The final opening night of the season is April 26th. Critics start coming a week before opening, and ideally, you want to do a couple of performances of the frozen show before that happens so no show in previews has more than a couple of weeks left (at most) to fix itself.

I just made my 33rd visit to Raising Cane’s which means that was my Jesus Meal.

Bacall: You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? Bogart: Anyone can whistle That's what they say— Easy Anyone can whistle Any old day— Easy It's all so simple Relax, let go, let fly So someone tell me why Can’t I?

Groff’s final week grossed $2,066,446. Average ticket price was $362.22. Was the top ticket really $1,477? 😮

The Martin Beck Theatre opened in 1924 with Madame Pompadour and such songs as By the Light of the Moon and When the Cherry Blossoms Fall. Now, slightly over a century later, audiences are rejoicing to Wet Ass Pussy.

It’s brave to decorate your dressing room before you know if the show’s going to run.

I’m waiting for sing-along Pacific Overtures.

Has anyone else been imagining Flan and Ouisa in Sidney Poitier’s film version of Cats: The Jellicle Ball?

How come we always talk about Andrew Lippa’s Addams Family but never Michael John LaChiusa’s Addams Family?

Will we hear a choir sing? Will there be exploding fireworks or the roaring of crowds? Will it be a quiet thing?

There’s a craft beer place called The Brass Tap opening nearby, and I’m low-key furious that it doesn’t have an Ann Miller theme.

Between his Broadway run and his final tour, Richard Harris did a sixteen-city tour of Camelot where his billing was “Devised, Staged, and Directed by Richard Harris”.

If you want to get me to Bad Book Chess, hire Judy Kuhn as replacement Florence.

“It Might As Well Be Spring” is not a Spring song. The Iowa State Fair takes place in August. Also, “it might as well be.”

“Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me? Stars appear, Why doesn't the night invite me? Maybe it's because nobody loves me Spring is here I hear”

I’m using my Sondheim Foundation grant to produce a Broadway revival of Mame.

I throw off my sleep pattern for the Tonys but never for the Oscars.

I don’t think Liza would mind my using her 80th birthday to mention that her pal John Kander will be 99 on Wednesday.

“Liza, Liza, skies are grey But if you’ll smile on me All the clouds'll roll away…”

We need to discuss that Fred Astaire’s entrance in The Band Wagon 1953 is basically the same as Robert Preston’s entrance in The Music Man 1957.

@bcdreyer.social I believe we were discussing this? At least I think it was you. I’m old.
