gibsons2 said: "Bad Cinderella's gorgeous, luscious stage sets and costumes can be compared to Moulin Rouge and Phantom. Nothing cheap about them."
I sincerely hope you're kidding. The sets look like they're made of cardboard and literally shook as they moved, as if they were about to collapse. The costumes looked like they were bought off of the clearance rack at the Party City that's closing on 34th Street.

Nicholas Christopher is giving the performance of a lifetime. I am stunned. If you have the opportunity to see him, don't miss it. Truly a wonderful night here.

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR 50th Anniversary Tour

I absolutely loved this when I saw it in October. I truly believe that the gritty edge that it had, combined with phenomenal, raw vocals is how Superstar should be done. I am looking forward to catching the tour again this weekend.

What is the lowlight of your theatre going experiences?

Regional: Blood Brothers. The cast gave it their all, but it was the absolute worst piece of theatre I have ever seen. The music is atrocious, repetitive and annoying - and the show itself is a snooze fest. I will never understand how this gained as much popularity as it did back when it premiered overseas.
National Tour: Dear Evan Hansen. I have zero idea how the show got as popular as it did. The lead character is irredeemable in my mind, and the show itself is an absolute bore. I st

Where did "I'd Rather Be Blue" end up? I'm really hoping to catch her next time I'm in NY.

Lea Michele to Star as Fanny Brice in FUNNY GIRL starting 9/6

I finally saw this last night. Julie Benko, Jeremiah James, and Liz McCartney were absolutely wonderful. The entire cast was. That being said, the set was atrocious and I the book (especially in act two) dragged and dragged. I don't know if I'm in the minority here or not, but I think I would've rather seen the show performed as originally written without the additions of "Temporary Arrangement" and "Funny Girl". The staging was also puzzling - and I'm puzz

I am devastated. I had tickets for the end of August and was really looking forward to it. I'm glad to hear it's touring, though.

Traveling to NYC in August to see her. After hearing the other option, I decided that I'd rather see someone else. I'm hopeful that Julie is great!

Blood Brothers. I saw it regionally and although the cast did their best, it was a steaming pile of crap.

We Will Rock You Tour

I saw it a couple of months ago. Trevor Coll (Galileo) and Kerri Kelly (Scaramouche) are beyond fantastic - definitely two names to watch out for. The show is kind of a dud, but it is fun. See it if you can. The vocals are worth the price of admission alone.

I actually love this show. I've loved it since the original production in London and seeing the tour was a beautiful experience. I'd love to see it in NY.

I've needed some time to process this one. Here's my full, blunt review. No sugar coating.
I found it to be a mixed bag. Sarah Bareilles was fantastic, as expected. Erik Gronwall was the highlight of the evening for me as Simon Zealotes - he should have been playing Judas with that amount of talent. The orchestra was also incredible. I really enjoyed the ensemble and how the audience played into the show - it worked. Alice Cooper was a delight as King Herod, and I lov
