155. The Cup | The Theatrical Longevity Conundrum | Editorial

Welcome back to the 155th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 155th episode we contemplate the matter of long-running theatre shows (often, but not exclusively, musicals), in order to unpack the pros and cons of certain productions remaining on stage for decades – and sometimes overstaying their welcome. Join Ryan Borochovitz and Mackenzie Horner, as they discuss the complexities of supply and demand, job security, and creative stagnation.  Follow our panelists: Mackenzie Horner (Before the Downbeat: A Musical Podcast) – Instagram/Facebook: BeforetheDownbeat Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3aYbBeN Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sAbjAu Ryan Borochovitz – [Just send all that love to CoH instead; he won’t mind!] Follow Cup of Hemlock Theatre on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @cohtheatre If you’d like us to review your upcoming show in Toronto, please send press invites/inquiries to [email protected]
