This is what we call a "forced separation."
Work has been so crazy, I have not been able to keep up with tumblog. Hoping things return to normal operations soon!
In the meantime, I now have lined up tickets for The Book of Mormon; One Man, Two Guvnors; and Newsies. I am quite excited.
I have three other slots for shows still open during my trip. I’m considering:
Ghost, Anything Goes, Carrie (if it’s still open - I swear I...

Just think about it.
You know you want that to happen. And so do the Ratings People.

In the News
So, rather than reblog a bunch of links that aren’t pretty anyway, I thought I’d try things as a list of links. We’ll see how it goes.
There are only three links to share today:
2 come from Playbill’s Screening Room:
The first is Jeremy Jordan discussing Joyful Noise, which I am having a really hard time trying not to think of it as the Sister Act rip-off (both 1 and...

Let's Talk Grosses! (Week #31)
Broadway Grosses. Week ending 1/1/2012. (2012! Crazy-pants!) Numerous 9-show schedules. Let’s do this.
New Shows
Bonnie & Clyde wrapped up its last week on Broadway by pulling in a personal-best $526,181 - an 86.85% cap with average tickets cost coming in at nearly 75 dollars. A great way to go out.
Lysistrata Jones also had a great week, jumping back to above 60% cap and bringing in...

Let’s be honest here.
The writing was in the Grosses.
Such a bummer.
Esp. since I just figured out how to spell “Lysistrata” without looking. (Joking.)(Sort of.)
Fingers crossed for a cast album?

A 30 Day Musical Challenge.
I’ve seen this little challenge floating around a ton of Tumblr feeds and I thought it might lay a lovely foundation for this tumblr, blog, thing. (A tumblog? A tumb?a tlog?)
Fair warning, tomorrow I will be looking at the news for the last couple of days regarding the Great White Way, so I apologize in advance for the onslaught.
For those who haven’t seen the 30 Day challenge, here...

Is anyone else a bit…weirded out by the whole Will Chase/Debra Messing dating thing?
Not because them dating is weird, more the whole Will Chase - who was my last Broadway Roger in Rent and had an excellent cameo on The Battery’s Down - is on People.com?
I guess I should expect more of this with Smash about to start. But, still. Worlds [that being Broadway.com and People.com,...

Just thought I’d show some love for the 35MM Kickstarter Campaign to produce an NYC production (with cast album!) of Ryan Scott Oliver and Matt Murphy’s 35MM.
Go to the link to see YouTube clips of some of the shows.
Worthy cause and all that.

Let's Talk Grosses (12/25)
Welcome back for our second installment of “Let’s Talk Grosses,” discussing the highly exciting world of Broadway theatre grosses for the week of 12/18-12/25. As I mentioned previously, I will be using the lovely Playbill Vault’s Sortable Grosses Table Thingy to doing highly uninformed discussion of this span of statistics.
It’s important to note that this was a...

Sutton Foster and Marc Kudisch Bang Unsinkable... →
My only connection to this show was an 8th grade production I saw in 8th grade. But I like both Sutton and Marc, esp. since the last time I saw them together was in TMM for my first Broadway show EVER.
So is this a good thing? I have no idea, but will keep my ears to the ground.
