SING STREET @ NYTW  Dec 2 2019, 04:06:03 PM

I saw this last night and really enjoyed it. 

The young cast is fantastic. It was really refreshing to see such talent onstage. 

I think for the most part they have done a good job of adapting the film. I think that the sister could be cut entirely to give the brothers a little more focus. 

However, I think the show could use a bit more color if it were to transfer to Broadway. I don't think the English Channel is necessary for the entire show's bac


The Little Shop got extended till March 8!  Nov 26 2019, 10:16:50 AM

I got this as well. It saidGroff through the 19th and Glick starts on 21. 



Slave Play-Actress replaced mid-scene  Nov 25 2019, 04:28:05 PM

I didn't see anyone post this. I've seen a lot this weekend so haven't really had time. I saw Slave play on Friday night and midway through the final 20ish minutes of play before the actress playing Kaneisha walked across the stage and walked through the bedroom the a door. Before she'd even left, there was an announcement that the role would be played by someone else. Of course what follows in this scene is a very long monologue and her voice seemed to be going though I

JLP Rush?  Nov 19 2019, 03:57:07 PM

I rushed this on Saturday. I got there at 8am and was 7th in line. Most people came right before 9am and then the line got fairly long. 

I was front row. The stage is high, and to be honest this show is a lot to take from the front row with the projections and choreography! I'm sad they didn't change it more from Boston as it still has the same problems I had with it there. Still can't beat the price and I think Tom Kitt's orchestrations are great!



London - Christmas  Oct 30 2019, 10:54:07 AM

No reason to see Tina in London. See it in NYC as Adrienne Warren IS the show. 

I like Six over there as you get the accents and its a really small theater. Not a bad seat. 

I'm checking out Soho Cinders at Charring cross as I've really fallen in love with the score! Also looking forward to The Boy Friend at Menier which will be my first time seeing something there. Ian Mckellen's show is one that I plan on seeing as well. 

The reviews weren'


The Lightning Thief previews thread  Sep 23 2019, 03:49:05 PM

I saw this Sunday night. I had TDF seats that were in Row B orchestra on the Aisle which were great!

Chris McCarrell was out which I thought was a bit surprising since they had only done a few shows. 

I thought Sam Leicht was good in his absence. 

If you thought Be More Chill was too slick this is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It's a scrappy little show which sometimes works in its favor. I kinda start rooting for it in spite of itself and the story t


Derren Brown - Coming to Broadway???  Sep 11 2019, 10:49:55 PM

I saw this on Tuesday. I don't usually go for the special event shows on Broadway, but I have to say I took a chance with a TDF ticket (Row A second row orchestra) and thoroughly enjoyed this. 

Derren Brown isn't necessarily doing anything that is new in the world of magic and mentalism etc, but he is such a charismatic performer and ties it all together so nicely that it makes for a really fun evening. 

I'd highly recommend this especially if you can grab


Handbagged at 59e59  Jun 5 2019, 01:06:10 PM

For those who don't know this is a new play as part of the Brits off Broadway festival at 59e59 theater. This play imagines what went on during the audiences between The Queen and Margret Thatcher.

I saw the first preview of this last night. I really wanted to love it. Susan Lynskey and Beth Hylton were outstanding unfortunately the play is disappointing and also has been re-written for American audiences which I found disappointing. The new references felt either forced (vague Tru


HIGH BUTTON SHOES  May 9 2019, 10:32:55 AM

Even with the cast I say skip this show. I am a big encores fan and never miss a show there, but this one was a doozy. 

I think this is the worst show they have done since Irma La douce. The show is a third rate music man plot but felt so shoddily put together. It seemed to amble from a book scene with random musical numbers thrown in. As the older lady next to me put, "the story is just odd." (She didn't stay for act 2)
 

On paper Michael Urie seeme


FRANKIE AND JOHNNY Previews  May 7 2019, 10:11:33 AM

I saw this last night and loved it! I think the show is in great shape. I'm sad that they couldn't have slotted this in in time for Tony season as I think Audra and Michael would both be contenders. My one criticism is that I think both are a bit too attractive for these characters as another poster mentioned. But still its a fine display of acting from them both. 

