Also, you'll be pleased to know that the Golden Theater is one of Broadway's smallest and your view will be fine - though you still may enjoy using the glasses to see actors' facial expressions etc...
You're in for a treat! One of the best plays I've seen in a long, long time!
It's an interesting question regarding his gender fluidity. But really, if he had had more to do in the show, and thereby had shown more complex character development, I have no doubt he would have been nominated. But other than the one big number which is really not much of a highlight except for his sometimes soaring vocal, I think the nominations are fair as they stand. Hopefully he will have lots of great performances to come in future shows...

I thought she was just great! Her rendition of her spectacular song from FALSETTOS, “Im Breaking Down”, was especially wonderful. I cant wait to see how she adapts her belting style to become Cher in The Cher Show this coming season! :)
Another informative analysis of the nominations, but weird that they fail to mention Glenda Jackson and Laurie Metcalf in the paragraph referencing "boldface" names!
She should be fine - there is nothing she wouldn't see on tv any day of the week, and it's far tamer than Rent and way less traumatic than Fun Home...sounds like she's a true musical theater lover!
I'm hearing that Katherine McPhee, the new lead in Waitress, is especially good, by the way!
My best "leaving at intermission" story...my friend Lee and I were given tickets for a preview of the legendarily bad Broadway show MOOSE MURDERS. The late great Eve Arden had already dropped out of the show (wise woman!) and her part was being played by someone then new to the scene, Holland Taylor (!)...My friend Lee was a deeply-committed, serious actress...I love the theater, and loved my craft, but I also love a good train wreck! MOOSE MURDERS did not disappoint in

I know that many on this thread are not huge fans of the creative direction of this revival, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.I am a long-time Broadway fan, but have never listenedto or seen this production before. I went in with zero expectations, and now have added it to my top 5 shows of all time.
The talent in this production is ridiculous, every single voice is exceptional and I felt perfec

Rodgers and Hammerstein's licensing webpage has a thumbnail description of CAROUSEL, which concludes with the line "...of all the shows they created, CAROUSEL was Rodgers and Hammerstein's personal favorit
I'm seeing Part 2 tonight (Wed) after a thrilling Part 1 last Friday, 2/23. Does anyone know is tonight the first preview of Part 2? Or, if not, has anyone seen Part 2 and have any thoughts about what you saw?
I was mesmerized by Part 1! Having seen the original production in 1993, memories of that production came to my mind as I watched this revival, but the show felt fresh and newly-minted...glorious performances across the board...I was not surprised at Nathan
I emailed and told him about that error...noticed it also. He NEVER seems to get his facts straight about things like this - and it would be so easy to check!!
I saw it last night (Thurs, Feb 8th). The production itself (orchestra, costumes, sets, lights) are in spectacular shape. I saw it twice with Bette, and I have to say, much as I loved Bette, Bernadette brings a kind of fiery spunk that feels authentic as Dolly (Dolly "Gallagher" from the old Irish neighborhood, let's keep in mind), and her singing was fabulous - evidently she is over the cold or whatever it was referred to here in earlier posts from the last couple of week
No definitive answer from me, but I'm guessing Fosse just happened to love that music and felt it was exactly what he wanted in those moments? He used a very wide range of music, pop, classical, and original, as you know...
Some notes from the AllMusic Review by Donald A. Guarisco refer to additional pop songs used in the soundtrack, and other types of music :
One of the most audacious Hollywood films of the late 1970s was All That Jazz, Bob Foss
I also missed the discount codes - waited too long to buy tickets. Box office told me all discounts had been withdrawn due to very robust ticket sales. I ended up paying full price as the performance I wanted was almost sold out!
Still, I think you can keep watch in Feb/March as it seems likely there will be codes again, or at least some tix released to TKTS day of...but good for this show! Things looked pretty damn bleak before the rave reviews came out!
Am I the only one who thought it strange that the wonderful surprise birthday cake at end of performance of Hello, Dolly! for Bette Midler's 72nd birthday was simply a "cake billboard" for the show and made no mention of her birthday? Oh, well. I hope the cake was scrumptious, at least! :)

Original production of La Cage did not recoup. Nor did Woman of the Year.
