LEFT ON TENTH Previews Oct 12

I…don’t even have words for what a turgid slog of an evening this was. It was like someone put the book and every Lifetime movie trope through an AI generator and just staged whatever came out. It’s really speaking to the quality of the piece that one of the few times I laughed was a throwaway line about the dog getting liver cancer.
Long backstory? Sure. Hacky monologuing? Throw it in. A gay best friend with HIV? Go for it. Cancer galore andhollow optimism? Che

Crazy to think that the website is still saying the show is 2:10 with a 10 minute intermission (a change from the original 2:00 with no intermission they originally had posted), and yet the last poster, even given the circumstances, was probably still in for a 2:40 show.

What are the OFF BROADWAY shows to see? Oct 9
2024, 08:47:35 AM
Definitely TEETH at New World Stages. I would also suggest DRAG: THE MUSICAL in the same complex (and you could in theory do a two show day).
TITANIQUE (if you haven’t seen it) and BIG GAY JAMBOREE are also solid choices and can be a good pairing (same writing team/humor level)

It’s a full setup though - which I haven’t seen at NWS before. Usually, its always been just free range on the sidewalk."
Were there a lot of people? Did they put up barricades? I've only seen a handful of shows at NWS and nothing I would have stage doored but I guess with Teeth as well, soon

I went last night on a rush ticket (rear orchestra O 104) and, while not perfect and in need of tightening, I’m hard pressed to think of a show that not only made me cackle like a fool, but was also surprisingly moving.
The plot basically starts as two rival drag clubs competing and struggling, and then it branches off into subplots of family conflict, finding yourself, and the external threat of gentrification. Yes, a bit unwieldy at times, but what I took away was that it borro

Okay, I see where I erred.
She was on the *original* version. Still, cool nonetheless

Someone posted this video online because they are reviving the Scrabble game show starting tonight and one of the contestants from the original version is none other than Carolee Carmello!

The case against Stereophonic Oct 3

Like imagine if Disney had been in the process of adapting James Cameron's TITANIC into a stage musical, or if Celine Dion and her reps had been working on a catalogue musical about her life? Both those things might have less value for the stage now that TITANIQUE exists and is showing no signs of stopping. I can't imagine any of those parties are thrilled with the show.
TITANIQUE has a whole page on their website enumerating the licensing of all the music they use in the show. On top of that, artists have had songs featured in sometimes 3-4 different musicals - it might dilute the song, but not necessarily the artist’s brand.

Any rumors about what production could be ready to replace "Water for Elephants" at the Imperial? Oct 3
2024, 11:12:57 AM
Definitely not Cheno’s musical. They made the decision to hold off until next season because of the stacked deck of female-led musicals this coming season. Many were hoping for Menzel/Cheno rematch.
I don’t think Groff has the ability to fill such a large house with a musical about a crooner from the Boomer era.
I’m guessing MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN IF GOOD AND EVIL

Rachel Christopher is a truly undersung talent, especially after her work in FOR COLORED GIRLS and JAJA’S AFRICAN HAIR BRAIDING. Good for her!!!

And can anyone comment on Job & Once Upon a Mattress locations? 2 priority shows before they close for me"
Stereophonic has popped up VERY sparingly - it did during previews and has for the occasional Wednesday matinee.

R&J is a HARD skip. It was indeed a Gen Z drama club nightmare with no coherent concept, obnoxious lighting, costumes straight out of a Fire Island circuit party (Romeo in a sheer mesh tank and glittering

R&J had them all in circulation and GUARDED. They were mixed up and they made sure everyone only got one. If you were looking for others, you should just check after the show
