Wasn't Michael because I know Jason and Sonny taught him how to shoot better than that. Should be Scout because he's alienating her from her family and mentally abusing her. Will be Willow and she'll get off on temporary insanity and sent to Ferncliff.

I think Michael saw Willow go into Drew's place and watched.....he feels sorry for her so maybe he won't rat her out......second guess is Jacinda......she shows up right when this happens???

No redundant topics on the same subject or character multiple times in one week. Check over the Sub before starting a new thread.

There's already a thread discussing the who done it as well as the Drewpocalypse pinned thread which covers everything for Drew.

Should be: Portia. She’s been on the verge of losing her sanity for months.

Most likely: someone disappointing.

Most interesting if: Aunt Stella.

Most dumb: a non regular character like Jacinda.

Definitely wasn’t: Alexis. She’s already covering up too many crimes.

There are times of year that are more popular to plan to have a baby but the day-by-day variation is mostly doctors scheduling births on their own and their parents' schedule.

It's why Christmas is not a popular birthday and why 9/11 is a less common birthday than 9/12 or 9/10 for anyone in the US born after 2001.

Here's a cool gif where you can literally see the weekends of the year each year. You can also see people avoiding Christmas/News Years but then a sudden burst of births in early January.

It’s my birthday today lmao

speaking of birthdays, my 22nd b day is tmr

Well fuck

This seems like a good time to drop one of my favorite "get-to-know-you pass times." I ask people their date of birth, look up the Billboard Hot 100 from 9 months before that, and then tell them the song their parents fucked them into existence to.

For me, it's "My Sharona."

Theres only 3 3/4. Theres no reason for the others because they dont exist.

Depends what you want to get out of it. If you just want a handful of popular figures to make a shelf of GiJoe in a collection room then any of them would do the trick.

Vintage 80's: The collection of kings. This is the true answer, but in 2025 it's a tough recommendation due to prices and how fragile the stuff can be at times.

Modern: This is your value. The hype is gone and they haven't hit peak nostalgia yet. This is the stuff releasing from around 2000 to 2020. Killer deals and hidden gems abound in this era.

Current: Classified can be intimidating with almost 200 figures but that also means there are tons of very nice characters readily available. Sure you need to sell your children to afford the vehicles, but you didn't ask about price, lol.

12" scale: "Dad???"

7” you must be talking Super 7? Not a fan myself. Classified is 6” scale and knocking it outta the park. Hiya is making a GI Joe line but it has to be imported. I don’t like the any of the super 7 line but I believe they are doing 3 3/4” as well.

Don’t forget the Sgt Savage line of 4.5” figures because why not add another incompatible scale

I don’t really buy them (I’m a strictly a vintage o-ring collector, or was, I’ve been done for years)  but without question the most popular line atm and the one Habro dedicates resources to is Classified.

I love your rankings because they are honest and not just trying to fall in! I’m happy that you gave honest reviews of how YOU felt after seeing the shows!

I am fascinated by your ranking!

We disagree!

If you're still able to, I highly recommend you go see Hadestown and The Outsiders, they're phenomenal!

Just focusing on the long-runners (5 years or more):

Sure Bet: Wicked, Lion King, Chicago

Almost Certainly: Hamilton

Could Go Either Way: Book of Mormon

Seems to be entering the end of its life cycle: Hadestown, Aladdin

No Shot: Cursed Child, Moulin Rouge

My votes are Wicked, Lion King, and Chicago.

I think for Chicago, just for posterity, they’ll keep it running until it is the longest running show in Broadway history. It’s already the longest running American musical in Broadway history, but it hasn’t taken the crown from Phantom. Yet. Once the show has done that, I imagine they’ll keep it going as long as possible after that to try and build an unbearable legacy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I could see Hamilton and Book of Mormon losing steam or keeping open for another 10 years. I think those are toss ups, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them still running in 2035.

i think hadestown is also a candidate. definitely hamilton and lion king, probably wicked and chicago

Definitely wicked and lion king. I think Chicago as well, they are dirt cheap to run and in an undesirable theater.

I’d put Hamilton and BOM at a maybe. Both still sell well and BOM is really the “I need to take a man to Broadway” show. I could also see Six transferring to an off broadway location and having similar success to the play that goes wrong.

