TAMMY FAYE will transfer to Broadway in 2024-2025 Season
 Jun 17 2024, 05:24:40 PM

Broadway Flash said: "There’s also Neil Patrick Harris who could do it. He’d sell tickets"

Not trying to hate on Neil, but something tells me he's highly unlikely to do a show where his character is not the main focus...


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/14/24
 Apr 18 2024, 05:21:10 PM

"I’d rather shows take their time to finish developing and come to Broadway when they’re ready and set up for success, rather than the “Quick! This is our chance!” mentality this season’s producers seem to have. We’re oversaturated with new shows that will be gone before most people even have time to catch them, and some of the most consistently mediocre reviews I’ve read in a minute.

“Quality over quantity” has rarely


Lea Michele's Next Broadway Project Post-Baby #2

It's probably safe to assume that whatever role she had planned is now on hold due to her 2nd pregnancy.


Rob Madge's MY SON'S A QUEER... not at the Lyceum February 2024
 Feb 8 2024, 01:39:30 PM

Just for my own curiosity...

If the team (theoretically) said "okay, Broadway was clearly too ambitious, let's do something more realistic..." and tried to book an Off-Broadway/much smaller house, is that something that would now be made more difficult due to this cancelation [announcement] and it being seeing as a kind of "tainted" production, or does that not really matter either way?


Sufjan Stevens & Justin Peck's "Illinoise"

Does anyone have any discount codes for this?


Great songs given to minor/insignificant characters
 Feb 5 2024, 04:01:55 PM

"Understudy Buddy" from Goosebumps the musical is the best and catchiest song by far and is sung by a very minor character in the show. I've already heard it quite a bit at auditions and showcases.

Cyndi Lauper has been overdue for a while.

I'm curious... What didn't they like?

Looks like this got fantastic reviews and is set to return to London later this year. Did anyone see it?

Definitely one of the new shows that I'm most looking forward to.

Saw a casting notice for this on social media saying this is opening at ART in October.


Was Madonna any good in "Speed-the-Plow"?

Scott19 said: "@Jarethan is bang-on. The play was meh and short. Silver and Mantegna were good. And I thought Madonna was fine. The role didn't demand much of her. That's what she delivered.

The thing that I remember more than the play was the crazy stage door scene when we were trying to exit the theatre. Barricades everywhere. It took some effort to get out of the area.

Much like a lot of todays stage doors, unfortunately.

Bettyboy72 said: "Madonna is serviceable in some roles. Playing herself works best. Her fresh style and confidence in Desperately Seeking Susan led folks to believe she had acting chops. Sadly, acting is not in her wheelhouse.

Vulnerability, the most vital tool in the arsenal of a great actor, is not a strength of Madonna's. And I say that as a fan. She calculates everything. The richest actors find moments in vulnerability that Madonna can't access.

She was fine. Definitely not acting that was gonna win her any awards but I think much like “Bad Cinderella” right now, people reeeeally wanted to hate her and so a lot did. And I speak having been able to watch a video of her in it pretty re

Yes, I'm aware that I could look up professional reviews. I was more interested in hearing what people on these boards thought, as I find that much more interesting than professional critics.

Who saw it? How was she?


How was Cyndi Lauper in "Threepenny Opera"?
 May 25 2023, 01:58:49 PM

I'm still really curious as to why she wasn't nominated her year. Was it just a super stacked year and she fell through the cracks? I know I could look it up but I'm more interestied in hearing what you all think.

I'd also be curious to see her take a stab at Follies.
