Also disappointed that ZNP isn’t continuing on with the show, but looking forward to seeing the newbies.

I agree that the monologue was weak. She has so much she could’ve said, and she said nothing. A big “eh.”

They were trying to make it a Woodstock-like event, so the upstate vibes fit more. It def wasn’t Woodstock, and I do think they should switch to a venue with actual parking, but it was pretty on the water and outdoors.

I was there on Friday and I do agree that things were more organized than I expected considering it’s the first iteration. I still believe tickets were too expensive even with single day tickets available because they nickel and dimed everything. A parking pass was an insane amount of money and the shuttle (which was organized on the way there and more disorganized on the way back) was even too pricey. I paid $24 for six just okay dumplings since there were only a few food options and everyth...

And every show is a limited run now with the hopes that if they call it a limited run, it’ll make people buy tickets and they can extend. Yes, it’s a subscription house, but they still need to sell tickets. The rest of their season isn’t doing it for me, so maybe this one could? If there are no recognizable names (Broadway or o...

ACL2006 said: "EDSOSLO858 said: "Whitney Leavitt will play Sandra Dee from December 1 - January 10."That's all kinds of terrible casting. Rumors are Mark Ballas will be the next Bobby."I agree with this. Big fan of the show, but a singer she ain’t. Clearly she sold a lot of tickets for Chicago, and that’s what they’re hoping for here, but I don’t know if the same success will translate to this one.

Got tickets. Wonder when they’ll announce the cast. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, that’s his name. Just couldn’t think of it. His content with Harvey is definitely funny, but I didn’t think either were great in their roles. They were fine. Hope Jimin has fun with it!

Having seen Jimin in the HR parody, I think he’s way better for this role than the one I saw in the role. Can’t think of his name right now - he dated Rachel Zegler. Jimin has a sweet, dopey aura that’s very Rocky.

I had tickets to this show a month and a half ago. My friend went, but my buses never showed up, and I couldn’t get to the theatre. I was devastated. My friend gave me the past-date info, and I filled it out explaining the situation. Never heard back. The show clearly hasn’t sold well, so it’s not like they didn’t have a seat to give me, and you’d think they would’ve wanted an extra body in their audience. They close today, and I just have to say good riddance to them, if that’s how they trea...

Finally saw it, and it’s excellent. You may have to be Jewish to fully get all the nuances of the characters, but maybe I’m wrong. Beautifully written with humor, compassion, and insight from all sides of the argument. This one will stay with me for a while.

Enjoyed this overall. The show is definitely too Hamilton-sounding, but it’s like Operation Mincemeat in that it sounds too similar to Hamilton, but it’s also very good music. I just think that’s how shows sound today in general. They either sound like Hamilton or a have a generic indie pop sound. Wish they came up with their own sound or reflected the sound of the time period they were coming from. For example, I saw A Walk on the Moon, which should have a 60s sound to its music. Same with w...

I’m going next week. Don’t think it’s selling well.

How is he?"I wonder how long his contract is because I’m assuming he will rejoin The Heart Off-Broadway in the fall ?"They have been auditioning for his replacement in The Heart. "That makes me sad. He was great, and I was hoping he’d continue.

Yeah, I definitely feel like I saw Billy in that. This feels like more of a reaction to the topic of Israel, but obviously that’s speculation.