I really hope Hadestown has a long successful run, so that's my want for this list. I feel like Chicago, Lion King, Hamilton, and Wicked will run as long as Phantom, if not longer. The themes for the latter 3 continue to be topical and people will feel drawn to them over other shows because of that.

Freudian slip makes sense because I have a deep distain for Chicago on Broadway. Loved the movie though.

1. Les Mis
2. Phantom
3. Wicked
4. Lion King
5. Hamilton

Of all time?

Phantom of the opera Les Miserables Lion king Wicked Hamilton

Hamilton. Wicked. The Lion King? Les Mis. Maybe Chicago. Just a guess for both the musical lovers and casual watchers.

My two least favorite people (Ted Cruz and Donald Trump) love Les Mis, so I'm gonna go with Les Mis for #1.

On Mezzanine (theater Goodreads basically) the five most watched shows are:

1. Wicked
2. Six
3. Hamilton
4. Moulin Rouge 
5. Hadestown

However this of course skews towards shows that are currently playing (or else they couldn’t be logged) and are generally easier to find. For example, it doesn’t include shows like Les Mis, which literally brands itself on being “still the world’s most popular musical,” and I’d say is probably infinitely more popular than a show like Six. 

Another way to do this could be the five longest running shows:

1. Phantom of the Opera
2. Chicago
3. The Lion King
4. Wicked
5. Cats

But is Cats actually popular? Eh. Also popular with who? The average person? The avid theater-goer? The theater kid? The answer would change with each group. How do you really judge popularity? If I had to pick, the most popular shows, in no order, are:

Hamilton, Les Mis, Wicked, The Lion King, and Phantom of the Opera

All for being shows both well known outside of the theater scene, but also reasonably well regarded in it. 

Hoping for Boop but I know it’s not gonna happen

Hard to say.

Winning Best Musical typically gives a show the strongest long-term boost, especially for newer or less established productions. A Strange Loop and Kimberly Akimbo both saw modest but noticeable ticket bumps after their Best Musical wins, even though they weren’t blockbuster hits before. For a newer show, this win legitimizes it in the eyes of tourists and group bookers. So if/when Maybe Happy Ending wins, it should strengthen sales for a bit and maybe help it sustain when the original cast moves on.

But the most memorable performance on the telecast can steal the spotlight. If a show brings the house down during its Tony performance, even if it doesn't win big, it can generate the most immediate surge in ticket sales. Beetlejuice and Six are good examples. Beetlejuice didn’t win anything significant in 2019, but its high-energy number got people buzzing and drove up demand. Same with Six. Despite relatively few wins, its televised number sparked widespread interest. Who will benefit from that this year? Dead Outlaw and Death Becomes Her are my best guesses if they pick the right songs to perform, but hard to say.

Established hits don’t always gain much. A show that’s already a box office smash (Hamilton, The Book of Mormon, Hadestown) doesn’t need the Tonys for commercial validation. Remember Lin-Manuel Miranda in his Carpool Karaoke talking about how he wasn't worried about the Tony's like he was for In The Heights because, "Hamilton is fine. It's selling fine." The awards may cement its prestige, but the sales were strong beforehand. In those cases, the Tonys act more like a victory lap. We don't have that this year. MAYBE if Groff wins Best Actor that would be an example of a Tony win not having much of an impact. Hard to sell better than Just in Time is currently selling. But could you imagine if Jasmine Amy Rogers pulls off an upset? A win could extend the life of that show by 3-6 months.

Long way of saying Don't Know, We'll See.

But does the show need it? From everything I’ve read it has a pretty devoted fan base. And, of course, it’s a wonderful show

If Tom does "the walk" into Radio City, then Sunset Blvd!

Typically the Broadway season refers to new shows that opened during the eligibility period. E.g. shows for this season opened between May 2024 and April 2025

Nope, only shows that open during the "season" - so shows from last season like Hells Kitchen and The Outsiders are not considered a part of the new season, same goes for the longer running shows like Wicked or Hamilton.

Wicked is only part of the 2003-04 season.

Nope, a show is just part of the season it opens in. So when people say "the 2024-2025 season" they're usually referring to anything that opened after the last Tony cutoff date.

No. This is the list I found when checking to see what was in the 2024-2025 season. I found it to be a helpful refresher when I was reading the Tony noms and being like "Am I okay with this? Am I forgetting a show?" (LOL)

Wahoo

go CURVES!!!
