It's definitely a venue by venue thing. For the smaller cities, it would make sense they'd need to cut more expenses than a Chicago or San Fransisco would.

Is the Marquis bathroom still unlocked when there isn't a show running currently? I've tried this and some times you need a room key.

It doesn’t take a genius to know what I was referring to. To say that the technical feat of how the title number is staged is extraordinary in scope. Stop being obtuse.

Right?? Just proves the branding is garnering attention which is *literally* the job of advertising. 

The title song has always been one of my least favorites. When I saw it staged for the Glenn revival me and the person I went with had to stifle back laughter at how horrible the song itself is. The pyrotechnics of this production’s staging is what has seemed to elevate it. The Olivier’s performance made me forget all about how horrible I thought the song was previously. 

Alexa, play “A New Day Has Come” by Celine Dion please.

The title of a show has zero to do with if it will catch on are yall being purposefully obtuse here? Very clear that they wouldn’t be targeting tourists for this, particularly in previews. They’ll very much be a Titanique/Oh, Mary audience which is proving to be a financially successful audience.

I’m just glad very few if any of you are actually marketing these things. We’d be in trouble.

I can honestly say I’ve never wanted something less.

This is absurd lol. These rates are a drop in the bucket compared to overall operating costs. They’re cutting Sunday matinees because they don’t sell as well. Quite simple. 

Anyone else think Back to the Future will be a thing of the past come 2025? These numbers have end of the year closing written all over it to me. Esp since it hasn't proven to be a holiday juggernaut to make up for losses that one may initially think given brand recognition. That said, I'm sure the Shuberts would prefer the house have a tenant, so they may cut a deal that extends. I can't think of any large scale musicals that would be eyeing the Winter Garden is there?

Not everything requires a dissertation.

She has had two EXCELLENT seasons at NYCC after her rather disastrous first year. LCT feels like a much more appropriate fit for what she thought she was attempting to do with the works NYCC was putting on where people just want to see the rare show presented the way it was written with top notch casts. Lincoln Center has more latitude to interrogate pieces rather than trying to dissect and reconstruct established pieces with 2 weeks of rehearsal time to see if it even works.

The impact (derogatory) these two have had on current musical theater sound has is one thing I wish we could reverse. 

I’m not saying I hate it, just something wasn’t landing for me and it’s honestly just the size of Megan’s head. I LOVE the images they have of the two of them and Michelle and Chris Seiber in the video ad they’re running on Instagram

He traveled rather far at the Oliviers in those 3 minutes. Thats not a short amount of time for someone who is moving the entire time. But we’ll see!

not sure why an illustration would require a full glam team, gowns, wigs, nails and a…smoke bomb pyrotechnician, but maybe I’m just too dense to actually look into it to find out what it actually is before I comment. I dunno. 

It’s a heavily altered photoshoot and it’s the same photographer as did Sweeney Todd. Save your snark. 

VintageSnarker said: "For me the issue is on the Hilty side of the image. The way the neck twists is poorly done and it looks like they just stuck her head onto a different body. The head is too small in proportion to the body."

This is exactly it. Her head is far too small proportionally. And if the argument is it’s an illustration (it’s not, there’s a photographer credited on Instagram), it’s not reading as such.
