I find the number to be so much funnier with Emma trying to do fosse in the least sexy outfit possible, as opposed to a crop top."

Emma only wore the kitty onesie in the closing performance of the show.  It was done as a joke because she would put it on at intermission and on 2 show days

I love Sondheim, but do not want a steady diet of him.  I loved The Prom on Broadway and saw it 9 times including closing night.  It was cute, cleaver, and happy.  Being at the Tony Awards that year, while Hadestown deserved best musical, there was electric in the air when The Prom was introduced and the roars of approval and applause were deafening when the final kiss came. So I was thrilled that it got made into a movie, but worried that it may be like most movie musicals for

Thank you for this.  I loved The Prom on Broadway and saw it 9 times and the closing performance.  I know the show is love it or hate it, but I am frankly tired of reading about people judging it before seeing it or James Cordon.  If you don’t like him, don’t watch it.  If you didn’t like the musical on Broadway, don’t watch the movie.  I frankly have hated most film adaptations of musicals I have loved on stage.  One rare exception is Chi

I would agree on "Chicago" it was the first that came to mind.  While the casting for "Annie" was great the movie overall was horrendous. The made for TV re-do actually worked and I actually think that cast actually better, but I saw the original about a month after it opened on Broadway and no-one will ever beat Dorothy Loudon's Miss Hannigan.

We were at the Tony's last year and other than smaller set pieces that were even smaller than the original production's (like Emmy's Bedroom in "The Prom" the rest of the sets were all LED.

I rarely comment, this "Gypsy" was just boring.  I was so excited to see it and left with a feeling of "eh."   Bernadette seemed lost in the role and I did see it early in the run and her voice was not good.  The only thing I truly loved about the show was the art work for the poster.   I still have it framed and on the wall in our media room.

The seat was A21in the Mezz.  I was in 23.  There is lighting cables that run right in front of the seat and most of the action is not in the trust but center stage.  I looked at the view from the seat at intermission and it was indeed blocked. Obviously she was right in that the house manager quickly agreed to put her in another seat. 
 

Don’t do a partial view.  The person next to me last night had one.  I felt so sorry for her.  She didn’t see anything center stage or stage right.  She complained at intermission and got the seat switched.  Pay for a great seat.  It is well worth it.

Marriott is actually being sued over resort fees.  I am the highest level of Marriott customer Platinum for Life, Ambassador, and when I check in I remind them of the lawsuit and tell them I will not pay resort fees. It is a way to show a lower price but charge more.  I have complained numerous times.

On Twitter they are saying that tickets are going to start at $39!

That's about 38.00 too much, it should be retitled, "Be More Lightning Thief."

I revisited The Prom today and boy what an afternoon the show ran I think almost 8 minutes long due to applause.

I arrived early to a VERY long line of folks in show shirts and a group of ladies all wearing Apples & Bees custom shirts which were clever, not posting the link but if you look around it is online for purchase.

Things that happened that were memorable:

- before the curtain went up they started with some chant I missed what they said but heard the word “bull****” i think?? Can anyone confirm?
- Beth level i believe waved from b

Kad said: "Looking forward to reading these. I doubt Brantley will totally reverse his out-of-town rave, considering the show has not substantially changed aside from cutting a number."

I agree totally.  There was very little change from Boston, but I did miss the line about "Anatole and Pierre," which I thought was a cool tribute to "The Great Comet."

I saw The original cast of “Wicked” and in the scene where Feyero runs on stage on the raked yellow brick road to see Glinda, Norbert Leo Butz feet flew out from under him and he slid down the yellow brick road in front of Kristin Chenoweth. She lost it and was hiding her face behind the big wand and was shaking with laughter.  The audience roared for several minutes and she just couldn’t pull it together.  Finally she looks from behind the wand with Butz on the fl

I agree with everyone of your thoughts on this and it will be offensive to me to see James Corden be a stereotype.  That is what annoys me.  Brooks and Sean Hayes can get away with it because they are poking fun at themselves.  And I love how everyone who hated this show is mak

I loved  Oklahoma! Except that awful ballet at the start of the second act.   I would chose Constitution to see a second time.  

I saw the show several months ago and then again last night at Radio City and it reinforced how awful this show is.  I have seen drag queens in Birmingham, Al do better versions of Cher.  God awful performance and  show.
