Ditto. Wasn't expecting that going in to this recording, either. Oh well. And while I sort of appreciate that they wanted to include the orchestration for the dance break, I wish they would've left out the random giggles and heavy breathing and outbursts. That was awkward to listen to.
RippedMan said: "Honestly, the actresses ages didn’t bother me? Do they specify in the show their ages?"
Not specifically, but the plot is that Elsa has come of age and is being formally coronated, which I assume is not happening at age 40. And we know that Anna is younger. Assuming that Elsa's coronation is happening at age 18 or 21, I would consider them both older teenagers/young women. I don't think they needed to be played by actual teenagers, but
I'd say Mean Girls for your last one... but it's really a matter of your own preferences. I appreciated the design & details of Sleep No More, but had a hard time not rolling my eyes at the pretentiousness of it all. Not my cup of tea.
Mean Girls isn't perfect, but I was smiling the whole night - it's just fun and entertaining. And the singing is great.
Some innovative technology that would've left us all saying "how'd they do that?!" It's 2018 and Disney has the budget to technically knock our socks off. It's a movie about magic and about 'testing the limits and breaking through... no right, no wrong, no rules'... It's a shame they played it so safe.
Also, I second the thing about casting younger actresses. Nothing at all against Caissie Levy and Patti Murin as they're both wi

Eh, I disagree. I saw the show twice in December, and then again in March, and while he was totally checked out in March, I thought he was already pretty checked out in December too. It's like he forgot he needs to be present throughout the whole show and can't just growl and belt through one song and call it a day. People will go crazy over Mama Will Pro
I sent it to my mom this morning because she's been dying to see the choreo, and she said she couldn't even get through the whole thing because it was making her nauseated. I am hoping (maybe foolishly) that this was a mistake and that they'll be posting a mea culpa and the real version soon.

Broadway.com has it on their Facebook page (posted from the master, not from YouTube I assume), but it's the same sped up version. Surely that can't be on purpose.... ? Why would they
Oh, I'm so happy to see this! The choreography was far and beyond my favorite part of this show.
Though... it looks bizarrely sped up, right? Is that just me? I thought it was YouTube being glitchy and that the video would end well before the audio, but it didn't. Am I imagining that??

Haha I had the same reaction and then remembered what site I was on...
OP, definitely don't miss Once On This Island - it's a totally different production than the original! For your other, I'd say Band's Visit (it's polarizing here, but clearly critically loved... really your call if it
I did the lottery last Thursday (first try, single ticket) and ended up in orchestra K2, which I thought was an absolutely perfect seat. FWIW, I haven't met anyone yet who has lost the lottery recently. It'll get busier once the summer tourists show up, but right now is a great time to win.

I’m ready for the swarm of people that are going to show up at my door with pitchforks for saying it, but what about it was really that good? I get it’s a weak season but still. There are a few redeeming moments in the score but why does the book deserve to win? There isn’t even real plot with a beginning, middle, and end. It’s just starts and keeps
I totally agree that Answer Me didn't play as well on the Today Show. (I love the song and loved the show, but that turntable stage is so key!) I'm really hoping they do Welcome to Nowhere - there's so much wit in the show and it really shows that off. Maybe a medley of that and Omar Sharif. Itgara'a/Something Different is beautiful in the show, but I think would be a really terrible choice out of context when people don't know these characters. Even in the show, as g
EllieRose2 said: "Spongebob? Seriously? That's just embarrassing for the academy."
Did you actually see the show and hate it, or are you bashing it on name alone? If it's the former, that's of course your prerogative - we're all entitled to our own informed opinions. If it's the latter, get over yourself and actually see the production. It's delightful. "The Academy" thinks so as well.
For plays, Three Tall Women is a great choice... especially since you likely won't have time for Angels in America or Harry Potter.
Have you seen Band's Visit yet? Several people are mixed on it, but it's definitely worth seeing if it interests you at all, especially with this cast. (Personally I loved it.) Then again, it's pretty opposite from Mean Girls in terms of style, so if that's the one that's of i
disneybroadwayfan22 said: "What I don't get is why they had SIX actresses and FOUR actors? Why wereJelani and the Margarita actor shut out?"
They had six actresses because there was a tie between the 5th & 6th choices. (Or within a certain small number of votes different if not a direct tie - I can't remember the number of votes it has to be to force a 6th nominee.) But it's standard voting procedure and rules, not an arbitrary decision.
