This could so great. Women is Losers is a strong, quirky, loving film and on screen could be a real spectacular.

THE NOTEBOOK Broadway Previews Apr 24
2024, 01:59:51 PM
Saw it last night and when I was awake, I enjoyed it fine. The first half of Act 1 is a real snoozefest for the most part, the songs were all variations on a very soft theme. That said, I did appreciate the music and lyrics that reflected Allie's mental state, whenever they showed up. As the action picked up, I started to enjoy it a bit more, and the acting was certainly lovely. (I will admit I spent part of Act 2 also wondering why Ryan chose this play - while he was great, he felt too t

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club Previews Apr 9

henrike said: "I caught the show tonight, and overall, it's solid. But given that Cabaret is produced everywhere (colleges, community, regional), it's been explored to death. And this production wasn't revelatory for someone who has seen multiple productions of it.
One thing must be said: Ato Blankson-Wood gives the most amateur acting I've seen in a principal role on Broadway.
His book scenes with Sally in act 2 were just truly awful. Basically

John Cardoza held at gunpoint, Michael Stuhlbarg attacked with a rock Apr 1

dramamama611 said: "Except the only reason we're hearing about them is because they are broadway actors. If they were regular Joe Shmoes, it's unlikely we would have known at all - or taken much notice except to think, tsk tsk."
I'm guessing you don't watch local news? Because lately it's been non-stop with attacks, shootings, stabbings, pushing, robbing, you name it. There's literally not enough airtime for it all.

Congestion pricing will destroy broadway Mar 26
2024, 01:18:02 PM
Considering the tolls just to get in and/or out of the city keep going up, adding that to the congestion pricing, higher pricing on everything in general, or the generally not feeling safe coming into the city any longer - there's a good chance the straw will break sooner rather than later.

Once. She's only done it once before. And unless I'm mistaken, her name made no difference at all for A Strange Loop.
Back in the day people did it before, but for example with Whoopi, I did

CBS Sunday Morning Did Not Ask Nicholas Sparks About Racist/Homophobic Comments Mar 18
2024, 01:42:46 PM
BETTY22 said: "CBS Sunday Morning is under the NEWSdivision at CBS - not the entertainment division.
Asking about racist remarks while promoting a color blind show is an important question.
Sparks might have had a great answer - I can't imagine what that would be, but he might have. Now we will never know."
Or maybe he's moved on and/or grown up because clearly he's fine with it.

Is Ben Platt Reopening The Palace theatre with a concert for his new Album? Mar 18
2024, 01:38:01 PM
"From Judy Garland and Harry Belafonte to Liza Minnelli and Elvis Presley, Broadway’s past and present will come together as Platt graces the stage, adding a new unforgettable chapter to the Palace’s storied legacy."
I can only hope that he sings mostly songs from those artists, because I think I've only heard one of his songs and it's not enough for me to buy a ticket.

Wow. Is that a typical lease term? 8 years, you're responsible for upkeep, and they can kick you out with little notice?
Explains a lot about the city's current lack of commercial tenants.

Aaron Tveit, Sutton Foster will next star in ‘Sweeney Todd' Feb 21
2024, 11:57:19 PM
Saw the show tonight. As I've mentioned before, I hated just about every comic bit of mugging that Groban and Ashford forced upon us. While a lot of it was sadly still there (bad director, bad) there was one saving grace...Sutton Foster.
Foster is unbelievable in this role. While that mugging is still there, I actually laughed more than I did the first time I saw the show. Her ability to ground anything she does so her actions just make sense? It's a powerful skill I wish they

By comparison, front row at Little Shop is going for over $300 with Darren and Evan.
On a related note, I know the front row can be a little problematic at some West End theatres - I think the Pinter is particularly bad - how is it at Duke of York's?
