First-ever visit to the Lincoln Center Aug 5

The stairs at night leading up to LCT are all lit up. I like to check out the names sometimes, and it can be fun to photograph them with the fountain in the background with different apertures/ios settings to make really pretty lighting effects. The area is fabulous for photos in general.

I definitely have the Dogfight Off-Broadway Playbill and I know I have Rent from Off-Broadway, Merrily We Roll Along (Original cast), plus so many more. Also, after my mother passed away, I took possession of her Playbills and have many Broadway Playbills from the 1960s and 1950s such as Or

I may have missed the original threads on its opening and reviews (which is odd since I've been around these boards for a long time, first as a reader only, and then as a contributor), but it seems like this show keeps chugging along, but no one ever seems to talk much about it.
Is it a good show? And if it's a good enough show to keep it on Broadway, why don&#

There is always a part of the curtain calls for the orch, I'm not sure what else you think should happen. I have, however, noticed that people seem more in tune with the orchestra than they used to be."
Someone please tell me that they deliver snacks during intermission or have some sort of after-part-I and/or before-part II window for delivery, and that people aren't getting deliveries and eating during the show....

She could afford the taxi because Henry put a lot of money into her basket when she kicked it to him, saying, " 'ere, take the 'ole bloomin' basket for a sixpence!"
I was definitely thinking about "JCS" and considered including it as part of an "amazing but not even nominated" category. I could write pages and pages of analysis, but I wanted to keep this as brief as possible.
1949-1955 Best Musical winners did not have competition, so it didn't make sense to start there. I'm less familiar with the shows that did not win Best Musical in the following 20 years and didn't want to make false attributions.
I agree with you in terms of "labeling a show 'commercial' just because it's fun [and] has a poppy sound" as being derivative and inaccurate for the most part. I was more speaking in general terms, and I am not implying that if a show is based on a movie or is a "pop" or "rock" musical that I consider it artistically inferior to more "serious" or "original" fare.
Overall, I think it's pretty easy to distinguish wheth
Looking at some of the reactions on Facebook (Stans notwithstanding) to the 2018 sweep of "The Band's Visit," I noticed an overwhelming number of people make statements like, "they always choose the artsy show over the commercial stuff." I did a scant amount of research to determine the veracity of this statement. Here is what I discovered in terms of "Commercial" shows beating "Artsy" shows:

Carousel Rush Jun 13

So...has anyone rushed recently? Bonus points if you rush this coming weekend and report back on whether the Tony wins impacted the rush situation.
I'm late to the party on this one, but I watched the production over the weekend. I didn't buy the recording yet, and am trying to decide whether to do so since I can watch the production for free any time with DVR. I'm especially interested in whether ALL the tracks--the Pilate tracks in particular--were recorded in the studio. It would deter me from buying the album if I knew that the vocal blowout after the flogging scene was in it. Thank you!
I am not going to weigh in on this debate - but to answer your question, kdogg36, Prior calls himself "Stereotypical" in the scene in which Hannah asks him if he's a "typical homosexual."

Oh, that Whoozis...whatever happened to her?

"Bernada Alba" by LaChiusa; "Caroline or Change" by Tesori (lyrics by Tony Kushner)
I have nothing to add to this since I haven't seen the play, but I just want to thank jb89 for their thorough and very helpful reply to OP's question. It's posts like that that make this board so special--theater fans just helping each other. :)

Except for the very last scene in Perestroika. For me, it was worth 8 hours of screeching and camp to "come down" for that last monologue, as the house lights go up. When Prior says to the audience, "You are fabulous
