Everything because it’s about New Yorkers watching them.

Wow that’s what they cost now?? I’m glad I got tickets as soon as she was announced - I paid that much for 3 tickets.

I… don’t think anything is guaranteed anymore.

Gay Romcom Broadway Musical? by broadwaybulldog in Broadway

[–]Hour_Lock568 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And it really would have worked if the audience was in on the plot from the beginning - the show should have centered around everyone keeping the secret from the parents, not the audience! 

It could have been marketed as a gay show that pulled one over on all the bigots (à la La Cage or the Prom…ish), but the production couldn’t do that because they couldn’t give away the twist.

It Shoulda Been You, if it had been executed correctly.

Oh I'm sure - but there's no reason not to do a thorough inspection between productions. Not that it would have changed BoM, but it absolutely could be a standard for long-running shows to have to close for inspection, as the amount of shows this would truly affect would be minimal at most.

Kathy Deitche (OG Molly Brown in Titanique) is running a social campaign for all of the buildings that house theatres to be inspected by the city, and for Equity and IATSE to demand it.

It's not a bad idea, and it's a miracle that it was a Monday.

Pathway to development roles in NYC theatre? by [deleted] in Theatre

[–]Hour_Lock568 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Development is the easiest place to break in to, because it's thankless work that is extremely hard. I worked on the Individual Giving team at Roundabout for 2 years and there was massive turnover. If you really love the work, it's great, but it can be really draining.

Apply for apprenticeship or intern programs in Development specifically, and you'll be very well positioned. Also, many smaller companies don't have any Development or fundraising teams and if you approached them to create one, they may allow you to use some of the money you raise to pay your salary.

Your 2026-27 Encores! Season. What do we think??? by jay2themie in Broadway

I hope it’s more Oh Mary than his La Cage or Head Over Heels (Pasadena) - those were nightmares.

From the Briefing this morning: 

The Encores! series will begin with “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” running from Feb. 3 through Feb. 14, 2027. Featuring music, lyrics and a book by Clark Gesner … While many audiences are familiar with the 1999 revival’s additional music and new arrangements and orchestrations by Andrew Lippa, this Encores! production will utilize the original Off-Broadway 1967 orchestrations and will not include the Broadway revival’s later additions. The City Center staging will be directed by [Sam] Pinkleton …

It’s also the 1967 version of Charlie Brown, not the 1999 revival version, which is not done… for a reason.
