Two Days, Five Slots, Six Shows. Which one goes? Nov 12
2024, 11:05:38 PM
I am going to be in nyc overnight later this month and while some shows are locked in, I now am struggling to decide on what the final slots should go to.
I basically am deciding between Maybe Happy Endings, Our Town (on stage seating - I like immersive seating like this) or Hills of California.
The following day I have Shit. Meets. Fan. Oh, Mary and Gypsy just for reference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TaffyDavenport said: "The show will need to have been seriously rewritten since the workshops for Karen to be considered a leading role. I don't even recall her having a solo number (maybe 1?), whereas Bella Coppola, as Chloe, had 2."
Well I really hope it's been rewritten because it was completely unbelievable how Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content

darquegk said: "I love Hunter Foster’s production at Bucks County: neither a wild out of the box take nor a faithful recreation of any of the past versions. Just a wild parade of numbers and gags both timely and classic."
Did we see the same show? Hunter's version was one of the worst things I ever saw. I didn't know Rocky could be so unsexy or unfunny. There is more to the show than just making fisting and jerk-off motions and wearing Amazon

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES musical will have pre-Bway tryout this summer in Boston Jul 23

"There’s something else that didn’t sit well with me and curious if others feel the same way"
Jordan, That's how I left the show feeling; I just wanted nothing good for her once that moment hit, and I had already been trying to hold back my biases, knowing their MAGA ties (another slight nod to her true character, other than Fox News on the TV, was her blatantly refusing to hug or touch the Black contestant in the Mrs. F

This would actually make me happy, as i'd much prefer Lena Hall over Lea in the role"
I would prefer the crusty fecal matter left in the wigs of glee over Lea in the role.

Dave Malloy's THREE HOUSES at Signature May 2
2024, 05:54:18 PM
I saw this last night, and I really had a lovely adventure. In terms of score, it was a mix of Ghost Quartet and the electronic elements of Great Comet. I think the show collectively was a cathartic release of emotion over the four years for everyone in the audience. I know I laughed, cried, and both dreaded and longed to once again live in isolation.
Annie Tippe's storytelling ability through direction is astounding, and I found myself falling deeper and deeper into a trance

How is Jinkx Monsoon as Audrey. Apr 11
2024, 02:13:24 PM
Put me in the LOVED her category. Little Shop is my favorite show, and I have had the opportunity to see the 80's off-Bway production as a child and many iterations since - including at Encores and three other times at the West Side Theater. I got to see Jinkx's first show and thought she was everything Tammy Blanchard wanted to be and more. Her Audrey was uniquely her own while still holding homage to the ultimate Audrey, Ellen Green. Her Somewhere That's Gr

I genuinely hope the mess of a human in the center of row F at Sunday, 3/3's 7:30 pm show learns how to behave in a theater. In the future, it would be greatly appreciated by everyone around you if you could not...
1 - Scream. Why were you screaming? It was obvious you were intoxicated but your volume was at 11 from the moment you sat down and was turned down to 10.5 when the show started but for the love of newborn baby Jesus shut the f- up no one needed you

Broadway should have higher standards than Lea.

White Girl in Danger Vs. Lea in Funny Girl Apr 1
2023, 09:29:23 PM
White girl in Danger was an absolute blast - plus, no one is threatening to defecate in the wigs of White Girl in Danger.
Be an ally to those who have been victims of abuse and don't support productions that glorify abusers.

Michael R. Jackson's new musical 'White Girl in Danger' to premiere Off-Broadway in March 2023 Mar 20
2023, 02:55:30 PM
I saw this over the weekend, and I absolutely loved every second. Bizzare and totally unhinged in the best possible way. I was terrified going in that I was going to be bored hearing it was over three hours but I was not ready for it to end. I loved the direction and choreo (although it still seemed a bit sloppy - but I think I saw the third performance so I completely understand why.) James Jackson's Clarence really was a standout to me, especially after seeing him in Loop.&n

I really find it interesting that standing up for victims of abuse is a controversial preference or anyone's values say they should align themselves with someone who has behaved the way Lea has with no real growth or repercussions.
Also very interesting how

It was 3 hours with one intermission, about an hour and 30 minutes in. I hope the run time will be cut down, as there were definitely line issues. We were told during a pre-show speech there was someone in the audience on book in case an actor needed a line - after all, we were at a preview, and "that was what we paid to see", and this person on book was taken advantage of. Even when lines were known, it seemed like they were being searched for - the pacing was off.

Saw the first benefit performance last night, and...eek. If anyone else sees this, I would love to know their thoughts/if it gets any better. It seemed like a strong cast, but it felt all over the place.
