There was no dancing? There was no tap? I’m shocked! Casey Nicholaw didn’t learn his lesson from tuck everlasting or even mean girls where adding a tap number during previews elevated the whole show?

THE PROM Previews  Oct 24 2018, 08:29:39 AM
There could have been an interesting play here about do-gooder types who get off more on their moral outrage than on actual solutions and more about fighting for a cause rather than caring about the real individuals affected by an issue. I’m sure these types exist on the right just as much as the ones I see on left in my FB feed- people who seemingly sit around all day, scouring every local news affiliate’s website, looking for a story to share that will surely rile up all their friends and the

There was no dancing at all. There’s one Fosse-themed number called “Zazz” and then most of the Mean Girls numbers are hip hop influenced.

The set is inconsequential. Cheap. There’s not much of it and you won’t notice it’s there. Most of the show takes place in a school gym, a sleezy motel and an Applebee’s.

Bwayfan292,

I don’t see this lasting very long. My guess would be a closing after the holidays? It’s so hard to guess nowadays though when crazy producers run flops like Amazing Grace, In Transit and Head Over Heels for months on end at a loss. Anything can happen, but I’d be surprised if it ran.

Unlike true teen shows like Legally Blone, Evan Hansen and Be More Chill that first and foremost appeal to teens, this is a pseudo teen show that first and foremost will appeal to gay

THE PROM Previews  Oct 23 2018, 11:34:00 PM

The Prom is a very special show, not because of its merits, but because it is such a rare songbird on display, The musical you can most compare it to in terms of tone is the Lucky Guy that played at The Little Shubert. In a way, all the things that make The Prom so bad are what make it so good. It’s so shocking that you will laugh because there’s no other human reaction to have when you witness something so ridiculous. 

Like Lucky Guy, The Prom is blessed with an hones

TORCH SONG (2018) Previews  Oct 10 2018, 07:45:58 AM

I was at the first preview last night and had a really great time. I loved Michael Urie’s performance so much; I don’t remember the last time someone had me belly-laughing like that in the theater, but it’s been a while. Not only his line readings, but his physical comedy was wildly hysterical. When he acts out what an “oops” is had me near tears. Arnold is the eptimore of “character you want to root for,” causing the three hour runtime to feel t

AMERICAN SON Previews  Oct 6 2018, 10:14:04 PM

I was at the first preview tonight and thought the four actors were already in great shape with their performances. The whole play takes place in a Miami police station waiting room and the set is appropriately ugly and depressing. Washington and Pasquale play parents of a recently turned 18 year old son who has been missing all evening (the play takes place at 4:00am) and they are desperate for any information from the cops about their son’s whereabouts.

Fan123,

There are no indigenous people living on Skull Island in this version. There are people dressed up in vines, but I thought they were supposed to acting as vegetation and not people covered in camouflage.

BroadwayBear,

Get Happy is not used.

Did your friend tell you the runtime?

KING KONG - Previews  Oct 6 2018, 09:49:41 AM

It really would have been amazing if Kong had been able to break across the stage and climb up the inside wall of theater- that would have certainly topped the over-the-audience flying fight scenes in Spider-man. As absolutely impressive as the puppet is, if there is one downside to him being so large and taking so many people to move him around, it’s that he isn’t very mobile and can’t move quickly. The fight between the python and Kong was almost happening in slow motion.

KING KONG - Previews  Oct 6 2018, 07:56:53 AM

Rosscoe(au), Some of it is off-stage/some on. I’ll go into some details, but LIGHT SPOILERS warning first:

 

Kong is brought out on stage in chains during the Broadway show within a show. He breaks the chain on his right arm and the curtain comes down instantly. Some chorus girls are trotted out to perform a number in one to “distract” us from the roaring and shooting going on behind the curtain. It’s very Phantom- let’s distract them with the


KING KONG - Previews  Oct 5 2018, 11:46:03 PM

Hasn’t this show been in development for like a decade? It seems like there have been countless productions, workshops and creative teams attached over the years, including the likes of Craig Lucas, Marsha Norman and Jason Robert Brown, and yet this is what they finally decide to serve up to us? 

King Kong is written like a jukebox musical, but instead of hanging a book on a pre-existing catalogue of songs, an entire show has been built out from a special effect. 



KING KONG - Previews  Oct 5 2018, 11:26:06 PM

Well, at least they have the puppet. 

And giving full credit where it’s due, the puppet is pretty awesome to watch and it does have an amazing entrance. It also gives the most expressive performance of the whole cast, which is both impressive and sad. But is one really amazing puppet enough to hang an entire two and half hour musical on? Duh, no! 

Where to even start with the rest. The score is junk. At least 2/3 (maybe more) of the music is just underscoring. Th


THE FERRYMAN Previews  Oct 2 2018, 10:54:16 PM
Yes, the hype is real. The Ferryman is one of the best fecking new plays to be on Broadway in years and was an absolutely THRILLING evening at the theater. Holy crap.

This is an all-star cast that will need special Tony categories for best actor/actress in Ferryman just so they don’t take away all the spots from the actors in other plays. Everyone gets a moment to shine and even the children have fully-formed characters to play.

THE WAVERLY GALLERY (2018) Previews  Sep 25 2018, 10:39:09 PM
I was there tonight and I have to fall in the mostly disappointed camp, but of the now three Cera/Lonergan productions we’ve recently seen, this one was probably the best text.

I agree with the comment that not much has been made of this being a memory play; I completely kept forgetting it was until Hedges would make another aside. After Tiffany’s brilliant Menagerie, the bar has been set high for memory play theatrics!

I hated the scene changes that just went on and on. I do
