I continue to be baffled by the marketing for this show. Photos -- one rather unflattering picture of Solea which is shocking because she's absolutely gorgeous -- that seem better fit for an American Eagle ad, a strange video of them sweating on the subway (no shame, this summer's been killer), and a title that is a nightmare for SEO.

An album is more likely than a transfer.

TheatreMonkey said: "Hot take: I don't get the outrage over the (assumed) non-casting of "unknowns" from the open auditions. This is a commercial, major Off-Broadway production -- not a summer camp production. They opened auditions for everyone, which is admirable, but still no guarantee any of those seen would land a role. And who's to say that the multitudes seen were better than everyone else, professional or otherwise, that auditioned? Many productions, on and off Broadway, hold open call...

An 18 year old from Bumf*ck, NJ that came out to the city just to audition for this and has only done high school theater is an unknown. Let's call this what it always was, those open auditions were a PR stunt."Ok

In the grand scheme of things, Amalia Yoo and Ryo Kamibayashi are both unknown. They have some decent credits but neither one of them is a marquee name.

Just need to jump in and echo the sentiments about Sherie's performance. She takes what is a small role on paper and turns it into something magnificent. She starts the show with such a specific and clear take on the material and pristine vocals, and it forces everyone who comes onstage after her to match that, which is something Juliette Lewis just was not able to do. I genuinely think Sherie has elevated the entire production just by being in it. It's a treat to watch her onstage, it always...

Saw the cast's first performance. Norbert, Amber, and Ben are the reason to see this cast. Norbert especially is just unbelievable. Amber was a bit tentative but has such warmth and energy and obviously incredible pipes. Ben Davis was sexy, charming, and you sensed a real connection between Persephone and Hades. Their chemistry was excellent. Kayko is charming and sweet, though, clearly not an actor. Still, you root for him and he is incredibly likable. Great voice. Jasmin Savoy Brown is a mi...

Yes, Jake's Audrey was Ellen Greene. I thought Betsy was quite good when I went during her first week, it was certainly a more subdued take but it worked for me. Nikki M. James was similarly sad, often at the expense of humor but it was heartbreaking to me. I think the production is pretty pitch perfect from start to finish and have revisited to see a number of the casts over the years. I think Ethan is exceptional.

Zane worked almost exclusively in regional theatre until he booked Fire Island at which point he pivoted to TV/film. But he has credits from Serenbe, Maltz Jupiter, North Shore, the Jack O'Brien Sound of Music tour, and others. Plus a BFA from Elon. If you really want to get specific, he actually does have more theatre credits than Luke Evans.

I don't mind the use of the Spanish pronunciation of Argentina, except for when they don't use it during A New Argentina. The voices are largely fine, but the album sounds rather hollow and soulless to me. The packaging is, indeed, beautiful though.

Not a cast that will make it a hit, but a group of actors I'm very excited to see.

Would absolutely rather have Sherie than Juliette. The orchestrations and vocals for this production are largely lacking, but nice that it will be preserved.

I went to an advanced screening of the movie downtown hosted by Robbie Fairchild and the first 15 minutes were incredibly uncomfortable as everyone seemed to have to grapple with, "How exactly are we supposed to be reacting to this assault on the senses?" And then one person laughed and it broke the seal, ended up being one of my favorite nights at a movie theatre (and Robbie joined in the laughter).

There were plans for a proshot that fell through in the last few weeks of the run.

Revisited the production at its closing performance and while my opinion on the production as a whole did not change, the work by many members of the cast was undeniable. Levy, Uranowitz, and Henry grew into something very special, Levy especially I think found such nuance as the run went on. And a special shout out to Nicholas Barrón and Ben Davis who stepped into the roles of Younger Brother and Father seamlessly. Barrón is a talent to watch.

They never actually wanted to stage the production in the round to begin with, Arena Stage asked them to because it was an expensive production and this allowed for more seats in the space. It will be restaged for a proscenium theatre. Circle in the Square is not big enough.

I think Jimin is immensely talented and I look forward to seeing them in the role. I find George Salazar borderline unwatchable and insufferable but such is life.

New York Stage and Film is exclusively for workshops/readings, so that is exactly what I expected going into the performance on Sunday. I'm always happy to support Deaf West's work and I thought the performers were all very game and committed, but the material itself is kind of just dreck from start to finish.

It will be very well danced even though I do not find her nearly charismatic or charming enough for this role. But I'm not the decision maker so good for her.
