THE LAST FIVE YEARS Reviews

I had not intended on seeing this, but I ended up having a free weekend and figured I’d catch this before it closes tomorrow.
This is probably one of the worst things I have seen on Broadway in quite some time. There are so many problems with every aspect of this production. The direction is borderline nonexistent and confusing.
Both Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren seem lost at sea. There is absolutely no chemistry between the two them. While Jonas’s voic

I think GIMMICK is still active on Telecharge.

Cabaret Casting Rumor: Orville Peck & Eva Noblezada

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.

Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025

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 saw the show in early April (deliberately chose a Tuesday night given the vocal demands of the role) and thought Audra McDonald has magnificent - compelling in every way. The excerpts in Ben Brantley’s New York Times story and the cast recording only affirmed my own response.

I saw this back in November in previews and really enjoyed it. I went recently for the first time since then, and I feel like I saw a completely different production than the one I saw last year…
Audra’s performance is noticeably (and radically) different than the performance I recall seeing a few months ago. The hysteria has been dialed up, and she seemed to be “blubbering” her way through the role. The Rose I saw Audra give last time was effective and powerfu

DEATH BECOMES HER Reviews

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.

PIRATES! THE PENZANCE MUSICAL Reviews

I’m a little late to the party with this one (and, in this case, I rather wish I just never bothered to show up to the party at all)…
This was absolutely torturous to sit through. Bafflingly inane, and not in a cute or charming way. I found the performances uniformly dull and phoned in. Honestly, just like bad community theatre charging Broadway prices.
Flimsy sets, paper thin orchestra, and tinny sound mix. I hate to be so negative, but this was just shockingly bad

Broadway Showstopper of the season?

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.

I saw the Broadway stint. Lazy and uninspired. The physical production was absolute crap. The vocals were great, but everything else was so disappointing.

I finally got around to seeing this last night, and I really enjoyed it quite a bit. Natalie Venetia Belcon is doing some marvelous work. I thought the set and lighting were both top notch and just beautiful to look at. The book is paper thin, but serviceable enough.
The audience was one of the worst I been a part of in years - texting, photo taking, phones going off, people getting up and down, constant chatting... The ushers were on it, but, man, they were up and down those aisl

Just got back from today's matinee. Nicole was firing on all cylinders this afternoon (even more so than usual). Out of the several times I've seen this, today was the best I've heard her sound on "As If We Never Said Goodbye" - she really just hit it out of the park. This is truly one of my favorite productions I've seen in quite some time, and I will definitely miss it when it closes in a few months.

I am really hoping Sunset Boulevard takes sound design - truly the *BEST* sound design I have ever heard in a Broadway theatre. Crystal clear, lush, and glorious - it's like having surround sound in your ears.
