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.

Amber and Norbert are THRILLING casting choices.

A MILLION books I tell you!!

It's also not as thought Columbia is the only role cast with a famous or "famous" person in the role. You have Luke Evans, Stephanie Hsu, Harvey Guillén, and Josh Rivera who are all known in different (and occasionally overlapping) demographics. I don't think Valentina is reaching an untapped market. The people that would pay to see Valentina in Rocky Horror are the people that would already pay to see a production of Rocky Horror.

Saw the show yesterday afternoon after being very "meh" about it back in April.It's in much better shape now and I genuinely do credit a lot of that to Sherie. When Juliette opened the show, you had a person with a not great voice whose energy was so odd that it kind of started the whole thing on a bizarre note. Sherie enters looking like a million books, sounding as good as ever, and is so specifically weird that everyone who comes onstage afterwards has to now match what she did at the top ...

Just incredibly, incredibly sad such a wonderful and inventive production couldn't take off the way it needed to. Will definitely be making a return visit or 2 before closing.

Apparently Aisha, Tiffany, and Joshua were all being replaced for the next workshop.

A while ago, yes.

I saw the show over the weekend and found it to be a mixed bag with a lot of promise.The book -- as has become the case with most new musicals -- is the biggest issue. No character is really fleshed out all that well so motivations don't make a lot of sense. I think changing the choreographer from a man to a woman is fine, but then suddenly LeRoy doesn't have much of a personality. I think she needed to be rougher and meaner, Amber Iman exudes a warmth that is at odds with what the character ...

Oh Sherie is going to be BEYOND excellent.

I found the performance completely soulless and devoid of any actual connection to A Chorus Line. Introducing her by saying she was going to "honor the original cast of A Chorus Line" and then just have her sand center stage while over-singing "What I Did for Love" in front of the words A CHORUS LINE was a bizarre choice.It was an Evita commercial plain and simple. And I get that. But they couldn't even pretend it was actually about A Chorus Line by having a slideshow of pictures from the ori...
