Saw this tonight with the family. I liked it a lot. The ladies are very talented and the choreography, lighting and costumes were outstanding. The music is catchy and the lyrics are smart, poignant and funny. The audience ate it up (it seemed there are some Six groupies out there who have seen the show multiple times based on the crowd’s response). I was surprised how relevant and touching it was having gone to the show cold, just knowing the basic concept from reading the comments in this

That was pretty terrific. Great staging and concept. Leaps and bounds better than the other musicals recently done on TV. And very brave for John Legend to take this on. He acquitted himself very well.
So I am wondering how housing works for casts and crews that travel in shows on tour. Does everyone stay at hotels or apartments? Do the producers pay and arrange for housing or do cast members pay out-of-pocket and make their own arrangements? Are meals covered? Are the arrangements the same for a sit-down production that runs for months (such as the production of Hamilton in Chicago)? So "stars" get special accommodations? Do fami
My wife, son, and I saw today's matinee. The costumes and sets were pretty spectacular from our seats. Disney didn't cheap out for the tour in my opinion. The story stays pretty close to the movie and was probably the weakest aspect of the show (loved the parrot jokes though). We also saw Manny Stark as Aladdin and he did a fine job. Anthony Murphy was very funny as Genie. Energetic and fun choreography.
Forgive me if this has been explained, but James Lapine was nominated for Falsettos when it first appeared on Broadway. Can he be nominated again (even though he lost)?
A fun show with a lot of great character parts is L'il Abner. Not too well known today since it is based on an old comic strip but it would be a good choice. Likewise, Finian's Rainbow is a great show for a diverse community. Both shows are funny and have a satirical political edge as well as good music. I also loved being in Carnival! in high school but it could be somewhat technical with the the circus setting, magic, and puppets. Good luck with your choice.<
Hey, I agree not all movies need a happy ending to be good. There are other problems with LA LA LAND that (in my and my wife's opinions) make LA LA LAND less than satisfying. Underdeveloped characters and lack of complexity to the story being a couple of problems. We have liked other movie musicals that don't quite end happily-ever-after (SWEENEY TODD, LES MIZ, INTO THE WOODS). If you like the movie, fine. I am glad movie musicals are bein
I, too, felt the movie was pleasant but not worth a lot of the hype. The production design, cinematography, and direction were good. Emma and Ryan were an attractive couple. The opening two group numbers were creative but the vocals were so soft and lacking in individuality that the movie didn't engage me until it focused on the couple.. I liked Emma's audition song, probably because I was engaged in her story by that time (and it did remind me of &qu
Anthony Rapp played Charlie Brown (his followup to Rent) and B.D. Wong (his followup to M. Butterfly) played Linus. That cast did pretty well for themselves.
My daughter saw it last night while she was in New York on business. She enjoyed it very much and gave high praise to the cast, who brought out the humor in the well-written thoughtful script. She loved the use of projections of social media pages. Her single seat was in the center of the orchestra, which she thought provided a great view (purchased at TKTS for about $90).
Oh for goodness sake. It was a show of support for shooting victims and the candidate by the Broadway community. Who cares who was up on stage and singing? It was not a concert. There were no head mics. If you had the opportunity to be up on that stage, would anyone here turn it down? Some people like to complain just to hear themselves complain.
