Ugh will the Cort ever get the renovations that is DESPARATELY needs? That theatre is a dump.

Michelle Williams was in the “Fela!” tour a few years back when it came through the venue I worked at, and even with giving away tickets, the house was not even half full for the two show run. She’s not going to impact sales for this at all.

One question I have: were there any noticeable costume/coloringdifferences between Ambrose's and Benanti's Eliza? (Also, I assume Benanti's Eliza is a brunette?)"
The costumes were identical to the ones that Ambrose wore. Benanti's Eliza is brunette. I am still on cloud nine from seeing her performance tonight. This is one of
Laura Benanti to replace Lauren Ambrose in MY FAIR LADY Oct 23

I was in attendance tonight. I was a little concerned when I got there because I was given a Playbill with Lauren Ambrose still in and stuffed with slips, but nothing about Laura Benanti. However, Bartlett Sher came out before the show and gave a very nice speech that this was Laura Benanti’s first night in the show. They later had inserts available in the lobby at intermission and after the show.
I thought Laura Benanti was absolutely divine. Her performance was so polished and perfect
I recently caught this, and I found the play to extremely powerful and relevant. The conversations about race and law enforcement were gripping, intense, and packed with raw emotion. The four actors are all giving remarkable performances. I never felt like the subject matter was handled with a heavy hand, which was my concern going in. The play raises some great questions and was definitely eye-opening (for me at least). All in all, another great play to add to the list of great pla

As technically advanced as Kong is breakdowns can occur. It’s in previews, which for the many of you who don’t know, a time period to work out the bugs and fine tune a show. Which is why real professional reviewers are banned dur
I saw this last weekend and just realized I never shared my thoughts. I really loved this. This was my first introduction to the play, and I was swept away in the world of the play and the characters. Top notch acting, direction, and design. The three hour run time flies by. This is definitely one of the only 2 highlights of the season so far for me (the other highlight being The Boys in the Band).

While I agree that King Kong could slip in for a nomination for sound design, I can’t imagine a world in which the scenic and lighting designs will be nominated. The “set” was 90% REALLY bad projections, and the lighting was laughable at many points (the lasers on Skull Island...?)... what could have been a techni
ArtMan said: "I feel the same. If the puppet is the only redeeming factor, then you have to worry about your view and if (like it did last week) the puppet has a malfunction. Not worth it to me, if everything else is crap."
Agreed. While the puppet is impressive, I do not think it is as brilliant as most people on here think. And it definitely is not impressive enough to make up for the rest show which is garbage.
Same here.Those filters are faded out and say (0) for me. I’ve emailed them about it but like others, I doubt I’ll hear a response anytime soon. Super frustrating."
Why do so many of you people feel that e-mailing and calling them is going to speed up the process of ironing out the kinks? They KNOW there are issues and they are working to correct them. What sort of response are you ex
