I sat two rows in front of Cher at this past Sunday's evening show. My opinion is that the 1st act needs a lot of work. Jokes fell flat, I didn't really care that much about the characters, there wasn't a lot of energy or excitement presented. There also is an issue with the sound, very hard to hear at points, and the musical numbers seem a tad weak.
The 2nd half bought be back though! Full of energy, humor, and emotion.
I have an opportunity to see the 2nd part of Angels in America this Sunday. My question is, should I if I wont be able to see Part 1 first? Do they stand alone well, or will I be lost?
wish i were here2 said: "BIG shout out, to Alex Michael Stoll, who I pretty much gawked at throughout the entire show"
You should have seen the view from the front row! Dave Thomas Brown's ass was hanging out for most of the work out scenes. The straps to his jock or dance belt were on full display as was his taint during the thrusting....someone needs to tape those shorts down! (or not)
I sat in the front row last Saturday night, only drawback was getting covered in smashed fake red blood in act 2! House manager seemed shocked after the show to see what happened to myself and those around me. Hopefully they correct this ASAP!
Anyone have any insight in the likelihood that this Saturdays matinee of Shuffle Along will be cancelled or not? I am seeing 4 shows this Saturday and Sunday and if Audra is going to still be ill I would like to book something else!
Premium Tix cheaper at the box office? Mar 19

I travel to NY often for business and see shows by myself regularly, I will be in town in a few weeks and want to see the Audience. There are few tix available, but there are 3 single premium tix at $265 each. My question is, if I go to the box office on the day of the show, will these tix be any cheaper? I was able to get a premium tix to Glass Menagerie this way, just wondering if I was lucky or if that is the way it works. Thanks

I am totally in favor of gay guys playing straight characters. I had no trouble with ZQ in Glass Menagerie or vis-à-vis Fredrick Weller playing a gay guy in Mothers & Sons. They both, and many others, do it with credibility. With all of the sexual blurred lines, ass grabbing & semi orgy scene in Pippin, I just got the feeling KDM was enjoying it too much. I mean, I know if it was me, Orion could do whatever he wanted to me!!! MJT just made it work in a way that KDM just can't. Make sense?

Ok, I've seen the current Pippin production 3 times, with a different Berthe each time. While Annie Potts was cute she didn't steal the show like Andrea and Tovah did.
KDM while looks incredible in the shirtless scenes, just isn't believable to me. Maybe it's his age or that he just sounds super gay. I am gay, so I think I am allowed to say that without being homophobic. He just doesn't cut it as a straight guy to me.
Extension for Mothers & Sons? Apr 3

I saw M&S on its first preview, really want to see it again at the end of June with friends. It is currently only scheduled until June 8th? Anyone know if it will be extended or what is the time frame for that announcement? Thanks
