Part of the success of these types of plays is the "energy in the room" factor and the fact that the originating actors are more connected with their characters than other actorswho take them on. They need to "open up" the play for film, otherwise most people will probably be bored."

When the truth about the Jussie Smollett case came to light, I remember the first few days many people like you shouting these words too;"victim-shaming and name-calling!". Luckily, they were soon put into place.
And that case is different, because 1. He admitted it. and 2. There will actually be a trial."

Especially since the musical is supposedly about the time in his life right before the first abuse allegations surfaced. I don't see that going over well.
TotallyEffed said: "Has anyone sat in the $40 partial view seats?"
Curious about this too. The stage looks very deep from social media photos, so I'm wondering just how much of the staging is missed. There's only one date I can go, and I really want to, but I'd rather have tickets beforehand than risk not getting one for rush.

I don't think this spot makes that clear at all. To me, it just looks like a spot a show would make to try to market an older musical to a younger audience, not ne

I submitted mine the day after the third preview, and I must not have been the only one who wrote that it was confusing since they're doing that insert now (which obviously isn't a solution, but it would have helped a little when I saw it).

Its fine you didnt get it/like it....but it hurts your point when your reasons are so Disney-attached."
My mention of Disney had absolutely nothing to do with why I personally didn't enjoy this show. My post mentions the multiple reasons why I didn't enjoy the show.I stated that this board tends to ske
RWPrincess said: "I also found it interesting that very few producers were listed in the Playbill for this. With all the Alice references, I would have thought some mention of Disney would have been there but I didn’t see anything. It’s possible maybe they just didn’t want their name mentioned publicly. I think they did something similar with Peter and the Starcatcher. "

This season is actually performing in an interim location about 2.5 miles from the train station on the Rutgers Cook Campus. There are directions on how to take the bus system from the train on their website, but it would pro

I was there tonight and will echo nearly everything VotePeron said. The "plot" is confusing, and yes, it kind of felt like you also needed to know the story of Alice by heart to really get what's going on. Shiek's music is truly gorgeous almost throughout, and there are some stunning sequences and performances, but it's pretty weak overall. Thank God for Noah Galvin and Natalie Walker, who embraced how bizarre this is and gave us some laughs.
Someone posted on the other thread that running time is 90 minutes without intermission.
ETA: I'm going tomorrow and just got a reminder email from MTC confirming that the running time is 90 minutes.

I mean... I think this is a pretty exciting team. And saying "from the creators of Next to Normal, If/Then, 13 Reasons Why, and Riverdale" will probably sell it.
