I'm sure Travis Wall meant well, and his stock just sky-rocketed in response. In addition, I'm sure Nigel Lythgoe will be ALL over it tonight on SYTYCD.
Robert Fairchild (CATS promo) didn't do too bad either. It had social media exploitation all over it. To quote Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in MOMMIE DEAREST, "you wreak of it!"
And considering this whole thing started regarding a six-year old child, why

On the other hand, the housewives from Bravo seem to have no problem getting cast in Chicago. Of course, they are significantly more famous I suppose which may cancel out some of their misdeeds on television."
Calling all producers looking for a child who can cry on cue.

I’m getting CAROUSEL revival vibes from this production already...and not in a good way."
I really liked the CAROUSEL production last year. I didn't think that production was miscast (this production was able to get all 4 leads Tony nominated!) Peck's choreography was amazing too (won the Tony!)
I think the issue a lot of people had with Carousel was with the directi
The weeknight I saw it the run-time was 2:45 including intermission.
I also arrived at 7:30 and the line was wrapped around the block. If you want to be seated by 7:45 to take in the little pre-show, as well as take photos, I'd gauge your time accordingly. Enjoy!
I thought the whole enterprise was pretty spectacular given the nature of the show. The glitziest jukebox musical to beat all jukebox musicals.
I went in with the same mindset as another poster; I’d only seen the movie once when it originally opened. So my mind wasn’t going to the places where it might be when I see the version of Spielberg’s upcoming “West Side Story” remake. Different animals, but you catch my drift.

If they don't lose half of the television audience by then!
Considering O'Hara's raves tonight for "Kate," she's one step closer to taking that trophy from Block. Looks like Bleu and Styles may be in the running for the "Featured" category as well. And, it's most likely Carlyle for the "Choreography" win!
Thank you, Ben Brantley. That review was unmitigated perfection!
"For one thing, it is — by cold critical standards — the worst of the lot, with a repetitive score, painfully forced rhymes, cartoonish acting and a general approach that mistakes decibel level (literally and metaphorically) for emotional intensity. But this ostensible amateurishness may be exactly what sells “Be More Chill” to its young target audience.
For anyone that's seen in the show in the past couple of days--could you please post the running time including intermission? Just need an estimate of what time the show lets out (in evening). Thank you!
Of the two Rob's, I would have preferred Marshall over Ashford. Though I love the thought of Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) or Bradley Cooper eventually sneaking in there. I mean, why hire a choreographer/director when this musical calls for so little dance in the first place?
