David Yazbeck and Erik Della Pinawill perform a concert version of the show and supposedly announce the Broadway run!"

I was there tonight,anyone else? Very vague "come see us on Broadway" messagingand it sounds like the Audible recording won't be coming until 2025 (sigh). I LOVE this score, but curiously the bigmarathon runner number that everyone thought was su

I’m still ecstatic after going last night.  Could they have put any more love and care into creating this movie?  The spectacle, the level of detail in the sets and costumes, Ariana’s musical comedy chops, Cynthia’s soulfulness and eye acting, the callbacks to the original Wizard of Oz movie in the orchestrations… everything so thoughtfully executed.  It’s not perfect, but it is magical and I can’t wait to rewatch and see what details I

But if the stage is obscenely high or another thing… gahhh why is it so hard to get cheap tickets that can actually see the damn thing?"

Having sat in the front row but on the side (technically

This is such a warm, sweet show, and I'm so happy I saw it on Sunday. It's heartfelt and sentimental, but not cloying, and while it's a funny robot com-com it doesn't feel slight. They've captured the right tone.  As advertised, the lighting, sets, and projections are marvelous—yes, very similar to Company, but with additional bells and whistles and it's more constantly in motion. This must've been a beast to tech with all the moving parts

I've also had a tough time processing this one.  I was just thinking about Walk on Through over the weekend when I was at the Met.  I had only gone there once in my life before WOT and now visit pretty regularly after his show admittedly inspired me to get out and see more art.  I enjoy the recognition whenever I spot pieces he sang about in the show and this Sunday, I was working through European Paintings when I spotted Judith.  And I remembered how that painting had

All this week, I kept getting ads for this on YouTube.  It was always the same one, featuring rehearsal footage of the "Godspeed Titanic" number.  Each time I thought, I should skip this ad to avoid score spoilers since I wanted to go in cold this weekend as a newbie to the show, but I never could click past that snippet because it just sounded too sublime to ignore...  Wow, finally hearing the full score live blew me a

I didn't feel that compelled to see this, but the decent reviews and best musical nomination made me reconsider.  I went tonight and I kind of enjoyed this?  I was pleasantly surprised that I found quite a bit to like.  Jessica Stone gives us some neat staging and if anything, I appreciate that this shows off more of what she can do.  Her direction certainly papers over the weaker elements and adds interest, and I thought she did well, overall,

I finally went last night and found a lot to like here: a genuinely wonderful and varied score, vocals in spades, a standout performance from Ciara Renée, and a rich premise that centers the stories of two complex Black women and their experiences navigating their race, identities, and family dynamics.  I think the show does need work and I want to post more detailed thoughts on here later in case it has a future life, but its issues largely seem solvable.