I think the play is still quite lovely and McNally's dialogue is wonderful. So many funny scenes and I th


THE FLAMINGO KID at Hartford Stage  May 7 2019, 09:57:34 AM

I'll be there on Saturday night and really looking forward to it (even if that means I have to spend the night in Hartofrd!)

I just watched the move last weekend and absolutely loved it (Wow young Jessica Walter!). I want to go to the beach club where it was filmed too!



The prom rush  May 1 2019, 02:52:30 PM

I rushed on Sunday got there about 11:45am (15 minutes before opening) and was about 10th in line. I was able to get great side orch seats row L. Perfect for $40!



 Mar 27 2019, 12:31:35 PM

I saw this last night for the first preview. Interesting to be back in the Sweeny Todd theater and see the space totally reconfigured.

There was a speech before the show by director Lila Neugebauer explaining that the show had been re-written up until three hours ago and that there was someone available to call for lines if needed. This proved to be unnecessary as no one did.

I have to say I really enjoyed this show. The play could use some more edits and doesn’t a


KING LEAR Previews  Mar 1 2019, 12:03:22 PM

I saw this last night and definitely feel this production will generate some strong opinions.

The biggest (easy fix) issue right now is the sound. While I actually loved Philip Glass’s score it often overpowered any dialogue which is a pretty big problem to have in Shakespeare. It seemed like a lot of the ensemble were not miched which need to change. While I enjoyed the score the added songs (I think there are three now) don’t add much and in an already long show, they sho


KING LEAR Previews  Feb 28 2019, 11:02:49 AM

I'm going tonight and will report back. Anyone know a runtime yet?  



The Mother (The Atlantic Theater Company) - Previews  Feb 25 2019, 05:17:13 PM

I saw the first preview and have to disagree about Huppert. While she does have a thick accent, I did not have many issues with it and thought she was excellent and for at least the first 45 minutes giving quite a diva performance. The "how could you not love this" line comes to mind. 

I actually enjoyed the father, but this play fell short for me. Its uses repetition like the Waverly gallery but we keep seeing the multiple versions of scenes that play out differently. I


THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG Actors Fund  Feb 12 2019, 11:13:08 AM

I was there last night. Somehow I stumbled on this show earlier this year and become obsessed with the score. I thought it was so catchy and fun and loved the Tony performance which I have watched quite a bit.

The performance was introduced by NBC’s Bob Greenblatt who apparently became a fan of the show as a teenager on a trip to NYC when the top ticket price was $21.50!  It was nice to hear just how many people had reunited including a few of the original voices (though sad


!  Feb 7 2019, 10:44:18 AM

I saw this last night and found it to be delightful. I thought Carmen was a delight and loved her voice. I know she isn't merman but I thought she made it work. She's such a charmer and I'd go to a party hosted by her any day!

I also thought Jason Gotay was quite charming and Worsham did great work. Carol Kane and Darrell Hammond only have one scene, but it is a very fun one and Kane's pronunciation of Lichtenburg really cracked me up. 

Overall I found a lot


SEA WALL / A LIFE at The Public  Feb 6 2019, 11:23:20 AM

I saw this last night and echo the consensus that A Life is the better of the two. I thought Tom Sturridge was excellent but I was very frustrated by the play itself which seemed to present little more than misery for 45 minutes. 

Jake Gyllenhaal has such a warm presence and I thought he was so believable as a father to be. He's a very talented actor and it definitely is worth the price of admission to watch him alone on a stage for 50 minutes do his thing. 



Merrily We Roll Along Previews (2019)  Jan 17 2019, 11:56:29 AM

I saw Merrily last night and have to say, as a fan of the show, having seen the Encores version twice, the London production once, and the Boston cast of the London production, I do not think this version does the show any favors.

I think most can agree that Merrily’s scores is one of its best assets. This production has severely cut down the score, even the songs that are left in are shortened and chopped up. To anyone who has never seen this show I implore you to go listen to t
