I sat house right in the back of the orchestra when I went, and both the view and sound were great.


MARJORIE PRIME Previews
 Jan 31 2026, 06:25:30 PM

I caught this on a whim this afternoon, and I’m so glad I did. This play wasn’t really on my radar, but with nothing else on the calendar this weekend, I decided to check it out.

The performances are remarkable, and I truly loved everyone in the four-person cast. The play itself is a very quiet yet thought-provoking look at aging, memory, and AI. It’s a tight, short piece that manages to say a lot without ever “beating” the audience over the head with its


Reworked American Psycho

I adored the Broadway production and saw it multiple times. Glad to hear the reworked production sounds good so far.


Have you ever seen a show before it goes to Broadway and feel…

On the contrary, I saw Hell's Kitchen at The Public and detested it so much that I refused to revisit it on Broadway. I don't think I missed anything...

If anyone’s there tonight, please report back!

I was there tonight. There was a tech hold about 30 seconds into the show. The opening music played, Williams rose out of the pit, stood there for ten seconds, and then there was about a five minute hold before the show resumed.

As for Betsy Wolfe… I&rsquo


BUG Reviews

The was a giant "meh" for me. The second act is definitely more interesting than the first. This is the first Tracy Letts play I've seen that I haven't really enjoyed. I typically love his work, but BUG just fell flat for me. I don't fault the cast, and Coon is terrific, but the play itself wasn't my cup of tea.

It sounds glorious! "Goodbye, My Love" and "Journey On" are both such great songs. God, I just love this show.

MAMMA MIA! 2025 Reviews
 Jan 3 2026, 05:51:36 AM

I caught this yesterday afternoon after seeing it earlier in its run back in August. I've always had a soft spot for Mamma Mia!, and it's very much a guilty pleasure show of mine.

Yesterday's matinee had a "weekday matinee after the holidays" energy to it. The cast seemed to be sleepwalking through the show, and I felt like I was watching "Mamma Mia! on Melatonin". Low energy and lots of marking going on from both principals and ensemble alike.

This thread has a lot of rules.


The Death of the Understudy Slip

I'm all for this. Seems like a good logistical and operational change for theatres.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't care for this one at all.


THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES To Close January 4, 2026
 Dec 5 2025, 11:02:36 PM

After missing Sherie during her scheduled performances due to a nasty cold, I was thrilled to finally catch her tonight. This was one performance I did not want to miss, and she absolutely delivered. Her acting and vocals are impeccable.

I’ll admit it.. I’m one of the few people who genuinely enjoys this show for the hot mess it unabashedly is. I liked Chenoweth’s performance in previews well enough, even if is just her classic, familiar schtick.

BEST (and worst) BROADWAY LISTS - 2025

So happy to see Ragtime showing up on so many lists.


Chess in February question (Understudies)
 Nov 29 2025, 01:13:49 PM

If I had to pick one of them to be out, I would go with Aaron Tveit. He is certainly giving a very solid performance, but I thought Nicholas Christopher and Lea Michele's performances were far superior.

Loved the Ragtime performance. I can't wait for the cast album!


THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES Reviews
 Nov 26 2025, 07:46:17 AM

I was supposed to see this last night, but had a terrible cold and couldn't go. I did get a ticket for next Wednesday night, though, and I can't wait to see what Sherie does with the role. These reports have me even more excited!


So 'witch' was worse, Redwood or Queen of Versailles?
 Nov 25 2025, 05:55:18 AM

Redwood definitely had a stronger score than Queen of Versailles. However, I had a much better time at Queen of Versailles than I did at Redwood...


RAGTIME 2025 Reviews
 Nov 23 2025, 05:28:33 AM

I saw this glorious production again for the second time yesterday afternoon. I took my mother (who had never seen it and went in blind). She fell in love and "didn't want it to end".

What is happening on the stage of the Beaumont right now is VERY special. Lear DeBessonet's direction really allows the story and characters to be the star. With a show like Ragtime, this is a very effective decision. Visual spectacle is not needed when the the story itself is so intense
