The Vulture review sums up a lot of how I felt about the show, especially in regards to the final scenes and Tom Kettle (though I do think she insuiates too much as to count as a spoiler). I enjoyed a lot of aspects of the play, but, like Holdren says, some portions don’t hold up to scrutiny.
I rushed on Monday the 8th; arrived around 8:30am and was first line but the line quickly grew to about 20 or so by 9:15am. But the time the box office opened, I’d say there were maybe 40-50 people. We got rear mezzanine row EE, which is the second row of the rear mezz. Great view, but as mentioned the seats are tight and uncomfortable.

Boy, I wish I could share in the excitement over the film. There’s so much to like about the film; the direction (I loved the long takes, allowing scenes to breathe without excessive cuts), Cooper’s performance, the supporting cast (Clay, Elliot and Chappelle especially). Gaga gives a solid performance, truly sparkling during her musical numbers. The music is strong, stirring. However, the film’s screenplay betrays them all.
For all the talk about how this isn’t just another film where

Another vote for City Kitchen; big fan. The Mexican restaurant in there is very good and Dough has some excellent doughnuts. Also, last time I was there between a matinee and evening performance I saw a handful of actors from various shows, so that was fun.
This is Thai, but Room Service on 9th is also excellent; fast and relatively cheap.
She seems to be faulting the show more for what’s it’s not about (AIDS activism) than what it is (the day to day struggle of people affected by AIDS). There are some valid criticism laced throughout but I find it unfair to judge a show for not being about what one thinks it should be about or for something it’s not even trying to be. It&rsq

Wow! Amazing idea.

I’m wondering if the pool is actually on a lift and Albus and Scorpius get in the pool (essentially a large fish tank with an open top) under the stage and it rises into position under the trap.
Did anyone find this one to be a bit of a downer? The scenes in the modern time line were so weighted down by Donna’s death that the energetic and poppy musical numbers felt inappropriate; the juxtaposition of those two tones threw everything off for me. It wasn’t until the last act that the movie struck the right balance between the different tones.

The US national tour of Cameron Macintosh's production had an Eliza alternate for two shows a week: Lisa O'Hare full time, Dana DeLisa as the alternate. I believe that same London productio

RippedMan said: "But also, how to stage something that's basically ambles around the stage? There isn't much of a plot, and there isn't much need of "directing" in that sense. So, not sure how they could make this work."
I'm wondering if that might be partly why it was chosen. Superstar's open staging and minimal set on a thrust-style stage with a live audience gave it the freedom, life and energy al
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'm going to go with the Chamber Magic show because it seems like it's more of an experience; we can dress up, it's less "theatre" like (it'll seem like it's more a gift specifically her the less theatre-y it is). Though, I'm definitely going to check out In and Of Itself another time because it sounds excellent.
Thanks for the recommendations. They both sound like great options.
Good Magic Shows in NYC? May 7
2018, 12:56:07 PM
Might be a stretch here, but am wondering if anyone knows of any solid magic shows (for adults) currently running in NYC? I'm not a too big a fan of magic but my wife is and I wanted to take her for her birthday; more illusion-style magic more than mentalism. I am hoping someone on here has a good lead. Thanks in advance!

I find it incredibly disrespectful. For many, this is an important moment in their careers and it seems unfair of McPhee to taint this moment by butchering the pronunciation of their name. It's one thing to misspeak or stumble over a word, it's another to repeatedly mispronounce the same word or look flabbergasted when a lon
