If Aaron had been full of wonder and excitement about entering the world of the Moulin Rouge we would have seen it more through his eyes. There is a rush and an all encompassing thrill when one embarks on a journey of that kind, in his case as a writer and a romantic. It was missing from his performance which harmed the emotional aspects. He was the protagonist after all. M

I thought the production was delightful and was surprised at how well the music was integrated given the various styles and years they were recorded. I thought Aaron was a bit stiff and seemed to be acting for the TV camera. The other major characters bordered on Musical Comedy Farce which felt appropriate. Aaron's work was too internal and did not play to the entire house. I was actually kind of surprised with his performance that seemed to be in the rehearsal process. I will say I have ways lo
I did want to mention, since this thread will be disappearing soon, that my friend who works at City Center said that the cast and producers have been super friendly to the City Center employees.

I do not know if they are doing it every day. If you are in the City Center area in the afternoons you might run across someone giving away tickets on 55th Street.
My neighbor said that her son was in the Times Square area and was offered free tickets to Bat Out Of Hell but he turned them down because of his work schedule.

I am surprised that theatres do not have recycling trash cans for paper inserts and playbills in the lobby. A friend of mine who works a front of the house position says that people are always handing her their programs as they leave for recycling. At first she would say we do not recycle but then patrons would become angry with her so she now just takes the programs and says thank you.

There had been rumors about this for some time so I am happy to see it all come to life. LCT gets points for doing something completely new. I love Lapine as a director and I think he has a strong sense of flair and fluidity. The only stumble I remember was the Moss Hart play which as ok. Harry must love the LCT family!
My friend who works at City Center said that Meatloaf was in row H on the center isle in the orchestra so Show Tunes R Us should not have been too far behind. Must have been a thrill for him as much as he was anticipating the show! They also had brought in some of the expensive motorcycle display outside of the theatre which was drawing quite a crowd.

I read an article about Mindhunter on Netflix with Mr. Groff and he said that the director asked him never to smile which really worked for his character. I loved season 2 BTW.
