Teen Agnst Musical Theatre Songs  Mar 9 2019, 08:05:19 PM

Several great choices from Be More Chill and The Prom.  I know that Be More Chill also released a karaoke version of their accompaniment tracks which would be easy to use at a Cabaret.  You could definitely consider all of Natalie's songs in Next To Normal.  American Idiot might work too; as well as Dogfight (even though we don't know Rose's exact age).

ps - Last 5 years isn't really teen.  It's more 20s angst.

AMAZING GRACE is amazingly still at it...  Feb 19 2019, 11:11:05 AM
I’ve seen some local ads for technical jobs in recent weeks. Tickets are on sale now. Looks like they’re trying to tap the peak tourist season in DC performing 5 show weekends.

Marie, Dancing Still (formerly Little Dancer)  Feb 18 2019, 02:30:10 PM

CATSNYrevival said: "I liked the title Little Dancer better."

absolutely a better title . I wonder what precipitated the change?  Confusion with Elton's "Tiny Dancer"?  But Marie is awfully generic.  It's not an iconic name like Evita or even Amelie .  I saw that Tiler Peck is back in the lead role after having also done it at the Kennedy Center; as are a number of the other folks from that cast.

Beetlejuice for kids/good show?  Jan 17 2019, 10:30:13 AM

It depends on the age of your kids. I went with a high school kid and was totally comfortable.  My kids were more uncomfortable sitting next to me in Book of Mormon than Beetlejuice (at ages 16 and 18).  I'd probably give the DC version a SOLID PG-13 rating...but they may be toning that down some before opening on Broadway.  It would make good commercial sense, IMO, if they got to more of a PG level.  It's not nearly as clever or funny as Book of Mormon in its DC t

BEETLEJUICE - Pre-Broadway Tryout in DC  Oct 24 2018, 03:57:52 PM


Book needs to be funnier, but I guess that's what they're workshopping. Some jokes fell completely flat with no reaction. Beetlejuice as a character is very unevenly written. It's not Alex Brightman's fault, it's the material. Sometimes, the humor was great (One of my biggest laughs was the "Fuck Brigadoon" moment), but more often than not, it fell flat for me. It's like they're trying to figure out what type of humor to imitate, so they're

I will try the lottery, with a friend, if we don’t win, we can buy tickets latter right?

The show is not sold out, so there will be left seats, right?

BEETLEJUICE - Pre-Broadway Tryout in DC  Oct 22 2018, 04:23:07 PM
If you are looking to purchase tickets, there are quite a few entrances / exits made thru the orchestra and most (but not all) are in the house right aisle...and there were LOTS of great seats still available.

Always wonder why this disappears sometimes.  Oct 17 2018, 04:27:32 PM

A recorded version or the original Jamie cast is showing is US theatres in November.  Maybe catch it and see one of the others? https://www.jamieincinemas.com/



Anastasia or Beetlejuice with 13 year old boy?  Oct 17 2018, 11:46:00 AM

It's a little hard to say since very few people have actually seen Beetlejuice at this point.  However, seeing shows at the Kennedy Center Opera House and the National Theatre are very different experiences.  The Kennedy Center and Opera House are very large scale and grand; with seating for 2,300.  The National feels much more like a Broadway house with a more intimate setting of 1,600. 

I often find the sound at the Kennedy Center to be quite problematic with
