Thank you for the good news.

Have tickets for tonight 2/15/24.

Tues & Weds were cancelled.

Is the show on for today?

Thanks!

I went the final week at the Shubert: Los Angeles to see the show for the third time. There was an unusually long Cancellation Line that night. Turns out that was the day Dunaway was let go and there was a sudden demand for tickets before it closed.

So slow, Helen Keller could have run from it with no problem.

I saw it in LA and it is terrible. Only someone looking for a Tax Write-Off would invest in this mess.

Jayne Houdyshell as Mama Rose.

Nathan Lane as Herbie

I saw the 1984 production and remember it was exactly the same as the Broadway production but with more trained voices. I had already seen the original cast twice and this time around was my least favorite.

I looked up the second time NYOC did the show and was surprised Elaine Paige played Mrs. Lovett. Here's a clip of her "Best Pies in London."

I've seen THE BOOK OF MORMON 27 times. I paid full price 3 times and won the lottery 24 times. I live close to the theatre so it's nothing for me to go down for the drawing. There's only about 3 times where the show was off which was usually the fault of various understudies for the Elder Cunningham role I've seen. BOM isn't my favorite show, but it's a damn fine one and a fun, funny night at the theatre. Just hearing the audience react to it is worth it. 

The first thing I thought was the the transition in GYPSY from the younger to older performers. Even the movie and TV version use it it's so great. No special effects - just a simple strobe. Brilliant!

After tonight I promise you all I will never write another word on this site.

You are all so delicate I don't know how you get through a single day.

I don't want to be the one to set you off. I hope you only you have good experiences.

Bye people bye bye.

Never said that.

Said what a great idea and easily done.

Now unbunch your panties.

I knew this was all going to get me in trouble, but in that case "on stage" or "in real life" I'd ask myself - how did that happen? I am over myself, I have no pretences about life? But, I also believe in science and the truth? Yes, we suspend a great deal of reality for the theatre but that doesn't mean we turn stupid when we attend.

I noticed the two understudies for Alana in the Los Angeles production are black. They also are listed as understudies for Zoe. That would play well into Connor not liking her. She would have had to be adopted.

I think Evan as POC is a great idea and an easy one for the producers. It's a small cast to begin with and they'd only have to recast Evan and his mom Heidi.

I've seen THE BOOK OF MORMON - 28 times. I paid full price 4 times and won the lottery 24 times. I have a Playbill for each time. 95% the show is on, so I'm pretty much guaranteed a good time. I've become a pretty good judge of a BOM audience and they themselves can be quite the Rush!. Great Show!!!!!

I think Coleman will be her biggest competition not Close.

He's very good but don't see an Oscar. Nomination maybe

Mark it down now, Gaga WILL win the OSCAR for this role. She is magnificent. She not only hits every note, but then nails it to the f'###ng floor. #AMOVIESTARISBORN
