by Zach Raffio. @zachraffio, NEW YORK, NY - Broadway ticket sales have hit historic lows in recent months, with many shows playing to half-full houses and earning less-than-breakeven average ticket prices. We went to our neighborhood printer Bill’s Sign Shop (#ShopLocal) to have a big chart made so that we could take a better look at the numbers, but then it hit us: we could just turn that chart upside down, and the numbers would actually be pretty good. You see, the chart -

Bluesky: @benschrager.bsky.social NEW YORK, NY - As a renowned critic, many people stop me on the streets and grab me by the lapel, crying out that the classic traditions of Broadway’s Golden Age are dead. While my tailor is grateful for the work, I am happy to inform these people that there’s still one show that lovingly embraces its rich history. I’m talking, of course, about Schmigadoon! which places itself firmly in the great the

NEW YORK, NY - It was revealed today that the theatre district will fly large white handkerchiefs covered in blood at half-mast, in order to honor Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! closing after seven years. “The show is dying, so we theatre people will portray that in the only way we know how: dramatically unveiling a stark white handkerchief stained with red,” noted producer Liliana Kelpo, signing construction permits for the Six honorary reflectin

We sat down with the spooky-ooky ghost from Broadway’s Paranormal Activity, and he (it?) kept relaying the same eerie, cryptic message: “Sir I’m an usher, I am at work and just need to do my job.” We’ve got goosebumps!
