Dirty Rotten Scoundrel said: "Same for me. Was in the queue with maybe 600 in front of me, then as I got closer, I was hit witha 503 error. I rejoined with 3000+ in front of me. Got down to 2026 in front of me after two hours, and now I just looked again and I am somehow back up to 2340 in front of me. This has truly been an all day affair. At this point I can't tell if I'm still staying in this because I want to see the show or because I'm stubborn."

Saw this on Tuesday. I adored the first act. I was laughing and having a ball and feeling some serious nostalgia for that run of early 00s musical comedies, which I have such a soft spot for. Act 2, unfortunately, really lost its steam for me. It had some funny moments but otherwise felt like the show blew its proverbial load in Act 1 and had nowhere else to go. 

Adored Megan Hilty - never knew the word "semester" could make me laugh so hard. Michelle Williams seems

I saw this last Friday and the best way I could summarize my feelings is, "this felt like a very rough first draft." Everything seemed unpolished and not fully thought through. There is a lot of fat in the script that can and should be trimmed. Plenty of scenes come and go without any sort of context or resolution (BDSM scene as well as Debra Messing's character's big reveal which felt fully out of nowhere come to mind).
 

This thing just gets too far a

Honestly, if I were Nicole, I’d be flattered by all these people saying I’m too young to play a role that I’m actually age-appropriate for. She looks fantastic.

When I saw this originally, Jimin Moon was on for Joe and I was pretty disappointed by the performance, so I'd bought a ticket to go again in the hopes of seeing Tom Francis. I went Saturday eve and Tom was indeed on - and he was fantastic. It was clear, however, that he was fighting an illness. He was struggling not to cough throughout and did cough once or twice. Despite this, his voice still sounded absolutely gorgeous. He really is the glue of this show and the entire production takes

Went into this fully blind but had a nagging feeling I would hate it -- I think I had somehow conflated it in my mind with Be More Chill if I'm being fully honest.  Instead, I wound up being completely charmed by this sweet little show. To answer those who've asked: there were no "wow" moments or spectacles (though I was impressed by the projections), and the songs were relatively subdued - but nevertheless it is truly original and has a whole lot of heart. I think Broa

He’s not doing Macbeth."

Assuming they meant Othello.
 

Regardless, I am curious what the producers will do next. There aren't many actors at Rannells' "price range" who would be as good as or better than him. There are some celebs, lik

This was the final Best Musical nominee I had to see and I really, really enjoyed it. While Illinoise moved me deeply and was my personal favorite, I do think The Outsiders is likely my frontrunner for the win.

There's nothing I can say that others haven't already said, but one thing I wanted to remark on was how many young (and very well behaved!) audience members there were. From what I could tell, there were four different school groups in the mezzanine and they al
