The name on everybody’s lips is apparently not Alyssa Milano. Yikes

Alas, confirmation for probably the worst kept secrets on Broadway

I made the change. I read another article where I thought I saw a stagehand was responsible, but I could’ve been mistaken

Adrian Bailey, known for an over 30 year stage career from 1976 to 2008, has passed away at the age of 67.

His long career was, unfortunately, curtailed by an incident during The Little Mermaid when an open trap door, caused him to fall 30 feet and become severely injured.

Kad said: "I’m also surprised they haven’t moved to 8th Ave to accommodate the growing crowds. I don’t know how such closures work, but perhaps it’s too expensive for a charity nonprofit to swing."

But how do the small-time street fair vendors do it then? They have full on trucks and cooking equipment and vans full of stuff - unless those are subsidized by the city

I told Patti that she couldn’t be the only power top at the Oh Mary party at the Eagle…but did she listen? NOOOOOOO

Jordan Catalano said: "Prices are even stupider than they normally are, which I knew would happen."

I always carry cash and negotiate price. If you make an offer  that’s not obscenely low (like $1 for a $20 item), they will work with you sometimes. 

Whatever they don’t sell ends up back at the theatre or in the trash, so depending on the table, they will take the money happily.

(*MAME chorus*)

IT’S TODAAAAAAAAAYYY

FYI

Katie Holmes will be out September 27-28 with Heather Ayers on as Mrs. Webb.

Zoey Deutch will be out October 27 with (likely) Ephie Aardema on as Emily Webb

Here are the links:

THE SIGN… with Oscar Isaac & Rachel Brosnahan

YELLOW FACE with Daniel Dae Kim

They’re only roughly $6 each

I didn’t know this was a thing, but my friend just sent me a picture from the BTTF tour in Minneapolis and apparently Playbill no longer does national distribution and so local brands will be taking over.

A friend of mine close to the production team was telling me that they were trying to court Paul Giamatti, but he wasn’t going to be able to commit to the whole run, only about half of it.

And we have our winner!

New prices are $99-$329."

*laughs with $60 ticket in hand*

I would bet Christopher has some sort of out (he’s only a temporary Washington) - surely they can find someone to take over for the October portion of his tenure and it wouldn’t affect sales.

Little Shop wouldn’t really be able to survive with three weeks of understudy leads

According to the sleuths on Twitter, it looks like the odds are on Nicholas Christopher & Sherie René Scott based on the silhouettes.

Christopher seems to be more correct, while Scott is slightly more ambiguous.

No star and no mainstream appeal. This will close by the Tonys or right after."

*A Strange Loop, Kimberly Akimbo, The Band’s Visit, and Hadestown have entered the chat and would like a word*
