Worst Broadway Show of the Decade? Dec 22

There's so much bad ****, BEETLEJUICE has no business being on there. Yes I'm biased but the masses are with me on this one-- it's delightful
The list of truly joyless shows of the last 5 years (when I started attending bway) is long but my vote goes to BE MORE CHILL.
Worst play has got to be The Cherry Orchard though. So dreadful.
Maybe that is the worst because I'd rather sit through BMC again instead of The Cherry Orchard.
Who?? Ugh I have a ticket during this period and now I'm going to miss Kyle Selig :'(

Nothing to repeat, just commenting to echo all the "yeas" for Little Shop and all the "nays" for Moulin Rouge (including the movie comment, the cast comment). This thread gets me! Lol.
Agree with the miss on the projection of the music videos. I didn't even think about it but at the very beginning thought they were actually going to use it more interactively. Nope. I spent most of the time confused about what was being shown (the clouds looked like dirt smudges and I thought the sea was wood grain) because they were indoors most of the time.
I also thought the ending was great, emotional and poignant. Did not need another more bombastic number.
8. During a performance of American Psycho, the blood cannon went off prematurely, spraying blood across the blood curtain about 10 seconds before Patrick kills his first victim."
Ha! That's funny. Reminds me of another technical mishap I read about -- audience member actually getting splattered with the fake blood.
1) Last Thursday at The Lightning Thief, while Percy was getting yelled at, the chair Chris McCarrell (Percy) was sitting on randomly broke. He had half-fallen but suspended himself up by one hand, while the other two on-stage actors amazingly carried the scene without breaking. Chris did break a little though. Unfortunately the chair breaking (literally) and Chris breaking (figuratively) were the funniest things that happened in the show...

What a bottom feeder!! I wish they countersued or the judge awarded legal fees to the defendant. She's also wasting the court's time with these frivolous lawsuits.
Was lucky enough to win the lottery! I don't know anything about the movie. I went into this cold and I loved it. I love how the show kicked off and was immediately endeared to Conor and the rest of the gang.
I will never, ever stopped being impressed by a person who is acting who is singing who is playing instruments, especially multiple instruments, and doing a bang up job of it. Because doing any single one of those things well is already impressive. Meanwhile I a

This was so dreary and long. I could not understand why I should care at all regarding the proceedings, let alone the reveals. Some of my fave AGT/BGT acts are magic acts (some infused with mentalism) but I guess I couldn't click the "next" button on this... snooze fest.
I will say that Derren Brown as a performer is very charming-- I genuinely laughed at his wisecracks, and honestly they were the best part of the show.
I wanted to see this but I cringed so hard at the online clips. It seems like I dodged a bullet. I definitely ran the other direction when you guys said "non-equity".
As a massive Queen fan, I actually saw and liked the original Toronto production. It was fun and I liked all the peppered-in Queen references and of course hearing all the songs performed live for the first time in my life. I disliked when they changed lyrics though.

It was crowded -- good thing too because we needed the body heat! No selfies. The security guard announced that right before she came out.
I really dislike the Nederlander "stage door". They don't have a stage door entrance -- it's one of the normal exits they
I was lucky enough to win the lottery to Saturday night's show. The seat was in Mezz Right Row E near center aisle. I prefer being close but the seat was still a great view, no leg room though.
It was such a lovely evening. The show is very entertaining and Kristin was pure joy. It was my first time seeing her perform live and her voice is flawless. Definitely feeling "#blessed" haha! She is so charming and funny.
I loved this show and had a blast even if my sight line was blocked by a a woman who kept shifting her big head every 60 seconds, so I could only see half the show with a craned neck every. I thought the book was clever with some of the most clever jokes, and I equally loved the silly hijinks. I was pleased to find out after seeing it that it won Best Book.
Really sad to hear. I hope to catch it again before it leaves
Kitsune said: "I didn't necessarily think I would hate it, but I had no real expectations for Head Over Heels. I was mainly interested in seeing Taylor Iman Jones (Groundhog Day alum) and Jeremy Kushnier (who I had seen in touring productions as a teenager).
I know it's a polarizing show, but I fell in love. In between San Francisco and New York, I saw it seven times that year."
Ooh me too! I loved Head Over Heels and almost missed it! I had no int
OlBlueEyes said: "So I learned that Jeremy was a Sinatra/David Cassidy teen heartthrob, Maybe someone could help me here. He doesn't have Sinatra's voice or David Cassidy's pretty boy looks."
Is he a "teen heartthrob"? I expect most of his fans are in their early 20s to 30s (between TV and theater). Lots of people became fans after Newsies but I never saw it, and possibly Smash (never seen it either). Also I don't even know where t
I was going to say what BenjaminNicholas2 and broadfan327 just said. And I will say it still!
The New York Pops is the star of their shows, and a conductor is the lead of his/her orchestra, so that makes Steve Reineke a star of the Pops. He made sure we cheered loudly for the orchestra, deservedly so. A guest performer is a guest performer. What I see is a great rapport between the performer and the conductor, and somehow others interpret that differently, which is fine. You hear a pat
