REVIEW: Finding Neverland National Tour

photo by Jeremy Daniel I could not have been more excited when I learned that Finding Neverland would finally be launching a national tour. I saw the show twice on Broadway starring Matthew Morrison, Kelsey Grammar, and Laura Michelle Kelly, and I completely fell in love with the breathtaking yet underrated musical. At long last, the tour reached the National Theatre in Washington, DC, and I was so excited to score cheap tickets! I had some concerns about seeing Finding Neverland this time around. Despite the glowing reviews from my friends who had seen it earlier in the week, the Washington Post completely slammed the production. The Post's review mainly blamed the tour's shortcomings on being a non-equity tour. In summary, an actor who is non-equity has not yet worked their way into the Actor's Equity Association (the actor's union, in laymen's terms). Non-equity actors are not protected by the AEA regulations, and therefore are not obligated to be paid a ...

The Playbill Selling Community

I consider myself a chronic collector. By far, my most prized collection is that of my Broadway Playbills (to you laymen out there, a Playbill is the booklet the usher hands you when entering the theatre). Though some Playbills I saved date back to my middle school years, I have been seriously collecting them for the better part of a decade.

I saved these extras for years because I thought a time might come when I will need some extra money, and I knew there was a market out there for Broadway Playbills. Sure enough, my intuition was correct. Enter 2020. It started innocently enough. Last January I was living my best life at BroadwayCon in New York City, trading Playbills with other collectors and fanatics. I was in way over my head; some people were bringing in suitcases full of Playbills! Neverthele...

REVIEW: Mean Girls on Broadway

photo by Joan Marcus "I just won The Cher Show lottery," my mom whisper-shouted on the train en route to New York City, staring at her phone in shock. "Who wants the second ticket?" "I'll go with you," my dad said immediately from the row behind us. That left me on my own in the city to see whatever show I wanted. "If they're still available once we get there, I'm going to try and see Mean Girls ," I said. "This is the perfect time to go!" My mom and I had seen the pre-Broadway tryout run of Mean Girls at the National Theatre in Washington, DC back in 2017, and I have been wanting to see it on Broadway to identify changes between the two runs. Once we arrived in the city I successfully obtained my ticket in a matter of minutes at TKTS. About two hours later, I dropped my parents off at the Neil Simon Theatre and then practically sprinted across the street to the August Wilson Theatre to see the most fetch show on Broadwa...
