It's usually best to talk it out privately with a loved one or therapist,channel those feelings into a project, or go sleep with someone you shouldn't.

Sometimes, instead of doing that, people write a longFacebook/Insta post about how much they hate their ex. While some readers will say "yes gurl drag him!", most

THAT is what the show will be remembered for."

I agree, and the fact that they discounted/papered tickets to many women who identify with or advocate for the gay LGBTQI-plus community, who were extremely vocal during certain scenes, may have tu

I disagree that Broadway is ruined forever. In regard to "gentle plays," I'm not quite sure what you mean with that description, but this season had a slew of good plays that were mostly well-received that I don't consider "brutish." Good theater is good theater regardless of where it plays. There is a niche for every style of production, and I don't find a dearth of Broadway shows to attend, also having attended theater since the 70s. Further, in tho

On another theater website, the producers are lamenting that 8 weeks of performances is not enough time to build word of mouth. Actually, there has been plenty of WOM, and for the most part, it wasn't very good. I imagine they'll be playing the victim today, complaining that no one gave them a chance, reviews were unfair, people don't want new or original musicals, and every other excus

For me, it was Dance of the Vampires. I was excited to see Michael Crawford's return to Broadway after Phantom. The critics butchered it, so I wasn't expecting too much. I caught a Saturday matinee, then met up with a friend for dinner and an evening show together. When we met, our exchange went something like this:

He: So, how was it?

Me: Well, the critics were wrong!

He: Really?

Me: Yes, they were too kind!

A runner up was The

I echo the question on comparing the two productions. I found the 90s revival to be a snoozefest - the guy sitting behind me said aloud, "This is Once Upon a Mistake," and I thought he was right. I didn't see the Encores production out

TaffyDavenport said: "Row B is a step up from row A, but row C is flat with row B, making row C the only row in the theatre with no rake, which can pose an issue with a blocked view if they're using row B, which was the first row forMy Fair Lady."

Thanks, Taffy. I was on the same level with the row in front of me (which was the first row) for MFL, so understandable, Row A was removed for the production. I always  try to sit several rows further

I think he has enough of a following from his Glee days that will help sustain the show for at least several months, and that he will probably attract enough tourists to get a show through a summer or in this case, the ho

The 1st row appears to be C. Am I going to wind up looking at actors shoes and not the play itself?"

I sat second row center orchestra (forget the row number) for My Fair Lady and found it to be a bit uncomfortable, more so

Same for me. I was in the queue and at 10:10 a.m., it said that it was my turn and I was being directed to the LCT member website. Then I got a message that my time expired, I had to get back in the queue. Now my estimated arrival time is 10:35. I've never had this problem on their website in the past. 

F/U: At 10:40, it was my turn once again, I was told I would be redirected soon, and then I was told my time expired. Andre Bishop can't retire fast enough!

Although I enjoyed the score to DoWaR, I didn't find it as lush as Piazza, and I wonder if the recent Encores production reminds people of the beauty of that score. It may be recent enough for voters to draw comparisons, although they should vote based on a score's own merits. As far as Guettel being royalty, the Rodgers family hasn't been a dominant force on Broadway in years. I don't think his DNA will be a factor if he wins.

I love the songs in Stereoph

I felt there was a sameness in having one dance number after another, with no connecting thread. I was bored before the 3rd act began. I may be incorrect, but I do remember 2 intermissions. I have to admit that I felt the same way about Jerome Robbin’s Broadway. Too much of a good thing."

I enjoyed the original production of  Dancin"
