We have tickets in March, but I will be there next Thursday the 1st. I am concerned it may not make it till March, so I guess I should see it next week?
I saw it in Toronto in December. I loved the music as I always have and the set and singing is amazing. The show and the awful choreography left me bored and I personally have no desire to ever see it again.

If someone cannot follow the simplistic, straightforward plot of Frozen, they should probably take a trip to Oz to see the Wizard about a brain.

I have hated each of these “live” musicals, except “Hairspray” which kept to the original script. Why do you advertise a musical that in no way resembles what was on Broadway. “A Christmas Story” on Broadway was charming, quaint, and focused on the kids. This show was all over the place. And the addition of the Schwartz Family number added nothing. This is why most of my friends hate musicals.. bad community theater, high school productions, and now t
Saw it in Toronto this afternoon. Skimpy Story, act two needs to have two songs cut, great singers, cheesy choreography, amazing set design and lighting...when it works (show was stopped for ten minutes due to technical issues). It was entertaining, but wouldn’t see it again and I love see shows a second, third and fourth time or more. Can’t see it will make it to Broadway.

Its too bad her now stale talent is overshadowed by her ugly and disgusting ego.
I will agree Ragtime revival was awful. It was a show I wanted to see so badly. It was a snooze fest. Having seen the original Chicago with Verden and Rivera, the revival is a huge improvement on the original. Bernadette in Gypsy, one of the worst nights in a Broadway theater ever.

It's in grainy black-and-white but it's electric and dazzling. Years ago I was able to rent it several times from the video section of the late lamented J&R Music World on Park Place! There are usually a few songs from the filming available on youtube."
I have to say I saw seven new musicals over the past 14 days and War Paint was by far the weakest. It lacked any type of imagination, memorable songs, and LuPone sounded like Eliza Doolittle with a mouthful of marbles. It was three hours of my life I will never get back.
I have seen it twice from the Banquettes. One in the middle and this past Friday in the very last one. Both were great, but loved the last banquette. Great sight lines on stage and into the audience.
I was there Saturday night. It was not a circus. There was a boisterous crowd at appropriate times showing the love to this show and the stars that they richly deserve. All 8 in our party smiled and grinned from the overture to the final curtain call. It is an amazing production and worth every penny we spent on it. I bought tickets the day they went on sale, but would pay more to see it again. It is musical theater at its best. It will win numerous rewards.
