Current Rent Tour  Mar 18 2018, 07:29:10 PM

I saw the tour a few weeks ago and was impressed by the cast. It was my first time seeing a live production of Rent, so I didn't have super high expectations going in. 

Most of the cast is very young, some still attending or fresh out of college. What they lacked in experience was made up with an abundance of energy and heart. Lyndie Moe and Jasmine Easler were incredible as Maureen and Joanne. Aaron Alcarez was also a very strong Angel. I was disappointed to see an understudy


HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements  Jan 4 2018, 03:57:48 PM

Is there any word on who will replace Michael on the tour? 



HAMILTON Principal Cast Replacements  Dec 14 2017, 04:44:00 PM

This is really exciting news! Shoba was fantastic in The Great Comet and Kyle was hilarious in The Color Purple. He will make a great Lafayette. 

I didn't get to see Nik Walker on Broadway, but I've heard nothing but great things about his performance. 



Jason Mraz to Make Broadway Debut in WAITRESS  Nov 5 2017, 06:34:21 PM

Did y'all see that Waitress is being taped live this Tuesday? Hopefully the taping is released like Rent's final performance. 

Edit: Nevermind, it's not the actual show. It says the taping is an hour and fifteen minutes long. 



Color Purple tour cast?  Nov 4 2017, 07:50:34 PM

So, I saw The Color Purple Tour awhile ago, so here are my thoughts:

Even though the tour just started, the show is in great shape. I first saw TPC on Broadway last years with Cynthia Erivo, Heather Headley, Danielle Brooks, Isaiah Johnson, and Joaquina Kalukango.

Adrianna Hicks gave a very solid performance as Celie. Her acting wasn’t quite as strong as Cynthia (especially in Act 1), but her voice makes up for it. She has a very powerful voice and sang the role similarly

How were you introduced to broadway?  Oct 25 2017, 11:43:37 PM

For me it was stumbling upon a video of Willemijn Verkaik performing Defying Gravity. I've basically been obsessed with musical theater since. 



Thoughts on the current Hamilton BROADWAY cast  Oct 17 2017, 08:41:33 PM

I saw Hamilton for the first time this summer so I'll throw in my two cents:

Donald Webber Jr was a wonderful Hamilton. He has a beautiful voice and the rapping sections were on point. He plays Hamilton with a young, energetic cockiness that I really enjoyed. 

Lexi was Eliza, and I'm honestly still conflicted about her performance. Some songs were very strong (Helpless, Stay Alive Reprise, WLWDWTYS) but other songs completely lacked an emotional punch (Burn, That Wo

I'm looking to be Evan Hansen for Halloween this year, and I already have the pants and can make the cast. However, I can't find a decent replica of Evan's blue and black striped polo shirt. Does anyone have any idea where I could buy one or something similar? I've scoured the internet and haven't found anything suitable yet. 



Color Purple tour cast?  Sep 22 2017, 02:11:42 PM

I saw the rehearsal clip and really enjoyed Adrianna's voice. However, I felt that some of her riffs at the end didn't flow with the song and she seemed to be riffing for the sake of riffing. I'm seeing the tour next month and look forward to seeing how this cast is as a whole. 

I'm especially looking forward to seeing Carrie's Sofia since I saw her on Broadway as a Church Lady. I've heard she plays the character very different from Danielle Brooks. 

Hamilton bway vs Hamilton tour- which to see?  Sep 17 2017, 02:54:03 AM

I wouldn't see any companybut the current tour. Outside of the Lafayette (who is STELLAR and very different but on par with Daveed I dare say) and a few other standout performances, thecurrent Chicago cast is really suffering since Olivo's departure. Montego is painfully miscast. The current Br

Opinions on Jennie Harney (Nettie-Color Purple Hamilton Eliza)  Sep 2 2017, 05:51:04 PM

Congratulations to Jennie! I saw her as Peggy/Maria in NYC a couple weeks ago and she was absolutely SPECTACULAR. She sang "Say No To This" in a way I've never heard before and I was blown away by her voice. 



What Are Five Broadway Songs Guaranteed to Make You Cry?  Sep 1 2017, 03:42:23 PM

I don't usually cry when listening to Broadway songs, but these are a few that will definitely put me in my feelings:

-Stay Alive (Reprise): "Mom, I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me"; "I taught you piano". Those lyrics send chills down my spine every time I hear them. On top of that, Eliza screaming at the end destroys me.

-Sonya Alone: It's just such a beautiful, haunting song. I saw TGC with Ingrid a

Absolutely! I can only speak on Michael Lee Brown's performance as Evan, but he blew me away a couple weeks ago. 



Color Purple tour cast?  Aug 27 2017, 07:04:49 PM

I love that cast if it's true! I never saw Adrianna Hicks as Celie but I've heard good things about her performance. 



THE COLOR PURPLE Previews  Aug 25 2017, 01:42:22 PM

This is a random thread to bump, but does anyone have an idea of when the Tour cast will be released? Tickets for the Tour are on sale in my city but I'm hesitant to buy a ticket without knowing the cast.

I saw the show in NYC last summer and I know it will be a great show regardless, but I would love to know who will be in it!



THE GREAT COMET Announces September Broadway Closing; Final Performers for Role of 'Pierre'  Aug 9 2017, 10:57:29 AM

Caye2 said: "Was anyone at the performance last night?  I'm curious to know what the atmosphere was like at the show.  Most of the audience probably hadn't heard about the closing notice yet (what time was this announced exactly?), but per reports, the cast was notified right before the show?  And I'm sure the audience had heard about all the drama surrounding the show these past few weeks.

No luck yet for Wednesday evening yet. Not gonna give up yet!



Dear Evan Hansen - Cancellation Line/Lottery  Aug 3 2017, 11:42:33 AM

Hi all! I'm going to be in NYC next week and am looking to get a DEH ticket for next Wednesday evening using the four day method. So, should I stay glued to Telecharge on Saturday and hope that tickets appear? Thanks for your help!
