I was there. Audra was in sensational voice and is playing the f*ck out of the role. She’s very nuanced and VERY funny.

In Kecia’s defense, it’s a loud show. Tee hee…

Why ANYONE turns to Michael Reidel — for anything! — continues to mystify. He’s a genuinely despicable individual who presents his opinions as facts and can rarely defend them. He lacks any sense of caring for and  knowledge about theatre. What’s more, he lacks any sense of humor, often mistaking cruelty for wit. He’s the type of guy (not man) who is self-satisfied for a particular zinger at brunch when it was actually just mean. And will kvetch to his thera

This was one of the most exciting evenings I’ve ever spent in a NY theater. And that includes The Gaiety!

I know GYPSY better than any other show. I found this to be, easily, the best overall production I’ve ever seen. Audra is the first performer to ever make me believe Rose is a person. Other performers have played it safe, going full steamroller. But this is a 5-star, top notch  production that made me laugh, made me scream, and had me in the edge of my sea

Stop it. It hasn’t opened yet. And certainly hasn’t been reviewed. No doubt that’s why it’s not included.

If they needed a name to sell tickets they wouldn't turn to Lorna.

i nominate this as the first ever BEST OF BROADWAYWORLD post. I need this on a T-shirt.

Hi! So I actually saw the show and I hated it very much, hope this clears things up!

This is not life changing theatre, and never once does it ever try to take itself seriously - I think this is ultimately what makes the show a success. It leans into the camp and spectacle while allowing the two leading ladies to shine and do what they do best - make big jokes and sing big notes on a big

Kad said: "I dunno, I think it's pretty remarkable that a new, very queer comedy that had no big name celebrity attached to it has managed to become one of the biggest hits of post-COVID Broadway and is able to command such prices and have people pay them. It was incredibly risky and I'm glad that the risk has paid off and hope it affects the thinking of what can make it on Broadway."


I sincerely thank you for the perspective. Truly. Also, for not g

Kad said: "There seems to be two different gripes here: 1) Broadway ticket prices are ridiculous (fair!) and 2) Oh, Mary! is not worth those high prices because it's a silly one-act comedy (...not really fair)."

 

A succinct and fair (!) summary. I guess Im a curmudgeon. $355 for an 80-minute show? Bah humbug. 

 


Telecharge, StubHub, and, Oh, Mary, The Ripoff
 Nov 14 2024, 10:22:13 AM

The ticket price jumps to $563 once StubHub fees are added. So Telecharge is listing its own $355 for $487 at SH.

I thought the show was perfect off-Broadway. I’m an idealist and thought, had it stayed down there, it would have brought more attention to off-Broadway shows.

As for sounding like a bot, beep.

Clayton? Sexy AF. Though his self-satisfaction is a massive turn-off. I mean, the video of him wringing out his dance belt at intermission of Crazy For You, while titillating, was such flagrant narcissism that I began to worry for his husband. 

All of his curated and posed photos are just too much.

He's absolutely sexy AF. And isn’t at all.

My vote:

Groff. All the way. Groff’s humility, accessibility, talent, heart, and that face? Groff would b

I know. I know. But it’s never been so flagrant.

A pal asked me to grab tickets for Oh, Mary! You know, that hilarious sketch that lasts 80 minutes and should never have left off-Broadway. 
 
Specifically, Friday, 11/22.

Telecharge shows four seats on the center aisle, Orchestra Right, Row H. There are only seven seats in that particular row. A scandalous $355.

StubHub shows there are 1-4 seats available in Row H. $487 (befo

Y'all really think a soprano Mama Rose has a chance in hell when Nicole was out here belting her a-s-s off? I'm not saying I can PROVE Aubrey hacked Nicole but stranger things have happened. If it turns out subterfuge and tomfoolery are at work Audrey McDonald should be disqualified at the Tonies and Schlesinger should win."<
