Why has he been banned? I find him annoying as hell, but do t remember reading anything truly offensive…mostly stupid and hyperbolic."
Its anyones guess what broke the proverbial camel's back, but off the top of my head, Flash has accused The Outsiders of being appealing only to gay men who want to ogle the young case, complained about too many Orthodox Jews in their neighborhood, and claimed a NYT critic was only hired because hes Latino. None of these comments merited any rebuke, to my knowledge, from the moderators, so I imagine it was along these lines but even more overtly offensive.

What do you consider affordable?"
Under $100 because it would be for three people. This and Sunset Boulevard are the shows I'm unlikely to get tickets for that my parents would probably most enjoy. If those fail, there's always Mattress and Gatsby.

VintageSnarker, I don't know about Cabaret, but I see Mezz seats for Sunset Blvd at $88 or Balcony for $66.

I don’t want to re-litigate this, but they continually posted racist, homophobic, antisemitic, and xenophobic statements. They were even temporarily banned earlier this year because of it. Most of their worst offenses were deleted, leaving little trace unless you’re a very active member and saw it in real time.
(To say nothing of them baiting people into circular arguments and derailing many threads).

You know he (tho profile said “she”) will be back with a different user name.
For now we’ll just have our memories — and BWW in-boxes full of creeper messages. 😅🤦🏻♂️

At first I thought I was the only one getting the messages but felt better when others mentioned they were receiving them as well.
As far as a new profile I felt they already had one or two while they were still here. Time will tell.
But staying on thread I was trying to figure out when Cabaret will be reviewed again and if I should wait till then to purchase tickets.

I wonder if they will be reviewed again. Since this is intended to be a long-running revival (though I doubt the staying power without genuine star casting), they’ll likely hold off until at least a few years down the line. At least from any genuine critics.
Shame on me, but I saw it again the other night and left at intermission. Adam and Auli’i are certainly warmer and more inviting performers than their predecessors; but the production is still an over-directed, over-shouted, under-paced slog. Accent work? Nuance? Scene to scene coherence? Don’t know her; never met her.

This is why I have been on the fence about seeing this production. I saw the Mendes production more times than I will admit and thought that was brilliant.
