I watched the show on my DVR last night and it was awesome and hilarious. I loved the sets and costumes the most! The music mostly stood out and so did the dancing. My favorite parts were Bikini Bottom Day and Squidwird dancing

The trailer is awesome! A lot of footage to process for me. Takes me being 17 when I saw the show on its national tour. And I’ve been wanting this movie ever since! I’ll be 27 in February

I love Tari too and I didn’t expect her and Vlad to make me laugh hysterically together.

So I saw Anastasia at Segerstrom Center yesterday in Costa Mesa! Its beautifully staged, empowering, nostalgic and musically spectacular. Lila Coogan and Jake Levy make excellent Anya and Dimitri. The choreography is so much fun. The train sadly didnt move why they stopped in the middle of Act One for a few minutes. Didnt mess up things though

But the West End production broadcast last night was simply impossible to dislike! Yeah, there's a lot more character development even in the corny Busby Berkeley movie, but the show at the Drury Lane is beautifully sung and danced!"
I like both movie and stage versions equally. But I prefer the stage versio

I watched the show too! It was amazing. I’ve seen one regional production in 2012 and the non equity tour in 2015. So this was my 3rd time with 42nd Street!

Until I read your post, I didn't know that "Kinky Boots" was on the docket. After some Googling, I see that it is on schedule here for November 29. Not having seen either the movie or stage versions, I have just a very basic understanding of the plot, So, I'm looking forward to a new entertainment adventure!

I’m really anxious to see how it all goes well. I was looking forward to what Alan Menken David Zippel and Harvey Fierstein’s work. But I can do with the Kirkpatrick Brothers since I’m semi obsessed with their music from Smallfoot.
