A gun appears in Moulin Rouge, but no shots are fired. (Add me to the group of people who get really uneasy when guns are onstage and jump out of my skin when there’s a shot.)

Yes, she sings Firework. In the context of the show I think it works. It doesn’t feel like a “how great she is” song so much as a “trying to build herself up” moment. And man she belts the crap out of it!

Intermission and it’s incredible so far. Without doubt the most visually stunning show I’ve ever seen.
I caught the matinee of this yesterday without any expectations. I rarely go into a show knowing nothing about it. The audience had lots of kids and teenagers, which is always nice to see. There's clearly a dedicated fanbase for this show, much like Be More Chill. Lines that I could only assume were references from the book were met with applause and cheers, and Chris McCarrell got a BIG response on his first entrance.
Just got out of the matinee and wow, that did not disappoint. This was my first exposure to the show, other than some of the songs which I've heard on SiriusXM. The entire cast was firing on all cylinders. It was disappointing, though, to see that only about 80% of the seats looked sold and probably another 5-10% left at intermission - come on Sacramento, do you only want to get stuff like On Your Feet and Dirty Dancing??
I hope the tour is selling better in

First row in the Sacramento theater is great - I’ve sat there many times.
I'll be there for the closing performance! The Music Circus has really been knocking them out of the park these last couple of seasons. I can't wait to see what Carmello does with the role.
He did the stage door when I saw the show in May, and I've heard the he's there pretty consistently. He and the rest of the cast were absolutely lovely to everyone there.
In the Great Comet book that includes the full libretto, Malloy writes, "Pierre is probably in his early 30s, but life expectancy was pretty grim in Russian back then (averaging from 28 to 32 years)."
I was there last night and Donna gave a phenomenal performance. We were all given the choice of a refund or seeing the show with an opportunity to come back at any performance before September 24th. Well, since I'm from California that doesn't help me much, but both ladies were absolutely spectacular.
I went in with my expectations lowered from some of the mixed reviews I've read, but I really enjoyed it. It's not big and flashy, but it was certainly a
Thank you so much for the heads up about the newly released seats! After a day of frustration when tickets first went on sale, I had resigned myself to missing this one. I just snagged a pair of balcony seats in July for $100 each. Partial view, but I'm just thrilled I'll be getting to go at all!
