It ended up being a miserable experience thanks to this "look at me watch the show" group. I understand deeply connecting to a productionbut when your response is so over-the-top and performative that you negatively affect patrons around you- idk I feel like they're alienating the ver

I loved the music in Stereophonic, but it was... about three and a half songs? For this reason alone, it feels to me like it would be a slap in the face to musical theatre composers to give the Best Score Tony to Stereophonic. I personally wanted to see Lempicka nominated in this category, but I think DoWaR is a very deserving winner. While Suffs is plucky and unusual for Bway, I think that the DoWaR is much more sophisticated and dramatic -- qualities that I think should be rewarded in this

Charley Kringas Inc said: "This is one of those shows that's frustrating precisely because you can see the parts of it that are really great, and how they're muffled by the parts that aren't.

First off, I loved the score, even if the melody is often let down by pedestrian lyrics. These are just fun songs to listen to - Don't Bet Your Heart, Perfection, The Most Beautiful Bracelet, Pari Will Always Be Pari, Women, Stay, What She Sees, and Just This Way are a

yyys said: "Cut that creepy child character and give the husband some depth and maybe another song or two."

In previous iterations, the husband Tadeusz had a song called “The Exchange” that was exciting and dramatic - it took place at his bank teller window where he laments the menial work he’s taken on and continues to agonize over how Tamara got him out of the revolutionaries’ prison. His new song, “Wake Up,” is, unfortunate

I really feel like I’m taking crazy pills when people talk about this show like it was unfairly derided. To me, and to almost everyone I’ve spoken to about it in person, it’s a conceptual mess."

i hear you but i feel like *im* crazy because while these are perfectly legitimate criticisms of the show, and i agree with some of them, the response to Suffs has been "solid but middli

binau said: "Sorry to be one of those people, but I couldn't help myself and 'hear' about some of the music - at least from La Jolla. Eden sounded a little off pitch in 'Woman Is" all the way back then! However, I'm struck just at how beautiful some of the music is. "I Will Paint her", "Woman Is", "In The Blasted California Sun". I don't think these are just average songs, and Eden's beautiful low vocals wraping throughou

Jordan Catalano said: "I really do like this show and I'm happy others are finding it and enjoying it, as well. For all the praise certain performers are getting, I want to single outAlly Bonino as Lucy Burns. She's so crazy talented and I had forgotten just how much I loved her in the role."

Ally was a highlight for me at the Public – she brings so much heart to the show. And an absolutely beautiful voice! Hoping her number toward t

Exactly this. The show’s issues are deeper than another 3 weeks of putting the show in front of an audience. Maybe they’ll add or subtract more music or book scenes, they’ll tighten transitions, modify costumes and scenic elements, and generally brush

I saw this last night... well, I saw the first half hour of it last night. What I saw was seriously amazing, so impressive, but SO RELENTLESSLY LOUD that I had a panic attack and had to leave mid-Act 1. It wasn't even about my ears hurting (which they did), but I could feel the sound in my entire body - it never lets up. (Relevant detail: I took a low dose of shrooms which likely heightened my senses and aided my spiral.) As I said, it was visually and dramatically so impressive,&nbs

gibsons2 said: "Best original score or bust. This song is just one of many phenomenal songs in this musical. No other upcoming new production can even compare."

Agreed! I saw this in both Williamstown (2018) and La Jolla (2022), and find the score to be exhilarating, beautiful, unique, dramatic, modern, emotional, dynamic. Not to mention, huge changes were made between those two productions, so I am very excited to see what kind of changes have been made since La Jol

Totally agree. The cast was exceptional, the directing was moving and efficient, the orchestra was soaring. I've never fully loved Ragtime because it seems to often get bogged down in some less exciting/emotional scenes and storylines, but this production kept me engaged across the board. I think Ragtime only really works (for me) when every single cast member is giving an excellent performance (including the historical figures, who are often dull but in this production were very alive an
