I was surprised by this one. In the early scenes, I worried that we were going to be heading into some very familiar territory, but the play (to its benefit) ended up being something more slippery and engaged than the anti-AI diatribe I thought it would become. 
 

I’ll agree that it’s a show that hits the head a lot more than the heart. That does seem intentional, at least to me. Very glad I caught it.

Thrilling casting. I love Hunter’s work and am very ready for this one.

Can anyone speak to the seating? Particularly the table seats—how close together they are, how the sightlines are? Is it best to see this from the traditional seating?

I was t the biggest fan of this show, but there were some truly great performances. Here’s hoping lots of the cast is booked for new work sooner than later.

I hope I’ll have a chance to the the CTG/Deaf West production. I loved it on Broadway. While I will generally root for a musical with an original score to garner more awards attention, I thought that season had two visionary “jukebox” shows (this and Fela), and that it was a damn shame that Memphis won the Tony. I really loathed that show. 

There isn’t a single one of these remakes to date that I would choose to watch over the original animated version. This doesn’t look any better or worse than the rest of them to me, so it seems the intense animosity towards Zegler in particular is driving most of the negative reaction here. That said…her wig in the trailer is a crime. 

The Wiz is such an interesting case. It's doing so well that I wonder if they might try to bring it back through in the next couple years since it's already the touring production. 

 

I have NO idea if that's possible, but it tickles my brain.

Having also adored this production of Next to Normal, I’m so glad you paid extra attention to Eleanor Worthington Cox who is the giving the richest and most wonderful performance I’ve seen in the role. It’s a dynamite cast, and I think she’s really special in it.

I was surprised by the pricing on this. Figured there'd be a solid deal to get somewhere in the auditorium. I plan on seeing this, but I'm going to hold off for hopefully some cheaper options.

Do you know when Streetcar was rumored for the Hudson? This is a 14 week run, per the email, so…there wouldn’t be time to get Streetcar in this season, but it could still be coming next summer maybe?

It does. An email announcing a presale tomorrow doesn’t name the Hudson, but it lists the address of that theater.

Boop to the Broadhurst in Spring takes the list on page 1 of this thread to 7 theaters definitely available at least by Spring. 
 

I’m rooting for at least one out-of-left-field show that no one is talking about to surprise us and come in.

Anyone have the presale code?

This is genuinely exciting casting. Looking forward to finding out who will round out the cast!

According to an email yesterday, presale was supposed to start at 10 today, but the code hasn't come through for me yet.

Is this accurate? They played to similar capacities, and & Juliet had the higher average ticket cost. And it's recouped. Based on costs to run, I'd think Juliet's doing better than Gatsby (not that the latter is in bad shape).
