JSquared2 said: "You seem to have a personal beef with her --- were you a backup dancer that "aged out"?"

No? I legitimately said where she excels. It is not a secret that she is not a strong singer and not a strong actress. These are not controversial statements, it's all very well known.

EricMontreal22 said: "" It's because that's been J Lo's career. Vastly outsized desires to her ability."

How DARE an actress desire to stardom. I still haven't seen the movie but doesn't this describe the character--a B level movie star who never got beyond those movies?"

Umm... No? You never see Ingrid Luna, you just see the characters she plays. She is not a character, her characters are the character.

Again."

J Lo's wants always far exceed her ability to actually be a contender. 

MimiChika said: "The movie cost 35 million. Are you implying they produced to movie to be a flop? They wanted the movie to be a hit. Duh"

Nobody wants a flop, but you post as though it entertains you that it's not doing well. There is a difference. 

MimiChika said: "biggest flop ever"

There are actually much bigger flops, I'm not sure why some people need to be hyperbolic about this movie as if it was ever intended to be a big box office contender.

It's cringe, if we're judging it by genuine rock standards (how I weep for the poor drama boy playing this when the school bullies are around, thinking it won't sound like his other showtunes), but it's the musical equivalent of Joel Schumacher movie, which was pseudo-MTV, so probably right."

Well yeah, Lost Boys is camp. 

Cream Puff said: "Who cares about ballroom? This will bomb on broadway"

Go back to trying to sell tickets in the DMs. But not to me, please stop that. 

RUkiddingme said: "I enjoyed the show downtown. But Broadway?

Does anyone really see this being a hit with a mainstream audience 8 shows a week?"

Its a unique revival of one of the longest running shows in Broadway history. Shows have been brought to Broadway with far less reason and cachet than that. So let it roll. Maybe it plays a few months, or maybe it runs a year or more. It's not my money, so I do not care.

Gimme the House Beats!"

I hope DJ Capital Kaos stays on because the incidental music during the ballroom categories were absolute fire."

He updated his story and it does not seem like he's going to be involved unfortunately :/

ColorTheHours048 said: "I love that Baby Byrne is such a theatre girlie. She’s apparently been auditioning for Broadway for quite some time, and she’s even a Giry/Carlotta cover in Masquerade according to her Cats bio. She was a major standout in the ensemble at PAC."

If you go back on her Instagram page to 2020 there's a video of her as Ursula in Little Mermaid and saying that "Oh one day, i hope ill be able to get back into theatre."

And look at her now!

I think it's genius. I love how she also has copies of the Evita and Phantom vinyls in the cart."

Its how the show opens. The DJ is going through Vinyls of ALW shows then pulls Cats, opens it, blows glitter of it and starts playing.

Gimme the House Beats!

I know I've decried Live Cast Recordings as cheap, but I feel this will be an instance where it would be a benefit.

Notably missing is Antwayn Hopper as Macavity, which isn’t super surprising."

I would say it is, when he left he was quite open on Insta that he would absolutely be back.
