Darren Criss and Helen J Shen Will Lead MAYBE HAPPY ENDING on Broadway Jul 18
2024, 04:05:56 PM
The set was very high tech in Atlanta, not just a projection design. The Atlanta run had frequent technical difficulties so I’m not surprised they want to level it up for Broadway. The atlanta run was also more than 4 years ago so I imagine they need to replace/rebuild a number of set items

Frank Wildhorn’s manga musicals Jul 9

"Your Lie in April" received a concert production in the spring. The new west end run is indeed a full production. I also echo the above sentiments that it was rather dreadful. I hated it - forgettable music, absurd book. That said, I was impressed with Mia Kobayashi in her professional debut. She is clearly going places, hopefully among them better musicals.

New Article in Variety: "Shipwrecks, Cannibalism and the Avett Brothers: Why ‘Swept Away’s’ Next Stop Could Be Broadway"
Notable quote: "The producers of “Swept Away” are trying to keep things lean, aiming for a capitalization of $12 million, much lower than the nearly $20 million that many musicals cost to put on these days."

Islander at Playhouse 46 @ St. Luke's Apr 14

I don't think any particular side has a better view but I'd say within each side being closer to the middle is preferable. The actors often stand at the corners of the stage so if you are on the aisle you'd be seeing their backs more than most. Also, it's an intimate production so the closer to the stage the better.

HARRY POTTER CURSED CHILD as 1 Part Apr 14
2022, 10:01:44 AM
I agree with everything Dirty Rotten Scoundrel said. The Broadway version felt tremendously rushed and some of the cuts really stung (I particularly miss Hagrid's scene). Some of the "dance" scenes now feel more obviously filler, especially the one after Scorpius and Albus return from the lake, which is obviously there to buy time for drying off the actors.
The voice the current Broadway Scorpius does is exceptionally grating. I've seen the show before and never

I saw it in previews. I thought the music was good fun, even if some of the lyrics were a bit clunky. The lead actress was phenomenal. Some of the book and plot was a bit cringey but I heard they made revisions.

Someday said: "Random question, but is anything in the show borderline inappropriate for a seven-year-old boy to see?
I’m thinking about taking my son, because he loves pop music and dancing, knows a handful of Britney songs, and would recognize all the fairy tales this is based on.
On the other hand the subtext, and sometimes actual text, of Britney’s songs can be pretty sexual. And he’s just too young for explicit stuff.
So what do

Just a plug to the DC theatregoers in this thread: Regardless of whether you see OUAOMT, I hope you check out "A Strange Loop" at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Co!!! It's an outstanding, original musical also having its pre-Broadway try out here.

I'm sorry to report that I just saw the show tonight (12/4) and had a very different impression than ClumsyDude15. Overall, I thought the show was a huge letdown. It just left me thinking of the many musicals that tread similar ground better.
Set had all the charm of a corporate office building. They used some projections but the many bright spotlights washed them out. I wish they'd leaned into the fairytale setting and really gone out on the set!
