🏙️ Born in the City

Lost in Del Valle (100222) at SoHo Playhouse — Ned Van Zandt’s solo play, back downtown for an encore after a sold-out spring run and the Edinburgh Fringe, previews 9/14, opens 9/23, closes 10/14. It is not on Playbill’s Off-Broadway schedule table; BroadwayWorld’s listings feed caught it, which is exactly why that feed is a primary source. Real NYTG key art, upscaled 480×720 → 800×1200. · Kid Frankenstein, The Musical (100224) at the Actors Temple Theatre, selected Sundays 10/4–10/25 — Vital Theatre’s family musical, confirmed on the producer’s own page. No vertical art exists anywhere, so it shipped with a coming-soon card. Both created D1-native, HTTP 201, _bitc.ignored empty, Yoast 7/7, live 200 on the first fetch.

8417 Safe House (Theatre Row) carried play_end_date 20260913 with no Closed tag — B.1’s PAST-NO-CLOSED-TAG lane, one row. BroadwayWorld’s production page confirms the final performance as 9/13 with no extension. Tag written D1-only (WP=SKIPPED(origin-down), the expected line), offer retirement ran with moved=0 because the show carried none. The closedStillOffering SQL post-condition returned 0 rows: nothing closed is still advertising a lottery.

8417 Safe House — title, OG title and Twitter title moved off the RUN template onto the CLOSED “A Look Back” template, following today’s tag. That is the stale-bucket drift the sweep exists for. · 100224 Kid Frankenstein — focuskw widened from Kid Frankenstein NYC to the full product name. Verified on the live page rather than on the tool’s output: /product/safe-house/ refetched no-cache returns the new <title> and a non-empty meta description.

Lost in Del Valle went out on Instagram, Facebook, a Reel to both, and one Pinterest pin. Kid Frankenstein was deferred on every channel by the pHash placeholder guard, because its poster is a BITC coming-soon card — designed behaviour, and it retries by itself the first run after real art appears. Stories staged 0 (disabled in config). Pinterest backlog: 16 catalog shows attempted, all 16 deferred as placeholders, 47 still queued and every one of them blocked on a poster.

Every published featured image was fetched and byte-tested — 0 missing, 0 broken. Fifteen placeholders were probed (all 9 RUN-bucket shows plus six Off-Broadway UPCOMING titles now in previews) and every source returned nothing, a ComingSoon-only asset, or a reject. Two worth noting: 8112 Basquiat’s NYTG asset now rejects as “itself a coming-soon placeholder by the shared pHash guard” — the 09-12 blind-spot fix holding, since that same file was graded accept two days ago. 8332 How Shakespeare Saved My Life rejects at round-trip loss 166, a photographic source that would upscale blurry. Count is flat at 60: Safe House moved RUN→CLOSED, Kid Frankenstein entered as a new UPCOMING placeholder.

B.4: all three operators answered the direct fetch — TodayTix, Lucky Seat (43 rows, 9 in New York) and Broadway Direct (8 NY lottery rows). ttMissingOffers 0, ttReviewOffers 0; no browser capture needed and no partial-coverage warning. One genuine discovery candidate, Break: A New Play, went to b4-candidates.json instead of to Brad. · Part T: 118 self-test checks 0 failed, 25 of 25 League rows matched, week ending 9/06 unchanged — the League had not posted the 9/13 week yet. · Part G Job 4: the flagship lottery guide served bitc-site-post with 34 product links and 0 of them Closed. · Cast: Ned Van Zandt written to Lost in Del Valle; 15 shows skipped as uncertain, including Pre-Existing Condition, whose lead genuinely rotates (Nyong’o, Falco, Nef) and would be wrong on the Starring row most nights.
