#home broadway

Think you can't afford Broadway? Do I have an offer for you.

Broadway tickets to see Home as low as $5 (pay-what-you-can) with the code RETURNHOME. It is not selling well, despite positive reviews, and I need all of you to support live theatre, straight plays, and especially Black creatives and stories. If you can pay more than the minimum asking price, please do, even if it's only ten or fifteen dollars more. It's vital we keep the arts alive and well.

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Home

July 20, 2024 | Broadway | Todd Haimes Theatre | Matinee | Play | Revival | 1H 30M | Cast Talkback

Went back to see Home before it closed, and it really is such a well-crafted piece of theatre. The actors each take you on a tour-de-force with their varied and distinctive performances. There was also a brief talkback with the cast and director Kenny Leon made a surprise appearance. And that man likes to speak, I'll tell you that. Anyway, I wish this show had found a bigger audience, but I'm grateful that the $5 ticket initiative was able to attract a wide range of people who would otherwise not have been able to afford a Broadway play. The audience this closing weekend was attentive, engaged, and active listeners. This may be the first time I've been moved by audience members singing along.

Verdict: Why I Love the Theatre

A Note on Ratings

Wait in the Wings needs our help

Hey y'all, it's that time of the year again. For those who don't know, Wait in the Wings is a YouTube channel that focuses on preserving theater history through extraordinary documentaries. Think Defunctland, but for theater! Some of the shows he's covered include Seussical, Hadestown, Carrie: the Musical, Starlight Express, and many many more - his most recent being the Great Gatsby on Broadway.

But in order to fund these docs, he needs our support. He is currently running a kickstarter where for each stretch goal reached, a certain documentary will be made. These include:

Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark (a revamp of his very first documentary)

Chess the Musical

Heathers

Dance of the Vampires

Right now his kickstarter is sitting at just over $20.5k, with the ultimate goal being $45k. There are only 7 days left to give, and any amount helps. Plus, you may get some theater memorabilia alongside your backing! If you can't donate, please consider reblogging/sharing this with your communities, both on here and outside of tumblr. His channel isn't limited to theater nerds - it's made for anyone who is curious about learning something new. It's made a huge impact on me, and I hope it can make an even larger impact thanks to our support.

Thank you for reading, and please show some love to this amazing channel!

Edit: he's also doing a 24 hour livestream right now if you want to tune in! You can find it here!

Edit 2: 6 days left! He's now made it to $23.4k! He's in the last hour of his livestream, go support him!

Edit 3: $25.2k out of $45k! Keep it going!

If there’s ever a line/lyric in a musical about everything being alright, NEVER TRUST IT. THIS MUSICAL IS GONNA GET SAD

Reblog for a bigger sample size - for bonus points tag your favorite musical(s) that didn't win this decade but maybe should have!

Polls for other decades

---

A second attempt at this poll since in my first one I accidentally skipped Gentleman's Guide and made the duration 1 day when the others were 1 week. So for science we're trying this one again.

Also to clarify since I've gotten some shade about my choices on these polls: these polls are specifically about winners of the Tony Award for Best Original Musical broken down by decade, not some arbitrary shows I'm picking. Anyway, I have one for each decade so go vote in all of them! :)
