It does seem like most from this board seem to cheer on the NYT review. For those of you who are fans of Be More Chill, here are the raves and other positive reviews that many from the board here don't seem as interested in acknowledging:
Deadline: BE MORE CHILL (Broadway) Reviews Mar 11
2019, 05:45:00 PM
Despite the majority of this board loving the Prom and not liking Be More Chill, I put both of those musicals, along with Beetlejuice and Ain’t too Proud in the “too close to call” for a Best Musical nomination.
If it is as close as I believe it is, I think Be More Chill could get the nomination (as others noted) as a way to give a nod to the next generation of Broadway.
Braniff Forever said: "Also it seem like BMC has dropped each week in avg ticket price as well as capacity. Is this normal for a successful show? "
This could be the result of die hard fans getting their tickets for the first week or two, as well as the ups and downs of the calendar. Last week was a tough week for many shows. Look for things to generally be better for most shows as the weather gets better and as we get closer to summer.

RWPrincess: It’s all good. Keep posting your reviews. This is the internet. Keep a thick skin and don’t worry about people who critique your critique. If people don’t like your Disney references, keep it in mind. But also keep in mind that there are thousands of other people on this board who aren’t complaining and who are appreciative of anyone who is willing to share their view points.

For the most part, as an audience member, you won't really know any difference between a preview and a "normal" performance. (In case your excitement expected something out of the ordinary.)"
Except that you might see more technical issues during the previews, like the squip
Robbie2 said: "JSquared2 said: "The BMC fanbase falls almost exclusively in that awkward 22-28 age range that is too young to have enoughmoney to buy full price tickets and (usually) too old to have mommy and daddy there to enable them financially."
Really that's the FAN BASE age 22-28? I thought this was for teens-college years (13-22)? It's about kids-teenagers!"
IF the NYT gives another I-don’t-get-it review of BMC, are there any examples from history of shows that were massive fan favorites, did not receive critical acclaim, and ended up winning Best Musical?
The remaining two slots (uncertain, but these appear to be the most likely contenders):
Be More Chill
The Prom
Aint Too Proud
Beetlejuice
My early prediction is that Beetlejuice surprises (the set and cast are amazing - and the creatives are allegedly working on notable improvements to book and score) and that the nomination committee giv
If you're looking for a big room, then don't do it. But if you're on a budget and just need a bed in a place that is clean and feels comfortable and safe, this is a good choice and I'd totally go back and stay there again.
The room I was in had bunkbeds, not a double bed. That was perfect for my travel companion and me, but be aware that these are beds made for a single person.
Perhaps CITS might have back to back Tony winners in the same theatre. That’s gotta be rare (given that many Tony winning shows last into the subsequent season).
This sounds like an interesting show and like Once on this Island might be given extra credit for thinking outside the box when up against a traditional approach.
Oklahoma transferring to Circle in the Square... Dec 11

Can someone describe further how this is not for traditional theatre goers, or why someone would say that? Another person said it was avant garde.
I’m genuinely curious how this is different from a traditional production of Oklahoma. Is it sexually explicit? How is it dark?

LOL! YES!
I like what the creatives at Be More Chill called the new look on facebook: retro/futuristic. Similar to what I think Muse was going for. The pixel head and tshirt concept aren't 80's -- so it's some sort of purposeful fusion of the new and old.
For those who haven't seen the show, one of the characters is into
The blue and hot pink of the 80's seems to be what the cool kids are doing. Take a look at Muse's new album cover.

Surprise, surprise, King Kong at $1.2m!
I may be in the minority, but I'm rooting for this one in the same way that I rooted for the movie Avatar (which I thought was just ok).
I want producers and investors to take big money risks to bring crazy visual spectacles to Broadway and I want it to pay off on occasion so that we'll see more of it (and even better versions of it) in the future.
