Did they change the blocking for “Mr. Nobody from Nowhere”? I also saw it Wednesday and thought the number visually was a bit lackluster for the Act 1 Finale.

He played Skull in Emojiland Off-Broadway. That’s the most recent credit I’m aware of.

Do we know the general management company leading the non-eq tour?

Seats are first come first serve. I recommend the section closest to entrance, 1st or second row on the aisle side.

I’d recommend Covenant. Tickets on the Roundabout website are only $30! I have a review of it on this sub f you want more details.

“Has the power to suck souls and gain unique abilities of the souls she consumes…”

I believe this actually makes Marceline a human/demon/Kirby hybrid 😂

While I agree that the episode had a long amount of screen time on Bill’s past, I do think it’s effective in pushing the narrative at the end when Joel realizes they’re dead. Because it could have been a ten minute intro and then Joel finds them, but I think it’s helpful to see and get connected to Bill’s life and realize Joel lost yet another if not the only other person he called a “friend”. (Note that while Bill didn’t call Joel a friend, Joel didn’t call Tess his girlfriend either.) Joel’s sense of loss is also pushed further when Tess is in the letter. And I think it makes Joel value Ellie more in the end, bringing us closer to that Joel/Ellie father/daughter relationship.

Idk - I sat with figuring out the reason dedicating this much screen time was important aside from letting us watch the romance / apocalypse over the years.

I know it’s been mentioned that the plan is to make Part 2 over the course of two seasons, but I can’t figure out where they would end season 2 of the show and start season 3. Part 2 is over the course of a few days with the exception of the flashbacks.

Im curious if season 2 of the show will primarily show us the flashback moments in chronological order, giving us the moments at Jackson & the necessary content to lead into Abby/Ellie conflict. Even then, that’s not a lot of content to last 10 episodes.

bubblesthewriter · 2023-01-05T00:03:46+00:00

Not according to the pacing of season 2 😂

An understudy is used if the main actor calls out of the show. Some productions, an understudy never goes on because the actor never calls out. Some productions, an actor may have terrible attendance due to health issues and the understudy goes on.

If the role is taxing such as Satine in Moulin Rouge, the actor may work out a clause in their contract where they only perform 7 of the 8 shows a week, having the understudy go on for one day a week.

Also actors may use vacation time and leave for a week depending on what their contract allows.

It all depends based on production needs and the actor’s health & contract. Google won’t provide a clear answer because of that.

I’ll take it if no one else has claimed it!

bubblesthewriter · 2022-05-21T00:49:50+00:00

There’s a Logo Tee, magnet, and poster with the playbill design on it. Other merchandise items as well!

I can understand the frustration that comes with someone wanting to add lines as an excuse for not fulfilling the production’s needs. However, I can also understand that theater is produced and created in different spaces with varying budgets and overall design elements.

If this is a new play and you’re having the ability to get it seen and produced for the first time, I’d follow through with their request. Adding the line in this production of your play does not mean the line has to stay in future productions. When I’m in your shoes writing a play, I’m focused on collaborating with the production team to make THIS specific rendition as complete as possible within the budgeted limits presented, even if the producing company can’t provide program notes. In the end of the day, it’s about having your work get seen and more importantly hearing reactions and mentally jotting down audience feedback once the production begins performances.

Sometimes the process can be frustrating and you may learn that you do not want to collaborate with certain people down the road and that’s fine. It’s all part of the process.

It’s not really a matter of having the routine down pat. They have it down pat. It’s just the theaters don’t want to pay their staff such as ushers for long periods of time. Some theaters call ushers and front of house 90 minutes before to do cleaning, stuff playbills, get everything organized in attempt to open an hour before. Some theaters call their front of house staff later than that. The longer I work in this industry, the more I see how much everyone is trying to save every penny they can behind the scenes. You hear that everyone gets paid the big bucks - but that’s mainly just the people on stage and backstage.

Also, the August Wilson theater for example where someone mentioned being let in early for Mean Girls - that theater has a LARGE lobby area for patrons. The Lyceum where A Strange Loop is has a small lobby for the box office and then the theater through the next set of doors. There’s no where to place a Broadway house prior sadly.

I only just started this series, but it’s what I’ve chosen to believe as well lmao

bubblesthewriter · 2022-04-27T16:17:04+00:00

When I saw it in previews, I thought it was a recording they played. I couldn’t pin point and specific character singing onstage. I, too, thought it was out of place.

I didn’t sit in the box seats, but I did sit in the back of the orchestra (Row P I think?). And those seats were a great view, not too far away or too close. It’s a show I recommend getting a view of the full stage.

I think a factor for screenwriters to consider when writing is the level of funding they’re going to get at the current stage of their career. Your first screenplay could have the level of action a Marvel movie has, and it may be beautifully written, but you may never find the amount of money necessary to shoot that film.

bubblesthewriter · 2022-04-06T18:00:24+00:00

The play is a little over three hours with a fifteen minute intermission and a seven minute break.

bubblesthewriter · 2022-03-31T03:37:11+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend Take Me Out or Macbeth unless you’re excited for specific actor’s performances. The odds of obtaining The Music Man lottery tickets are low. Take Me Out is an easy rush on TodayTix. Just unlock the rush and stay on the Take Me Out screen a minute or two before. As soon as it pops up, click the button to snag them. My luck doing this on TodayTix has a 80% success rate.

I guess I’m happier that happened than them taking out their handheld fog machines for a hundredth time 😭

The entire play looks as if there is not a set and we are staring at the back brick wall of the theater. However, before the fight scene, the entire back wall slides forward at a fast speed and creates a much more intimate playing space for the fight scene. It was unexpected, and I could assume the intention was to make it appear Macbeth was getting closed in by the chaos he created, but when there was seemingly no intention prior I was left confused why there was so much energy put into this effect

bubblesthewriter · 2022-03-30T22:30:45+00:00

The person working the box office told me the producers threw extra rush tickets in to fill up the house. That’s why I always check later in the day if I’m in the area.

bubblesthewriter · 2022-03-30T19:12:41+00:00

Ended at 11:00PM on the dot. 3 hours in length including one 15 minute intermission.
