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
It was truly a special evening. I never expected I'd get to hear so many songs that have had an undeniable affect on my life performed in one night by their original singers. I was able to see Menken from my seat and it was just as wonderful to watch his tearful reactions to the performances as watch the performance themselves. My heart was bursting after last night's performance.
PatrickDC said: "Pete and Leslie Jones continually laugh in every sketch they are in, and frankly their attempts to stop laughing seem forced and contrived."
Agreed. Davidson, in my opinion, is a completely useless cast member: he comes off as lazy and unprepared in sketches, he can't seem to play anything other than himself and his appearances on "Update" have become stale and unfocused. Jones isn't able to get through a single sketch, no

Anyone else find Bennett's "I'm Still Here" a bit overblown? I didn't see the production, so I cant speak to the performance in context.
Groundhog Day was the first to come to mind for me, too; the number was not at all indicative of the actual show. "If I Had My Time Again" is not only one of the catchiest, upbeat numbers in the show, it also represents some of the themes in the show. To me, that would have been the obvious choice. But, a lot of Groundhog Day's public appearances were baffling, like the completely out-of-context "Philanthropy" on The Today Show.&nb
