Pippin opens in Sydney tonight.  They are selling 50% capacity.  Social distancing available upon request.  All audience members to wear masks in foyers and theatre.  I assume that means no bar/food service.
Staggered arrival times. Temperature checks.
I do not see it for another two weeks but thought I would share. Note - we have very few cases here and have no locally transmitted cases for 16 days now.  Frozen opens next month.

What I find interesting is that I have seen the advertisement for Pippin on TV a LOT in the past week - and I hardly watch free to air.  I just can't understand what the thinking is behind it, why pump all that money on TV if you know it isn't going to happen.... and the season so far is only three weeks long so it is not worth doing it to just accrue in

I am a little skeptical with this one.  I will buy my tickets nonetheless but I am not really expecting that is going to happen.

It is so odd that it seems to have more or less sprung up out of the blue - with a three month lead in for ticket sales - no cast announcement for a show that is largely unknown to those outside of the theatre world - and in the middle of a pandemic.

It perplexes me.

I am actually not even convinced that Frozen and Hamilton won't b

Thank you ARTc3 - that was a really enjoyable read.  I have always been intrigued and at times obsessed with the legend of the original Carrie on Broadway.  As much as I have read about it over the years it is great to have a first hand account.  I think you absolutely correct about the costumes and tone and over sexualisation of the story.  I think De Palma's film does something similar in this respect also but what they attempted on the stage unsuccessfully was a fai

I thought they had buried the hatchet? I recall seeing the docu thing that LuPone's son made a few years ago where she catches up with Glenn C at a dinner function.... 'so much to say... and yet so little to say'

Exactly.  No matter how much I wish it wasn't the case, I just don't see how big productions would be able to return until at least March 2021. Perhaps the investors just want to hold on to the ticket sales money for as long as they can to accumulate the monetary interest.

I also don't think they could remove seats - and if they did would anyone want to experience a show in this way.&

Whilst we will most likely never know what happened to lead to her abrupt exit, it appears that her Beetlejuice experience hasn't been the greatest for Sophia Caruso.

I hope that lessons are learnt and that everyone ends up happy in the end and that careers aren't ruined.

In regards to the way her mom intended to sell her gifts, I personally think it was a bad move from a PR perspective.  I mean we all get gifts we don't love and may even re gift bu

I’m surprised they are going to move the show. If it hasn’t yet recouped it’s initial investment and it is going to cost extra to move and redesign the show I’m surprised they are just not going to call it a day and focus on the tour and other territories internationally. Especially if Alex Brightman leaves the show too. He is a draw for a lot of repeat attendees. Plus isn’t Presley one of the major tik tok champions? They will no doubt miss that too once she mov

I hope this is an ok place to post this message. I don’t live in the US so my chances of seeing this musical before it finishes on Broadway are slim. To be honest the idea of Beetlejuice as a musical never floated my boat. I enjoyed the film when it was released but it’s no way a favourite film of mine. I decided to listen to the recording after hearing how it was smashing streaming records however (with very low expectations) and I absolutely love it. I read the reviews and posts

I’m in two minds on this. I think if it can be recorded and no one detects you doing so and you use it totally for personal use then it’s ok 100%. I think if you’re a die hard fan and you’ve paid to see it - perhaps multiple times and you just want a personal copy as there’s no other way to have it - then morally I have no issue with it. If they sold a copy of a live filming I would for sure buy it - but they so often don’t. However it should never dis
