SUFFS Opening Night Critics' Reviews  Apr 17 2024, 06:05:38 PM

I was never once bored but I do think the pacing in the middle of Act 2 slowed a bit - but that was during the first week of previews.  I have seen all the new musicals except heart of rock and roll and SUFFS by far was my favorite.  I have been humming the opening and closing songs ever since the performance I saw and cannot wait for the cast recording.  I hope their reviews are favorable.


Merrily We Roll Along -- End of June Scheduled Absences?  Apr 8 2024, 08:43:03 PM

Just please don’t have your heart set on Ms Mendez.  I saw the show in October and March and she had unplanned absences both times.  Disappointing.


APPROPRIATE Reviews  Apr 2 2024, 12:03:22 AM

I sat in Mezz E2 on Saturday.  Very happy with the view at the price I paid.

And the show was fantastic!

Well she is out tonight.  I am now 0 for 2 in getting to see her.

quizking101 said: "…anywho. I went again tonight as a guest of a press night attendee.

I stand by my original review for the most part.

The only differences were that Adam Jacobs and Christina Sajous were in the show tonight. Jacobs was vocally fantastic and definitely had good chemistry with Luff and command of his role.

However, Christine Sajous…yikes. I never expected someone who has done rock musicals before to be so middling. She se

Most of the performances on Kelly’s show are pre-tapes except for thr kellyoke at the beginning of each episode.

Cry-Baby

The ten of us in the Mezz didn’t stand.

MAMMA MIA! 25th Anniversary Tour recoups in 13 weeks  Mar 4 2024, 10:59:11 PM

The show is in my city this week - going on Sunday.  Really looking forward to this - haven't seen it since Broadway with Carolee Carmello as Donna.


Cole Escola is Mary Todd Lincoln in OH, MARY! Off-Broadway  Feb 6 2024, 12:08:50 AM

Can I make the 5 pm performance after seeing THE OUTSIDERS at the Jacobs?  I have high-tailed it after a musical down to Union Square for TITANIQUE with no problem.  Would this be similar?


Telecharge issues?  Jan 19 2024, 03:16:51 PM

StageJunkie2 said: "Sorry to report that the same issue continues. To their credit, Telecharge PM'd me shortly after my initial post, apologizing and acknowledging the problem they were having and that they were working on it. If I still wanted to buy the ticket to Stereophonic, I should call them. Didn't have time yesterday, so today I went back online to order it. Same dang error message. So I broke down and called them. Unfortunately, when trying to order the ticket and te


Lindsay Mendez in Merrily We Roll Along  Jan 14 2024, 01:50:07 PM

BernadetteJD said: "Honestly- I think it would just be nice for the show to post something on instagram of the schedule when/if they know. It would at least curtail expectations. All the interviews are the three of them; it’s clearly how the show is being marketed so I was a bit disappointed. Further, seems to happen at a fairly high %. Unfortunately, was just in town for weekend, booked these tickets back in March 2023 and don’t know if I’ll be able to come back to


Rob Madge's MY SON'S A QUEER... at the Lyceum February 2024  Jan 12 2024, 10:45:15 PM

Scarywarhol said: "MY SON'S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?)

Sounds like the title of a hokey off-Broadway musical comedy in like 1998.
"

All I can think of is Thenardier’s lyric from “Beggars at the Feast” at the end of Les Miz at the wedding:  “this one’s a queer but what can you do.”


Telecharge Website Update  Jan 9 2024, 05:47:47 PM

Broadway Bob* said: "Anyone else having trouble with TeleCharge today (1/9)? I haven't been able to get on it all day. Anyone know what's going on?"

Same - accessing this site today is a freaking mess.


West End Recommendation: THE LITTLE BIG THINGS  Jan 7 2024, 06:22:43 PM

The cast recording to this has dropped and I must say I am really enjoying it.  The score sounds like Dear Evan Hansen but that is not a negative to me - I enjoy the pop sound and the vocals here are pretty great, too .  Recommend you give it a listen.


Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know?  Dec 9 2023, 05:17:48 PM

I have heard rumblings the next Audrey could be Evan Rachel Wood.


New Musical HELL'S KITCHEN, Based on the Life of Alicia Keys, to Premiere This Year  Dec 8 2023, 09:27:57 PM

Got my ticket for the first preview - first time I have ever attended a first preview in my 30 years of Broadway theater going!


LCT's UNCLE VANYA will star Steve Carell, Alison Pill, William Jackson Harper, Alfred Molina and Anika Noni Rose  Dec 8 2023, 09:26:22 PM

What are the chances of an extension?  My spring trip ends on March 31 and then I will be coming back in the summer on either June 18 or 19 right after the currently scheduled closing on June 16.


The BWW Tech Support Thread  Oct 20 2023, 10:53:11 PM

Why can I not browse the message boards through the app on my iphone?  When I select a message to view in the app I am sent to Safari outisde the app.  I can still view news stories in the app - only message board posts take me out of the app.  Can I fix this?


JAJA'S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING Previews  Oct 15 2023, 12:30:18 PM

Can someone use spoiler tags and share the surprising development that occurs at the end of the show?
