Over the course of each month, we'll collect pictures and newsy tidbits from the "TheatreScene." We'll be scouring Twitter, Instagram and other social media for interesting items. And we'd love to share your love of theater, too! Send us your pics from your theater scene - local stuff, school shows, fan art, stage door encounters! Send them to: jkstheatrescene@yahoo.com (careful of the spelling!).
Around the TheatreScene
July/August 2024
Opened: Once Upon a Mattress
The season's first new musical rehearsed and opened this month at the Hudson Theatre! Micheal Urie posted some things from his "first day of school."
Closed: The Who's Tommy
It's the circle of life on Broadway. Shows open and close. This month saw the closing of The Who's Tommy. Sad as that is, a new show (Redwood) will soon take its place. And we suspect that this won't be the last we see of "Tommy," Ali Louis Bourzgui.
Coming Soon: Maybe Happy Ending
Rumors have been swirling since the first preview was postponed a month due to "supply chain issues" that this isn't happening. We choose to be optimistic. So does the Belasco Theatre.
Oh, Mary! Goes Glam and Has a Super Fan!
The hit of the season has had some glamour shots done. Has anything Lincoln-related ever had such luck in the boxes? Plus a certain Broadway Diva has become a big fan of Mary - she even did a commercial for the show!
Cole Escola (Mary) Conrad Ricamora (Mary's Husband)
James Scully (Mary's Teacher) Bianca Leigh (Mary's Chaperone)
Tony Macht (Mary's Husband's Assistant) Peter Smith (Wonderstudy)
📸: E. Madrid
Patti LuPone (Super Fan)
Fan of the Month
This fan of The Outsiders really wants to see it! More than 12 hours before the B.O. opens, she's in the rush line. Let's hope she got a seat! (We're having old-school Rent flashbacks...)
It's a Return!
One of our all-time favorites, Paulo Szot, is back at the Sondheim in & Juliet!
Broadway Flashbacks
One of our Twitter pals, Burnside Gooch, really took us back with this O.G. Chicago pic. Imagine seeing this as you walked into the 46th Street Theatre!

And here's Mike Faist from his Broadway debut days in Newsies, signing at the stage door with a smile! (Circa 2012 - pre Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, West Side Story and Challengers on film.)
Broadway Beefcake
We are glad to see that these guys are staying in shape between shows!
Our Story of the Month
Harmony and Funny Girl star Julie Benko took to X (fka Twitter) to make a big announcement for her and husband Jason Yeager! Congratulations, Julie and Jason!
Broadway really does care!
It was only a matter of time before Sasha Saynor made her Broadway debut and we were honored to be a part of it! Thanks to Make-A-Wish for making Sasha's dream a reality! 💙 pic.twitter.com/tMOuBSXfPL
