Congrats to everyone at Moulin Rouge...well-deserved!

Because NY theater-goers are truly special people.

Would be quite ironic if most of the shows left standing are the ones that the NY community spent years shunning.

A little "back-to-normal" reading distraction for this crazy week:

Guardian calls it an "empty pop spectacle":

Sure.

Imagine how many more times you would have seen it if you liked the show.

Wouldn't a "global phenomenon" be at 100% attendance and gross potential? 

Gotta say, the album reeled me in but don't think it was worth what I paid for. Certainly enjoyable, but would have gotten my money's worth if this was a $50 ticket at some venue downtown...or a 54 Below type set-up.

I know it's network TV but I would have loved to see them do the whole opening number...gotta win that lottery soon!

Ok guys, let's help him out and brainstorm some better options  

Even though it wouldn't explain the point of the post, I have to believe he's not being serious. But if you are dude, then just get her a pair of Can-Can seats and figure out a Plan B. 

So sad...

Moulin Rouge is a must-see. About adding Jagged Little Pill...if you're a big Alanis fan you may be disappointed. 

After seeing their performances on different TV shows, I'm inclined to think Hadestown would be at the bottom of my list.

No 'Blocking' pretty please! #TeamLeavel

Me either."

Same here (as one of the only 2-3 people on the planet who didn't like it lol). 

This was heartbreaking. I waited, and waited (and waited) for this show and was expecting it to be this epic masterpiece, but it just didn't do it for me. Agree the album deserves better. Oh well, let's see what happens at Tina...

If it's in your budget, Moulin Rouge all the way!!!

I know. Too many fun pop songs. How awful. They should have cut out some of the hits and sprinkled in some forgettable original tunes. This is Broadway, after all.
