Which Death Becomes Her Is Better? Movie or Musical
 Jun 12 2025, 08:04:48 PM

The movie!! The Streep VS Hawn energy was iconic — Simard and Hilty could absolutely never!! Also, where was the glow-up / transformation with Hilty?? I could never get past this part to suspend disbelief. She started and ended the show the same damn way.

“Fogography” in SUNSET
 May 15 2025, 10:19:29 AM

I’ve been curious about how the fog / haze / mist / smoke effects are created during Nicole’s performances of “With One Look” and “As If We Never Said Goodbye.” Is it just a mix of lighting and fans? It’s honestly one of my favorite moments of the show—it perfectly captures that moody, atmospheric vibe and pairs so beautifully with her haunting vocals.

When Naz addresses the audience the lights go down and a spotlight follows him around the stage. This isn’t a true follow-spot, but a hung moving light. He moves around quite a bit and this light often didn’t keep up with him, leaving him in the dark for seconds at a time. My lighting design knowledge is 20 years old. What type of light is this an

I thoroughly enjoyed MHE, but I honestly have no idea why they pushed The Rainy Day We Met as the lead single in their current PR campaign. It’s easily one of the weakest songs in the show, IMO, and only really works within the context of the full production.

Correct — it’s a completely different type of show, and Dead Outlaw isn’t written in the same way to evoke that same deep, “lump in your throat” emotional response that The Band’s Visit did. It’s interesting you brought up pacing, though, because one of the more common criticisms of The Band’s Visit at the time was that people found it too slow and quiet.

The show is quirky, and has its moments, but is also poorly paced and lacks any kind of emotional pull. I heard similar lukewarm reactions fromother audience members leaving the theatre. This may just be one of those shows that is adored by critics but less so by mainstream audiences. Will be interesting to see how the box office f

Sunset Stunt

Canceling an entire performance, then having to deal with rebooking/refunds, for a “stunt” that could have gone horribly wrong? Nah.

Bwaygurl2 said: "Looking at several pictures on Reddit, I've never seen a set seem so "swallowed up" by the house it's in. It looks like a child's playhouse in a huge black box. And other Off-Broadway transfers don't feel that way. Performances and score are great."

If you’d actually seen it on Broadway instead of just relying on Reddit pics, you’d know the ‘black box’ transforms into something entirely different.&nbs

Caught the performance last night, and this show has only deepened and sharpened since its Off-Broadway run. People on here have questioned whether it’s “big enough” to hold a Broadway stage—I absolutely think it is, and then some. It delivers exactly what this season has been missing: guts, grit, and originality. The upgraded elements—the automated bandstand/train, the richer lighting design, and the expanded set pieces—give it just the right amount of the

Unfortunately, I don’t think having Jenn or Megan in would have elevated this material—it’s just that basic. Nearly three hours of them sc

Vanessa Williams is the weakest link in this show, followed very closely by Matt Henry. 


MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Original Broadway Cast Recording Thread

HeyMrMusic said: “The Rainy Day We Met” is an interesting choice to use as the pre-release single, but it is a meet-cute of sorts and shows off the two performers’ charms and also the exquisite orchestrations, which don’t get mentioned enough.”

What is the significance of this song in the context of this show? I thought the 2020 Original Korean Cast Recording had catchier more memorable songs…

 

 


Broadway week 2for1 Jan 21 - Feb 9
 Jan 8 2025, 05:29:11 PM

A majority of these codes (specifically telecharge) don’t seem to be valid for weekend performances, only offering Tues, Weds, and Thurs. So much for Broadway WEEK. Sigh. 

I think it must depend on the show. I got tickets to a Saturday night performance of DBH, although the weekend matinee performances seemed not to be discounted for Broadway week.

For those who have seen this, would you recommend seating in center orchestra B or center mezz B? For your information, I am 6’4 ", so high stages usually don’t bother me.
