of course this title is clickbait, but im in an airport waiting for my plane so ill bite...
i saw all the new shows and revivals this season. hadestown was fantastic,aint too proud was dazzling, tootsie was funny and well acted, and the prom was good fun. the fresh look at oklahoma held my attention
no blockbusters this season with long legs like evan hansen or hamilton except maybe aint too proud which i think will outlast hadestown
for the sf sitdown they have been offering on goldstar 97 side and back mezz tix and the cast here is fantastic
ive seen them three times and will go again in july

i never thought mathilda was a great musical i liked berties performance a lot... i listen to kinky boots songs all the time have seen in many times over its run and thoroughly enjoyed every cast and performance. i saw mathilda obc once and tour once and wouldnt go back again...
i know everyone has their favorites so respect those of you that loved mathilda more...
the audience certainly voted with grosses and giving kinky boots a 2500 performance run on bway vs 1500 sh

ain’t too proud can laugh all the way to the bank and to impacting and uplifting so many people
this show will outlast, outgross, and out tour hadestown and all other shows from this season combined
after seeing it prebroadway a handful of times and loving every single performance. i saw it sunday in nyc
somehow and fantastic show had gotten even better with the cast members operating at an absolutely incredible level (special shout out to ephram and jeremy...nice
The Prom Will Close 8/11 Jun 19
2019, 09:22:09 PM
just saw the show last week and sad to hear its closing
great book with some nice satire on bway and a lot of delightful fun score with several gems wonderful and very lovable cast all that said its a good and probably not great show with a story line thats not as likely to register mass appeal.
the bands visit won 10 tonys and closed after 18 because there is not sustained mass appeal for beautiful niche productions(although i read it did recoup)
i thi

this is a good move shocked they didnt do it from the start
just saw this last week for the first time and liked it a lot more than i thought i would its not great it is fun and entertaining and the guy playing the hotel manager/street person pretty much steals the show
i was also lucky enough to see roy orbison play a 400 person club in sf in 1982
he was the real deal
pretty woman is a truly iconic song, long before richard gere and julia rob

wow hamilton sf just showed up on goldstar with 95 rear mezz and side mezz seats also noticed top premium seats in center orch and front mezz arent selling and being discounted down to as low as 200 a few days before show
the san francisco cast is terrific, so looking like hamilton is reaching saturation after five mos in sf in 2017 and almost four months on this run....
im really surprised and think part of it may be that people dont think good tickets are available at rea

2019, 07:07:11 PM
i went to enter laughing thursday because of the good show score rating(87) and the fact its based on carl reiners autobiography.
what not aware of this former broadway show that starred robert morse.
the show was very entertaining, a classic musical comedy/farce of the 1930s style show set in the 30s, and really delivered well by the male lead in the show chris dwan(finding neverland) i also really liked the score enough to buy the original cast cd
catch it if you ca

Ain't Too Proud Reviews Mar 22
2019, 09:33:03 PM
this is a very good show thats super entertaining, well crafted performed and acted,and deserves the strong reviews from nyt and others.
i saw the first preview in berkeley and posted back then this deserves a place on broadway- (and mocked by others on this site)
i think it ranks below jersey boys and beautiful and ranks above (imo) any of the other biopic musicals....
i think it will get 3-5 nominations and could win for choregraphy costumes, lighting and maybe

im a bit more upbeat on this one than most on the board. is it sondheim? no is it thoroughly entertaining, fast moving and the songtrack of my life(and most others aged 50 plus)? yes
will it get any tony noms? yes i think so best supporting actor-sykes best choreography- best costumes best lighting
will it last more than a year probably just over
i found it much more fun and interesting than motown
it was ok kelli is mis cast no chemistry between the leads the gangsters are way over the top cartoonish the theatre was freezing cold i mean freezing
upsides the dancing and costumes are strong kellis singing is stunning as always always great to hear p
