Profile for DiscoCrows

My personal opinion is that Playbuilder comes off visually as very amateurish (the graphic/layout formatting is completely different than what you’d see in an actual Playbill) and I don’t see a world in which professional companies move towards it unless they made it look more sleek.

Production photos are gorgeous IMO. The design obviously lends itself to functioning and presenting similarly even with a scaled-down set and smaller tour. Good for them.

Broadway Flash said: "Why didn’t they at least announce the cast? Why does the Broadhurst still have an elegant marquee, but theMajestic went digital?"

Isn’t it your job to know these things?

This began previews! Would love thoughts if anyone makes it out to the McCarter in the coming weeks.

$20 and $40 tickets are on TDF Passport

Also, Leslie Kritzer as Ms. Fleming. Please.

Please please please.

Unique approach …

Add one to the Buena Vista tally. I’ve heard they secured a house for the spring.

g.d.e.l.g.i. said: "I don't believe it was ever announced, DiscoCrows. I hit the Wayback Machine with a stick to see if a full creative team ever hit the website, and no GM office is mentioned."

Gotcha! Thanks for trying for me :)

Does anyone happen know which GM office/team was attached to the ill-fated Broadway production back in the day? It was something that crossed my mind recently but couldn’t seem to find anything in any original press releases.

Is there a new work session happening? Why is this thread blowing up all of a sudden with comments about the lottery?

I’m just confused abt the timing lol if someone can explain. Thanks.

y’all i miss this show

not a bot, to be clear :)

Wow thank you for this breakdown! But where do people look to see the operating costs of shows? It seems like everyone on here knows what those are for shows- is that widely available information??"

Broadway General Manager by Peter Bogyo is my go-to recommendation! Fantastic book.

To your last point, I will be sad if this does not get some kind of short film/movie adaptation. It’s the perfect piece for it and I hope film producers are being scouted/seeing the show.

BorisTomashevsky said: "This play had me right until the part where she says her co-workers (in a supposedly professional and responsible company) filmed her panic attack with their phones and then shared the video with the outside world. That part was just too far outside the realm of possibility for me.

I also hope the writer has a therapist of his own; you’d hope so with knowing details and processes like those that are encased in the female character’s joband then wanting to put those details onstage."

Yeah I agree with PipingHotPiccolo — I don’t think it’s at all unrealistic/immersion breaking to believe that in a large corporate office that a few people may have filmed something like this. Probably not for entertainments sake, but if I were in that situation sitting across the room in a cubicle and felt my safety could be at risk, yeah I just might take out my phone to record it. On a similar note, I don’t think people would exactly be running around posting their original footage all over LinkedIn or Twitter ala “wowww my coworker is the craziest!” but rather probably sent it to 1-2 immediate friends that sent it to another 1-2 friends and eventually found its way to TMZ.

I loved how one of the biggest ideas the show touched on was how easy it is to dox people. It’s not unrealistic to think someone taped it and leaked it, even if with a non-malicious intention, and the company was able to check the footage to see who would’ve captured it and was responsible.

Not saying that’s how it WOULD have played out but … could have played out. It felt a very reasonable and realistic bit of context to me at least.

On TDF for $20. Tons of availability through mid Sept

Yeah this wasn’t a favorite but it was a net positive for me. I agree with the sentiment that the characterizations and writing is just … a bit superficial.

By and large it’s a great production and I would recommend it if the subject matter jumps out at you.
