Just a thank you Apr 13
2024, 01:20:56 AM
I’ll echo in sharing my gratitude to all the BroadwayWorld posters whose early-preview recommendations led me to some of the greatest theatrical experiences in my time in New York City.
I’m a multi-decade (!) lurker, sometimes poster, and I’m ever grateful for the recommendations, the musings, the humor and the distraction. 🙏

FWIW, I think the final Defying Gravity riff sounds amazing.

The slight changes to the book/script previewed seem like a step in the right direction.
I’m so excited for Cynthia’s performance, cautiously optimistic for Ariana’s, and the practical effects in the film look stunning.
This trailer did give me a few Oz the Great and Powerful CGI vibes, but I’m hopeful they were just going for the splashiest scenes for this audience.
It’s the year of Wicked, folks.&nb

Cole Escola is Mary Todd Lincoln in OH, MARY! Off-Broadway Feb 1

Oh, this was very funny. I’m still thinking about Cole’s performance and, especially, facial expressions. Great writing and performances all around. Conrad was excellent. I might even call this a must-see.

THE GARDENS OF ANUNCIA: Michael John LaChiusa musical based on the life of Graciela Daniele will play LCT's Newhouse in Fall 2023 w/ Priscilla Lopez, Mary Testa, Andréa Burns, Eden Espinosa Oct 28
2023, 12:20:28 PM
Between the cast and LaChiusa, was excited for this one but… oh my. I’d rank this among the least interesting shows I’ve seen in the last few years. Great cast and the music shines at times, but the book feels like an adaptation of a 3rd-grade essay.

I sincerely hope Willemijn provides the German and/or Dutch dubs of the Wicked movie, as she did for Frozen. I want an official recording of her Frei und Schwerelos.

Icke's THE DOCTOR Starring Juliet Stevenson at the Park Avenue Armory Jul 16
2023, 07:20:46 PM
I saw The Doctor last night. It’s the first show I’ve seen at the Armory since Yerma. I found Yerma astounding. The production design alone was worth whatever I paid back in 2018.
I thought The Doctor was merely okay. I’m only slightly familiar with Icke’s work, but I found myself, as the themes of race and identity started cropping up throughout Act I, hoping against hope he was not a white man. But alas.
The show was very well acted, particu

Some new images were released today, including of Glinda's and Elphaba's Shiz costume. Globafan--I actually thought this might be a Kristin cameo as Glinda's mother as she looks to be about Ariana's height or shorter... but we can only see her back in the photos I've seen so far...

It looks like all these photos of the set from the NOMTW and Thank Goodness shoots. Couldn’t the production send some security crew o whichever spot that is and stop people from taking pictures?

I wish I had the self restraint to stop myself from opening these links. This is waaay too far out to be seeing costumes and hearing clips of Defying Gravity.
But I've been playing that Defying Gravity on repeat all day. Cynthia sounds great.

SWEENEY TODD Revival announces further casting Mar 3
2023, 01:31:05 AM
Saw the show tonight. A few quick thoughts:
Josh Groban, Annaleigh Ashford and Ruthie Ann Miles were all excellent.
Josh’s voice suits Sweeney well and he played it straight and dark and slightly manic at times, maybe to match Annaleigh’s energy, but never over the top.
Annaleigh was charming and very funny. Her Mrs. Lovett is not too distant from her roles in Wicked and Kinky Boots for the first two thirds of the show. I thought she was stun

Patti LuPone - 54 Below Reviews? Jan 1
2023, 10:49:54 PM
Might be too late for you but: this was my first time seeing Patti in concert. I thought she was wonderful. Seeing her sing Don't Cry for Me Argentina and Meadowlark live was pretty incredible. She also did three songs from West Side Story (A Boy Like That, Something's Coming, and I believe Somewhere) and a few holiday songs in the middle. I thought Christmas in the trenches was very touching. She choked up at the end and had tears in her eyes during many of the songs.

SeatGeek Customer Service Dec 7

Has anyone else had difficulty working with SeatGeek customer service? I am trying to exchange a ticket to a new row so that I can add another seat as there are no open seats near where I originally purchased. It took forever to figure out how to contact SeatGeek. When I did, there were dozens of back-and-forth questions to clarify my request, and then in the end they emailed me to reject it and suggested I resell the ticket on their site rather than exchanging it.
Either way, Seat
