NEW YORK, NEW YORK On Broadway - P/reviews & News Thread
 Apr 19 2023, 12:05:31 PM

I went into the St. James Theatre wanting to love this and I can say I loved the performances by the two leads the most.  The dancing was wonderful, the tap scene was great, the Cuban story was touching, …but the one thing that bothered me the most was the violinist. The guy looks like he took some lessons but unfortunately the producers missed a mark here. There’s an opportunity to lift up a real musician, (in a story about MUSIC), they chose to lipsynch and have the poor g

You misapprehend "necessary." What the CDC (and science) have said is that the mask mandate is notepidemiologicallynecessary. In other words, that the health infrastructure is not challenged by the remaining cases. But that's not the calculus that applies to the mask mand

I was there last night and I enjoyed the show! I even got teary eyed at the end. 

Highlights for me include:  The opening train scene, the library dance scene, the big dance finale, and several other scenes with just Hugh and Sutton because I really liked their chemistry, they're both such great talented actors!

I sat far right Orch row Q just under the overhang and it wasn't a big deal, the tickets were only $199 when I bought them a few weeks ago,... there we

Patti was great, yes, but the highlight of the night, for me, was the male ensemble. Top highlights for me were "You could drive a person crazy", "Another hundred people", and "Getting married today".  ... and just getting to experience Patti sing "Ladies who lunch" and the multiple diva moments for her in the play were great!  

I'd love to see this with the understudy for Bobby because I didn't love Katrina in this, unfortunate


The Greatest Showman Broadway

it would be better as a touring arena show - think about a theatre in the round, three-ring-circus feeling, trapeze artists, with Hugh Jackman on the tour it would be hit, no?


What's the 1st show you're planning to see when the quarantine is over?

Whatever I can get cheap rush tickets to with friends: Wicked, Moulin Rouge, Mean Girls, WSS, Company, SIX, Girl from the North Country, Beetlejuice...

Surprised no one has thought of Pocahontas Jr yet. The  Native American curriculum in schools would tie in nicely with that show.

Has performing a number on the Tony telecast ever REALLY saved a struggling show?

Wait... Smokey Joe's Cafe...

Any others?

I heard that because of the mishap at the TONYs for Rock of Ages they saw sales bumps.  
 

 


What would you see if you had a time machine and tickets to 3 shows?

The Zigfield Follies and Midnight Frolic.

I'd love to see OBC of Oklahoma!

Tony Award - Best Musical

I remember getting in line at 7AM for tickets to an evening performance of Color Purple the day I saw FunHome’s Matinee. I just remember feeling so sad and depressed after leaving the theatre that day because of the story- which is probably exactly how you’re supposed to feel, idk. Then that same night, after seeing C


Tony Award - Best Musical

I disliked Fun Home and slept through ONCE. Both of those years there were much better shows and I think this year will be the same situation with TBV. 

 With Frozen and Mean Girls being assembled by the best of the best, how are we so sure that TBV is a lock for TONYs?

I'm surprised there isn't more Bonnie & Clyde in this thread, so here I go ruining that for you guys.  It's one of my favs.  

DYIN' AIN'T SO BAD - Bonnie & Clyde

YOU LOVE WHO YOU LOVE - Bonnie & Clyde

THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A DREAM - Bonnie & Clyde

Sara Bareilles to Play Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar Live! in Concert

I'm a fan of Luis Fonsi and had his greatest hits album on constant rotation when I was in college 10 years ago... pre-Despacito.  That being said I agree with you, that he is a weird choice for this. 

I guess they just want ratings? or a new audience?     

I still wish Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert were involved in this production somehow.  


ONCE ON THIS ISLAND (2017) Previews

GeorgeandDot said: "Overall, this really is a phenomenal show with some phenomenal performances and some phenomenal direction."

 

I saw this production and LOVED IT!  I went in without any expectations and loved the magic of it all.  

All I have to say is that the audience for this can't see it because the seats are too expensive.  


Home For The Holidays on Broadway
 Nov 21 2017, 12:51:36 PM

Saw this last night and wanted to sleep on it before i posted my thoughts. Here goes- Let's just say there are daily cabarets downtown at The Duplex, and at Don't Tell Mama, and even at Marie's Crisis that provide the same experience as Home for the Holidays usually for the price of 2 drinks.  

The more I think about it, the more I am sure you will have an amazing time just 22 blocks north of this at THE BEACON THEATER for Mariah Carey's Christma
