It's a play that's better when it's funny than when it's dramatic, it's hard to talk about it without spoiling it tho. It generalizes a bit too much on the point it tries to make and I felt like it gave it away poorly. Like, it momentarily raises an important question but then drifts aways on something else.
Sorry, I know it's generic, but it's really really hard not to spoil it. Try reading some London reviews.

The book can be hit or miss, but the score is one of the greatest.

It's clearly written with a New York audience in mind, I'm sure a transfer has always been the goal. Hopefully they will fix the second part, which at times feels a bit of a let down after the excellent first one.

I think it's unlikely. a part from the physical and emotive traumas, she will be very pregnant by then, she'd still need to leave London in the middle of the run.
Sierra Boggess to play Maria in West Side Story in London Apr 20

It's not the full West Side Story, it's just the score, it's scheduled to last 76 minutes. But that's beyond the point, if you're doing WSS you should always a Latina Maria.

Yes, as above, but it's a West End show so they don't have free playbills to send, you'd better include a photo you'd like him to sign. And if you are American make sure to include an international stamp. I'm sure he will reply.

Actually it's called passion from the Latin "patior", which means "to suffer".

Mueller is a deeply intuitive actress, and part of her strength lies in her great instincts and in-the-moment presence. Bearing in mind that nobody ever sets out to put up a BAD Broadway production, if the rep
Hampstead has a very large Jewish community and many patrons that go to that theatre are indeed Jewish. I found myself grinning at that line, not because it's funny - it's actually quite horrifying - but because it's a very peremptory and self-assured theological opinion, especially coming from a woman who thinks the devil made the dryer.
Scarywarhol said: "But Prior is the only other character with AIDS in the play, and I don't mind it at all. We don't know how much longer he makes it, and I don't know how bearable the play would be without some kind of hope at the end of so many hours "
This is very true, I think many people underestimate how much Prior has worsened over those 5 years. The stage directions suggest a very debilitated man that needs a cane to
