They made some joke that they finally got permission... They broke the 4th wall quite a bit.

There's not going to be a NY cast recording. Hopefully Lena Hall will release her own EP.

Yes Will was good, but I'm kind of pissed off I missed Andrew. Not that it is his fault, but I don't live in NYC, and I really wanted to see Andrew with Christina. Oh well...

Perhaps FUN Hot Mess is a fair description. Or Bombastic Rock Opera. The actors take everything extremely seriously, and to be honest with you that adds to the fun. People seeing the show the first time will have no idea what hit them. But the vocal performances, songs and atmosphere will linger with you. The show is a lot of fun and I still highly recommend it if you are into this sort of thing. Critics be damned. If not, stay away and let the rest of us enjoy it.

WldKingdomHM said: "Saw the matinee yesterday. Cast was amazing. Andrew is phenomenal, but they need to do something with the ensemble, andchoreography they were just awful. Act 2 dragggggssssss."
I agree that Act 2 drags a bit compared to Act 1. Act 1 is just more exciting and it is a long show. Act 2 though really shows off the vocal power of some of the stars. Some really great ballads in there. As for the cast, I think the entire cast including e
SouthernCakes said: "Honestly was surprised having now seen the show that he’s already called out. He has a ton of off stage time and I thought the main girl had a much more difficult role vocally but maybe Andrew brings more to the role than the understudy we saw.
According to cast members it wasn’t a planned call out. "
I am shocked Christina is doing every show (or trying to). Yes I would argue her role is just as difficult. Whil

Merchandise basically identical except a NY specific poster. Infact the professional programs (a great deal for $10) are the London ones with the London cast. They do give everyone a free Obsidean Times which has the NY cast in it.
SmoothLover said: "From what I have heard, fans of the music seem to enjoy the production and the sophisticated theatre types are more critical of the production values. There is a general sense that the show is about 20 minutes too long. There has also been a fan base that has seen multiple productions so they are making comparisons. My friend who works at City Center says there has been some walk outs with people grumbling while other patrons just love it. "
SouthernCakes said: "To those who have seen it before, what is the center circular platform used for? It looks like it’s a lift, but it’s never used and not sure why it would be there if wasn’t being used. Same for a large hook hangin from the lighting rig?
I didn’t think the motorcycle sequence worked at all. There was no sense of movement and the thing just folds apart and I had no clue it was blowing up.
Just got out of the Sunday PM show. Unfortunately, Andrew was out (I had a feeling this might happen with so many shows), but there is really nothing you can do to avoid this (until they publish a schedule). The backup was very good, but I can't help wishing I saw Andrew.
As for the rest of the cast, Christina Bennington is just simply amazing. I saw her in London, and I think she has gotten even better! And this without the regular Strat! Her voice is magnificent and her

Ridiculous. They are releasing tickets through July 2020. The show is going to be going for a while.
SouthernCakes said: "Sad we are getting such a watered down set. You’d think they’re just treat this as another tour stop but sounds like they’ve downsized the show. "
Probable, but it is possible some of the "effects" aren't ready yet?
Lot666 said: "V2David said: "I haven't seen Andrew yet as Strat, so hopefully he is performing."
Just curious - who did you see as Strat? I'm probably in the minority here, and I haven't actually seen the show yet, but what Ihave seen in clips of Mr. Polec does not impress me. Hopefully I'll appreciate him more when I actually see the show.

I'm going to the show Sunday night, so I will be sure to post some comments. I saw the show at the Dominion, so hopefully I can give you some good comparisons. I haven't seen Andrew yet as Strat, so hopefully he is performing. I'm looking forward to seeing Christina & Danielle again, as well as newcomer Lena Hall whom was a tremendous get. Looking forward to Sunday!! Hope some more fans buy some tickets though as the cast really feeds off the energy of the crowd.
Well, that is basically what they have already done. They have mixed in some new "classics" with some of the old classics in the movie to give it some fresh life. Some of the songs work splendidly, some not as much. But I'm sure it will get a younger generation more interested in the show (not just those who love the movie).
I'm still surprised there wasn't more changes made from Boston. Not that I didn't have a great time in Boston (and will be seeing it

Bowie as in "Heroes"? Or Bowie as in "Nature Boy"?
I saw the show in Boston and loved it. I just got some great seats for an October show, so I will be coming back to NY to see it again. I'm excited to see what they have changed.

If you are going to the show a 2nd time and only need a single seat, I would wait to purchase. I'm not sure what they are doing with the first 3 rows (are they even selling them or rush seats?) But I think you are going to be able to find an amazing seat for a ridiculous price if you only need 1 seat. At least that is what I would do...
