I saw this for the second time last night. Loved it even more that I did the first time. Sat in the center of the third row of the front mezzanine, and the view was absolutely perfect. This is truly such a beautiful and unique show. I hope it has more life beyond Broadway - I'd love for more people to get the chance to experience this.
Side note: Did they do away with the journal Playbill inserts? They didn't seem to have them last night. I took my mom (her first time seeing it

SUNSET BLVD to transfer to Broadway

I would LOVE to see Caroline Bowman take on the role in any capacity. Having seen her in both the Evita and Frozen tours, I think she's a very powerful performer - a true triple threat.

STEREOPHONIC Opening Night Critics’ Reviews

I finally got around to this last night, and I really hate to say this... but I absolutely abhorred this. I thought it was slow, tedious, and extremely repetitive. The characters felt ambiguous, very thinly drawn, and unrelatable. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I left absolutely baffled by the heaps of praise and awards this has received.
This clearly was not for me by a long shot, and I definitely realize that I am in the extreme vast minority with my opinion,

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA musical headed to the UK and West End in 2024
Jul 7
2024, 03:46:00 PM
This was terrible in Chicago. Disheartened to see that they've kept so many of the same songs. Some songs were fine (Dress Your Way Up, Who's She, and the title song were all fun), but others (Bon Voyage, I Miss the Old You, and In Your Twenties) were baffling bad. Hopefully they've been heavily reworked... I do think that there IS a good musical in the story of The Devil Wears Prada, but it seems like creative teams might be having a hard time mining it out.

I do love Bartlett Sher. He's one of my favorite directors for the stage. However, he is the last person I would have thought of for a show like this...

This show is uproariously hilarious and clever. I laughed A LOT. This is the PERFECT show to escape the summer heat and the daily realities of the world.

Thanks for the heads up! Just snagged a rear orchestra ticket for Saturday evening. I can't wait to see this!

I hated the play when I saw it pre-pandemic. Pretentious beyond belief. I also find Jeremy O. Harris to be absolutely unbearable.

Faith Prince, perhaps?"
Faith Prince was a replacement in the 2012 revival (following Katie Finneran and Jane Lynch). Unfortunately, she was out the afternoon I went, though.

WOW - Kelli hit the nail on the head there... and so eloquently too. Her performance shattered me. As a 4+ sober alcoholic myself, I can testify that her performance was spot on and so visceral and real. A beautiful and heartbreaking performance that I won't forget.

The 77th Annual TONY Awards Performances
Jun 17
2024, 10:19:18 AM
Here are my thoughts on the performances...
-Cabaret - Pretty solid
-Hell's Kitchen - Ghastly... just like the show itself
-Illinoise - Absolutely beautiful, and made me want to revisit the show again
-Merrily We Roll Along - LOVED this production, but the Tonys performance was kinda "meh"... This show is kind of hard to showcase on an awards show, though
-The Outsiders - Pretty good, but a little choppy
-Stereophonic - A blink and you m
