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.
I loved all three shows that closed today, but ironically I was at the final performance of a much shorter Broadway run: Criss Angel's weeklong Broadway residency. I was expecting cheesy Vegas-style theatrics, but was pleasantly surprised by the cool effects and genuinely mind-blowing tricks on display. Multiple times I thought "How did he do that?" Angel also grew up on Long Island, and genuinely realized what a big deal it was that he was on Broadway, which I don't think w
This show really surpassed my expectations, sad to see it go.
One casting note: Michael Potts is leaving Friday to film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom for Netflix. Michael Genet (most recently Chuck Cooper's understudy in Choir Boy) will play Mr. Hawkins for the remainder of the run.

I think the show's biggest issue is the lowering of stakes. In the f
