We got short changed in Australia, instead of getting Jamie Lloyd’s thrilling new production we got this sub par one.

I'm sorry you didn't like her interpretation. Did she sing everything in a higher key? More operatic? How was the overall direction, the orchestra, the sets, the other roles? Any details?

if the show started at 7pm or 730pm, then it finished even longer ago."

I know, that would mean the show would still be running if it had started

Here we go what? Is there any substance to you or are you only capable of trying to create drama and division? Because I would lov

The biggest surprise in this trailer for me is Ariana Grande's acting. She comes across as natural and subtle and I can really see a Glinda in her. 

I do not like Cynthia Erivo's acting at all. She is stiff and flat. I hear her lines but not in a single scene I can see the passion in her eyes. There is no life behind it. Which is a shame because Elphaba should be the opposite of that.

The biggest disappointment is Jonathan Bailey. This guy can not act AT ALL. H

I agree that the writing is wonderful, but you seem to be contradicting yourself. You also said before that your mind wandered off during the show. 

I also think that the musical direction in this version was very poor. 

You defend the gimmicks by saying the material is total trash so they are a relief. You don't seem to care about deliberately taking audiences out of

The lyrics are explicitly and literally not about that but describe something completely different in very fine detail. About the silent music in the silent film era, about no words, putting words to shame, that it's impossible to write

OhHiii said: "Either way, by all accounts your perception of this character is so rigid that if Nicole so much asblinked at the wrong time, you'd rip the performance to shreds."

Actually, I am very much open to different interpretations as long as they are sincere. Unlike Jamie Lloyd, I do think Nicole is talented enough to play the role in a sincere way without the distractions and without breaking character. She could be great with good direction. But there is

SonofRobbieJ said: "the show is really about what is lost when technologies change and the people who cannot adapt get left behind. I think most people know that once upon a time, films were silent...and that's all one really needs to know. We are in a time where we will always confront technologies changing industries. It's why the reconceiving of Sunset actually works. It understands that it's bigger than just the specifics of when the talkies arrived and that this stor
