I have some issues with Lea Michele, but she is talented. I would easily go see this show again for this duo, and they have amazing chemistry which would be incredible. Now I can't get this idea out of my head..

I think there is alot of possibility there. She has a gap in her Vegas residency from February to May of next year.. The producers could be waiting to see how she is in A Star Is Born but have given her a temporary offer. She could win three Oscars essentially, Score, Song and Actress. I would love for that

I appreciate that he mentions how Samantha Barks is recreating Julia Roberts' performance. Perhaps it was a directorial choice. But it made me wonder why I came
I don't know why people think that the Brooks Atkinson Theatre will be open come spring.. Waitress is still bringing in steady numbers and to my knowledge hasn't fell below $720K which is enough to cover the weekly running costs. Plus it has already recouped, I feel like it still has AT LEAST till the end of next year.
EDIT: I stand corrected, it seems like there have been a couple weeks where it went below that, however, not since last year. It's doing well.<

I find it funny how when she was announced there was so many people saying she was a terrible choice, and what were they thinking and now it all changed. I was, I think, the only person that said she WOULD be incredible. I love that she proved all of you wrong.

If you see a discount now, grab it. I doubt there will be discounts once it opens. A few of the songs could be better, but the ones that work REALLY work!"
THANK YOU. I was one of the few people that saw it in Chicago that said it was amazing, I am glad to hear that Andy is doing good work as
I saw this on Friday (June 29th) and I thought it was a hot mess. I had such high hopes for this show, and I can't say I was disappointed, I just expected more. Stephanie J Block was sensational, as expected, and the sweetest person I have ever met at the stage door besides Jackie Burns. Her "Believe" had me "Breaking Down" and sobbing in the audience. Micaela was good, and despite the negativity on this board, I thought that Teal Wicks was good also.
I would say My Fair lady and Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman was amazing in Chicago despite what the critics thought with some incredible performances from most of the cast (Aside from Kazee, but not that it's Karl, I suspect it will be better). I know that Pretty Woman has made some changes, and probably will continue to, but it is a must see.
