Does anyone think that Nicole S would actually be amazing in a revival? She can go the full spectrum of dark, quiet, eerie and powerful belt. Plus she has the stage presence. The kind of names thrown around previously (Audra, DeBose) haven’t qu

It's dead of winter in NYC and the show has been running for a few months now - I'm not surprised to see a lull in sales.I anticipate a bump in sales in the spring - and I'm sure the Tony nominations will help."

I think this is the way most of the run has been. L

Falsettolands said: "This was my 9th show in the Golden but my first musical. Is the sound mixing usually this bad? I was in the third row and felt like the band was playing in another theatre two blocks away. I was hoping to be hit with an explosion of sound like the very well made cast recording, but this just felt so muted. Any similar feelings?

still working though my thoughts on the other parts of the show…very mixed right now. The cast is great."

1) What exactly did you find weak about the opening number? It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, which is set up the entire premise and introduce the main players (Montagu and Chomondeley). I find it to be a very rousing and cheeky start for the show itself.

2) “Dead In The Water” is somewhat of an extension of “Born To Lead”, but focuses on Chomondeley’s very methodical and

On the contrary, I thought that "Dead in the Water" takes a good pointerfrom all the best Tim Minchin comedy songs, which are meant to subvert your expectations midway through. "I wish I were a maggot" is a great diversion from starting to explo

I saw this last night and have to say I was also on the side of underwhelmed. I found the cast charming, and the show was silly and sweet, but it was absolutely not as funny as I believe it intends to be. I think I could forgive anything else if it was really really funny. I also found the opening number to be incredibly weak, as well as 'Dead in the Water' which was such a bland cliche of an 'I want' song. I didn't think the show really found it's groove unt

It’s built into the front wall of the overhang, similar tothe conductor monitor, and controlled remotely."

Does that mean you can see it if yo

It wasn't just a matter of showing she is falling for him. In the original staging/choreography, it becomes clear she wants to be the girl in the act that Tulsa has created. When we find out he eloped with June, we understand how devastating that would be for Louise in a wa

Different people and different tastes. I personally think the current production of Sunset Blvd is the best thing I've seen in at least a decade, but there are many other people that can't stand it. T
