WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 20 2019, 11:49:38 AM



They have plenty of time still to work out all the kinks."

 

Wha???  Are they reimagining it?

 

 



WEST SIDE STORY (2019 Revival) Preview Thread  Dec 19 2019, 11:45:09 PM

Nothing done to this revival enriches, illuminates or entertains.

Feels like some community theatre "deconstruction" meant to mean something.

It doesn't.

Lots of talent on that stage - to no good purpose.

The video is intrusive, pointless and finally annoying.

The Tony is a fine talent but "Polack" he ain't.

The Maria has a fine voice.

The end.

Beetlejuice breaks Winter Garden Box Office Records  Dec 3 2019, 08:53:07 AM

VotePeron said: "The Music Man is going to break this record the first week it’s in the Winter Garden.

Beetlejuice is having the run I wish Spongebob had, and I’m interested to see how it plays out. A lot of shows choose to close out on top, and maybe the producers could pay the OBC cast to go out on a national tour next year.

And to add to the void, no amount of money Beetlejuice makes will ever convince me it’s a good show. Lots of similar me


Beetlejuice breaks Winter Garden Box Office Records  Dec 3 2019, 03:07:34 AM

I liked BEETLEJUICE far better than:
TOOTSIE
THE PROM
HADESTOWN
FROZEN
WAITRESS
KING KONG

It’s doing well at the Box Office because people like it and are recommending to others.

It’s called good word-of-mouth.




Where’s Stephen Bogardus these days?  Dec 3 2019, 01:07:10 AM

Just wondering...



Jagged Little Pill preview thread  Nov 30 2019, 06:03:34 PM

Did they include every song in the album?

Didnt need to hear all those angst-y anthems. Evan Hansen for drive time.

Really liked the choreo.

The lead girl was charmless and screamy. Felt like I was watching The Prom with less talented people.

Cast was rather charisma-free. Stanley was fine but unmemorable.

Better and rougher in Boston. Much too much navel gazing.

 

BTW:  no standing o for You Oughta Know.

Any good discount Ticket plans?  Oct 30 2019, 02:31:35 PM

Hmmm?  I would really like some advice.

 

Or is there already a thread?

Best touring production you have ever seen?  Oct 28 2019, 11:10:30 AM

In defense of Tootsie  Oct 21 2019, 10:48:32 PM

Apart from the totally forgettable music and insipid choreography and ugly sets and changing the milleu from TV to a stupid Broadway show, one of my big disappointments with TOOTSIE was in the character of Michael and the casting of the role.  Hoffman's Tootsie persona was the somewhat schlubby loser who becomes the butterfly while in successful drag.  That was a huge part of the fun of the movie.  Loser into winner.  Fontana is so strong and competent from the be

Really? It felt like an outline for a play, to me.

So many questions.



THE SOUND INSIDE Previews  Oct 18 2019, 10:28:41 PM

Well done but slight.

At these prices???



Soft Power Previews  Oct 17 2019, 11:05:46 PM

Percy Jackson at the Public.

Felt like children’s theatre to me. Everything spelled out in BIG strokes.

Yeah....WE GOT IT.

Abysmal.

 



Seared @ MCC  Oct 15 2019, 10:20:04 PM
I mean, it’s well done...but not very meaty.
Perhaps a bit half-baked?

Not much of a plot. Cranky chef gets his comeuppance. And that’s about it.

Esparza was his intense best but it would have been nice to have a quirkier presence. Joaquin Phoenix anyone? Krista Rodriguez was beguiling and very charming as a restaurant “fixer”.



Los Angeles TIMES - MUST READ  Oct 15 2019, 03:36:02 AM

I think every theatre has a hard time nowadays.

Sure, programming is one thing, but with ticket prices so high for everything, audiences are a LOT pickier. No matter what you have to offer, there’s only so much any one person can really afford.

Who is the understudy?

 

I'd love to see another take on the role.

No. I meant ending.

Prob wont be seeing the second half.
