great comet hasn't been getting that good reviews over here.

[green waver]

HighFlyingAdored, don't get me wrong, I'm not challenging your opinion. I'm simply horrified that a Broadway production of a play as beautiful and moving as Glass Menagerie could be so botched. I'd love to hear more from you about it.

[green waver]

Actually, it was AC126748 that gave it a D plus, So my question should be addressed to you. Sorry HFA.

Mike66 said: "I definitely enjoyed On Your Feet much more than Comet.

The attraction of Comet is totally lost on me -- it's all style over substance, and I didn't even care for the style.  Other than getting a $200 plastic egg, it was a waste of a few hours. 

 

I don't know how anyone can say that show all style and no substance. For a very long time, all I knew of it was the cast recording and it was the substance of the show that drew me in. The brilliant staging is just an added bonus to an incredibly original and emotional show. I understand not liking it (because it's very out there), but to claim that it's devoid of any meaning or substance just doesn't make any sense to me.

 

[South Fl Marc]

-Aladdin B-

-Beautiful D

-Book of Mormon B (Broadway) A (Chicago) The reason for the difference - Ben Platt was so much better than Josh Gad (who I can't stand, he does the same thing over and over again)

-Cats F

-Chicago A-

-Come From Away A+ (I saw it in DC)

-Dear Evan Hansen B+ (I saw it in DC)

-Hamilton A-

-Kinky Boots A-

-Lion King F-

-Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet A (This is based on the Off Broadway version I saw several times in the couple places the tent was set up. I loved it in that intimate setting so much I have no desire to see it on Broadway where I can only afford further away)

-On Your Feet F-

-Phantom of the Opera B-

-School of Rock B

-Sunday in the Park with George A

-War Paint B+  (Chicago)

-Wicked B

Copied my list from IBDB...I had no idea it would link all of the titles! 

[muscle23ftl]

I love to see the different opinions...matineeidol and after eight may disagree with critics a lot or with crowd favorites which is refreshing and great!
