Profile for SisterGeorge

BroadwayRox3588 said: "Can I just take a minute to applaud Broadway Flash for fully embracing her (at least acc. to profile) role as the undisputed villain/antagonistof these boards? Call her annoying if you want, but she's fully leaned into that role, and every time people give her attention, she's gonna lean into it that much more. Now I personally would be fine with that, because I honestly think the banter is hilarious. But if you're less fine with it, just know that

Why wouldn't they? It's the exact same production a few months later.

Sorry, but yourpostis kind of "Broadway Flash" level dumb.

I hope that it will once again be adored because I haven't laughed this hard since the first time I saw Book of Mormon in previews, bu

I just watched her London Palladium concert on PBS and my excitement for this Gypsy, which was sky high, declined with every song she sang. Yes, her voice is as luscious and gorgeous as ever, but I'm having trouble imagining  it fitting the Gypsy score and character. (Part of the trouble,  I think, may have been the concert's musical direction which was for the most part so lethargic that it sucked the life out of most of the numbers she sang. I think the R&H select

Should also note that the Juneteenth holiday probably helped bring more people in (especially since it fell on a Wednesday and a lot of shows had two shows that day, so more people were probably able to see a matinee)."

I was in town last week looking to fill a last-minute matinee slot and while many of the shows I cons

That's another weird thing about this theater. At least when we saw the show (third preview) the merch was only in the lobby, which is several floors away from the auditorium, so not at all conducive to intermission impulse shopping, which is too bad because we were on such a high at the end of Act I that we would have  bought anything they offered. Then when we left at the end of

"Why do you people think Kelli, as wonderful as she can be in some roles, is chameleon enough of an actress to sell Sally? She is too, well, elegant isn't exactly the right word, but in that direction, for Sally. Her Babe in Pajama Game and Nellie in South Pacific didn't completely work because of of this. "

I so agree about Kelli's Babe and Nellie. The roles were sung beautifully, of course, but she was too reserved and, well, stiff. It wasn't u

As for musical theater snobs, I feel like that's practically in the job description of being a critic ;)"<

A major thank you to the Encores sound team and the extraordinary cast for allowing us to understand every single word in this nearly sung-through score. I saw 7 shows last weekend and the only other production that came close to achieving this increasingly rare feat was "Suffs."  A lot of the lyrics and dialogue in "Stereophonic" were impenetrable and, sadly, so were a number of the "Illinoise" songs that contained fuller orchestrations, alth

ADORED THIS SHOW (saw third preview) and also loved how much fun everyone (lots of black and brown young people) were having. I suspect many of them don't often get to see versions of themselves on a theater stage. One small quibble: [SPOILER ALERT Shouldn't Grizabella get transformed  into a glamour puss AFTER she rises up to wherever those steps take her instead of before?]

My seats in the second row directly opposite the end of the runaway (be

Mr. Wormwood said: "The Notebook is a great example of why the Tonys matter. If it had gotten a nomination for Best Musical and Water For Elephants hadn't, I'm guessing the situations would have been reversed. Of course there will always be shows that don't need the Tony recognition (BTTF, Gatsby) to have decent to good numbers, but for those "on the fence" shows, it can make a very big difference."

This year, though, there seem to be quite a fe
