When I used to work in an off-broadway theater complex in the city we'd get someone there on the wrong day once or twice a week. People really didn't understand they couldn't just come on another day and use their ticket. 

Once in a while people would leave a show in one space five minutes in and ask if they could use their ticket to instead watch one of the other shows, not realizing that's now how things work. 

The lack of literature in Florida has really affected the masses, hasn't it.

He's still alive, mind yourself using the past tense on a person who is still living their life to the fullest. 

The fact that the music and the ensemble sound so crisp. I know it's less instruments and less voices than Sweeney, but you also get the feeling this wasn't as meddled with. I'm over the over-produced sound of most modern cast recordings. 

You want us to agree to disagree on you being racist? 

This place has certainly seen better days. 

I'm flying in just to see both shows and ended up putting Merrily First because I didn't want to spend all of Merrily still thinking about Here We Are, but I can see your point of view as well! 

Love reading the reactions to both shows here on the board and super ready for my Sondheim day! I'll be seeing Company in Chicago a week later! 

Chris Harper posted on instagram from the rehearsal, just a close up of the set minuatures. I can already spot some changes in the dimensions of the rooms, which would affect some of the magic that happens in the show. 

With rehearsals clearly underway, seems weird not to capitalize on that to get the press release out on casting. 

Kinda crazy not to have it posted yet, especially if rehearsals did begin today. Do we think they're still trying to finalize someone for the show? I can't imagine any role except Joanne needing that sort of work, seeing the cast had such a deep bench. Maybe less of them were into touring the show I'm seeing the show in Chicago and I can't wait!

My guess is the show would have fared well/better with a rotating cast. The cast announcement didn't leave me gagged considering how many amazing theater queens and Ru queens there are in NYC.

It looks like a razor blade to me."

Maybe a modern-day one, but it would be too modern to fit with the other items in this design."

That's because it's a bad design. 

Keeping things back to Company. The set will definitely have space in many touring houses, And luckily all of the magic with the main set piece (the living room/kitchen/bobbi's bedroom) don't require the use of traps in the floor, so most of that can translate easily to the road. 

The lack of imagination. When they spend so much money to make the cheapest looking and most dangerous looking version on a musical you've ever seen.

Poor Circle in The Square is too small. The Beaumont is too big. No one knows what the SHED is...

I think it's time we begin to think about turning one of the Broadway theater's into a fully renovated multifunction space. At the very least, a full renovation into another theater in the round. That being said... which theater would you pick?

 

This all just goes to show that Broadway. needs to diversify it's theater offerings. If the SHED had a space that sat 500 and could do this show I feel like things like that should be allowed to qualify for tony awards. It ridiculous that multi-purpose spaces have to be created at such a high cost from these theaters that we already don't see to get enough of. 

I was rewatchin the PBS special on this production and I'm honestly just as interested in this tour set as I am in the cast. I'm sure they'll put the orchestra in the pit and the balcony scene will just come from offstage, but what do we think of the little door or the little table a chair that would swing up from the floor?
