Moulin Rouge **Pre-Show Spoiler Request**  Aug 22 2019, 09:11:14 PM

The Play That Goes Wrong had a great pre-show routine as well, both on stage and through the theater. Funny enough it confused a lot of people.



Hadestown Tour  Aug 13 2019, 02:09:08 PM
I absolutely LOVE Hadestown and it was by far my favorite musical since CFA.

I am very skeptical of how it will your given the stage mechanics and lighting. The Broadway lighting for this was imo the best I’ve ever seen.


In Search of Comedies  Aug 10 2019, 09:14:42 PM

The Play That Goes Wrong could work. Set doesn’t have to be too large - you could work around the upstairs tilted comedy scene no problem imo.



Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 8/4/19  Aug 5 2019, 03:52:21 PM
Moulin Rouge set a Hirschfeld box office record.

Not surprising but still.


Favorite Broadway Theaters  Aug 3 2019, 10:17:25 PM

Studio 54 should be imploded. 

The redesigned Hayes is lovely imo. I equally love the Booth and, while many here won’t agree I’m sure, find the Music Box a nice place to catch a show.

The Hudson is great too but the top balcony can feel far from what I’ve heard (never sat up there myself).



Is Tootsie Closing Next?  Jul 18 2019, 01:25:08 PM

IdinaBellFoster said: "I think they'd be smart to hang on for a bit. There's so much closing, they're bound to get some of that business. They need a new marketing push."

The show also needs a new book and score imo  



Favorite Plays?  Jun 30 2019, 06:47:51 PM

My all-time favorite is God of Carnage. I think it’s a brilliant look into social dynamics. 

Other tip-top plays include:

Glass Menagerie

Ferryman

Sweat

Bear

View From A Bridge

i have never seen Rumors or Pillowman - I’ve only been able to be close to NY for 11 years. I’d love either to be revived.



What were your biggest theatrical disappointments of the season...  Jun 10 2019, 02:25:34 PM
Burn This - I expected it to be entertaining but it was a very big MEH. It just ... ended. No chemistry between Kerri and Adam was a big factor.

And Tootsie. The more I think about it the more I hate it.


Best/worst stage door experience?  May 14 2019, 08:56:32 PM

We don’t stage door often,  it a few stand out.

Best was Sweat. Allison Wright came out and chatted for about 15 minutes - The Americans had just ended and she was talking about her role. There were maybe 10 people out there. 

Worst was this past weekend with Burn This. Driver fans were just rude. 

 



Tough time deciding on plays, need help!  May 14 2019, 08:46:44 PM

Seen them all too.

Constitution is the clear winner and it’s not a close race. It’s the best play this year not named The Ferryman.

Driver gives a strong performance but Burn This is booooooooring and there is no connection between Russell and him. 



Hadestown Reviews  May 11 2019, 03:25:35 PM
I’m here now and it’s intermission. Jessie Shelton is on for Eva and is doing a fantastic job. First time seeing it so nothing to compare to however.

Kiss Me Kate LOVE  Apr 19 2019, 06:17:17 PM

EllieRose2 said: "I love this production too, I think of it often. I am still hoping for a cast recording."

They announced today it’s getting one!



What The Constitution Means To Me Broadway Reviews  Apr 10 2019, 10:42:21 PM

Saw this Sunday and it was the best show of our weekend (much better than Tootsie and Ink). In fact, I’d rank plays this year like:

1) The Ferryman 

2) What The Constitution... 

3) TKAM

4) Network (just cause Cranston, without him it’d be behind Ink)

5) Ink 

Its a show that imo every U.S.resident should have to watch. Heidi makes you feel like you’re having a personal conversation with just you and her.

INK Previews  Apr 9 2019, 09:31:20 AM

SuzieM said: "I'm so excited to see Jonny Lee Miller in this! Can someone tell me a little more about the language and themes in Ink? I'm trying to decide if I should bringmy young teen. Thanks!"

Lots of F-bombs and the entire last 30 percent focused on taking a photo of a topless woman. 

I didn’t come across any “worse” than any other show and What The Constitution Means to Me is more graphic. 



TOOTSIE the Musical: PREVIEWS START  Apr 7 2019, 11:56:41 AM
Caught the matinee yesterday. I don’t love the movie and don’t find it all that funny fwiw.

This was an enjoyable show but I’ll forget it in a few days. It’s funny but most the jokes are easy and set up, no thinking went into them.

It’s good and this might sound more negative than I mean. We paid $99 with a code and I felt the value was fine. The guy in front paid $279 and if I were him I’d be pissed.


INK Previews  Apr 7 2019, 11:14:20 AM
Saw Ink yesterday evening. My wife and I are both journalists so this should be set on a few type of play for us to love.

It wasn’t.

The best part is the set itself and Miller. Everything else left me cold and aloof. And the dancing and singing between scene is terrible - just cut that and make this 30 minutes shorter and it’d be much more enjoyable.

It was not a bad show, just a show that can’t seem to get out of its own way.


What The Constitution Means To Me Broadway Reviews  Apr 1 2019, 12:53:30 PM
Seeing this Sunday afternoon and am more excited for it than Tootsie or Ink (seeing those Saturday)

TOOTSIE the Musical: PREVIEWS START  Mar 25 2019, 09:08:16 PM

We see this next Saturday - I eagerly await first words! We see Ink that Saturday night - kind of a funny ying-yang thing there!



Two show days: what do you do in between them?  Mar 24 2019, 12:11:01 PM

JBroadway said: "If you're looking fora more restful option, I recommend hanging out in the Signature Center on 42nd and 10th Ave. It's further away than, say, the Mariott, but it's a more welcoming environment. (recently,the Mariott has become increasingly unaccommodating to people hanging out in the lobby - not that they kick people out, but they got rid of some of the comfy chairs, and covered up the electricaloutlets).

So yeah, for me - Signature Center is

Thanks all! I totally forgot Hudson Yard had opened.
