The Full Monty or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, so Yazbek can boast three shows on Broadway at one time.

Which role has the shortest on stage time? Oct 1 2018, 04:44:54 PM

The end of Blackbird has a character who isn't on stage for long.

Same with the little girl in The Rink.

BalconyClub, I appreciate your posts. We rarely get to hear what changes are made throughout previews in such detail. It's refreshing. There seems to be a lot of judgement passed onto you about you seeing this show multiple times. Yet, there are users who praise other users for attending other shows dozens of times.

Besides, this is a post about the Chicago tryout. What else are people expecting by coming to this post?

You could probably get an orchestra seat on TodayTix for $60. Mine was Row D Center.

Saw the show a second time tonight. And much as it breaks my heart to say, the balcony was barren this evening. This may be due to the weather, Metra trains and last week being the end of the subscribers.

But the show was great. I brought my friend and she loved it.

I still believe there should be a better “musical comedy” ending. Something more extraordinary.

I hope they do this theme more often.

I feel the same and fortunate that I get to take my friends to see this production.

John Adams said: "I hoping for another spoiler regarding the plot...

In the movie, Dorothy's success comes about because of one role, ina singular daytime drama, under a short-term contract. Michael panics when Dorothy's popularity with TV viewers creates an offer of a long-term contract that he can't get out of. He does not want to spend the rest of his career pretending to be a woman.

Why does Dorothy need to get into drag to get into a musical? Did he fail as a male singer but somehow the frock made the difference?

Confused---and does he do the Victor/Victoria reveal? Gasp!! Never seen that before."

He's told nobody will work with him because he's horrendous to work with. (We are shown this in the opening number) So he hears about

Also, restaurant reservations are a good idea. There's a lot of fast food around there, but the nicer places tend to fill right up.

I work across the street from the theater. I recommend Petterino's, it's Chicago's version of Sardi's. It's a couple blocks away, but quite del

I noticed that too and was struggling to read the other show panels. I saw one called "Rinse Repeat" and another one called "Iron Pier." Also noticed they were rehearsing the show at the New 42nd Street Studios, according to the vertical sign visible outside the window."

There was also "HE

Did you do lottery? We did, no problems getting tickets."

I snagged one via TodayTix! I got 4th row Center Orchestra for $59. Where were the lottery seats?

Also, how’s Yazbeck’s score?"

I enjoyed it! Woman on the Verge meets Full Monty. The song that Sarah Stiles has is VERY reminiscent of "Model Behavior" from Women on the Verge.

Julie Halston plays the Broadway producer and is a "Joan Rivers" type. She nails every single one of her one-liners.

There's quite a bit of physical comedy in the show, too. And design/directional wise, I couldn't say there was too much that stood out. Just the updated script. I'm seeing this again two weeks from today, so I'll check in if there are any drastic changes.
