10th Annual NYMF Thread

I already have my tickets for Julian Po for tomorrow. I'm sorry to hear it's not great. I think I'll probably still go see it anyway, since I already paid for it.

I saw the staged reading of THE WATER DREAM tonight. Overall, I really enjoyed the music, especially anything sung by J. Robert Spencer ("Brave" was great) or with the whole company.
As much as I'm a RENT fan, I don't love Anthony Rapp's voice, so the fact that he sings a lot of the songs (he's the

According to playbill
A limited number of student rush tickets priced at $25 can be purchased with a valid student ID at the box office (one ticket per ID) on the date of the performance. In addition, $35 balcony-level seats are available in advance for all performances at the Longacre Theatre box office or at Telecharge.com.
FYI, the seats in the balcony are just fine and it was worth $35 to me to see Zachary Levi be adorable on stage. I don't think I would've paid more

Honestly, I didn't mind the show. I have no strong feelings toward it. It was enjoyable at the time, and I did laugh several times, and the audience was really into it (which was nice).
The score is lacking. There were some genuinely crazy/entertaining numbers ("The Girl for You" was insane, but you can't help like it?), but the songs themselves were mostly forgettable.
The strongest selling point of the show is the cast. Zachary Levi does a good job with the couple of songs he has ("In Love With You" was very fun & he dances  ) and he is a strong actor, very charming and funny. Krysta Rodriguez was fine - I've never been a big fan of hers, though, so *shrugs*. The rest of the cast (Bryce Ryness, Kristoffer Cusick, Blake Hammond, Sara Chase, and Kate Loprest) were all great playing their various roles - overall, funny.
I can't see this show lasting very long on Broadway, though.

...I'll be there. I'm fully prepared for it to be horrible, but I secretly hope it's surprisingly decent. But it will probably be horrible.
My main reason for seeing the show is the cast. So it's got that going for it, at least.

When will BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S post it's closing notice?

I'm seeing this show in about 2 weeks, and part of me hopes it doesn't close before then because I did want to see Emilia Clarke on stage, but if it really is dreadful, maybe it's better I didn't see it at all. I don't know.
...I just hope Audience Rewards will refund my points/money, if it comes to that :|

Murder Ballad seating chart

If you want to get really up-close and personal with the actors, sitting at one of the tables would be interesting. They do stand on the tables/chairs every once in a while. The room is tiny, though, so it might be a bit claustrophobic? Idk, that's how I felt.
In front of the shorter rows of seats, there's a pool table (which they get on for a few numbers) and in front of the longer rows of seats, there's a bar (which they also get on for some of the songs).
Personally, I'd sit

Kinky Boots vs Matilda
Nov 25
2012, 04:41:43 AM
I've seen both, but I'm likely in the minority.
I can easily see both shows being nominated - Matilda is pretty fantastic & has a great score, among other things; Kinky Boots is overall fun and not terrible (I've seen worse things get nominated, so anything "not terrible" has a decent shot at a Tony *shrugs*)
I would say, I'd be very surprised if Matilda *didn't* win something (assuming they don't drastically change anything from the West End incarnation).
As for Stark

I am really shocked that ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS did not get a Best Play nomination....

I'm surprised as well. I saw this show twice when it was in previews and I adored it. Never laughed so hard before at a show.
I think the big problem is that so much of the show is unscripted.
Actually, this isn't quite true. I don't want to give too much away, but after having seen the show twice, I discovered/confirmed much of the seemingly unscripted bits are actually scripted. The beauty is that James Corden is so great in this role, he makes you believe those moment
