OSCAR at The Crown |
The concept album is out. Listened to it. Not crazy about it but I feel it might work better live at the show. JMO

Curious to hear if anyone here has seen before I buy tickets.

I saw it a few months back and while the cast is great and the concept is very interesting (especially for someone so into reality shows/pop culture such as myself), it was sooo over-amplified that I couldn't understand most of the lyrics. The show is about 90% sung-through, so if you can't understand the lyrics, it's a problem.
Also its SRO and you will have to move around alone, so I don't know if that'll be an issue for you. The night I went it was pretty undersold, so we luckily had a lot of space to move around.
Yes, the acoustics of the room make it really hard to understand lyrics. But you get the idea, and it’s not Hamilton. It’s a f***ing blast - great choreo, fun atmosphere, and zany story that kept a smile on my face the whole time.
The show flies by, and I didn’t mind standing at all. The cast recording has been on repeat for weeks for me. For $18 on TodayTix, it was well worth the trip to BK.
