Jagged Little Pill preview thread  Nov 30 2019, 08:26:23 PM

YvanEhtNioj said: "So I just left the show.

Honestly, I disagree with almost everything negative that has been said. I don’t think the set is loud, I don’t think it feels “cheap” to where it brings don’t the show, and I don’t think the songs feel shoehorned in.

I don’t mind all the social issues being in one show. Yes, it’s heavy but I think it works for THIS show because her music itself is heavy.

The Inheritance - Previews  Oct 6 2019, 01:28:41 PM

Saw the play last night (thank you TDF, row C Side Front Mezz. :) My partner and I liked it a great deal and surprisingly didn't find the length taxing at all. That said I will quote George S. Kaufman, "Nothing in life should be longer than 2 hours." Okay, make that 2:55 because after the 3 hour mark a broadway show goes into golden overtime which makes the weekly running costs significantly higher. No doubt some plays require that but I'm not sure that this is one of t

Hugh Jackman in The Music Man  Sep 13 2019, 02:45:23 PM

I translate this as the Winter Garden is set but out of consideration for Beetlejuice the Shuberts don't want the announcement. I'd expect the layout on Telecharge to be the Winter Garden.



MOULIN ROUGE Cast Recording Out Today! - Thoughts  Sep 1 2019, 05:05:31 PM

BEST WORKOUT PLAYLIST EVER!!!!! I just finished my 4 mile jog and every track  works for me....not so much in the theatre when I saw it last month. I think one just has to give in to the excess and go along for the ride. That’s what all those civilians are doing who have been selling it out each night. It’s over-baked but a great recipe if you just leave your critical eye home. In the words of one of the few pop musical legends not represented onstage. LET

Moulin Rouge Previews  Jul 23 2019, 12:52:17 PM

Saw the show last night and I agree with many posters here that it is elaborate and exciting fun. The cast was strong and the complaints about the final sequences didn't seem evident to me. It played out quite well. I found the second act to be stronger as they tried to motivate the story with pathos while most of the first act felt like a song list of musical numbers. The audience laughed quite a bit at the many song references but as presented here how could they not? It was o

TOOTSIE Reviews  Apr 24 2019, 01:46:01 AM

I caught the final preview and was pleasantly surprised at the wit and sheer energy of the production. My biggest quibble was with the ending. This production sets the show today on broadway and for the most part the adaptation lands but somehow for the ending it feels as if they reverted back to the 1982 film. I was a bit confused. Did he actually quit the show which apparently was still running when he and Julie meet which was the context of the final scene in the film. Could this show

Moulin Rouge Discount Code  Apr 22 2019, 12:07:29 AM

Does one exist? Does anyone think these crazy prices for the show might actually land somewhere in the realm of normal? Any info would be appreciated. 



Lehman Trilogy-will it be extended  Apr 1 2019, 11:32:06 PM

I just came back from the show this evening. It’s an extraordinary piece of theatre although it goes a bit too long. It really didn’t need to be 31/2 hours. Wonderful design as well. This four week run is just a brief stop before opening in the West End so I do not think there will be a way to extend.  It would work in any large proscenium house though so perhaps one day in a galaxy far away..............



re: Circle in the Square Theatre school  Mar 25 2019, 03:54:06 PM

I went there as well in the mid 70’s. Along with Madeleine and Nicos I also adored working with Jacqueline Brooks and Terry Hayden. I attended Jackie’s memorial at Circle and was so moved by the experience. 



RIP Albert Finney  Feb 8 2019, 11:54:33 PM

Back in High School I saw his performance in Joe Egg. It was a riveting performance of a man child who just couldn’t rise to the responsibility of coparenting this child. I’ll never forget his tear stained eyes as he walked away. He had the unique ability of making you sympathize with a character that you just shouldn’t like. A unique presence onstage and onscreen. He was an original artist. 



