Aaron Tveit, Sutton Foster will next star in ‘Sweeney Todd' May 5
2024, 12:13:43 PM
This production never really "clicked" for me. I saw all 3 pairings (Groban/Ashford, Christopher/DeWaal, Tveit/Foster). I think my biggest issue with this production is the direction, or lack thereof, and the unnecessary choreography and movement.
Also, while it was indeed a treat to have the score played by such a large orchestra, the atrocious sound design detracted from what should have been a powerful and lush acoustic experience. I did love the set and lighting design, t

This is a bummer. I thought this was a really beautiful production and show. Glad I got to see it at least.

HEART OF ROCK & ROLL - $69/$49 Flash Sale May 3
2024, 08:39:14 AM
I saw this last night and had a really great time. It's just a fun and cute show. In a season with so many heavy shows, it's nice to have a show that's pure fun. The show doesn't try to be anything it's not - it's silly and inane, but it fully embraces that. Super talented cast as well.

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews Apr 29
2024, 04:09:11 PM
I loved this production, but the lack of the (expected) critical praise and the likely impending shutouts are not going to be conducive to a "decades"-long run... The shelf like of most musical revivals these days is 1-2 years if they're lucky.

Such a clever, quirky, and melancholically sweet show. Glad I got to see it three times on Broadway.

ILLINOISE Reviews Apr 27
2024, 05:29:45 PM
What a truly beautiful piece of theatre. I think I felt every emotion under the sun in the course of the 90 minute run time. After an overstuffed season with a lot of ho-hum shows, Illinoise a breath of fresh air.
Ricky Ubeda as Henry and Ben Cook are both doing tremendous work, and I hope both of them get the Tony nods they so deserve. The vocalists sing beautifully. The lighting design is exquisite - some of the best lighting I’ve seen on Broadway in a while. The simple set ser

Leave the Light On and My Days - The Notebook
Woman Is - Lempicka
Also, as much as I did not like Hell's Kitchen, I won't deny that Kaleidoscope is an absolute bop.

HELL'S KITCHEN Reviews Apr 21
2024, 08:47:08 AM
I don't remember the last season in which there has been this much of a dichotomy between my thoughts and the critics' thoughts. I saw this Off-Broadway and thought it was truly terrible. For this and Water for Elephants to get critic's pick seals but for Suffs not to... To each their own, I guess.

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club Previews Apr 20
2024, 09:05:31 AM
I absolutely loved this. The Sam Mendes revival remount in 2014 with Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams is one of my all time favorite theatre experiences I have ever had. I was a little wary going into this new Cabaret last night. I was doubtful Rebecca Frecknall's direction could touch Mendes'. While her production may not necessarily be BETTER, I certainly do think it is as good and a fresh new and very creative take on a beloved classic.
Eddie Redmayne's Emcee is t

I would love nothing more than for Bebe to win for featured actress. It's a truly heart-wrenching and beautiful performance.

Fingers crossed for some great reviews! I really loved this. Biggest surprise of the season for me thus far.

SUFFS Previews Apr 16
2024, 11:23:11 PM
Well, I’ll eat my hat! Sometimes I love it when my preconceived notions about a show are dead wrong. After seeing the three or so songs the show did with Playbill a few weeks ago, I pretty much wrote Suffs off as “not for me”. However, after reading the thoughts on here, I decided to check this out for myself, and I’m so glad I did.
First things first, the horse now has a head! It’s gold and looks pretty cool. The show itself is just so SOLID. The cast, th

THE WIZ Opening Night Critics’ Reviews Apr 16

I'm expecting praise for the performances, especially the vocals. Everything else, particularly the lack of decent and strong design elements, will probably not be well received.

While far from perfect, I definitely enjoyed this more than most folks on here. Curious to see what the reviews are tonight, but I have a feeling that will be negative with a few mixed if they're lucky.
