It’s not Sean, this happened this morning and is awful. I was just at their big gala last night, such a terrible thing to happen.

Were you in the new "west" mezz or the old "east" mezz
"
I’ll also chime in that the leg space in the old mezz is awful. I had to use a booster cushion so my knees would hit above the seat back in front otherwise I couldn’t sit normally (don’t worry, no one was behind me.)

I was also there tonight. Ny friend and I both thought it was the worst show we’ve seen this season. As others already said, so cheap looking and lazy choreography. So many scenes are just bad! The melting scene was one of the worst moments I’ve ever seen on stage. Whoever thought that was how that should be staged? And wtf was the tornado? Four dancers in grey robe spinning around?
I saw the Encores production at City Center and loved it! Why couldn’t this have half the energy o

I understand not wanting the residue on your phone, but are you seriously so addicted to it that you need to go through lying to the people in the theater?"
Explain how not wanting to damage a $1000 phone means someone is "seriously so addicted to it"?

Yes this is true. Right as you enter the theater, they put a round sticker over your camera that says "Keep it in the Kit Kat Klub". It was strong enough that after the show, it

Saw the 2nd preview tonight, God the first act is so deathly dull and boring. The woman next to me kept nodding off. The humor just did not work at all. There were so many lines that seemed like they were supposed to get a laugh that maybe a couple people lightly chuckled at.
Second act was better at least though Putin’s change from wanting liberalization to becoming a power-hungry murderous dictator is so sudden without any real explanation. I guess if that’s how it really was then the

Jordan Catalano said: "Do they do the “sticker on the phone” thing?"
No, they handed out stickers but no one was made to put them over the cameras.
The pre-show is such an experience! It’s like a mini show in itself! Definitely get there early enough to be there for that. And it takes place on several levels so make sure to visit all floors. So immersive, it really feels like you’re in the Kit Kat Club. They’ve redone the entire interior of the s

HEART OF ROCK & ROLL to open on Broadway this season? Mar 28

Geez, I bought a $20 ticket for May 16 since April is so packed (and because it was only $20!) but now I wonder if it’ll even make it that long!

It was OK, but needs some work.
I kept noticing anachronisms that stuck out. Small things that aren’t a big deal to the plot (Babe Ruth was not a famous name in 1913, “Black” wasn’t the term used for people in the 1910s), but since this show is basically a sung Wikipedia article, inaccuracies in one place made me side-eye how well-researched and accurate the whole thing is.
I really did not like the set. It’s so bare and empty with huge wooded doors that slide on and

Same! I thought The Notebook was pretty middle-of-the-road other than the two phenomenal older characters, whereas Water for Elephants was dazzling and electric. I was so surprised to read all the negative responses h

Saw it tonight and I agree, the rumble scene was so well done! It got its own applause when it was over. Really stunning work and so physical!
There were a bunch of school groups there tonight for a talkback afterwards, and the teens sitting near me all loved it and were sobbing at the end.
I really enjoyed it as well, minus a few quibbles. Somehow I’ve never read the book or seen the film so the story was entirely new to me and I loved the relationship between the three brothe

I did have one small issue with the show, perhaps I missed something: Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content When Lempicka flees to France in 1917 she has a baby, Kizette. She is then shown painting her daughter, now played by Zoe Glick, so I assume a long span of time has passed but then the year said it was maybe 1920? So she's supposed to be a

I was in the 3rd row balcony on the right. I did miss some of the action that happened high up on scaffolding, but most of it was in full view.
