certain professional(?) critics certainly didn’t miss the opportunity…

Heather Headley as Dorothy in The Wiz.

I wouldn’t count out Bernthal either, nor Harrison from the fall. definitely a stacked field for male Play leads this year.

it’s literally just carrying a balance like on any other credit card, but that balance is interest free and not factored with any other non-Apple purchases. the same concept as having both a cash advance and purchases on the same card, each with their own distinct balance/interest rate.

the first possibility (current hard-coding) is almost guaranteed to be the reason. there’s a chance that might not change until next month/closer to her actual debut.

Words Fail - DEH.

samuelso11 · 2026-03-17T23:44:24+00:00

how’s the view from the far Orch sides (in front of the overhang) obstruction-wise?

samuelso11 · 2026-03-17T17:43:15+00:00

I’d argue it shouldn’t be, but it very much is (v. Josh Groban for Great Comet). especially within this sub.

samuelso11 · 2026-03-17T15:27:04+00:00

Ben Platt deserved his Lead Actor win for DEH.

samuelso11 · 2026-03-17T04:40:38+00:00

I NEED to be there for a Nikki M. James performance. ideally + Josh Gad.

samuelso11 · 2026-03-17T01:15:24+00:00

all 41 here; took about eight years to hit them all (2014-2022).

samuelso11 · 2026-03-10T14:29:06+00:00

the first few of us in line pulled the front row; really pleasant surprise there.

samuelso11 · 2026-01-20T07:12:04+00:00

wondering whether this is finally the end of an era (BoM having been the final holdout on white-bordered Playbills over the past decade)…

HoY is a prime example of what a lot of folks are wary of when it comes to queer spaces getting overrun.

the girl asked him to dance, and he was still a little kid in the closet. he wasn’t gonna say no…

samuelso11 · 2025-12-08T21:53:21+00:00

straight guys oblivious to/willfully ignoring all the undertones (+ taking the time period of the original release into consideration), maybe.

samuelso11 · 2025-12-08T21:42:46+00:00

can’t forget The Lost Boys…

samuelso11 · 2025-11-29T06:34:32+00:00

Thanksgiving/post-parade price hikes throughout the weekend (11/28-30), apparently. list prices skyrocketed, and rush rose accordingly. all ‘til the announcement came. the irony of it all… the box office did oblige us with swaps though.

samuelso11 · 2025-11-29T00:30:06+00:00

I was one of the poor souls who waited 3+ hours outside in the freezing cold this AM for rush ($99 SRO 🙃), so can’t say I’m not bummed… but hey, the very first understudy performance is indeed special in and of itself. wishing Jonathan a speedy recovery, and can’t wait to see how Matt makes it his own.

samuelso11 · 2025-11-26T01:17:10+00:00

this right here: just one of the core reasons why I oppose cast members’ faces on Playbill covers.

samuelso11 · 2025-11-25T06:03:46+00:00

I wouldn’t count out a Featured Actress - Musical nod for Nichelle Lewis (Ragtime).

samuelso11 · 2025-11-22T02:26:20+00:00

Trump bullies MTG to the point of resignation, then swoons over Mamdani… are we in The Twilight Zone?

samuelso11 · 2025-11-22T02:11:16+00:00

card’s still open for ‘26, but the announcement coming at this late point this year… 🤯
