I remember that in the mid-70's it was scandalous when the tickets for Liza Minelli's The Act were $25. Now, I know that was about thirty years ago, but show and concert tickets have exceeded...

I wonder why they don't tape more Broadway shows (especially the hits) and market the DVDs. Seems to me there is a whole untapped market to cash in on. The percent of American's who have never seen a...

"I wonder why they don't tape more Broadway shows" Union issues. "Plus it would be nice if these performances were preserved forever for future generations." For years now, most ARE preserved - but...

The reason this show is closing is partly due to arrogance but partly due to the simple fact that it's a mediocre show. It didn't come close to receiving a Tony nomination, I think one reviewer put it...

Spamalot is a hoot; Brain, no personal attack here, but Phantom deserves a freakin' rest already.

$200 for 2 to see a play is a "stretch" - $400 is asinine - $900 is INSANE. Who cares if it closed? I sure don't!!

I'm not a Broadway afficionado, so I'll put this as a question. My impression was that the reviews of Young F were pretty negative even when it was in previews in Seattle (?). I always assumed that...

Are there any plans for the stage musical to be made into a motion picture? I'd at least like to see some version of this in the future. Cromwell

I would say the odds of it are zero. As for Phantom closing, well look out for what is going to be a trainwreck of a SEQUEL late next year. ALW will finally offer proof he's been devoid of talent...
