The instruments sound canned or on a keyboard, the voices muffled, weird instrument mix at the wrong times, voices quiet below the instruments. The design and mixer aren't good in this theater. We wondered if the sound group had worked in this theater before."

Agreed- this was worse than Urinetown in terms of sound mixing (esp in the group numbers), and I was in front mezzanine tonight

It seems silly the way the tiktok was edited (misleading nonsense on tiktok, shocking!) but there is a fuller unedited clip out there where Rebecca Jones is soliciting for Broadway Cares, and suggests maybe donating 6 or 7 d

I didnt love the structure here-- the 4th wall history lessons on either end were tired-- but i cant remember the last time i saw such an explosion of talent rocket off a stage like this. Both Brian Quijada and Nygel Robinson have etched themselves in my mind-- Quijada so effortlessly likable and deeply engaging, Robinson singing better than anyone I've heard in a long while. Really remarkably talented people telling a fascinating slice of history.

If it develops further, I hope th

the audience in the mezzanine today seemed bored with the play but enamored with celebrity, and hooped and hollered."



Honestly curious -- how were you able to differentiate whether they hooping and hollering for the play or for the actors -- or maybe both? Did you conduct a survey of everyone on the way out?

disagree with most of what Joevitus wrote but just to be clear-- youre suggesting that because I looked up Lachanze's credits and was impressed with what I saw, i have "become her fan in retaliation" to the ugly musings of gibson? This feels beneath you. 

Of course people can speculate about whatever they want, and others can then point out the baseless fantastical nature of those speculations. doesnt seem complicated to me but alas here we are, in this swamp. <

alot to admire here but i found it hard to stay connected listening to (beautifully, beautifully sung) songs that were either in different languages or entirely indecipherable. as soon the show transitioned to clear lyrical moments, i was enraptured, but those moments were fleeting. 

still, the way its set up so that you are IN the show, and the vocalists and music surrounds you- wonderful. and these truly are some of the most talented singers performing as cohesively as ive ever

i just looked, because i thought maybe i missed something, but Celia Gooding was in Jagged Little Pill, and then...nothing? She's appeared in precisely zero of the productions her mother has worked on, am I getting that math right? So in your crusade against the scourge of nepotism, she and LaChanze fit in how exactly? 

prior to yesterday i had a barely passing interest in this woman and her career, but this stupidity has turned me into a fan. shes producing Ariel Stachel'

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Producers leave shows all the time, and while there’s always a story, losing the fourth-billed co-lead producer shouldn’t have any meaningful impact on the show.

LaChanze is a prolific money-raiser, but she’s not a symbol of quality. Sonia Friedman and Wagner & Johnsonare some of the most seasoned and powerful producers we have right now. Yes, there’s a glaring opticsmatter of losing a Black woman on a show like th

His dark powers are so vast that he not only turned a lovely, well-meaning ticket vendor into a monster (as a Board member not responsible for its actual operations), but he managed to keep it a monster years after hes gone?
