I'm a huge Phantom fan, but I can't muster up even the slightest bit of interest in this. Honestly, I'm more excited about the US tour that's launching in the fall!

There would have been absolutely no sane or logical reason to extend this a few more weeks. The fact that they ran as long as they did at such a loss is kind of surprising. I honestly thought they would have closed up a little sooner.

I ADORED Pamela I as Roxy. I thought she absolutely nailed the role. I agree with quizking's assessment on her chemistry with Lana Gordon and the realism she brought to the role. She was just a delight and brought some great energy to the show.

It may be that they just cannot logistically replicate what they're doing in London for Broadway. I wouldn't be surprised if DCFMA will be done differently if/when this transfers to Broadway.

Much like the spinning seats for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella in London were scrapped for the Broadway production as it just was not possible to pull off.

I think GIMMICK is still active on Telecharge.

I saw this back in previews with Eddie Redmayne and really loved it for the most part, but I never felt any need to go back. None of the replacement casts enticed me enough to make a return visit.

Evita is one of my all time favorite shows. This production sounds really cool - I'd love to see this come over to Broadway sooner rather than later!

I saw this (and liked it well enough from what I remember), but I completely forgot this show ever happened or existed until this thread came up.

I went last night for my final visit before the Tonys and before this closes next month. As always, it was astounding. Nicole did some added little vocal flourishes during "With One Look" that I loved.

I took my mom (it was her first time seeing it), and she also loved it. My mom is a casual theatregoer and just sees 1-2 shows a year, and I was not sure how she would like this, so I was delighted with her reaction!

I'm not sure what's going on or who is to "blame" here, but to have two leads calling out on a regular basis leaving ticket-buyers lucky if they manage to attend on a night when they're both actually performing is extremely problematic IMO. If they can't do the show time 8x a week, that is perfectly fine, but a transparent alternate schedule should be established and advertised to ticket-buyers at this point.

Finally got around to seeing this today - absolutely loved it. Everyone in the cast is turning in exceptional performances. The play is a full-fledged 3 hours, but the afternoon simply flew by. Riveting and captivating. This has my vote for best play no question. Just remarkable theatre.

I've said it before, but I will say it again... Lea Michele is going to sing the HELL out of "Nobody's Side"...

I have a few different friends who did the digital rush on TodayTix for Wednesday matinees when they were in town, and they all got through easily. Enjoy!

The following from Sunset Blvd...

• The Car Chase (opening credits) - this was just so cool - first time in the show we are introduced to the camerawork
• With One Look - especially the section when the orchestra swells when the lights hit Norma while the fog whirls around her... breathtaking
• Sunset Boulevard (title number) - just thrilling
• As If We Never Said Goodbye - goosebumps every damn time

I did not care for this. The entire affair is just LOUD. The acting, the writing, the effects... just outright sensory overload in every way under the sun. The second act is more enjoyable than the first, but overall this one is the very definition of theme park entertainment.
