LEMPICKA Reviews  Apr 18 2024, 07:48:56 PM

Female critics reviewed this show, and didn't like it.

 

Stop trying to turn this show in to some kind of victim of evil men. Its clearly not a good show.

...sometimes things just get negative reviews.

We've become too reactionary.

You go "aw that's a shame" and keep moving like we have for DECADES.

It feels like people are more interested in hearing themselves talk and grandstanding when this is what it is. Sometimes shows get panned.

Broadway Flash said: "Well it’s a combination of things. She gave a whole speech about diversity when she won the Tony. The first person who played the role was white, and many have said did it better. I feel like it’s a trend now to cast black actors as the “liberal” character. Some like it hot, cabaret, lempicka, others. And the role she’s playing was a white woman who we see in the art.it can confuse people when you see the painting, and it’s a

I barely post here anymore, but all your jabs, everywhere about inclusive casting is so annoying.

If you don't agree with it, dont like it, think it's been forced, then cool, that's your opinion, it is VERY well known by now. So why not just focus your energy elsewhere? As somebody who works in theatre an


John Napier's Brilliant Set Designs for the original SUNSET BOULEVARD  Apr 10 2024, 11:57:07 PM

I watched this early in its run in London. The set was crazy, super impressive. I kinda hated Patti in the role but luckily got to watch it again on Broadway with Betty Buckley and loved it. A flawed musical for sure, but still impressive.


THE OUTSIDERS Broadway Previews  Apr 10 2024, 12:22:17 PM

CathyM3 said: "Reviews on The Outsidersare all over the place! The one consistent is people love the choreography and rain scene at the end, but seems that’s all there is. I see many saying the story is hard to follow and, with a few exceptions, the acting is “meh” at best. Some people take umbridge to the fact that Cherry, who plays a major role in PonyBoy’s growth, is sorely underdeveloped. I have also seen specificmention in a few posts about the a

That clip is awful.


Boy George in MR  Feb 7 2024, 02:19:19 PM

I find it disgusting they cast him.

I was a big fan and I love Taboo (though let's not pretend he was good in it) but this is a convicted felon who did something awful.


MEAN GIRLS Movie Musical - News & Discussion Thread  Jan 11 2024, 08:27:43 PM

I agree with the above, the life and character of these songs have had the life sucked from them. I think Apex Predator is a superb song, the dark tone, almost bond like (a running theme in the musical) is largely gone, apart from in When Someone Gets Hurt, we get a brief moment. 

The songs they kept for the film are good choices, but they are constantly tripped up by the generic sounding arrangements.
