Metcalf stars in Hunter’s LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD at Steppenwoolf, directed by Mantello Jun 24
2024, 07:41:14 PM
Have to say I really miss the time when we got at least one Metcalf play every season. Guess no one is willing to mount these seemingly less profitable productions at such a pace after Scott Rudin went down.

BEN PLATT: LIVE AT THE PALACE Threads Jun 8

PipingHotPiccolo said: "Aw, sweets, since Ben is doing a nightly show on 47/bway, I'm guessing he's staying in some apartment somewhere in town, and I just saw Beanie at dinner a few weeks ago in the West 80s, but yes, its true, they are so successful and unbothered by the loons on this board, that I agree they would be laughing at them from whichever well appointed residence they happen to be in at any given moment."

THE NOTEBOOK Broadway Previews Jun 3
2024, 06:08:10 PM
I don't think this is racial blind but rather very cleverly racially conscious. Remember the story happened mainly in the 60s and 70s, and the notebook was written by Allie, who in the present day is a white woman. You would think what would happen if in the story Allie is white and Noah is black, and suddenly it makes sense that Allie's parents would treat Noah the way they did, including calling police on him for "kidnapping," not just because Noah is a lumberjack. You might think it is a r

EDSOSLO858 said: "From Judy Garland and Harry Belafonte to Liza Minnelli and Elvis Presley, Broadway’s past and present will come together as Platt graces the stage, adding a new unforgettable chapter to the Palace’s storied legacy.”
What does this mean? Will he perform numbers by these legends, or does it simply state the fact that these legends have performed at Palace?

Why is Merrily Closing? May 25
2024, 08:08:48 AM
Merrily is a show that demands the camaraderie between at least the three main characters to actually work. Otherwise you get a production devoid of the sincerity that grounds the jaded facades of other aspects of the show.

Dame Judi : Trigger Warnings May 15

I like going to a show knowing absolutely nothing about it. That said, people can be triggered and I also agree that such warnings should be available at request.

Tom Holland's Romeo and Juliet to Transfer to Broadway? Apr 8
2024, 08:35:38 AM
I suspect a large portion of the audience that the casting choice is aiming to attract might be in the rude awakening that this is a Shakespear play that requires a proper understanding of the English language rather than West Side Story where the bar is much, much lower.

Baker's Wife in Into The Woods Arc Feb 23
2024, 02:27:10 PM
I think the idea is that she's finally living for and as herself, and not the "baker's wife." Until the affair, all she did was fulfilling the traditional gender roles of being a wife: having a baby and providing support for her husband. Never was she afforded freedom to do something that's just for her, and her alone. The fulfillment is the discovery of self: "Just remembering you've had an and when you are back to or, makes the or mean

Any chance we'll see Daniel Fish's Oklahoma! again? Feb 18
2024, 09:01:47 AM
Wayman_Wong said: "''It was not particularly well-received on the road.''
That's an understatement. When I saw this ''Oklahoma!'' on tour, the audience response was tepid and polite at best. And there were a number of walkouts. Christopher Barrow, who played Jud Fry, wrote an essay about it for Howlround.com: ''Surviving in the States: Audience Rejection on the Road With 'Oklahoma!' '' (Just for the record, the best ''Oklahoma!'' I've ever seen was Arena Stage's 2010 multi-ethnic, theater-in-the-round revival, directed by Molly Smith and led by Nicholas Rodriguez, who won a Helen Hayes Award for his Curly.THIS is the great ''Oklahoma!'' that should've played Circle in the Square.)

Hmm no. Are you implying the taste of the regional theater circle, which has been proven drastically different from that of New York, should determine which production should play in a New York theater?

On the contrary, Fish was able to truly show the dark piece it is."
There is no way on earth Rodgers and Hammerstein would agree had they seen it.
I think there is room for interpretations like this because Oklahoma! is a classic that ca

Apart from being a fan from Ingrid, the biggest draw for me is Maryann Plunket. Her performance in the Richard Nelson plays at Public was mesmerizing and I revisit the PBS recordings of the Apple Family and Gabriel Family series from time to time. Truly magical. If her performance in this show is half as good, I would consider it 200 bucks well spent.
