The show has definitely gotten the Broadway upgrade. The money is literally on full display from the new sets, costumes, pyro, etc. 

The show feels more like something inspired by Great Gatsby than a direct adaptation. I really enjoyed the show at Paper Mill and had a very good time with the updated version on Saturday. Is it the best written musical of the season? No. Is it breaking new ground? No. But, it’s a damn good time. 

As stated by others, this s

I saw the show on Friday and had a ball!

This show had so many things going for it for me to enjoy it - from Corey Cott’s return to Broadway and several other cast members I’ve loved in other things to Huey’s music which I grew up listening to via my dad - but what a joy!

It’s giving Wedding Singer with a dash of Kinky Boots and a sprinkle of the essence of Rock of Ages without the crudity. 

Huey’s music works so well with th

I saw the show on Saturday evening and it was really fantastic. 

I had friends who showed up a little earlier than me who found out that Brody was out, but because I really wasn’t too familiar with the cast, it didn’t make a big difference to me. They held the house for a while presumably to give Trevor some time to work through some of the beats of things since he hadn’t had a rehearsal or put in yet. They let the audience in around 7:55-ish and the show started

I really love this show and I've been lucky enough to see it several times on Broadway and on the first national tour. It has just such a magic to it that continues to enchant audiences. I went to see it a few weeks ago on Broadway and the gentleman in front of me was having the time of his life and it made me just so happy.

Aladdin was one of the last shows I saw on Broadway the day before Broadway shutdown and during the shutdown, I would think of A Whole New World and the ly

I saw the show on Saturday night having never seen the film nor read the book and I really enjoyed it.

The story is compelling and kept me invested through out and curious as to what was to come next. I thought the book was done well and my only real issue was Act One was a long one and they kept almost faking out the audience with - THIS is the finale, nope - THIS.. nope, just kidding - THIS is.. almost the act finale. 

The music was very pretty and I would and definitely

I would say book your must see's in advance and leave the rest to rush/lottery. Also, definitely see if any shows are offering discount codes so you can book in advance and save. 

I have The Notebook and Water for Elephants next weekend that I bought via discount codes, then I have both The Great Gatsby and The Outsiders in April that I got via Audience Rewards with a mix of points and a discounted price. 

The only show I'm really excited to see but hav

To the folks asking about stage door: I went on Saturday matinee and several members of the cast (including Ben, Max, Eliseo, and Hannah) came out into the lobby area and stopped and signed/took photos with people. 

There was a talkback after the matinee with JRB and a bunch of the music team, and I noticed people lingering around attempting to catch him after. I left before the talkback ended, so not sure if he ended up coming out or not. 

I went into the

I saw the final matinee and echo a lot of the comments made here. 

I wasn't familiar with the Avett Brothers nor their music, but I'm a fan of Stark and John from their previous work. Both of them [along with Adrian] are superb and really elevate the material. 

The book needs a lot of work as stated here as there's many times during the 90 minutes where it dragged. I think the choice needs to be made to either attempt to streamline some of the plot or
