BWW Review: Paramount Presents LOVE NEVER DIES - Oh, Please Let It  May 9 2018, 04:20:20 PM

I thought the Rape like was very unfortunate as it is mentioned in a song that it was quite consensual, unlikely IMHO but consensual.

Jakeevan942 said: "Wicked is only booked into theaters that can accommodate it's full physical production package, Time Dragon Clock included. That's part of the reason why it is down to one company-there are only so many theaters that can fit a Wicked-sized show, and nearly all of them have hosted the tour at least twice. (This is the tour's fourth engagement in Indianapolis. I am looking at a listing of all Wicked tour stops in calendar years 2017 and 2018, and there is

Wicked Dragon Clock  May 2 2018, 01:03:36 PM

It would have been there, doubtful they would cut it, it is smaller on tour but is still there, by any chance were you sitting under a balcony that might have been blocking the view?

Anastasia partial view seats  Apr 24 2018, 09:03:48 AM

They might be kinda sideways, there is alot of lighting equipment down front and if the angle is too sharp you wont be able to see the effect of the projections to their fullest.

But that being said I do like partial view seats esp if they are discounted

There are some really very beautiful songs and memorable melodies in LND but is surrounded by gibberish and nonflowing transitions. There are many times I couldn't understand what was being sung, which then made it hard to get any details to the all ready thin plot. This is not to say the cast is at fault for they are ext

Did Courtney Reed have a cold when recording the Aladdin OBCR?  Apr 18 2018, 01:09:50 PM

Just saw the london version and the vocals up there were dreadful, particularly Jasmine, she and Aladdin could not harmonize at all and ruined "whole new world" for me. they were shockingly bad to be honest.



Love Never Dies Broadway 2019??  Apr 18 2018, 01:07:05 PM

it would fit nice in the Winter Garden though, with its wide set they can put back in the side towers that were cut for the tour and extend it out into the house a bit more. But I dont want School of Rock to close to be honest.

casting, please no Ramin/Sierra (although I would prefer Sierra over Ramin. Side note, the current London U/S who was on over the easter weekend is a dead ringer vocally for Ramin. Id be more interested in some long running veterans from the Broadway version lik


Anybody going to see Ben Crawford in Phantom tonight?  Apr 17 2018, 10:36:30 AM

The website really needs to update their photo gallery also, they still have up James and since then we had Peter and Laird. the photos are also HUGE and take forever to load



Love Never Dies Broadway 2019??  Apr 17 2018, 10:32:29 AM

Yea, phantom at the Majestic isnt going anyplace anytime soon.

Part of me would prefer a proper sitdown version of LND not just another tour stop (as I miss the FOH elements that were cut to make it tour) but thats just me, Im sure they might save face if it comes in as a tour stop and the critics kill it and it just goes back out touring afterwards.

I dont want Anastasia to close either but it would be kind of cool to have that next door in the Broadhurst, lol



Lion King Tour Update?  Apr 16 2018, 08:48:37 AM

Tag said: "Lots of false info in this thread. As stated the national tours (all of them) NEVER had anything raise from the traps, but DID have the plants inflate from the deck and DID have the stage rake and unrake. Sit-down productions (like LA and Toronto in the early 2000s, DID have Pride Rock come out of the stage, amoung other things)."

Toronto was the first production to NOT have priderock come out of the stage, what they build went on to become the template fo


Lion King Tour Update?  Apr 12 2018, 11:01:17 AM

I remember when they premiered the toronto production they said that would be the template for the tours, with tracking pride rock and the 2 large tusks being flat objects and not 3D. Toronto did have the main traps for the Grasslands though, because they had to loose some substage dressing room space for those.

 

But from what I've seen on instagram, the show looks the same, just smaller. the only cut that I don't really understand (it was cut on the tour before as


Phantom seating question?  Mar 23 2018, 10:23:00 AM

Also, in centre orchestra, there is a row, either J or K (whienever one matches up with the cross isle) it is actually raised about half foot higher than the rows in front so the view is perfect



Listening to Cast Albums before seeing a Musical for the first time  Mar 21 2018, 03:31:00 PM

I'm on the fence, because If i do listen before hand, then I might find some songs that I really love and look forward to seeing done live, also it would have prevented me wasting money on some shows that I;ve seen that  quite frankly I hated the music and felt like I wasted money.

But on the other hand, sometimes I do like the surprise of experiencing something new (if it turns out to be positive).

I also try to limit myself to exposure to visuals from the show since s


Ben Crawford to take over from Peter Joback in Phantom  Mar 9 2018, 07:19:52 PM

i'm always excited for a new phantom, and am usually partial to baritone phantoms aswell. so hopefully he does well

If I believed in god, I would be praying that they don't mine anyone from the tour.

Please, please, no young pretty boys! Please get someone who looks old enough to be Christine's father, and more importantly, someone who can actually sing!

I would love Derek


Love Never Dies. Australian or West End?  Feb 21 2018, 11:34:33 AM

As much as I agree the staging of that number was kinda cool, I cant see that there was any dramatic tension because as an audience member, you know that she will sing the Phantom's song and thus pick him, its the title song, so you know she does it. That's one of the weak plot points for me because as an audience member, there is no suspense over who she will choose in the end.

But again, the revolve was cool, shame it was also still so minimal. I always find that Bob Crowley

Love Never Dies. Australian or West End?  Feb 20 2018, 09:46:11 AM

Just curious, was any reason ever given for the Beauty Underneath rewrite?

I love the lea din with POTO but I prefer the tune in the original more than the new one, so was just wondering why.
