I remember there was a thread about this, but I can't seem to find it. Considering many places have opened and closed since the pre-pandemic era, I'm curious to know about your favorite spots to visit before a show (apart from Sardi's, of course).

One of my go-to spots, Vodka Soda/Bottoms Up, sadly didn't survive the pandemic (RIP). Recently, I've been enjoying The Dickens on 8th Ave. It's a new gay bar/restaurant with a cute little rooftop, prompt service, and

This sums up 80 percent of Broadway Shows in one sentence. Our standards have dropped so low. I have been going to Broadway for 50 years."

I think they are banking on the fact that this is a classic to my fellow black people. the average black american grew up with The Wiz and doesnt know good theatre (no shade). They are counting on the fact that black

I do like that they made several jokes that “only” black people would understand - When the witch dies and they all get funeral airbrush shirts..or when the other witch starts melting and she says the water is ruining her silk press. I thought that was cute. Obviously not enough to save the show. I’m really mad at myself for spending over $100 on seats. This unfortunately can’t be fixed during previews no matter what they do. I wish that they would give the lion and sc

Saw it last night and thought it was cute. I had no idea Shoshanna was in this in her number in Act 2 got a standing ovation. The leading actress has a big career ahead of her - her voice is so light and beautiful.

1. The Fallin' "remix" or "reimagining" or whatever you want to call it is trash.
2. If you are going to make commentary about police brutality, race issues, etc..flush it out and commit to it. I love mu

I saw this show twice in previews and loved it. Not my favorite, but had such a good time. 
I went back and saw it again 2 weeks ago and I HATE ALL OF THE CHANGES that have been made. Not only that but Salisha as Snow White fell so flat. 

-At the end of act 1 the change from "were going on strike" to "we're going to Flatbush" was a dumb one. TOURISTS HAVE NO IDEA THAT FLATBUSH IS IN BROOKLYN.
-The 3 song doesnt fit
-Gimmie More feels

I hope, at the very least, they can get her to promote it on her Instagram. Even if it's just once, I think it would be huge. 

Midway through the show my friend turned to me and said "...who is that character saposta' be?" and I said "Clumsy. one of the dwarfs". and he said "...okay?". I think they can do a lot better at explaining that in Act 1 during the book club scene. I'm sure I can't be the only one who didn't understand
