Posted: 2/12/15 at 6:47pmVery curious about the physical production. I so loved the original Robin Wagner sets. Hope this production comes even close.

Yes, please report back!
I'm very curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
I so hope it's a good production.

Posted: 2/12/15 at 7:40pmTickets were purchased months ago. After this show, we are in for the weekend . No show is worth freezing your butt off for. If others think differently, go for it.

Taz, I had tickets for the original first preview last night, but when that was canceled the earliest I could go was this coming Tuesday.
The score and OBCR both rank very high on my list. I hope they do it justice!

The score is absolutely underrated. Why aren't these songs being sung all the time in cabaret acts?
I have an audio after Judy Kaye took over and she cracks me up during "My cigarette is SAVED, my cigarette is SAVED." That song is a comic tour de force. You just know Chenoweth is ready to knock it out of the park.

Posted: 2/13/15 at 11:27amPlanning on seeing this during the summer and am looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. I'm new to the score and have never seen a production and would love to see this. It's been long in the works, this revival, and I hope the wait's been worth it! :)

"Why aren't these songs being sung all the time in cabaret acts?"
Garland's three big solos- "Veronique," "Never," and, "Babbette" are almost never seen, which is shocking. THREE classic comedic solos for women! Granted, they're not written in a style that many younger musical theatre performers are interested in singing. Or able to perform, honestly, since they require much more than technical profiency and fierceness.

I can see it now after a new cast recording comes out... "Kristin Chenoweth sings this song. Who's Madeline Kahn?"

Posted: 2/13/15 at 12:31pmIs Roundabout not selling HipTix for On The Twentieth Century? I keep getting promotional emails about it, and just received one today about previews beginning, but no link to buy tickets, etc.

Posted: 2/13/15 at 12:37pmI was able to try HipTix for it and it seemed to work; I didn't actually purchase them... I just got to checkout to see how it worked since I never used it before. lol.

Posted: 2/13/15 at 12:42pmGood to know, thanks jacobsnchz14! I didn't even try going to the site because they usually advertise it so clearly in their emails, but that was obviously the logical thing to do.

Posted: 2/13/15 at 2:58pmI am very curious to hear about the set design for this. I remember hearing in an interview that this is the biggest set to ever grace the stage at the American Airlines.
