Shocked the reference to The Show About That Guy is still up--i think the moderators have a full time intern policing that conduct.

But until I hear that what P Diddy was accused of (credibly, in a major Federal complaint, unlike various other unsubstantiated rumors that gossipmongers like to discuss in these parts) was evident to the other people in the production, I'm not sure what the big deal is. 

this has to be the dumbest named show in a long while. i was on subway platform today and overheard tourists just looking at the different posters (oh we saw six, oh id like to see cabaret) and they just did not know what to make of a gay jamboree. as im typing this i cant even tell you what its really about, and i say that knowing how talented marla mindelle is.

The silhouette and the two clues (bloody hands, Hamilton reference) sure suggest Nicholas Christopher but he seems too mature/strapping for the part and hes IN Hamilton so I dont get it?

What would the "waiting for you" reference be re Sherie Rene Scott?

I suspect a West End transfer announcement is soon."

Yeah, the extension of one week sorta buries the lede re RNJ here, though I'd love to see what she could do with the more central role of Diana. Cute shes back with Will Brill on Broadway.

I certainly wish her well and you are right that we should all be doing that first and foremost, but to be fair my understanding was that she is fine, and tested positive due to ongoing screenings, not because she was suffering any symptoms, etc. 

Marsha Mason isnt a draw, but I think her name triggers enough memory bells that it still feels like youre seeing Someone and Not The Understudy--especially for the older crowds this play is surely targeting.

I know her mostly from her time on Frasier, but I can see her doing nicely with this role. Hope today goes smoothly. V curious to hear reports.

theyve made numerous ugly comments about various ethnicities, the moderators have no problem with it at all.

Unfortunate situation because Mia it the real reason to see this

Also amplifies the silliness of the decision to scream the two stars names at the start of the show

one irritating inappropriate person does not turn a whole audience into a bad one? 

audience was fine, even better than fine, though I was seated (front right mezz) next to someone who loudly reacted to EVERY moment in the show- WOW! OH NO! OMIGOD! NO! WOW!-- and therefore belongs in prison. 

but an anomaly for sure, audience was overall great and very enthusiastic (and sold out upstairs)

this subject matter and this cast both right up my alley, but an ad making a pun out of Jan 6 is a wild turn off. yes its a free country, and they can/should do whatever they want, but the VERY POINT of advertising is to cause a reaction. im just having the opposite one of what they intended.

this is a rare treat: big names that are also genuinely talented and belong on stage. Messing and Krakowski are two of the greatest comedic TV actresses ever, so I'm thrilled to hear this will be a comedy that will show off their strengths. Really excited.

You're too on the internet (I am too, its not a criticism). The universe of people who were going to see a Harry Potter show but are now too angry about JK Rowling's ongoing descent into ugliness--is a tiny one. 

this has happened numerous times. meltdowns caught on film at the workplace? literally a regular occurrence and one of the more believable, ripped-from-real-life elements of this play.
