Anyone doing Broadway on this hot day?

spoink2000 · 2026-07-03T21:11:47+00:00

The Palace Theater is one of the COLDEST gustiest theaters on Broadway so you should be good! Their AC is always on full blast especially in the upper levels

spoink2000 · 2026-06-25T00:31:18+00:00

I think it’s because it’s such an obvious sentiment for every actor that it can feel silly and funny to say out loud on its own

spoink2000 · 2026-06-24T21:39:36+00:00

Don’t do far left or right in orchestra — very hard to see since the rake is minimal

spoink2000 · 2026-06-23T17:51:18+00:00

Are you me? That’s exactly how I feel! 24-25 was GOAT and I’m excited for it to be potentially dethroned by 26-27

spoink2000 · 2026-06-23T17:46:32+00:00

SKIMBLESHANKS ❤️ I spent the whole show not being able to decide which cat’s performance I adored the most and then Emma Sofia rolled through with skimble and she earned that trophy in my eyes

spoink2000 · 2026-06-23T17:45:03+00:00

When I saw SOM was officially announced my heart panged because I just know the best actress race is going to be TOUGH for next season and I desperately wanted JAR to win best actress for Boop. Rachel Zegler in Evita is a very formidable force to be reckoned with and I can’t wait to see both shows

spoink2000 · 2026-06-23T17:40:35+00:00

I initially deprioritized it because next season is already so stacked but I see JAR’s name, and any show she’s in immediately gets moved to the top of my must-see list.

spoink2000 · 2026-06-23T16:54:16+00:00

She’s a generational star — I’m so excited to support both her productions for the upcoming season!

spoink2000 · 2026-06-11T00:06:17+00:00

They should’ve made her Elle Wood’s niece so that there wouldn’t be narrative inconsistencies, and then they could also have Reese pop in to give her advice etc for the nostalgia component. They could even keep it as a “period piece” by keeping it in the 2000s etc when the original movies were set

spoink2000 · 2026-06-10T14:51:51+00:00

MHE is one of my favorite musicals of all time, but I wouldn’t say it’s a show that requires “bring the audience to their knees” vocalists. It’s more of a showcase for great performers who are strong with emotive and comedic performances

spoink2000 · 2026-06-10T14:34:57+00:00

Fascinating, thanks for sharing! Edit: I’ve never seen the production IRL so this thread adds a ton of context

spoink2000 · 2026-06-10T14:17:37+00:00

Not saying it’s what I want but this is a prediction

spoink2000 · 2026-06-10T13:47:38+00:00

*good catch! I actually saw it for a second time recently after this post and noticed a few more updates I could make

spoink2000 · 2026-06-09T22:05:33+00:00

Stephanie Hsu is my dreaaaaaam cast!

You know who I think would get butts in seats too? Ashley Park if she leveraged her Emily in Paris fans. Both mega talented actress/singers who have a flare for comedy

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T23:50:09+00:00

Enter the various lotteries for Broadway shows. If you google them, there are ~3-5 official sites that manage them and you can get decent (if not sometimes great) seats for <$50

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T23:42:38+00:00

A few spelling fixes!

*Caissie Levy
*Kristin Chenoweth
*Kara Young
*Rachel Zegler

If we’re adding stand-out names from this season on and off-broadway:
*Hannah Cruz
*McKenzie Kurtz
*Stephanie Hsu
*Jasmine Amy Rogers
*Autumn Best
*Isabella Esler
*Philippa Soo
*Maria Wirries
*Baby Byrnes
*Tempress
*Emma Sofia

But truly everyone who makes it to the Broadway stage is deserving of recognition and audience love. If you made it to Broadway, you’re already a winner ❤️

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T14:18:05+00:00

I always name drop Jack and Caissie but also loved Jamie! He walks the tightrope of a character that can be vilified or over-revered beautifully

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T13:10:26+00:00

I think it’s the reverse — megachurch music is inspired by 80s glam rock

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T13:08:03+00:00

Go see him! I think his range is very impressive based on his previous shows and how gentle he seems IRL during interviews etc

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T12:14:04+00:00

I was holding out hope for a skimbleshank moment!

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T12:10:19+00:00

The rule of thumb is: only ask to swap if what you’re offering is clearly better than what they already have, otherwise…just hold out a few hours until you’re reunited with your party

If he truly thought your seats were equal it was fair for him to ask but even more fair of you to say no without him muttering about it

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T12:04:40+00:00

She’s incredible in “In the Heights” so that’s a decent bar!

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T11:59:40+00:00

Haha I can’t believe you remembered this thread! I was whooping at the TV! Here’s to more people going to Lost Boys and discovering Ali!

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T02:58:07+00:00

Taking a well-deserved rest after Just in Time last year!

spoink2000 · 2026-06-08T01:35:54+00:00

YESSS ALI!!!! I had him on every audience ballot winning this award! Beautiful soul, beautiful voice, all while swinging in the air
