I’ve seen so many different Emcee performances, mainly in the Mendes revival, and I think the two best interpretations of this song were by singers who act, Adam Pascal and Jon Secada. Although, this version is pretty terrific.

starlightexpress2 said: "I am also shocked. Genuinely one of the worst shows I have ever seen, but to be fair, I watched it in early previews."
And I thought it was one of the best and most enjoyable of the many Chicago tryouts I’ve seen. And for the most part, the critics agreed. I was thoroughly entertained and am looking forward to seeing it again.

But it drops off significantly after that - the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. previews have lots of availability. Maybe they are papering or holding back seats for the first show. Or maybe they have real reason to be optimistic.

TEETH Previews - New World Stages Nov 14
2024, 12:06:13 AM
Be warned if being in a "splash zone" is not your idea of entertainment. I saw the show's previous run and bought tickets to this run months ago, and there was no warning at the time of purchase about my front row seats being in the splash zone. I'm guessing that was added subsequently. I asked the box office if I could change my seats, since having fluids launched at me didn't seem like my kind of fun. They told me no - I had to keep the seats I purchased.&n

Her small, subtle acting choices for the role are incredible and watching her, if you haven’t seen her in a while, youquickly remember why she’s just one of the best we have and how lucky we are to have her back onstage. Sit as close as you can to bask in her glory (I say half joking)."
Jordan’s not lying. Saw this last night. Sherie is absolu

I love Grand Hotel (and have appeared in a local production). They presented it at Encores a few years back, and it was spectacular. I was really, really hoping it would transfer to Broadway.

Rocky Horror 2025 Revival Oct 17
2024, 01:24:02 PM
I think the show works best with a male-presenting actor in women’s clothing as Frank. Since the character is a “transvestite” not a drag queen or trans woman. I’m all on the Sydney James Harcourt bandwagon. I also think Ryan McCartan would be an excellent Brad, as he was in the Fox movie, and he would probably jump at the chance, since he often says it was his favorite role.

Broadway Bob* said: "The 2000 ROCKY HORROR revival, directed by Chris Ashley at the Circle in the Square, was one of my favorite things of all times! I first saw it as an audience member and then was lucky enough to get to usher for it for several months up until its first closing night (due to 9/11). Alas, I was out of town during the 6-week return so didn't get to witness the amazingness of Gilbert Gottfried (and the other guest stars) as the Narrator!!! I say just bring back t

Did we see the same show?Hunter's version was one of the worst things I ever saw. I didn't know Rocky could be so unsexy orunfunny. There is more to the show than just making fisting and jerk-off motions

Right, Philippe, who was tremendous. I wasn’t sold on the whole cast when they announced it, but wow, perfection, each and every one.

Just saw the first performance at the Kennedy Center. Disclaimer: I’ve always been a super fan of the show, but can also be quite critical of some of the productions I’ve seen. That said, I think this production is nearly perfect. The only thing keeping it from being perfect is that it’s not the original Broadway production. The cast was tremendous, and it was as fully staged as you’d expect from a show that might have sights set on a NY revival.

Doesn't the "In Memoriam" at the Tony Awards serve the same purpose, allow for more people to be honored, and provide an opportunity for more people to observe the tribute?

This tradition needs to be replaced by something else. Seems like every time we lose someone, there's controversy, emotions and arguments about who is deserving and how many theatres will participate. The fight over how to memorialize these artists is exhausting and completely takes attention away from remembering their contributions.
And how many people actually go to the Broadway district and observe the dimming vs. how many get involved in the demands and controversy?
