I only ask because my partner has been a lifelong Tina Turner fan and really wants to see this show (which I rarely get, he’s more of an opera fan than theatre), so I would love for him to see the better/more accurate if at all possible. I hear nothing but amazing things for Warren.

Well, they are doing a “live spectacular” tour next year... scoobylivetour.com
Just the thought of this humors me. It will probably be as stupifying as the CATS film. I still remember RUGRATS LIVE! and that was scary itself.
The timing of Dolly VS TKAM, while not exactly matched, is very coincidental. Dolly’s closing was announced end of April, the lawsuit over Mockingbird was settled in May. Dolly closed in June, and Mockingbird started previews in November.
I’m sure Rudin moved out Dolly for TKAM. Even though it was doing fine (and could have done better had they continued), Rudin could smell
I was traveling for the holidays, and has anyone noticed the incredible advertising all over JFK? My partner asked me if they had done a special appearance there or something. It was so aggressive but in the most impressive way.
I hope that there’s some future for this show, even if I didn’t care for it in DC. I think it would be perfect for a filming and release/airing (similar to SpongeBob) i
HunterK said: "Anything for Cyber Monday from Roundabout? Last year they had a great discount and was hoping for something for Caroline or Change. If anyone know anything, truly appreciate the share.
I did notice that Goldstar is doing a cyber Monday sale for Caroline or Change and a few others, but was hoping to choose my seats.

My memory is failing me at the moment and I don’t have it in me to go through both threads on this show:
Did anyone on this board see it in London? Has anyone seen both productions? It’s wild to me that the show seemed universally loved across the pond and here it’s the opposite.
As I said in the other thread, I bought the script at the old Drama Book Shop when it was first published and really enjoyed it. It seems to be a piece that is more enjoyable on paper than on it’s fee

Zoom into the photo, bottom center - I believe those little things are the replica props.
“Do people think for themselves anymore? Or even think...in general? Or do they just wait for something to get enraged about so they can pick up their phones and add another empty cluck to the latest trending chicken coop?” - Isaac Cole Powell, aka Tony.
This whole thing is a dumpster fire.

JBroadway, in the article it states that he’s using the film version of America, so I’d bet good money that he’s more influenced by the film than the actual piece itself.
What a wonderful musical, and what a sad flop of a revival this is going to be.

Finally got around to watching this last night. Could have been so much better - casting, designs, songs, effects, etc. There were a lot of “Oooo, that was almost great” moments and the frustrating part is...there’s no reason it couldn’t have been the best Live! Musical yet. Disney has more money than God and had they taken their time with it, this could have been really great.
There are tons of Mermaid adaptations - Disney World show, theme park rides, the show in Tokyo, the Broadway M

I’m fascinated that a play I loved reading is being received so poorly. I don’t doubt the opinions being shared, but it must read better than they have produced it. Am I crazy?

I doubt there will be a discount code. The last 2 performances are all resale for hundreds, but leading up to January 3rd prices aren’t bad, just higher than normal (around $89-90 before fees).
I love the basic skeleton of it - the characters, themes, the arc/ and flow make sense, but this could have used a lot of changes prior to being adapted. Everyone is miscast. Kerry Washington is pretty one note throughout the whole thing (and only has one facial expression for 90% of it) and everyone else is Acting so hard that it’s cringey. Definitely needed a different director and several dialogue rewrites.
I’m bummed because this subject
