THE PROM Previews  Oct 24 2018, 09:40:34 AM

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?



Bat out of Hell  Apr 26 2018, 02:59:38 PM

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.

As to this production, I got one of the talked ab

I saw it and didnt think it blows, I personally thought it sucked.. possibly the worst musical I have seen in 10 years.  2 friends out of 8 who saw it, had no idea what was happening because they never saw the movie..



MY FAIR LADY (2018) Previews  Mar 18 2018, 12:39:06 AM

Saw it tonight and thought it was the most disappointing part of the show. Frankly, I hated It. 



A Christmas Story goes LIVE...  Dec 17 2017, 10:16:12 PM

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

Bat Out of Hell  Nov 18 2017, 09:24:21 PM

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.

Wow, bunch of tools on this message board,,,,

THE OFFICIAL 2017 TONY AWARDS VIEWING THREAD  Jun 11 2017, 10:00:10 PM

Very much. It is one of the most boring shows I have sat through in years. 



re: Worst Revival Ever  May 14 2017, 08:58:26 PM

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.

Favorited filmed staged productions?  Apr 10 2017, 05:20:35 AM

NoName3 said: "A Chorus Line was filmed complete in performance by the Public with the original cast when the show was still downtown Off-Broadway before moving uptown to The Shubert. 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."

Here is a link to it.


WAR PAINT Reviews  Apr 6 2017, 09:29:28 PM

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. 



Right front mezzanine  Apr 4 2017, 07:16:38 AM

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. 



HELLO, DOLLY! Previews  Apr 4 2017, 07:05:47 AM

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.
