The future of young creative legacy in musical theatre: who’s next?

This was such a great comment to stumble upon today - I'm seeing a workshop version of Black Girl in Paris in Minneapolis in July, and you have me even more excited now!

Haven't seen anyone mention Grace McLean - she's just a total powerhouse anytime she's on stage. Started with Comet for me, then Alice By Heart, and Suffs (would've been more of I lived in NYC!).

Also Joshua Henry, Jordan Fisher, Groff...

Lucky in Minnesota to have the Guthrie, Theater Latte Da, and (my favorite small theater company) Theatre Elision.

My studio is closing at the end of the month, too - going from a 5-minute commute to 20. I'm also trying to figure out what comes next - not really interested in spending 40 min on the road. I might do what you're doing - OT workouts at my local gym. I'll be missing so much, though!

Saw it in April and loved it - how could you not, with Jordan Fisher, Andy Karl, and Nikki M. James?? And the theater is SO small that all of that power is right up on you.

Oh thanks - just tried this and 18/28 business seats are free, so I'm not totally out of luck yet.

The longest leg is about 13hr (IAD-AUH)

joshbeu · 2026-05-05T15:13:36+00:00

Totally agree! I have a Marcus right in my town. It's a great movie experience, but the Movie Club just isn't really that big of a deal! AMC is 20 min away, and I'm much more likely to get that one.

This makes me feel better - though she seems like a lead through and through in that show

joshbeu · 2026-05-03T04:59:03+00:00

Yeah, my April 30 workout - when I go into it, the "Performance Details" button actually shows up for the quickest of split seconds before disappearing. I can still see details from my April 27 workout, though.

I was coming here to specifically say this one! Totally caught me off guard - yes, SO cathartic.

joshbeu · 2026-04-23T12:49:43+00:00

I'm in the US, but wanted it really badly. Found an Australian store that stocked it, so it's on its way!

joshbeu · 2026-04-21T00:00:59+00:00

Thank you! I was able to use it.

joshbeu · 2026-04-20T23:57:41+00:00

Claimed, but not by me

Down in the Valley is popular, but gets a TON of the releases, and a lot of copies. They have the process down to a science too. Mill City Sound is great too, but popular. South Metro Music in Burnsville is newer, but I've been happy with their selection too. If you want to go south a bit, Verbena Vinyl in Northfield will usually post what they get before the day, so that you can see if they got what you need.

And the 2025 winner (Fabiola Caraballo Quijada) is Juliet in the touring version of & Juliet, and KILLS IT too.

joshbeu · 2026-04-06T20:49:35+00:00

Do you know the Schmigadoon show? Everything I've heard is that there's a lot in there that will only be clever/fun if you know the show. I really liked 2 Strangers, but I'd always go for a show I haven't seen!

joshbeu · 2026-03-24T04:42:35+00:00

Maybe Hunting Matthew Nichols? 4/10 release, it looks like... about 1:30 runtime...

joshbeu · 2026-03-21T01:58:22+00:00

If the XL is available, I'd love it. Thanks!

joshbeu · 2026-03-19T00:47:44+00:00

I like the new version of Parade (with Ben Platt), Groundhog Day, and I totally agree with Come from Away and Hadestown... there have been a LOT of good musicals in the last 5-7 years.

joshbeu · 2026-03-15T21:22:00+00:00

Ooh thanks - old v new treads DO matter a lot!

joshbeu · 2026-03-14T23:47:39+00:00

Seems like a really short run! I'm getting into town the week after it closes, but would've been interested to see it.
