Audra's performance schedule during holidays
 Dec 23 2024, 10:11:31 AM

tomwsjr said: "I know it’s cold and flu season, but Audra’s attendance record in musicals historically hasn’t been good. The producers must not be happy, cancelingthis soon in the run will prevent people from purchasing tickets in advance."

 

Sure it will.  
 

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for the company members out sick.

Based on show-score.com, this board and my own reaction to this show plus the anecdotes of others in this thread I believe that the noise around this production reflectssomething.

It works.  Audra is giving the best performance of the season.  A performance that might not be a carbon copy of itself every single night.

I’ve seen most of these: they were all better than tonight. I’ve never gone to an Audra performance and thought, she’s finding her way. I’ve seen her in an early previews of each of those shows and thought: she’s got it. Especially her Bess, which I saw her early o

End of act 1.

A very different Rose than Betty Buckely's steely and intimadating characterization at Paper Mill playhouse, Bernadette's sexy and vulnerable Rose, and Patti's bulldozer of a performance.  Audra is a very human, determined, driven Rose with layers of hurt that no doubt will be unmined as previews progress.

binau said: "I can I’m just saying the effect is it’s miserable so if you want to continue doing this feel free. Also, I can’t remember if it was you but I started posting AI screenshots to have an objective observer fact check some of the things I was posting. Just because you call it misinformation does not make it misinformation. This is just yet one of many reasons why the democrats lost hard - any criticism, any challenge and it’s always misinformation, sexism, racism or whatever name at the time. Meanwhile anyone with their mind open can see what is happening, can see that if you keep doing this it’s going to lead to the exact outcome you’re trying to avoid. And then watching people continue this behaviour as if they haven’t learned anything is of course something I will call out for your own good. It doesn’t work. It’s hurting your own cause."

Page Six has since pulled the following desperate misinformation from its site:

With that charisma, looks and talent this person will not be in the background for long. It was literally like watching something like Tom Holland on stage.

I got it too, but unfortunately wasn't moved by Scherzinger's histrionics.  

Despite many on this board and many critics heaping on the praise,  I didn't feel any true subtlety or nuance from her performance...simply an approximation of depth that felt to me like a sad, overdirected caricature.

This is truly only being talked about on Broadway related sites and message boards. The mainstream masses are clueless about any of this. I asked 5 entertainment industryfriends and they first, have no idea there’s a SUNSET BLVD revival on Broadway right now, and second, are totally unaware
