Also, for folks who've seen it in the last few nights, what was the gist of Fedallah's monologue? I'm still trying to figure out if it's improvised and/or if it changes every night."
Last night, the monologue focused on him growing up Muslim (he jokingly mentioned that he owns a rug)&

Set for Spongebob Live? Nov 30

Is it going to be actually shown live, like Rent and Hairspray and JCS? Or did they just tape it live and they’re showing it, like American Son?
Nick Cartell Les Mis Matinee? Nov 26
2019, 09:18:06 PM
Hi all. Next week is Nick Cartells final week in the Les Mis tour. I saw him a couple of years ago and he was fabulous. Id like to see him one last time next week and I wonder if anyone knows if he performs in matinees. It is such a long and demanding show, I wondered if he does 2 show days. My only option is a matinee. Anyone know? I am sure the understudy is fantastic but I would love to see him one last time. Thanks!

I saw him on a Friday in October. He was tremendous. Chris Jackson was there as well, and Anthony Ramos was in the audience.

Thanks for staying on topic!
Sad to see this get panned. Agree with everyone about the inexplicable NYT vendetta. It's bizarre how gloves-off mean they are in reviews of his shows, while pulling punches for so many others."

Love in Hate Nation at Two River Nov 16

Did anyone see this yet? It just opened at Two River Theater, last night. Curious to hear peoples thoughts. I was surprised to not see any professional reviews. I am going in a couple of weeks because I tend to like Joe Iconis musicals, but I wonder if anyone has had a chance to see it. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Recent Experience with Come From Away Rush ?? Nov 4
2019, 08:16:52 PM
Last Wednesday I got to nyc at 1pm and got a rush ticket for the evening show. It was obstructed view but completely fine.
I saw the first preview as well. I had mixed feelings about it. To put it simply, I felt the cast was very strong, the orchestrations are beautiful, and the choreography is fresh and extremely well done. Unfortunately I think the book is a bit of a mess. The plot is driven by Trying to fit in the songs. Every time there is dialogue I found myself just looking forward to the next song because the plot is just so flimsy. And there’s a lot of dialogue. There are some very funny moments and

Its choppy plotshould be a one-act, andI'm a little amazed that it took 3 bookwriters to come up with the groan-worthy jokes. It hasthe absoluteworst direction and design I've seen all year."
worst direction? Really? I didn’t see that at all. I wasn’t a huge fan of the set design, but I tho

I sat in downstairsand looked up to see the sound/light board and there appears to not be one in the center of the mezz. Both boards are in the back, right,corners of the house on both levels.
Fun show. I think it could use a bit of trimming. Not quite sure how to describe Ms. Golden's performance. She does not appear to be directed to become badass throughout the show. It kind of happens but
from the pics I saw, looks like they sit elevated on the stage. Looks small. Going in a couple of weeks. The comments on social media make it seem like a great time.
Invited Dress Jul 8

For those who have attended an invited dress rehearsal, are they usually performed to a packed house, or somewhat empty? Who is invited to them? Ive never been to one, but was given the opportunity to attend one in the future so Im curious about what to expect. Thanks!
uncageg said: "I got tickets a week ago. Really looking forward to this one.
When looking at tickets it says that the back row of the mezz is partial view. Hope I am not up theregot my tix on TDF."
i was curious about partial view seating at a venue this small, so I called the venue. Sounds like there is a lighting or sound board table in the front of the mezzanine, almost in the center, which could block the view. Kind of a bummer.

Is it immature to ask late shows for a spot to perform? Jul 6
2019, 05:25:31 PM
Joe Iconis is a quirky, funny, humble man. He isn’t whining. He is being a human being. People on Twitter are always commenting on being disappointed by life. Why isn’t he allowed? If you don’t like it, don’t read it, but it’s hardly whiny or begging. It’s human. He was hoping his show would be a success and it wasn’t. Is he not allowed to feel bummed out by that? This board’s desire for his failure has become a ridiculous comedy, and it’s remarkably uncalled for. I liked BMC (I’m a middle aged
