Georgeanddot2 said: "I do plan on seeing it, but every bit of footage I see of the film is so poorly blocked and lit and color graded. Wicked should look beautiful. Instead it looks LOUD and amateurish. This required a great director and Jon M Chu is not a great director.
It's disturbing how you people respond to criticism. I can't just find a director's work consistently poor, I have to be a bitter, hater failed actor?I think you're projecting.

Followed the house manager’s suggestions with a light colored shirt (presoak in warm water and dish liquid, then machine wash) and unfortunately the stains did not come out. Shirt is ruined. As good as the show was, it’s hard to carry a positive memory of the experience now. And again, it was all complete

LMM working on THE WARRIORS musical?
Nov 11
2024, 01:10:02 AM
After a few weeks of listening to this album, I've really come to enjoy it as well. It's fun and the performances are top notch. A Light or Something is LMM at his finest and Same Train Home is gorgeous. There are many great moments throughout.
My biggest quibble is the finale and just overall theme of the piece. Maybe it's the fault of the original movie, but the message of the story is unclear to me. LMM's finales typically wrap everything up so well, so I was disappointed by this end

The teaser immediately reminded me of the fatal mistake made in the original production of the ill-fated "Carrie" musical when Barbara Cook was cast as Carrie's mo

Glad to see this show has some life. It definitely needed some work in Boston but overall was a solid night at the theater. I know it's unlikely but I would love to see Courtnee Carter continue with the show. Her performance (that voice!) was excellent.

I absolutely adore Leigh Ann Larkin's rendition of June and I wish she had the chance to do more broadway after it. (I love her singing The Miller's Son too) I mean, June Havoc was a real person that has actual material that they could use to make the character, both physically and vocally. And I love “If Momma Was Married,” especially Larkin's version o

The Distinctive Baritone said: "Scott and Christopher are supremely talented, but having Seymour and Audrey be in their 40's/50's is an odd choice."
Why? I don't see why it matters. If anything I thought ABG and Sarah Hyland were too young...

RSrichie said: "I was very excited about this. But ALL female gangs in NYC just doesn’t make sense. I find this very disappointing. It’s just PC BS over reality. It’s not sexism, it’s just realistic about gangs in The Bronx."
Maybe you should wait before passing judgment on something you haven't seen yet....

Oh just STFU already."
THIS.

darquegk said: ""I Love You Song" also includes one of the most chillingly ambiguous lyrics in all musical theatre, with a meaning that has been debated heavily because it changes the tone of the song and of the show itself even more than a "Drowsy Chaperone" level."
What lyrics are you referring to?

Ivy Lynn is playing Marilyn Monroe who died when she was 36. Robyn Hurder is in her early 40's and from the clip I saw looks too old to me, just my opinion."
So there's a 5 year difference? She doesn't look "too old." She looks great.

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES musical will have pre-Bway tryout this summer in Boston

Caught this last week and was super disappointed. Kristin is working hard, but the material, especially the book, is a mess. Except for one moment, the music didn't allow Kristin to use her gorgeous soprano notes. Truly a crime. The costumes and set are great but this needs a complete book overhaul imho.

Much better reviews than I expected. With such great reviews for Sutton, I wonder if she'll be remembered coming Tony time, even with so many more great performances to go.
