Worst broadway shows you've seen

Revival of Jekyll & Hyde. Was the only show I've ever seen that I wanted to leave at intermission and didn't because I love the confrontation so much. Then to see what they did to it ... UGG!
The audible laughs from throughout the audience.
BTW: I love Rocky, Lysistrata Jones and a few others on this list :)
Also - didn't care for Leap of Faith yet, it is one of my most played on my iPod. Go figure!

HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME Previews

I didn't mean to offend anyone who's a sound designer, I recognize that it is not just their choice as far as leveling goes. Maybe it was just me, but I think it was loud. I didn't expect a 'concert' vibe since this "story is now".

HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME Previews

Saw it last night. I agree with most of the comments on here, the book is weak, but my biggest problem is the sound design. The show was loud - WAAAAAY over amplified. I had great seats (front center mezz) and I found myself trying to cover my ears at moments in the show. The music was pretty good and I enjoyed the staging/movements, but the sound design killed it for me. Also, where is the orchestra located? Pit? It almost feels as though most of the music is pre-recorded.

My QUICK opinion: Saw the show last night, other than possibly 1 lighting issue it seemed to run VERY smoothly. I see, pretty much, everything each season (I'm theater obsessed!) and must say, as of now Rocky is my front runner (although I've only seen Bridges in previews so far). I can't wait to see the final version. The star of this show is, without a doubt, the crazy awesome sets. Honestly didn't expect that. Andy Karl deserved a nod - no questions asked - the guy works his butt off and

I just called Telecharge -- they said that they can offer a past-date ticket exchange on the DAY of the new performance you want to see as long as it's a mid week (Tue/Wed/Thur) performance. You have to call please call 212-239-6210 after 11 a.m on the day that you want. Very helpful!!

Looking for Addams Family. Didn't see it on Broadway and am directing it this summer - I have this 'thing' about having all the original Playbills to shows I direct.

Bridges, Alladin, or Rocky?
Feb 13
2014, 01:49:06 PM
So far I've only seen Bridges (obviously) and it's good. Suppose to see Rocky tonight but who knows with this weather. As far as Aladdin is concerned -hmmm. If I had to choose one my gut says Aladdin if you're looking for a traditional musical with a WOW factor. Bridges if you're looking for romantic/drama and Rocky if you're into something 'new' and interesting. I know this doesn't help at all but with the snow I can't help but comment on the message boards!

I have tickets for tonight but my town hasn't even plowed my block yet (in NJ)! I've never missed a show ... how to exchanges work? Of course I got them on TDF so, do you think the box office would allow me to try again next week with a past-dated ticket?

Saw First Date for the second time the other day and the guy behind me repeated almost every line with a laugh. "She said she's not a Jew! Ha!" Wanted to murder him!!

I see almost everything TDF puts up -- at least 85% were orchestra seats. I've only ever sat in the rear mezz once. I usually go alone during the week if that helps.

Saw the show tonight and loved it. Honestly, some award winning material in there. Runs long - I can see a few spots to be shortened. Thought the first act was stronger than the second but both really good. My favorite this season so far.
Norbert stopped the performance during THE GIANT song, "Out There On The Road" because of some 'oil' on the stage. It actually took me a second to realize that he wasn't acting. He said he was concerned for the giant since the fall could be nasty for

Favorite Douglas Carter Beane lines.

From Lysistrata Jones: Xander enters wearing a Spartan costume and he says that he got it from the Drama Club's production of 'The Passion of the Christ' and then says "All good theatre was a movie first, that way the audience isn't surprised!" Got a laugh every night but a rolling laugh at the closing performance when Patti Murin said "Oh, that explains it!".
