I saw the performance last week. The acting was impeccable!

Re: A FEW GOOD MEN Previews
There are very few tickets left and they are all in the 400 dollar range. Amazing that Lincoln Center is able to charge that amount of money on a non-musical ticket in the back of the orchestra. Things have really turned around there from a box office perspective.
Re: THE FANTASTICKS Previews
Speed said: "I haven’t seen this production but the 2nd act is the whole point of the show. Same with Into the Woods and Sunday in the Park with George. I don’t understand why people don’t get that."It did not have anything to do with the point of the show, it had more to do with how the story telling was constructed. Sometimes in musical comedy the text is not fleshed out as well as it is in a nonmusical. So it is harder to connect emotionally to the journey the characters are on and the bea...
Re: ROPE - (Off Broadway) The New Group
I think it would’ve been an interesting show to update to today.
Re: THE FANTASTICKS Previews
I saw the show tonight and thought it was very genuine. The actors were all appealing and the gender changes were pretty seamless. Someone who was not familiar with the show might’ve thought that it was originally written that way. There were a few moments where the marriage of all the elements were quite stunning and emotional. One being Soon It’s Gonna Rain and the other the reprise of Try To Remember at the end of the show. Maxim Chlumecky had an awesome voice, just so easy to listen too. ...

Playbills for sale
I always wondered if there was a place you could take playbills where people could take them for next to nothing. Like a Broadway Cares flee market? Or if Housing Works would take them?

Going Saturday!
Who’s seen preexisting condition?
I have a ticket for Ms. Falco in December. Looking forward to the show.
Re: OTHER DESERT CITIES reviews (Hudson) - Louis-Dreyfus, Harris, Janney, Keery, and Rabe
Well, at least the producers won’t have to worry how reviews affect the way the show sells given that it’s practically sold out. I agree with the poster who said that it’s probably smart to try and get high profile cast shows as early as possible. Better seats for a better price and maybe one can even use a coupon code. And if you get ticket protection, you can always change your mind if the show turns out to be a stinker.
Re: Other Desert Cities reviews (Hudson) - Louis-Dreyfus, Harris, Janney, Keery, and Rabe
The reviews certainly are all over the board. Seems the director got the most consistent criticism for the revival being an under directed production. I look forward to seeing the show and forming my own opinion.
Re: ROPE - (Off Broadway) The New Group
I saw the show tonight and found it to be lethargic. It lacked suspense and the acting and direction was not very good. The production needed a more charismatic actor to play the psychopathic lead. Some of the actors were guilty of TV acting so their performances did not translate past the first row. There was a considerable amount of smoking that permeated through out the audience where there seemed to be a lack of ventilation. I found it to be unwarranted.
Re: Reimagined THE FANTASTICKS will open on Broadway this fall
If the cast had been singing original material some folks might have been less critical. Extraordinary voices have sung Try To Remember over the years from Frank Sinatra to Julie Andrews to Perry Como. And there has always been a particular fondness for Jerry Orbach. So one cannot help draw comparisons. It’s kind of like listening to people sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Zane was taking the right approach, not pushing it and integrating tenderness. I am sure the musical director will help h...
Re: Reimagined THE FANTASTICKS will open on Broadway this fall
I have never been convinced that studio rehearsal clips are the greatest way to promote shows. I have seen these kinds of clips over the years and thought there might be a different way to cultivate interest in a particular project. Sometimes the actors are not prepared or they have their nose in their music sheets. So it makes a viewer question whether they want to see the production or not. I have seen this repeatedly with Encores clips in particular. So I just take them with a grain of sal...
Re: Reimagined THE FANTASTICKS will open on Broadway this fall
The song in the video is being sung out of context. I say wait for some character development. The success of the show will depend upon the concept, the direction and whether or not the story pulls at the heartstrings. As a gay person I choose to root for it’s success.
Reimagined THE FANTASTICKS will open on Broadway this fall
Sutton Ross said: "He's trying way too hard, yikes is right. This isn't selling all that great and I doubt that video changed that."Well they are in rehearsals for gods sake!I saw a video of him talking about the importance of education, and he was a very good speaker who was stringing his thoughts together quite well. It was the opposite of a lot of characters he plays who sail by on their good looks.
Re: Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?
Paul Mescal if he wasn’t committed to Death of a Salesman. Not sure how well he would sing it but acting wise he would nail it.
Re: Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?
I predicted he would drop out. I never thought he had a strong enough voice for it. I was surprised he agreed to do it in the first place.
Re: THE FANTASTICKS at the Hayes -- Casting Speculation
TotallyEffed said: "He’d make waaaaay more money in Oh, Mary! But you said O’Mary, which sounds like the Irish Off-Broadway parody. Which would definitely pay less."You have a great sense of humor. Bravo!
Re: THE FANTASTICKS at the Hayes -- Casting Speculation
There used to be another video on the internet of Zane singing a lovely ballad when he was a bit younger before he bulked up. It was either recorded at a school he was attending or a space similar to 54 below. I am thinking it was a Jason Robert Brown song. Maybe someone else remembers this. At any rate count me in for 1 ticket. I am happy he will be challenging himself by taking on a lead role on Broadway! And a musical! I actually was surprised that he didn’t play the teacher in O’Mary, but...
