I've had nearly a week to think about the show and my opinion still stands. This was a regional theater production moved to Broadway.

The original -- which had a much larger budget, big effects, and a larger cast -- revolutionized the use of projections and live video in the theater. Folks went wild for it because it was like nothing they had seen and it mended seamlessly into the story. Since then, this tech has become commonplace in almost all live events. This is a large pa

It’s intermission. I’m center orchestra, six rows back. This is not loud. I have no idea what everyone has been talking about. They could turn it up a notch to give it a bit more energy. I’m not kidding.

I can see how this show was well-received regionally but this is not Broadway-caliber. I feel like I’m watching a great regional theater production. The set is serviceable, the staging is messy and doesn’t hold a candle to the original. I do

I finally saw this and the critics have overhyped it. It was enjoyable but by no means did it change my life. The staging is nothing we haven't seen before. It's fun but it's been done elsewhere with other musicals. 

The real highlight of the evening is Marisha Wallace as Adelaide. For the first time I saw a version of this character that didn't make her into a "sexy baby" to quote Taylor Swift. She spoke like a normal person and came across as a strong w

I saw the original production and then the concert version with Glenn. I thought the original production was spectacular. Truly incredible. The concert was a big letdown but the biggest issue I had with it was that the score was constructed around the original set. These big musical swells and long pauses in the signing are meant to accommodate grand set changes and big scenic reveals. When you have a minimalist version using the original score it's full of dead space and the movement of

This may sound insane, but you should write to your local representatives about these practices. It's gross and data privacy is a hot topic these days. The more constituents speak up, the more our government will work to push back against policies that allow our data to be sold. 

For the record, I also think the practice of having to give our social media accounts over to these discount ticket sellers is ridiculous. I stopped doing it and found other ways to get cheap tickets.

This whole show has been very odd to me.

Britney has not been in a good place for a while and it seems -- from my limited perspective -- she's trying to find a way to own her narrative...so why would I want to see another product centered around her work when she is not in control of it? As a fan, doesn't that undermine the artist in some way? I understand the show is not about her life but it is centered around her work and from what I can tell she's never set foot in a re

I imagine they had to import someone from the UK cast in order to allow Roger Bart to perform over there in the first place. It's usually a deal between the two unions. That's not to diminish the work Coles is doing -- he's great!

My friend and I saw this last night. We bought the $58 side orchestra obstructed view seats. The seats were great and we really didn't miss a thing. It was an amazing price for how close we were to the stage.

We went in with low expectations and just wanted to have fun -- wow did we ever! We LOVED it. I am a total snob but this was pure popcorn fun from start to finish. Can I remember a single lyric? Not at all. Did I laugh and cheer and leave with a huge smile on my face? YES! The
