SNL sequel to Lobster Diner  Mar 3 2019, 03:30:31 AM

They did a pretty funny skit last night based in a bodega bathroom that was the spiritual successor to the Les Mis spoof from last year. Good stuff.

Jagged Little Pill is coming to Broadway this Fall  Jan 31 2019, 12:58:23 PM
I really hope this does well because I love the source material so much. Jagged Little Pill is a powerhouse album that, despite its detractors, will never age. Every song is a masterpiece.. if they can tighten up what little wasn't great about the Boston run then this could be something really special.

Favourite scene transitions?  Jan 20 2019, 09:06:05 PM

Dave28282 said: "I love the scene transition in the original set of Miss Saigon where KIm's bedroom (the smaller stage on the actual stage) slides away to make place for the Nightmare scene, a scene which has multiple stunning transitions, but I love the part where that20 feet fence was dropped in a split second on the instrumental notes right before the "I still believe reprise". And then at the end of the scene the smaller stage is back, which is just brilliant. It ma

Original Production of LES MISERABLES in London Will Take Hiatus and Re-Open With New Staging  Jan 20 2019, 08:04:51 PM

bwayphreak234 said: "I have seen the new production on tour and when it was at the Imperial. It is a clunky mess of epic proportions. The set is cheap looking, the scenic transitions are unwieldy and "jerky", and the lighting is oftentimesso dark that you cannot see anything.Also,the action is super constricted by the narrow proscenium which also creates some horrible sight line issues.

The original staging is iconic, epic, and sweeping. I love seeing new product


THE OFFICIAL 2018 TONY AWARDS VIEWING THREAD  Jun 10 2018, 11:50:17 PM

schubox said: "Man this thread was depressing to read through. For a community of supposed theater lovers you all seem to hate the theater, and other people who also love it"

That seems to be the MO of these boards more often than not, unfortunately.

 



The Bette Midler version of Gypsy is up there with the best productions of this show.  Apr 14 2018, 02:12:18 AM

Change my mind.

The cast (Midler, Christine Ebersole, Peter Reigert, Ed Asner, Cynthia Gibb, Andrea Martin, etc) were all amazing. The orchestra killed it too.

"Get Yourself a Gimmick" and "Rose's Turn" were just brilliant.



American figure skater used music from Miss Saigon  Feb 11 2018, 09:31:25 PM

THEATER TALK  Jul 18 2017, 01:34:03 AM

The problem with it is that Michael Riedel is a jaded NY theater snob who delights more in watching shows fail than he does admiring those that succeed. I've never got the impression that he enjoys anything. I guarantee he's a complete nightmare to restaurant staff when he goes out to eat.

Pearl Sun for Alice Ripley as Diana in the "Next to Normal" tour.  She was brilliant.



Legally Blonde Musical Opinions  Apr 18 2017, 12:45:54 PM



- They made it so Elle didn't even get into Harvard on her own merits.  They took the scene from the movie, which actually showed that Elle got in because she had qualifications, and made it into "oh we should admit her because she's hot."  They also made Elle too stupid to apparently write an essay, which would have gotten her application thrown out in the first place.  Oh, and Elle has to convince the admissions guy to let


Legally Blonde Musical Opinions  Apr 18 2017, 01:53:17 AM

People probably consider "Legally Blonde" a guilty pleasure, but I think it's well crafted enough to rise above that.  I first saw it on the MTV broadcast, not expecting much, and was pretty blown away.  The songs are insanely catchy (I get What You Want, So Much Better, Serious and Omigod You Guys stuck in my head sometimes and they refuse to leave for hours).  The staging is clever and has impressively quick set changes.  And I think the acting in the

Best Broadway Show Adapted from An Original Movie?  Mar 26 2017, 12:28:42 AM

For me it's definitely Hairspray. I love that show.



MISS SAIGON Reviews  Mar 24 2017, 04:06:12 AM

What is your definition of "done on the cheap"?  The lack of automation?  

They have a huge ensemble, a full orchestra and a set that fills the giant stage of the Broadway theater.  



Best Musical since 1976?  Mar 13 2017, 03:40:19 AM

Astute observation.  

New poll:  What is the best musical since 1776? I mean, it won that year (1969), but beat out shows like Promises, Promises and Hair!  Discuss.



Beauty and the Beast  Mar 13 2017, 01:39:39 AM

And yes, while I can hear big hints of auto-tune on Emma Watson during "Belle" and "Something There", to my ears at least, she is not even CLOSE as bad as the entire cast's auto-tune in that disappointing , musical-film hating Annie movie from 2014. OH! MY! GOD! Everyone in that movie was heavily auto-tuned to death, at least in Beauty and the Beast, it's in small doses for Watson and Stevens at most. Thankfully.<

Best Musical since 1976?  Mar 13 2017, 01:28:36 AM
