I just found this to be absolutely incredible. Everyone working on this is firing on all cylinders to create this very special evening of theatre. I laughed, I cried, I gasped. I truly believe this is one of the best plays of the decade. The writing is so incisive and interesting. There’s humor, longing, love, anger, and so much more baked into the language of this piece. And the cast takes on this challenge with such abandon. It is truly remark

Original movie musical EMILIA PEREZ starring Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, and Selena Gomez wins three prizes at Cannes Nov 2
2024, 11:12:50 AM
Saw this at NYFF a few weeks ago and thought it was pretty amazing. A very eclectic and bold film that won’t be everyone’s taste. Incredible performances all around—these three women are so insanely good. The Oscar is Zoe Saldaña’s to lose at this point, the best I’ve ever seen Selena, and Karla is remarkable. The music is also very good. See in a theatre if you can, but definitely check it out on Netflix in a couple weeks if

Great closing week for Illinoise. Honestly a very respectable run, especially for being a last-minute addition. I hope they decide to tour it in some capacity.

BrodyFosse123 said: "He’s now 33 and is from Branford, CT and pretty much a savvy entrepreneur. He started in the 4th grade producing plays as fundraisers for his friend suffering from ALD. These little plays gained popularity which prompted investors to future plays so he gained a reputation locally for years.
He was barely 20 when he fell in love with a shoestring regional theater production calledThe Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. To join the t

Sandra Oh, Paige Gilbert, Ann Harada & more to star in NA premiere of Lucy Kirkwood's THE WELKIN Jun 26

“It's anachronistic, including a BIG swing set piece in the second act that will definitely divide response.”
Not me expecting an actual big swing set piece and waiting with anticipation all of act 2 for something that never came.
If we’re talking about the same thing, I would definitely say it’s more of a bold choice than a set piece.

BEN PLATT: LIVE AT THE PALACE Threads Jun 8

Jcrispee2 said: "Question: about how long is Ben’s concert at the Palace? I see he has a Saturday 5pm show and wondering if I attended that concert, if I could also make an 8pm curtain to another show that same night?"
Yes. Ben Platt will get out at around 7 and you’ll have like an hour to grab a quick bite and head to your next show.

ILLINOISE Original Broadway Cast Recording Thread May 31

ACL2006 said: "What a gorgeous recording. Did they record this live? Several songs had applause."
It was recorded live during the last week at the Armory! So glad they recorded live, these musicians are so good live and it captures those arrangements and performances so well.

I thought this was a big misfire for Roundabout. The play feels extremely dated. With a script that is largely poetic, it lives or dies by its direction, which essentially is nonexistent. The staging is quite boring and the actors are playing at a 12 for the entire performance, which gets exhausting. I just don’t understand the reason for producing this right now with no stars.

HELL’S KITCHEN Original Broadway Cast Recording Thread May 14
2024, 09:55:15 AM
This will be interesting to hear. The best part of the show is the live vocal performances so I hope they don’t lose that on the cast album. I feel like a lot of cast recordings recently have been overly sanitized/produced to make everything sound “perfect” and as a result, they lose any sense of personality.
Either way, can’t wait to have a recording of the couple of new songs from the show.

Your Single Favorite 2024 Tony Nomination May 1

While it was widely predicted Sarah Pidgeon would get in, I was thrilled to see Juliana Canfield nominated as well. She gave an amazing performance and her scene with Sarah near the end was a highlight in a show filled with highlights.

HELL'S KITCHEN Reviews Apr 21

Really puzzling to me how so many of the reviews mention them fixing the show since the Public run, but a week ago when I went, the show seemed virtually unchanged.
Unless I missed something. Is it just me?

At least a pilot or flight attendant who will be gone a lot on overnights has steady work. A working artist's life – as we all know – is ten times harder and more stressful."
Not you defending the deadbeat dad 😂

Saw this last night after not caring much for it at the public, but was really taken with it last night. The whole thing felt much more focused than it was at the Public, which made the time fly by quickly. The material has a great forward momentum and urgency now.
The physical production leaves much to be desire, especially the lighting, choreography, and direction. I think the set might look better if the lighting design were better. Leigh Silverman’s d
