@kevinddaly West End is still a fraction of the price for most shows, and the original productions are more interesting. You now pay hundreds of dollars for watered down, overproduced garbage on Broadway.

In 2013, I paid £25 (in advance; online) to see the West End transfer of Merrily from the seventh row. The price for a similar seat at the Hudson? $409.

@joeyzucc Well, can you tell me how you did it because wireless syncing stopped working for me one phone and one laptop ago.

@Agares29 @DudespostingWs Medical doctors don’t study homeopathy or naturopathy. There are people who specialize in that.

@traceymoz @mrcarl_woodward I just saw three West End musicals last week. Sat within the first five rows of orchestra seating for all of them. Tickets purchased through the box office without discount codes. None cost more than $50 US. West End prices are a dream for American theatre goers.

David Hare has blamed musicals for strangling the cultural life out of the west end like ‘a leylandii hedge’

@PikeBot @TheAdamSass It’s an advance on royalties, not an advance on you completing the book.

@TheAdamSass Calling something an 'advance' when it doesn't pay out until six months after publication really is taking the piss.

Since my book has been out 6 months, that also means the last 1/4 of my advance gets released. So I want to remind everyone that the industrywide practice of quarter payments is immoral, exists solely for capitalist reasons, and is a huge entry barrier for marginalized writers.

@itsdlevy @vstodder Of course. I mean I’d love to see Bernadette Peters in a brand new musical. But reality tells me that if it started development now, it would probably take her to the end of her career. And I don’t have faith that the hottest contemporary writers are writing for her skillset.

I wish we could collectively retrain our brains so that when we see a thrilling stage performance, instead of jumping to “Revive X for Y!” we thought about great contemporary writers creating original works for our favorite performers.

@itsdlevy @vstodder It’s easier to have faith in revivals we love, though. We know that what we’ll be getting is good material. With new shows, most fizzle before they even get a production, we wait a decade for the ones that do get a production, and most often they’re mediocre to abysmal.

@vstodder You can be excited about pairing writers you love and performers you love. You can be excited about expanding the canon. And none of that precludes you from also being excited about old favorites. We have room for lots of excitement and lots of things to be excited about.

@jenngames @bbalston I’ve got it! The author sent me a free copy of the first one, and I purchased the second when it was released. I have one student who loves them.

@MusicalMash I think you have to live under a rock to not know that an ALW show even the better ones are always after your cash before anything else (Just hope this company for their sake fares better under him than the West End cast)

@krissysbooked @kavanpstafford @SalmanRushdie spreadsheets. It just seems unlikely that giving bald characters hair (whether the characters are Dahl’s or some first-time author’s) will impact sales in any way that offsets the costs associated with making these edits.
