2024 Tony Awards

Illinoise has just sold a ticket, that performance was STUNNING!!!

I'm in the minority, but I still cannot even construe what W4E is about. Is it an acrobatic spectacle? A heartbreaking romance? I still have no clue and I didn't really like the performance enough to put this on a "to watch in June" shortlist.


The 77th Annual TONY Awards Performances
 Jun 16 2024, 08:17:24 PM

Is it just me or the stage looks scarily cramped and small? It's 7-9 people wide, which is the same size as a high school theater? Their venues in years past had larger stages but no matter which presenter is on, they're getting off so quickly and all the props look large. Hopefully shows with smaller casts will look better on there?

The opening number is giving if "Hell's Kitchen" and "The Great Gatsby" had a child, but that child was Cabaret.. Not a fan.


Welch’s GATSBY to premiere in 2024 ART
 Jun 9 2024, 11:09:28 AM

Just saw the show last night and had to add my thoughts. I'll note that I saw it in the cheap row BB partial view seats and the only parts I missed were the rear of the staircase on the right staircase, which is where Gatsby and Daisy have an extended scene on the floor during Pouring Down. Speaking of, there was not a setlist change from the last iteration. 

The choreography was really the shining star of this piece, which I truly enjoyed. I'm a huge fan of great dancing


YES! BEN PLATT IS REOPENING THE PALACE!!
 May 26 2024, 01:16:23 AM

This is going to sound bizarre but I got my album very early as in a week plus and this is definitely not his best work. I wish he staged Reverie in this theater, it would've been perfect. The first half of the album is solid but all the songs past the title track (honeymind, I think that's track 9), is quite a doozy and repetitive. I'm a massive fan of Platt- hell, I have VIP for this and have been following him for years but it becomes the same style of "oh, I'm in


What is the worst production you have ever seen on Broadway? What is the worst show?

I'm stealing WormWood's scale:

Worst Show: Walking With Ghosts

Most Misguided: The Collaboration

Most Overrated: Shucked

I was just thinking of this! On a tour front, this productions set doesn't lend it to touring whatsoever. It's very chaotic and large and I'm not sure how well it could tour because of that. The demographics for this show are limited but interesting (LGBT women, art afficionados, tastemakers) which means it could have a healthy run in a place like Los Angeles

Adding my voice late in the run! 

Thought this was a very thought-provoking piece, with Amy's performance truly a highlight. I'm not familiar with the piece at all going in, however I felt Schreiber could have done more with his Flynn. He did amazing in some parts and not so amazing in others. Especially in the courtyard scene, he didn't feel as convincing as I feel he could've been. Maybe it was deliberate, not sure. Bernstine did well for her moment, but I a


THE GREAT GATSBY Broadway Previews
 Apr 16 2024, 12:36:24 AM

Ended up coming here for round two after seeing it off broadway on a student ticket! First of all, thank you to the box office for that wonderful seat: front orchestra row E for $25 at 4 pm is highway robbery for a show these days!

The changes to the first song didn't sit well with me, but honestly I forgot about them due to how stellar act two was. "Made to Last" was as stressful as I remember it being, "For Her" and its reprise are worth the $25 alone, and Sam


Just a thank you

Great to see some positivity here! Your name is totally one of the ones recognize, and your takes are always great from what I remember.

This board is really brilliant for moving shows onto my radar (or the opposite, but..) when they deserve the recognition! One of these days it would be so fun to have a swap meet or mass gathering of some kind. A group show viewing? In the end we are all here to share our love of Broadway, and this is the one site where the opinions feel "real&qu

I thought Pill was fine, I could not figure out what age her character was supposed to be, at times she seemed like a young teen, others mid twenties, and Anika Noni Rose, unfortunately, was the weakest of the night. Her character did not earn her moments and her performance didn’t leave much of an impact. For what should have felt like a pivotal character,

Went to see Uncle Vanya on a student ticket tonight (I'd like to give HUGE thumbs up for that box office operator who gave me row O seat 300's, that's the best view I've ever had on a student rush!) and I'm completely unfamiliar with Chekov but certainly enjoyed it. Sonya's actress was acting her HEART out on that stage, one of the best play performances I've seen this season outside of Appropriate. Carell does a great job of portraying a bitter Vanya, and com

I was here tonight! I think the runtime was great, and McAdams is a brilliant actress. I didn't understand the ending at all,

So we get to see Mary Jane center stage with this Buddhist religious leader (the title escapes me). She claims


STEREOPHONIC Previews

I'm so late but I think after having a good night rest to go over it in my head, I really enjoyed it. I feel like the first 30-40 minutes dragged, but after that it was very enjoyable. I was so invested in the relationships between all of the characters, and I found Peter's scene towards the end to be especially impactful and really tied up a lot of his relationships with others. Eli Gelb was Glover really stood out to me- he had great timing, and amazing expressions, and turned out t


Have you ever seen a musical on Broadway that didn't get a standing ovation?
 Mar 23 2024, 11:28:46 PM

I don't think there was a standing ovation for "Walking with Ghosts" the night I saw it. So many people were asleep, it was probably a comp night because even I had a comp,and it was a terrible and meandering show. I don't even remember the ONE MAN who was the main speaker's name. I think he was Irish and talking about his family but other than that it was so forgettable.


Bring Ryan Gosling to Broadway now!!
 Mar 11 2024, 11:57:18 AM

Just add him to Othello with Washington and Gyllenhal so that they can break house records night after night. That's the only way it should be done, while the hype AND the money are there. (sarcasm)


Michael R. Jackson & Anna K. Jacobs' TEETH Musical at Playwrights Horizons (Winter 2024)

I love your belief is Playwrights Horizon’s to do the right thing, but they didn’t. I’m a student who lost their $10-20 ticket due to the Teeth cancellations and was not automatically refunded- I had to request a refund or list a few dates I&rs


Rob Madge's MY SON'S A QUEER... not at the Lyceum February 2024
 Feb 7 2024, 10:49:38 PM

They should do what "Ain't No Mo" did and host one of those 1 day-only $20 rushes, I know they already did the lottery but if Madge really wants their broadway debut... 

Also, maybe they (Madge) should've considered mounting this as a week-long thing at another theater. Madge isn't a name in the United States, I've only ever heard of their work in the context of this dead on arrival (allegedly) show.


Show-Score Discontinuing Member Nights
 Feb 2 2024, 01:06:11 AM

I hope they just integrate Show-Score ratings into the TodayTix app, because I don't see any reason to review or use Show-score otherwise. The last show I saw as a member night was terrible honestly so maybe this is a blessing. I left at intermission because it was barely fit as a school production, nevermind an Off-Broadway production. TodayTix is annoying to use too so maybe they're a good pair or whatever.
