Maybe her daughter?
Jennifer Garner is WAY too old to play a teenager.

This.
Tootsie was fun. It was not memorable. It had some great performances and was funny in the moment. The thing that made Dustin Hoffman's performance so great is that we
I can't recall any bad experiences; however, my best experience came Saturday night after Network. There were at least 200 people who waited for nearly an hour and a half to see Bryan Cranston. It was all so organized, and Bryan's assistant took pictures of anyone who wanted them with Bryan. He was also losing his voice and on vocal rest for Sunday's performance, but he still carried on conversations with everyone (at a whisper). When it was our turn, I acknowledged that
Mike Barrett said: "I think Score is something thats pretty subjective, although a key factor in deciding whether you enjoy a musical or not. The above poster doesn't like the show because of the score. For the show being a musical, thats completely fair. However, some have liked the show and find the music serviceable with a really strong book. Ultimately the score will likely affect your overall experience, but it really is completely subjective. I do not find Kinky Boots score
This was a fun show, made mediocre by Yazbeck's score. I can't believe it's getting the praise it is. The Prom was a much better musical comedy in my opinion. I'm pulling for The Prom or HadesTown.
Let me start by saying that I am not typically a fan of Greek mythology. We actually only saw HadesTown because Shoshana and Jeremy were out of Waitress and we were able to get a refund. While the score throughout was amazing, I did not connect to the story or characters for quite some time, but once that glorious staging during "Wait For Me" started, I was hypnotized. That's the only way I can describe it. I literally felt like I was under a powerful musical theatre spell.
We just returned from NYC yesterday and saw 7 shows in 5 days.
You are going to love HadesTown. It is one of the most gorgeous productions I've seen. I second The Prom if you are looking for another musical. That and HadesTown were our two favorite musicals of the trip. We also saw Aladdin and Tootsie. Tootsie is very overrated in my opinion. The score is so forgettable and undermines the otherwise hilarious book. There's a lot of cliche in Tootsie. The movie is a favorite
I'm sorry, but Tootsie cannot win Best Musical. Yazbeck's score was pathetic and undermined the production for me. Tootsie was my partner's most anticipated of the seven shows we were seeing and it even fell toward the bottom for him. The book was funny, but I personally thought The Prom was funnier (and more original).
My predictions for the three locks for musical: The Prom or HadesTown will win Best Musical
The Ferryman was every bit as breathtaking and engaging as I thought it would be. Never have I been so enraptured by a play as I was last night at The Ferryman. Every single moment and every single line had a purpose leading up to that harrowing final moment. I'm still trying to collect myself from the experience I won't soon forget. An incredible script by Jez Butterworth and masterful direction by Sam Mendes. I'm so glad I was able to see BDJ in this production, but the entire c
I was able to get a refund last week when I found out Shoshana would be out Tuesday. I don't know if her name is above the title, but I advised the kind lady at the Brooks Atkinson that I've already seen the show and was only going back for Shoshana. I was able to get a refund, so now we're seeing HadesTown. The pot was sweetened when I was able to get the premium HadesTown tickets for $72 each through audience rewards.
DiscoCrows said: ""Correct. My other half has been wanting to see Aladdin for several years and did not want to see Ferryman. We agreed that if we did Aladdin, we would also do the Ferryman. I REALLY wanted to see The Ferryman, so will gladly see Aladdin if that's what it takes."
Fair enough!
If you have the extra space I'd recommend either Beetlejuice or Hadestown."
We added HadesTown and were able to get amazing seat
For anyone interested, the audience rewards selections for HadesTown are fantastic. We were planning to see the Wednesday matinee of Waitress, but Shoshana is out and we were able to get a refund. So we are going to see HadesTown. However, I didn't want to drop $250 per ticket, so I went to audience rewards. We were able to get two orchestra tickets for $72.50 each. The seats are in N5 and N7, which I hear is a pretty fantastic view. So stoked to see this!

I saw Eddie and I thought he was amazing. Absolutely perfect (understandably so). There's something really special about seeing someone who originated the role in a movie playing the role on Broadway as well (kind of like Jafar in the movie and how he originated the role on Broadway? Correct me if I'm wrong, I just thought I read that somewhere)."
