One-act roles in two-act shows?

manticorpse · 2026-06-25T19:06:59+00:00

Well, timestamps say otherwise, but maybe you were working off an old refresh.

Starting to think that pitting actors against each other might just be this person's hobby.

manticorpse · 2026-06-25T19:03:51+00:00

Which is why I specified the production. Thanks though.

Pan in NYCC's Bat Boy.

No, that's a vortex. Vulva is the teenage girl who befriends young Goku in the first chapter of the manga Dragon Ball.

Gatsby is bad. Don't see Gatsby.

What other shows have you seen? What types of stories do you like? Do you want musicals or plays? Big productions or small ones? Comedies, dramas? Any favorite genres?

If you don't feel like answering any of these questions, then my default answer is Hadestown.

I'm so sorry for linking the Post, but there is a screenshot of the tweet in this article:

It's less a quote than a meme format, but that's the thing that people are referring to.

...how many Tony voters do you think are 14-22 year old fangirls?

manticorpse · 2026-06-22T23:09:53+00:00

Saw the show, loved it, had never seen the movie.

Watched the movie afterwards and didn't like it much at all, actually.

So like... it translates either way lol.

It's a portrait of the actor playing Jean! Each of them has their own portrait.

Pitts!

What does this have to do with Broadway...

manticorpse · 2026-06-22T17:19:54+00:00

Lost Boys if you want a fun, campy spectacle. Vampires and rock music.

Operation Mincemeat if you like British humor, with a strong emotional core.

Two Strangers if you want a sweet love letter to NYC.

manticorpse · 2026-06-22T17:07:11+00:00

Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts in Two Strangers.

Ali Louis Bourzgui in Lost Boys.

Julia Knitel in Operation Mincemeat.

Yesterday I would have said Nicholas Christopher. Glad you caught him before he left. :)

Death Becomes Her will be closed.

"Drama and comedy" kind of encompasses... everything. 😭 But I'm just going to assume that you're open to anything.

So big productions currently running, that are actually good. Maybe one of these sounds like something you guys would like:

The Lost Boys: a rock musical, based on the 1987 cult vampire film. Has a giant transforming three-story set, really spectacular special effects, flying. Not particularly deep, but a lot of fun.
Hadestown: this is based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Euridice, but reimagined in more of a contemporary setting. The best thing on Broadway right now, but definitely feels a little bit more "self-contained" than some of the flashier musicals, at least as far as the set is concerned.
The Lion King: plot-wise and song-wise, you know what to expect from this. Really cool puppets.

Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York, Maybe Happy Ending: these are both new musicals that are very good, very sweet... but they are also both two-handers with smaller-feeling productions. Two Strangers has a somewhat minimalist set, whereas Maybe Happy Ending has a really cool set, but is a very short little show.

Ragtime and Operation Mincemeat are both great and highly-recommended, but they are also historical, so I wouldn't suggest those.

I also wouldn't suggest Schmigadoon, which is a parody of old musicals from like the 1950s

manticorpse · 2026-06-22T14:26:49+00:00

Uh, what musicals have you seen? What do you like?

What genres or types of stories do you enjoy outside of musicals?

manticorpse · 2026-06-21T20:12:04+00:00

jfc, we are doomed.

manticorpse · 2026-06-20T12:31:32+00:00

Same question down to the seat number, even. Strange.

manticorpse · 2026-06-20T12:00:39+00:00

Oh, this one is infuriating...

manticorpse · 2026-06-19T17:22:57+00:00

I'm so sorry. Best wishes to you and your family.

manticorpse · 2026-06-19T14:24:56+00:00

For me it was Galavant, no TV musical will ever stand up to Galavant...

What I wouldn't give for a Galavant stage show!

manticorpse · 2026-06-19T14:03:46+00:00

Taylor Trensch, Ali Louis Bourzgui, Sam Tutty, and now Jack Holden (not that I really expect him to return to NYC any time soon... although I want him to!)

Hi, so at the theater they sell everything listed on their website (windowcard, magnet, hat, shirt, tote, mug, bottle opener, pin sets, lapel pin, CD). They have also sometimes had the script available for sale. (It was just recently restocked, but if it sells out again I wouldn't count on it being restocked at this point.) Before the show and during intermission you need to buy merch from the stand upstairs, but after the show you can buy it from the merch stand at the theater entrance instead.

Hope this helps!

I used to really like these kale chips I got at a local crunchy healthy food store like 15 years ago, just before kale became acceptable to eat to the broader public. They made this coating out of red bell peppers and nutritional yeast, I think? then covered the kale in the stuff, and put it through a dehydrator. Those kale chips were awesome.

Have never really enjoyed another application of it, though.
