I was at today's matinee and absolutely loved it. All three actors are firing on all cylinders. Lange's silent scene is a smidge too long, but that's a very minor complaint. And the projected cockroaches are hysterical

Lincoln Center also hasn't announced anything and MTC hasn't announced their Winter show (which usually has similar dates to 2nd Stage's first show of the season)."
MTC's winter show is Eureka Day

Amy Ryan for Doubt. She took on one of the great roles in 21st century drama with a week's notice and was absolutely tremendous. Maybe not a perfect production, but that was a performance for the ages

Dylan Smith4 said: "Broadway Flash said: "They’re already practically sold out through September. All this promotion, I guess, is for future performances even when they’re gone?"
This show is not going anywhere any time soon. They are gonna do what they've done with the London production and rotate celebrities in the starring roles. With all the time spent reconfiguring this theatre, they are likely gonna run for a long time."

I was at today's matinee. I can't get over the fact that the show ends by cutting off Power of Love so the DeLorean can fly over the audience. That gives a pretty good idea of where its priorities lie.
The George McFly understudy was on and he was the highlight of the show, along with Jelani Remy as Goldie Wilson. Though it's not a great sign when two side characters have better songs than Marty and Doc Brown.
The scenic/video design was stellar and the show&

The same Ohio producer who mouthed off on Twitter during the run is now complaining that it was the "only" Broadway musical not nominated for Drama League. As the above count shows, that's not true.

It seems like for any show this year with a woman-led creativeteam that gets anything but raves, people have complained that the critics aren'tshowing proper appreciation for woman-directed and created work.

And this from Holdren:
"As the Emcee, Eddie Redmayne is on his own look-at-me planet. His singing voice never leaves a plugged-up, somewhat Muppet-y place somewhere behind his nose, and his physical palette is all coyly twirling fingers and hunched-up, leering Gollum poses. He’s clearly loving doing a voice, but his diction is a mess. Far too many of the razor-edged lyrics that come out of his mouth are nearly indecipherable."

I thought Jesse's "person next to you" line in Notebook would be my favorite quip of his this season, but there's some stiff competition in this review:
"The problem for me is that “Cabaret” has a distinctive profile already. The extreme one offered here frequently defaces it."
"But too often a misguided attempt to resuscitate the show breaks its ribs."
"The point of Sally, and of “Cabaret” mor
