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

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

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

There's no shortage of shows that want to come in this season or next, and also houses that they could go into, including the Winter Garden.What would be the point of k

Universal's WICKED Films - News & Discussion Thread Nov 18
2025, 05:07:00 AM
No spoilers, but I caught an early screening last night on a whim, and I was absolutely blown away. My only minor quibble is that neither of the two new songs are that great or even needed. They are both more QOV caliber than classic Schwartz. Besides that, I thought this was pretty damn perfect - a truly epic conclusion.

TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) Previews Nov 15

What an utterly charming gem of a show.
Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts are unbelievably winning. They had me completely wrapped up in their characters and the story from the very first moments. It certainly helps that they're working with such a strong book and score.
I also loved the design elements - simple, clever, and consistently effective.
In a season without a ton of excitement in the new musicals department, Two Strangers feels like a much-needed beacon o

After two weeks of having to log in multiple times a day, I now can’t even log in at all on my MacBook… this was has honestly been a really frustrating user experience. The browser and cache clearing is not solving the problem. (Posting this from the mobile app).

Just grabbed a ticket for this weekend using the TSBOX109 code - really looking forward to checking this one out. I thought I would get in before opening night reviews come out next week and potentially make this a harder to get and more expensive ticket.

I'm also getting repeatedly logged out. I'm having to log back in a few times day, and the toggle off the topic list in my account settings every time as I'm not a fan of that view.

I caught this tonight and found it to be a pretty messy evening. The production has one thing going for it, though… the performances are truly top notch.
The vocals are absolutely flawless, and the score sounds magnificent. It’s a treat to hear this score performed so well. Michele, Christopher, and Tveit all knock their songs right out of the park. Zero complaints there.
Unfortunately, that’s where my praise ends. The direction is absolutely abysmal and just

As someone who enjoyed the show, I am extremely disappointed to hear about the diary bit being cut. That was a crucial moment in showing Jackie's true character.

Samantha Barks sang the hell out of Florence in the 2022 concert in London... I know she's booked with Greatest Showman now, but I've always loved her, and it would be great to have her back on Broadway again at some point. Hard to believe her only Broadway credit to date is Pretty Woman!

marytylermoore said: "Uh, just about how the entire show portrayed her as a truly despicable person. The journal-publishing scene really drove that point home for me, personally.
Also, having Kristin framed not once but twice under the blade of a literal guillotine felt like a pretty obvious moment of this message. And also the scene where they graphically shoot the royal court of France/Marie Antoinette downstage as the completed mansion is revealed upstage.

It was 2 hours and 50 minutes on Saturday night.

I went into last night’s performance skeptical after reading the Boston reviews and the early Broadway preview reports this week. Maybe that worked in my favor, because I genuinely and unabashedly had a great time at this show.
The presentation and handling of the material are impressively sharp. These people are greedy and clueless, and the show doesn’t shy away from that. Their absurd, over-the-top lives are on full display in all their “glory.” The c
