Paramour- terrible book, terrible score, pointless acrobatics including a neverending finale, and the worst rhyme I've ever heard in a Broadway musical:
"We're in a tangle/It's a love triangle/Cause three is one too many"
I was there yesterday in rear orchestra (for quick bathroom access lol). Seats were very comfortable and the movie is great- 3.5 hours sailed by, I didn't get up once.
The basement of the theater is decorated very cool with old style newspaper machines that offer "The Irishman Daily," which has information about Jimmy Hoffa and historical events in the film. They're also giving away a very cool poster, and there are four phone booths that say De Niro, Pacino, Pesci an
I'd love to see how a writer of color would've handled this story. He or she almost definitely wouldn't have ended it by having a white person appropriate Eric Garner's final words.

I just hope this isn't another one of Mamet's 65 minute plays."
It's performed with an intermission, so I doubt it

How does Cox look in the role? Part of the appeal of Cranston's performance was that he lookedand sounded so much like LBJ, especially with the lifts/prosthetics/wig. Brian Cox is 5'9, stocky, and73 (and easily passes for 80 on Succession),playing someone who was 6'4 and 57-

I got Broadway Week 2-for-1 tickets for 9/7- there was plenty available.
I loved the moment in Lifespan of a Fact when Cannavale says "He's in my house!" and the projection drops to show Radcliffe sleeping on a couch in the living room
JBroadway said: "I'm very curious to see if Betrayal ends up recouping. The numbers aren't bad at all, and I would bet they are making more than their weekly nut. But it's unclear whether the margin is enough to recoup with such a short run.
On the surface, it seems like a fairly cheap play to run, butI imagine all 3 of the leads are pulling in a hefty salary,plus lodging, etc. Especially Hiddleston."
JBroadway said: "Literally everything he has written after Next to Normal has been unbelievably bland (some would argue that even Next to Normal is too, though I like it). Not only is his music bland, it is actually so bland, that I can recognize when a song is written by him without any context, simply because nobody can write music as bland as he can. I’m not exaggerating! When he wrote the added song for Grease Live, I had no idea it was him beforehand, but when I heard the

Back in June I saw Kimberly Marable as Persephone thought she was fantastic. Amber is obviously a hard act to follow, but Kim had a great singing voice and energy for days.