Network (post opening)  Dec 22 2018, 12:25:18 AM

So not sure where to post this so I thought I'd start a new thread. Actually, it might make sense to begin a new thread for a show post opening for further discussion. Anyone agree?

Saw it tonight and really enjoyed it. I found the mixed media approach to be very exciting and Cranston is nothing short of a force of nature. That central monologue was a lesson in an actor's craft. I was okay with most of the cast but do agree with other posters that Maslany was quite weak. I gues


THE CHER SHOW Reviews  Dec 15 2018, 01:07:17 AM

I just came back from tonight's performance. Stephanie is in good shape and gives a fine and powerful performance. Cant say I really liked the show because...well, the script is a bit of a mess. Yes, the costumes and choreography are fun and I wouldn't say that i was bored or didn't have a reasonably good time, but I just think that Cher's story isn't really all that interesting.

The script does feel like a Wikipedia event that really kind of glosses over her l


Stephanie J. Block OUT of Cher Show  Dec 13 2018, 02:28:42 PM

Any word if Stephanie is on for tonight? I have tickets for tomorrow and really don't want to see this without her. Does Ticketmaster accept exchanges/refunds if the star is out or do you have to do that only live at the box office? Could use some advise.  Thanks team  :)  



TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Previews  Nov 3 2018, 01:20:41 AM

I'm not seeing this production until mid January so I can't comment about what's currently onstage, but for those who don't feel it's appropriate to rethink Mockingbird, I urge you to read Go Set A Watchman, which is Harper Lee's original novel about Atticus and her adventures. It takes place as Scout is a grown woman working as a writer in New York City who goes back home to find out that much that she believed about Atticus is far from black and white. Calpurnia also

KING KONG - Previews  Oct 14 2018, 01:48:51 AM

I was there tonight (Saturday) as well. Of course KK is a genius creation and I felt that the set design and underscoring were really quite appropriate and exciting but as everyone has said the book and score were by turns adequate to atrocious. After three passes of creatives they settled for this mediocrity? I was most angry about the final moments.

The Official TDF Thread  Oct 12 2018, 11:57:09 PM

After a couple of hiccups I just got my order of The Waverly Gallery through the gauntlet to an actual purchase. Im not sure that they ever needed to update their site but I gather that it's designed to work better for them on the backend which would be a credible reason for the upgrade. It sure doesn't bring anything new to the table for the costumer. I'm willing to give them some slack for another week or so to work the kinks out. It's a great organization that through the y

As the show ends before 11pm (all evening curtains are 7pm, ending at 10:15pm), there is no union overtime incurred, correct?

I believe that the union rules about overtime extend past three hou


THE FERRYMAN Previews  Oct 6 2018, 05:21:54 PM

Saw this last night and although there is much to admire I found the 31/4 hour sit in the mezz of the Jacobs a bit of a chore. I kept on thinking that crossing over to union overtime seemed unnecessary for this production. Yes there is much to admire but it is indeed over baked and it could have benefited by cutting 20 minutes from the show. Certainly to reduce the running costs by many thousand of dollars per week. God bless TDF though. $45 per ticket makes it all so much better co

Cranston  Aug 8 2018, 03:26:03 PM

actually since the theatre needs renovation I'm gonna guess that they will rip the **** out of the stage and orchestra to accommodate the production. A theatre in a bit of disrepair might just make the production a bit "site specific."  Just my guess as to why they are taking this theatre for the run an not a larger one.  



Cher, Reba and Others For 2018 Kennedy Center Honors  Jul 25 2018, 01:57:15 PM

I'm sure that TV ratings are motivating this. Also, keep in mind that Hamilton is selling out in DC at the Opera House where the awards are being televised. It will be inexpensive to get the cast onstage to pull this off.

Sidebar here:  I often hear that older people get upset that Doris Day who is now 96 has never received this honor. The truth is that she has been asked countless times over the past 25 years but she refuses to show up for the telecast. The sam
