I LOVED If/Then... I pretty much loathed everything about Redwood.

Redwood is indeed two hours with no intermission. That being said, it could EASILY be trimmed. Whether or not they choose to do that during previews remains to be seen.

I'd love to see Jessica Phillips, but I honestly just can't imagine sitting through this again.

EUREKA DAY Reviews - EXTENDED AGAIN! Feb 1
2025, 12:48:53 PM
I finally saw this last night and thought it was pretty damn great from beginning to end. It's quick, smart, funny, poignant, topical, and relevant. The performances are so well done. The comedic timing and line deliveries that each performer has are some of the best I've seen on Broadway in a while. The Zoom scene had me in stitches. Truly everything I look for in a play. If you haven't gone yet, RUN!

I had high hopes for this, and was genuinely excited going in. I am one of the few people who loved If/Then, and consider myself an Idina fan. That being said, I found Redwood to be a brutal two plus hour chore to sit through.
The first (noticeable) issue is the appallingly bad sound design. I could not make out about 75% of the lyrics in the opening number due to the sound mix and this weird “echo” effect I think they may have been trying to go for?

I will be there tomorrow evening. As a big Idina Menzel fan who even unabashedly loved If/Then, I'm super excited!

Cabaret seat choices Jan 18
2025, 03:52:52 PM
Cabaret uses SeatGeek for their ticketing (https://seatgeek.com/cabaret-at-the-kit-kat-club-tickets).
The August Wilson has pretty great sightlines in all areas from my experiences. I am usually a front mezzanine kind of person, but for Cabaret, I did enjoy being closer to the action in the orchestra. Hope you enjoy!

Bernadette Peters & Lea Salonga to Lead OLD FRIENDS On Broadway Jan 18

To be fair, I wouldn't really call that a "fiasco"... Don't get me wrong, I wasn't THRILLED about them joining that revival when the announcement dropped myself, but I do think they both gave respectable enough performances when I did go. Plus, it gave the show a few extra months on Broadway and the sales weren't terrible.

I thought Caroline Bowman killed it this afternoon. It was an extremely solid performance in every aspect - her voice is tremendous, and I had goosebumps quite a few times.
Caroline's approach was slightly less robotic/mechanical than Nicole's, so it was a little different in that regard. It was really cool see a new take on the role since I have only seen Nicole thus far (haven't seen Mandy). Both women are extremely talented beyond belief and bring a lot to the

Tony Awards Race - Audra vs. Nicole Edition Jan 11
2025, 12:15:16 PM
I thought both leading ladies were fantastic, but Nicole is giving one of those rare "once in a lifetime" performances that will stick with me forever. Therefore, she has the edge in my book.
I do think Jasmine Amy Rogers as Betty Boop could *maybe* be wildcard for the win...

I will be there! I've been waiting to see her tackle this role since she was first announced. I saw her in the tours of Evita and Frozen - she is a stunning performer with incredible vocal and acting chops. Can't wait!

BwayinVan said: "For those who have been I was wondering what would be a better seat. Front row of balcony or row E orchestra on the right partial view? Aviewfrommyseat says partial view missed some stuff at the back of the stage. Balcony just seems really far away based on pictures I’ve seen. Other options are last 2 rows of orchestra in right or 3rd row of mezz on left. With the seatgeek discount these are the only ones I can afford. The Canadian dollar exchange is killing my

Made a return visit last night to the house on Sunset (my 4th time seeing this production). I still can't get over the glorious symphonic sound of the orchestra backing the vocal pyrotechnics... It's truly just wave after wave of glorious sounds for 2 and a half hours.
Nicole continues to astound with her performance - the stamina and force she exudes nightly is not human. The fact that they are pulling off the act 2 opening night after night with such precision is ex

Has Grey henson missed any shows in Elf? Will Elf be returning in future seasons? Jan 2
2025, 06:25:02 AM
I caught this last night, and was shocked by just how much I enjoyed it. The entire cast is so great - Grey Henson's comedic timing and delivery are absolutely spot on. Kayla Davion and Ashley Brown's voices are stunning. The sleigh in the snow at the end is pure magic. Just a REALLY fun show from beginning to end. I am so glad I caught this before it closes this weekend!
