| Ave q again. I think the first play is the subject of the terrific movie Pride, which had a golden globe nomination. The only other musical is on a clear day--reimagined. its not a very gay musical now, I wonder how they make it gay. Mothers and sons is a good addition. But buyer and cellar was at the curran last year with the terrific Michael Urie, so why are they doing it here. Overall, a rather disappointing season in my book. I Might not see anything this coming season. | |

| No mention of the fact that they're also doing The Nance? And yes, they're doing the revised version of On A Clear Day, in which Daisy Gamble became David Gamble, a man. Falling in love with a man. That's pretty gay. I think, other than the third production of Avenue Q, it's a very ambitious season. | |

| AQ again? Really? What, are they going to do this every season? Ok, I'm biased, since I saw it two seasons ago there and never understood all the hubbub about it. I was clearly in the minority given the raves here on ATC and elsewhere, and I suppose there is demand for them to do it again. I've never seen B&C so I'll be interested, especially since judging from the picture Kayta Smirnoff Skye (out of drag) is playing Alex. He has a strong resemblance to Urie and J. Conrad is a fun and engaging performer. Had a nice chat with him following the Help is on the Way comedy benefit last year. | |

| B&C will start J. Conrad Frank who of course is Kayta Smimoff Skye out of drag. He would be great in the role. "Avenue Q" is a big money maker for the NCTC. They had full houses for all of their performances in 2014. | |

| To produce ave q again and put on a one person show. I guess it will be close to two years between Urie and this production. | |

| Agreed. I wonder if McNally would need to do rewrites on Andre's Mother to match any details in his later Mothers and Sons. | |

| Of on a clear day in2012. It was a flop even with Harry connick jr. Isn't there a gay musical they could produce? | |

| The re-imagined book has quite a strong gay element to it and totally fits in the mission of NCTC (not that it was a great revival in the first place, but it's not completely unworthy of doing). I think it's a fairly bold season for them. And in the big picture, NO ONE saw Buyer & Cellar at the Curran - sadly, the night I saw it there were maybe 150 people there. It's one I'd sit through again--especially with a local performer whose work I enjoy... it'll be nice to see him play a 'straight' role. | |

| But as I pointed out above, it will be almost two years between productions by next summer, which is probably long enough. | |

| And of course NCTC is cheaper than SHN so there could be lots of folks who didn't see the tour due to price. | |
