Saw the show on Sunday and came away with mixed feelings. Much of what others have said is good, really is, including all three Chers, costumes, production, but then there are some kind of clunky parts. The whole concept of it being a variety show just seems to slow down the action and then is somewhat abandoned in the second act. The three Chers all interact well with each other, so isn't that enough of a way to get the story told? Also, it feels like a who
I saw Karen Olivo in the part twice in Chicago and then saw Montego Glover two weeks ago, in Chicago, as well. If I had to compare them, I liked Olivo more in the part, but did not find Glover to be horrible or distracting. The major difference, in my opinion, was what someone mentioned previously about her presence. She did not seem to command attention in a group setting, which seems to be part of Angelica, but at the same time, her performance is not anything that would r
Thank you for posting this information. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a rough idea of the cost of tickets before they are on sale? I will be in NYC at this time and have no idea how the cost of something like this compares to a show Broadway.
I saw the show for the second time last night, after seeing it on 6.30.16. After that show, I really liked it and thought that it needed few changes. Seeing it last night, some small changes have been made for the better, but I still think that it is missing something. This time I was not as aware of the two men not having enough to do. The whole show has picked up the pace, which I suppose is natural, but it lacks some tension or stakes. The two women are
Saw Mary Page Marlowe last night. Overall, I thought it was good. Inventive idea to use different actors to portray the title character at different points in her life and not just to show age differences. Thought provoking in that she (you) can be different people to different circumstances within your life and that there are going to be proud moments as well as parts that will cause some shame, right or wrong. Really liked the whole random, not in chronological order
Same thing here. Put it on my calendar, tried shortly after 10:30 and nothing. Hopefully someone is getting through and able to purchase tickets, but it is not working for me.
Never underestimate the use of a simple no, thank you.
THE FIRST WIVES CLUB 2015 Chicago Pre-Broadway Thread Feb 25

Saw it last night and thought the first act dragged, but the second act was terrific. Noticed from the Playbill that there was a song cut from act two (song about a bar mitzvah). The first act was just slow and seemed to take so long to get the story out. The beginning with the fourth friend's death included some dream sequences and things that could just be dropped and you would still get what they were trying to say. All three of the leads were pretty great and sang well. Even though it w
Exorbitant ticket prices Feb 15
2015, 02:52:57 PM
I understand what you're saying about all the discounts resulting in a lower price anyway, but I don't think TKTS and other discounts are going away. So, if you begin with a lower face value, then you are going to lose money even faster and there is no guarantee that audiences will skyrocket. At the bottom line, a product costs a fixed amount to make and if the pricing does not support a profit on that price, it won't be around too long. And, I do think that the supply and demand argument is
Theater in Chicago Feb 15

I saw Marie Antoinette in the Steppenwolf upstairs theater and thought it was great. Told her story in a modern, upbeat sort of way. Almost like an E True Hollywood Story version of the French Revolution. An enjoyable evening.

I got seats at TKTS last Friday and they were third row of the mezzanine and just fine. I seem to recall that they were 40% off though. Hope that helps.
Josh Gad in BOM on Thursday Oct 28
2011, 04:50:09 PM
I saw BOM last night (10.27) and Josh Gad began the second act and then there was an announcement that there would be a replacement for him. The replacement was quite good and after the curtain call Andrew Rannells talked to the audience. He said Josh had injured himself shortly after the start of the second act. Nothing obvious happened, so I was just wondering if anyone new more about the situation.
WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN begins previews TONIGHT! Oct 25
2010, 11:48:14 AM
I was there Friday night as well and noticed the blood on Sherie's knee and shin, but was amazed that it was there before and after intermission and then disappeared sometime in the second act. Overall, I found the show to be entertaining in a number of ways and less than exciting in others. A mixed bag for sure, but I ended up happy to have seen and experienced it and would be interested in seeing it again, with changes.
