 7 shows are in what you might describe as a "negative financial situation". How is this not a problem? We've already seen how the average theatregoer is more willing to spend money on a commercialized
^^ I was just gonna comment that I think School of Rock is really creative with their curtain call
One thing I strongly dislike is when everyone bows together with no individual or group bows. I understand why some shows do that but I always feel a little cheated because there are always some cast members I want to show more enthusiasm towards than others.
I think provocative musicals that may have some sexual content (Spring Awakening, Rent) can be more appropriate for high school students than musicals like Company or Follies, where it would be incredibly hard for teenagers to play roles that require some serious life experience to actually even understand, much less perform. That said, I think it varies a lot on the community and there are plenty of communities out there still where a Spring Awakening or Rent is still a bad idea.
I was at a Q&A forum with Lynne Ahrens about a year ago and someone asked about a Seussical revival. She said she didn't want it to happen - the original experience was so traumatizing and she and Flaherty are quite content with it being a huge hit in amateur theatres and schools. Not saying it wouldn't happen in the right situation but it sounds like there's not a real desire from the creators.
