Loved this the other night.  This play has truly aged like a fine wine.  The performances are across the board impeccable with Cynthia Nixon really walking away with the show.  June Squibb is pitch perfect and Danny Burstein will break your heart.  I was also impressed with Christopher Lowell in a challenging role.  I thought there was a bit of “uncanny valley” in his performance.  His voice and movement were very effective to me.  As a fan of hi

Agree with Kad.  Also, for the last decade or so, all of the best musicals were coming from Off-Broadway (Hamilton, Fun Home, DEH, The Band’s Visit, A Strange Loop, Kimberly Akimbo), but with the non-profits struggling since the pandemic, they’re really looking for musicals that already have investors attached who are willing to pour money into these projects/nonprofits.  It’s too expensive otherwise.  These organic Off-Broadway hits feel like a thing of

I’m definitely in the minority here, but I quite enjoyed this.  I think I was primed to like this—a casual fan of the play who enjoyed the LCT production a few years ago, but has no attachment to the source material.  It is certainly not perfect.  It’s a weird and quirky musical which we don’t see a lot of in this day and age.

The performances are incredible across the board with our Tony winners (Ghee and Kalukango) being wonderful as always. B Noel

“As for Director, people seem to be so focused on the Jamie Lloyd of it all, but for some reason the population on this board doesn't seem to understand that Sunset has been a very divisive production. Maybe Happy Ending has been much more universally beloved in the community. Could Jamie Lloyd win? Sure. But I fully expect Arden to walk away with it at this point."

THIS! I’m surprised how many people here are assuming Lloyd is the frontrunner/winner

I guess count me in the minority here, but I really enjoyed this. I’d seen the musical about a decade ago in Chicago and fell in love with it, but the person I went with knew nothing of the show. We both walked out gushing about this. 

Renée Reid was on for Ruth this evening and she was simply sensational—charming, funny, and a stunning voice. And she was completely off-book. Aisha Jackson was equally stellar and they were perfect foils for one another. The danc
