Kyle Riabko’s “What’s it All About” which ran at NYTW offered a “fresh” take on the Bacharach catalog.  I had mixed feelings. I love Bacharach so I’d like to see this but I’d be happy with a “Promises, Promises” revival too. 

I saw My Paris the musical about Toulouse-Lautrec at the Terris theater (Goodspeed) and enjoyed it very much. I always thought that it would make it to Broadway. It moved to the Long Wharf and seemed to die there.i thought that it was quite promising. Music and lyrics by Charles Aznavour; book by Alfred Uhry; English lyric adaptation and musical adaptation by Jason Robert Brown; directed and choreographed by Kathleen Marshall. I’d still go see it again.

I regret missing Orotorio for Living Things.

I enjoyed the intimacy and build of connection. I sat in the front right orchestra and got Edwards’ back for most of the play which I found frustrating. Susannah Flood is so good so I was glad to be close to see her facial expressions.  I think I will try to revisit this later in the run as it has stayed with me since seeing it on Tuesday.

idioteque…: And can anyone comment on Job & Once Upon a Mattress locations? 2 priority shows before they close for me.

For Job see previous numbered responses 3965-3968 in this thread.

Feidlimid: Wontorek works at Broadway.com. He has never said anything that is not glowing about any show. He made McNeal sound like the play of the decade. 

Fair point. I like Adam and Kander & Ebb so I guess I am looking for a reason to change my mind and go but I guess the direction is still the direction so thanks for the good sense reminder. Maybe if it shows up on TDF then. Part of me still feels unloyal to Kander and Ebb however.

I have not seen Cabaret yet. I was excited to hear Paul Wontorek's take on Lambert and Cravalho.

City Center ticketing, pricing and discounting has become tiresome.  

DCDrama2: I'll be there tonight as well! David Cromer became can't-miss for me ever since The Band's Visit.

Agree completely about The Band’s Visit.  His touches to Hunter’s A Case for the Existence of God still haunt me. The overwhelming joy from Dead Outlaw still make me smile and I cannot wait for the Broadway transfer.

The Roommate has 4 matinees per week: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday at 1pm and Sunday at 2pm. All evening shows are at 7pm.

Mama I’m a Big Girl Now! - Mondays at 7pm 11/4 - 12/2.

Drag: The Musical - Mondays at 8pm 10/7 -14, at 7pm 10/28 -3/24.

 

She will definitely help sales at & Juliet. I loved her on Dancing with the Stars.

Tom-497: ...so I'd just mention that the current Cromer-directed "The Counter" arguably takes a single line from George in Our Town (about friends telling each other what they need to be told) and turns it into the basis of an entire play (with several other similarities to Our Town). And, to my taste, The Counter is a much more successful, and moving, production.

Oh good. So glad to hear this since I have tickets for Tuesday and I am looking forward to it.

I decided to go back to see Solea in Moulin Rouge in November and got Q101,102. 

His Three Daughters was just released on Netflix. Carrie Coon is giving some performance. I couldn't help but think about the similarities and differences between the sisters in this and The Hills of California. I enjoyed both so much.

ATG made me jump through so many hoops to get a refund for American Utopia when COVID hit that I was forced to initiate a dispute with Amex.  I avoid them at all costs if possible.  And I don’t feel left out that I cannot partake in their planned upcoming charcuterie at Sunset. 

Lesli Margherita slipped in a quick message at the end of her last Instagram post that she is coming back to Broadway. Could she be Mazeppa? That would be fun!
