To Kill a Mockingbird Rush  Sep 8 2019, 01:53:14 PM

I showed up around 10am today and was 8th in line, they offered a variety of options and I went with two Standing Room spots as I’ve heard they are preferable.  But they had partial view orchestra and balcony seats as well.



MOULIN ROUGE Cast Recording Out Today! - Thoughts  Aug 31 2019, 05:48:44 PM

EllieRose2 said: "For the record, ''Moulin Rouge!'' has earned Tveit some of the best reviews of his career. Ben Brantley of the N.Y. Times has raved that Christian is a role that Tveit was ''born to play.''

Exactly. People who are complainingabout one of the most beautiful voices on Broadway clearly are people who haven't seen the show or have terrible seats for sound lines when they see it.

Clearly I have


MOULIN ROUGE Cast Recording Out Today! - Thoughts  Aug 31 2019, 02:14:12 PM

Having not seen the show, Aaron sounds incredibly bland and terribly miscast as Christian on the album. Olive sounds terrific. I’m not sold on all the new music, and I will probably mostly stick to the movie album.



Alice Ripley to play 'Norma Desmond' in NSMT's "Sunset Blvd"  Aug 27 2019, 09:09:21 AM
Which is interesting, because as someone who has only seen that revival, I had no issue at all with the minimalist approach, as the show seemed more about the person playing Norma and it didn’t really matter what the set was in most scenes.

HADESTOWN cast album - thoughts?  Jul 26 2019, 12:05:59 PM

The lyric changes that bother me the most are the ones in His Kiss, the Riot, which has been one of my favorite tracks since the concept album. Having listened to the whole thing through now, it really is a beautiful album and overall I love what they did to expand and flesh out the show. I listened with my nice headphones and two tiny complaints I had at the end were the abrupt jump from Doubt Comes In to Road to Hell II and then I just wish they had let the final note of We Raise Our Cups p

HADESTOWN cast album - thoughts?  Jul 26 2019, 03:16:32 AM

This latest drop really ties it together for me. I’m a long time fan of the show, since the concept album and I couldn’t wait for this album after seeing it back in April, but I wasn’t loving the character drops. There were some good songs, but it just didn’t work as well in chunks, but I’m loving listening through it now. That being said, I do miss the live aspect from the NYTW album. There are also some rewrites for Broadway that I don’t love.



Harry Potter seating suggestions?  Jul 20 2019, 07:04:32 PM

Having sat in orchestra row N, I would say row O near the center would be a pretty great seat. You wouldn’t miss anything.



Hadestown Drop?  Jul 13 2019, 09:53:43 AM

schubox said: "I have not liked the cast album all that much. Seems like it’s a lot different than the show. Really lacks the energy "

I hate to say it, but I kind of agree. I’ve been holding judgement until we get the whole thing and I can listen through, but so far it’s been a bit disappointing. There is definitely an energy that is missing (one of the nice things about the live recording from NYTW was that energy).



Hadestown Drop?  Jul 12 2019, 06:53:35 PM
Yeah, i don’t understand what is happening. I preordered before the first release, and the first batch automatically downloaded for me. Then the Hades/Persephone drop did not download and didn’t give me any option to it just showed those tracks as available for purchase but “preordered”. Now in the past couple days about half of the Hades/Persephone tracks have randomly showed up on my phone but the other half still have the same issue. Meanwhile this latest drop doesn’t even show up as availabl

Hadestown Drop?  Jul 12 2019, 01:06:11 PM
The official playlist on Spotify is finally updated.

HADESTOWN - which songs?  Jul 11 2019, 12:17:44 AM

Kate Monster3 said: "I believe the nextCharacter Drop ofHermes, the Fates, and the Workers Chorus is this Friday. Any ideas what songs we'll be getting this time around?"

Just looking at the track list and the artists listed for each track, one can make an educated guess that we will probably get:

Road to Hell

A Gathering Storm

Chant

Way Down Hadestown II

Nothing Changes

Word to the Wise

Doubt Comes In

Maaaa


no character drop songs?  Jun 30 2019, 11:16:28 AM
Yeah, I haven’t figured out how to get the new batch to download on my iTunes yet, which is annoying.

They are on Spotify and someone has made a playlist where they are putting all the tracks in order.


HADESTOWN - which songs?  Jun 28 2019, 11:40:52 AM

Well, the new songs are posted on iTunes, there are only about 5, but they won’t download with my preorder.



Amelie - Revised production in Germany  Jun 26 2019, 07:11:50 PM

DrowsyKaye said: "Thanks for all this, this is so wonderful!

Is anyone else having trouble listening to this on Spotify? Every time I try to play a track, it just...doesn't. Maybe it's just me...
"

I have the same issue, the album won’t play for me on Spotify.



HADESTOWN - which songs?  Jun 26 2019, 02:32:33 PM

I have to say, while some of the rewrites for Broadway I really like, I much prefer the previous “His Kiss, the Riot.” I am not a fan of the new lyrics in that one, and I think it lost a bit of its power because of them.



HADESTOWN - which songs?  Jun 25 2019, 03:19:04 PM
They only have one interaction in that song, which is a good interaction, but we will have to agree to disagree on it being the best part.

HADESTOWN - which songs?  Jun 25 2019, 02:27:10 PM
Yeah, Wait for Me II is certainly not a Hades/Persephone song, as much as I want that one to be released already.

Hadestown Rush/SRO Updates  Jun 23 2019, 09:24:24 AM
Jeez. So much for their not wanting people to line up in the middle of the night.

First Listen: Select songs from Hadestown cast album  Jun 10 2019, 10:57:55 AM
Correct. They are releasing batches of songs every couple of weeks and we will have it all by July 28th.
