I agree with you on all this ! I saw it last night, and really enjoyed it. I'll be honest, I was always so-so about the content of the show - but the actors and the direction delivered and really were able to show the subtle differences in each others journeys.
I loved the set, how the characters were still there - but not. It very cleverly done and I'd guess there isn't a bad seat i the house since most of the action is central. (though if someone
And No, I didn't see Noah. And I wasn't comparing Taylor to Ben, they are different - they play it different. My issue was simple - at the key point in the show where you have to go along with how Evan reconciles the lies, i want to feel the "break" so to speak. With Taylor, it felt the same as most of his other spotlight songs. So I felt it was flat. That's it.&
I got row B - at half the cost of face value, by buying two hours before show time. Seeing Taylor.
He was good, different but great. He is not at all trying to do Platt, which is nice. My only compliant was that his Words Fail fell a bit flat for me... but seeing that it was only his second show I don't doubt he will only get better.
haha thats what I was thinking. I came here just because I wanted to see how he did in his first performance. I love the show, and I wish them nothing but luck.
Will Roland broke Ben Platt. He made Ben laugh enough that Ben forgot his line. So there was a pause, a laugh, and Will threw in his line for him. But it was also more amped than usual today - the guys had a really, really good time doing it.
the great thing about nonsense like these businesses are doing, is the public's response. Just look at how everyone's become involved and now all the states are committing to the Paris accord. In this case, I expect that this is only giving the show more publicity than it had, AND it'll incent a lot of Trump-hating NYers to donate to the Public AND see the show. So hopefully our collective response does more than Delta or BOAs pulling out of their sponsorships. <
Hasn't she been blackballed by ALW for bailing from Cats ? I mean, there are people in some industries you can piss off, and some you can't. And in the musical world -I'd guess ALW is one you don't piss off.
That said, this is being produced by Marc Platt so maybe he doesn't care so much.
Ben Platt should be a lock for a roll though. I can definitely see that.
gotta believe you are hearing or making up the wrong things.
This guy has given every ounce of his body and soul to DEH, and logic dictates that he'll take a well deserved mental break after this. I could be wrong, but I'm willing to bet that his next move isn't another new show ASAP.
They must be giving out a lot - because I won the matinee yesterday and someone I know from work won the evening show. And from this thread, it seems like everyone has won them :)
My guess is that he's gone in beginning of November.
What about his current understudy Colton Ryan ? My guess is that at some point, he's going to start going on somewhat regularly to help the show make a transition to a non-Ben Platt version. The show is bordering on dangerously dependent on one actor.
ProducersFan said: "Today's going to be a great day! "For Forever" sounds gorgeous - I can't stop listening! I'm bummed they left off the reprise of "Sincerely, Me". I guess I should have paid more attention to the track listing in iTunes, but I was surprised to see it omitted while listening through the whole album this morning. Is it due to the lyric at the beginning? Or just didn't fit the flow of the album? The way Connor's c
nonstopmachine said: "The only problem is the producer make the music too loud in mastering. It sounds no dynamic at all. It's a muical recording,not a rock albem. Why did they make it SO LOUD???"
Funny, I actually think that their voices come through better on the album than at the live show. I find the music to drown them out a bit there.

Other than that, I am loving Laciamore's production. The songs that have been released so far are so good!
I think they omitted that line maybe because they are still
