SUNSET BLVD. Revival

Just left tonight’s performance—this was my second Sunset Boulevard experience. It’s not that I was necessarily in love with it the first time, but I realize it’s closing soon and felt like it was such an event of the season that I wanted to experience it one last time.
Nicole was magnetic as always, though I will say she added a few more verbal and physical ad libs that felt anachronistic, and I personally found them distracting. The show opens with “1949

Can someone explain to a noob like myself why producers/composers said it wasn't possible to do 'Bombshell'?

DBH felt old and tacky - do people really think that was Hilty the whole time?
In the actual show it's directed to be very clear that the Liza dancer isn't Hilty, adds to the camp element. And if I remember correctly last night the double ran back on stage when the number was over to bow with everyone.
I like Binau's point that we can choose to just take Nicole's win as a sign that her performance was so loved that it withstood some challe

Did Anthony Ramos not perform or didn’t eyes deceive me?

Caught it last night—went in with very low expectations, and while there were several delightful surprises, on the whole the show was pretty meh.
Right out of the gate: Jasmine Amy Rogers deserves all the adulation she’s getting—her charisma was off the charts, her dancing was on point, and (save a few flat notes early on) she was in very fine voice. I’ll be eager to see what this young talent does next, especially in a different genre of show. Honestly

She was on key at the performance I caught, but I think it’s fair to say that she’s a strong singer whose voice is not for everyone. I thought she sounded great, but my friend said her singing sounded really nasal-y to him.
I do agree that she doesn’t have the gra

Saw this last week: this show leans unapologetically into its sharp humor and campy energy, and honestly, I had a blast.
What's stood out to me is how the book embraces its "nastiness." Zinger after biting zinger gets lobbed without feeling overly repetitive (even though, yes, most of the insults are about looks and age). I found it refreshing that the show wasn’t afraid to fully lean into how cruel these characters could be. It reminded me of how Mean Girls

Long time lurker, first time poster. Go easy on me :)
I went into this show with an open mind having not read any reviews or heard any word of mouth about the production. I caught the 2016 revival, have seen plenty of footage from various productions online, and love the original movie. Here’s my takeaway (details below): the source material—the musical’s book and score, not the original Wilder film—isn’t great, and even with a fresh approach to s
