People are mad they canceled Parade bc the projector wasn’t working but if it’s a press night it’s literally so important that every element is working if not a handful of critics don’t get to see the full scope of the production (no matter how small the element seems to you)
It is so important to recognize that THIS is how Broadway is viewed to the general public (whether it’s true or not). What are we as an industry/the league doing to change that perception? (hint: nothing)
Hey
@Roku
, typo here, you meant to say endless BAD live TV. You get what you pay for. Also, for the record, I have seen hundreds of amazing Broadway shows for well under $100.
I need at least one of these R&J productions to highlight the fact that the majority of these characters are kids. Literally in their teens. THATS where the tragedy is, nowhere else. Don’t make me bring a third R&J to the table!
Unironically, The Heart of Rock & Roll is amongst the best things I’ve seen this season. I’m at intermission and it’s the best time I’ve had at show in a long time.
I do think it’s quite amusing when

becomes the villain of theatre twitter for a generally lukewarm take that is so cautiously crafted as to avoid becoming the villain. It happens more often than it should but it never ceases to amaze me when it does Lmao
We, the theatre community, should all be looking at Victory Gardens right now and paying close attention to what’s happening. The state of regional theatre has been deteriorating for the past several years and it has come to a head. Watch closely. Send your support.

I’m laying in bed in Kansas City realizing I make my broadway debut tomorrow. I could never have imagined this would ever happen. Feeling so so thankful.

Anyone that complains that Gayle was “screeching” during ‘Cabaret’ simply didn’t watch the musical and wanted to turn of their brains and put on their favorite musical from the 70s. Rebecca Frecknall put on a masterclass in re-imagining a well known piece.
Has nobody questioned that the only theatre news source to report on the cabaret transfer is Broadway Journal, which I had never heard of until the news came out.
@sporkalob
is THE REALEST for this interview. Since seeing this show two days ago I’ve had basically all of these questions in my head and she just put them in print. Give them the Tony nom and all the resources you have. Wow wow wow.

No those rules don’t apply because the rules laid out in Leviticus were a part of the old covenant. When Jesus came to die on the cross he literally said this is the new covenant and he said to follow the 10 commandments and love your neighbor as yourself, no other caveats

Honestly there’s a solid chance they don’t pay for this billboard anymore and it’s just gone unsold to anyone else so it may just be free advertising. If you ask to change it then they’d have to re-up their payments
I love that every theatre person thinks they’re one who came up with the idea of creating their own theatre company or like it’s a rare thing to happen. Baybee we all go through it, get in line.
Big news🔥
I have the distinct honor of producing this STAR STUDDED concert and being the producing consultant on this incredible show and EP!

Okay this feels like it’s about to blow up and I’m starting to work so: plz follow me. The off-broadway musical I’m producing is about to get announced in February 🤪✌🏽
Looking at the weekly grosses, one might think
@Shucked_Musical
was out of luck. But the new musical’s lead producer was prepared for this. In fact, he practically engineered it. Learn how...
Indecent by Paula Vogel may objectively be the best play in this category and I’m losing my mind that nobody has said it yet. Anyways catch me with an indecent tattoo by the end of the summer

Notice who’s doing it. It’s not the black men and women begging to let them live. It’s a group of opportunists that see this as a reason to cause havoc. Don’t let a few bad apples ruin the point of the movement.
Living in New York is such a scam. What do you mean it costs $4 for a glass of soda and there’s no free refills?? I watched you pour it from the soda gun???

had the only reviews that I would say aptly depicted my time watching it. EVERYONE should go watch it ASAP.
Just saw the bands visit in Boston. After the show the guy in front of me turned around and asked “you okay?” That pretty much sums up my experience. Thank you

I think this actually gives more credit to theatre marketing firms than they deserve. Just like some of y’all think that PR firms purposely leak things to get more attention, it’s just not true. Hiring influencers to do artificial grassroots is genius but nobody would do it.
I’m worried @/Shucked_Musical has contracted independent musical theatre digital influencers to do “grassroots” marketing for them and I don’t like it.
Okay I’ll say it. This Hamilton non-licensed production is being met with such vitriol by people who don’t understand that there is literally no professional regional theatre within 300 miles of the city. McAllen and the entire 956 are victims of ignorance.
This is so real. Being on the producing team for a big off broadway *original* musical, the one thing that was said/heard the most was “well the audience has never heard of this property before so…”
The other issue is that Broadway gatekeepers are VERY reticent to open the doors to anything without title equity. So instead we get badly-executed movie adaptations and “How X became a pop star” bio-musicals. If ticket buyers don’t start supporting new work, it won’t transfer.
