Ever since Working closed after 25 performances on Broadway, the musical has refused to stay dormant. Something about the unusual nonfiction show has appealed to enough directors that hundreds of productions have been staged in regional, community and high school theaters…

crayonthoughts asked: I'm actually in a production of "Working" this February, and am really curious what you can find about it. (While I know this was a tremendous flop on Broadway, I think it has a lot ting a bit about it?of heart. Plus, to all those classics v. mainstream people, maybe this will educate them a tad bit more about the spectrum that is theatre.)

bitcaw asked: Just wanted to say several friends of mine [and of course, myself] fangirl/fanboy over the classics. I don't agree that it's easier to fangirl over shows like Spring Awakening. And what does that mean? "Easier to fangirl"? The only thing you have to do to fangirl is be a fan and show that you are. Is there a misunderstanding of what the word "fangirl/fanboy" means to...
I just wanted to say I think you’re doing a great job :)
When I get home from college and flick through the last few pages of Tumblr, your posts always make me smile.

Thank you so much! :)
becre8ive-deactivated20100326 asked: "True theater" is that which affects us when we see it. The music moves us to tears, a character touches our hearts, an actor makes us appreciate the medium, etc. It will be different for everyone. There is a debt of gratitude owed to the "classics," as they have kept Broadway a viable medium through the advent of movies and television. But the current pieces need to also...
worldstate-deactivated20110815 asked: I think a lot of people, especailly with all the great revivals happening/about to happen/that have just closed right now are appreciating and recognizing the "classics" that the rant mentioned more and more- several of them are on Broadway now. What it comes down to is this is the internet, and its way less fun to fangirl over My Fair Lady and A Little Night Music than it is, say, RENT...

It really means a lot to me. Thank you for letting me know how much you enjoy this blog, and thank you for actively nominating shows and actors for Broadway Musical/Actor of the Day.
I love you guys :)
narglesandmistletoe asked: If anonymously really wants to see "true" theatre, then he/she would suggest it like a normal person instead of bitch. And frankly, there is no such thing as "true" theatre. Theatre is a versatile media and encompasses SO much. Whatever that person considers "true" and "beneficial to us" is just musicals HE likes versus the musicals other people are...
snafubar-deactivated20111119-de asked: jeez, this tumblr only just started, there's plenty of time to get to classics. you're doing a great job. keep it up.
Anonymous asked: About that rant that someone just posted - I just want you to know that you're doing a fantastic job. Seeing some old shows would be great, yes, but in all reality it's obviously not what people want and you're doing an amazing job at doing what most people are asking for. I just wanna say I love you :D
Anonymous asked: I know you said only one a day... So I figured I would just do one message with a lil' bit of a rant.
I think you need to show people true theatre, like the old shows.
You have so many pop/rock/new things that people aren't seeing the true gems like Finian's Rainbow, Hello Dolly, Lil' Abner, My Fair Lady, How To Succeed, Peter Pan, Fifty Million Frenchmen,...
