I'm a fan of hers so I'm biased. Do I want it? No. Would I see it? Probably.
I agree that she might have an original score in her (though you'd have to get her away from Jack Antonoff and maybe Max Martin). I don't think it would come as naturally as Waitress did to Sara Bareilles but if she really tried, I think her songwriting is stronger than most people give her credit for. I think she'd have to work with an interesting composer because her own music tends to be
Epic certainly makes more sense when you explain it like that. We differ on our opinions about the quality of the original musicals. I can see how you'd have a more positive view of the decade when you compare your list of great shows to mine.
I'm not just hating on recent shows. I think 2000-2009 Broadway was similar. Meh overall but with some standout original shows.
Definitely bundle up. Scarves, gloves, etc. Make sure there's no way for the cold air to get in.
If you can and it doesn't go against the theater policies, bring a blanket or a chair if you plan to sit.
If you think you'll be out for a couple of hours, it helps to have a buddy or make friends in line so you can make a quick run to a nearby restroom or grab coffee.
Don't do something dangerous. It's not worth it to stay out hours on a freezi
I was just thinking about Barrett Foa while fast-forwarding through the parade on CBS. I can't say how artistically fulfilling it is to be on a show like NCIS: LA or Supergirl or Private Practice but given how unstable theater can be, I'm not mad at anyone for getting those checks.
I'm just happy that, for example, Shoshana Bean has started to do more concerts in New York.

Yes, all performances at the parades are lip-synched due to sound logistics. That’s why you’ll notice performers are atsometimes a little off as they are lip-syncing to the feedback on location that isn’t properly synched to the camera feed. This was evident durin
I'm coming around on Six. Best case scenario, it joins the cool kids club with Hadestown and Moulin Rouge. Otherwise it might be written off like other shows targeted to a younger demographic.
I think Company will sell well enough but I don't think it'll be impossible to get a ticket.
Best case scenario, Girl From the North Country taps into that Once audience. The successful jukebox musicals generally seem to be the more fun and upbeat ones. But anything's

Really great. Row C. I had a great view the whole time except occasionally when an actor wasn't facing my direction (which is just going to happen regardless of where you sit in a production like this). Also, there were a couple times when the top of the cello obscured my view of someone on the other side of the stage.
Bettyboy72 said: "Sounds like this show is going to limp along until it closes. There’s nothing worse than when the “bloom is off the rose” of a show and cast start phoning it in and not showing up. I always try to see shows before awards are handed out. After that, it’s typically touch and go."
For the evening performance, everyone I was really hoping to see was in. I'm so glad I got to see Damon and Mary. I don't think the role would
I'm finally seeing the show tonight. I'm disappointed Rebecca will be out as I usually enjoy her performances. Hoping for Damon and Patrick just because of the word of mouth on this board from previews.

I like Taylor Swift but she's not the best singer. I legitimately cannot tell if her diction is different because she's trying to sound better for a musical theater role or if she's trying to do an accent. You can hear it in the way she pronounces words like "chances" and "born."
This doesn't sound like Cats. At best it sounds like a really watered down version of "On My Own."
Do you have any artistic skills? There are some very talented Broadway fans. But I wouldn't make something just to make something. Like, don't suddenly try to learn embroidery or screen printing just to have a gift but if there's something you know how to do very well, it's a nice gesture. I think of gifts like flowers. It's a token of appreciation in the moment you present it. Flowers die and get thrown out. Some people might not even wait until they've wilted. It'
Phillytheatreguy10 said: "^ interesting point, but while not great numbers, Club Knocked up and Dear Old Shiz do serve a conventional purpose- they’re both scene change songs. They arguably would stop the show if it were to go to black and come up on a new scene, so they both keep the momentum going into the next scene- and the latter gives Glinda a chance to change and not only for the set to change."
Fair point. In good shows, I guess I rarely want numbers cu
