One of the worst things I've ever seen on broadway, no exaggeration.  The cast, like others have said, is incredible.  All singing 10/10 and LOVED the Tin Man.  The voices in this show are all glorious.  But that said, the direction and choreography and production all are not up to par.  I found this production to be an insulting cash grab, instead of the full and thoughtful revival this show deserves.  The sets and costumes look like a high school production

The play is naturalistic, but the production offered a theatrical prism on the story that allowed an almost metaphysical construct, the piece's gritty details measured against a benevolent universe. Will be curious to see if that imagery is used here.

It's a beautiful,

I think people are annoyed when actors do this because if you can't do 8 shows a week, then Broadway isn't for you.  It's the Olympics of acting and there are literally 1000s of insanely talented people waiting in the wings so when someone is calling out left and right, for a role that isn't even that difficult vocally, it is bound to annoy some people.  If you are a legend playing a very difficult part (see Bernadette in Gypsy) then that is a different story.

Gutenberg is $650K!!?!? That is wild! I'm sure the two of them are mak

Gutenberg is $650K!!?!? That is wild!  I'm sure the two of them are making around 100k a week but where is the other $450K

I can't really blame her...good as she might have been in it, it would be yet another comparison to Chita, and anecdotally I know there are a lot of agents cautioning their clients on which projects to take if a show is solely relying on their star power to sell. Agents don't want their clients to be the face of a financial disaster that closes after 5 months. At best, Ariana&#
