It was so frustrating (and confusing?) to have that be in the same show as Carmen Cusack signing the title number as well as How. Both were stunning moments. A very uneven evening, but still

Bette's Turban said: "Jordan Catalano said: "Looking at Travelocity,Times Square hotels are under $200 a night for July 4th week. Thats insane."
Well, most people get out of this city during that holiday weekend. It’s usually insufferable."
I don’t think New Yorkers are the ones booking hotels… unless you’re referring to tourists?
Anyway, look at any site for Manhattan hotels during a ran

It's being described as "darkly comedic", wonder how funny it will actually be considering the subject matter."
I saw a reading of it last year. The subject matter is obviously serious, but the comedic moments are situational and interspersed here and there to lighten the mood a bit. I won&rsqu

Kad said: "Green doesn’t really have a great prediction record, so I wouldn’t read much into this at all on that front. It’s really more reflective of him and his view of the industry which is looking increasingly out of touch. "
He has Sam Mendes winning for best director of a play, which I don’t think a single person has predicted.

I boughta LincTix seat for this months ago, and lucked out in sitting right in front of Floyd's "stuck" location, so maybe that effected my experience. (seat House left if you can, folks!)It's such a beautiful, mournful show, and its' cast and staged beautifully. There is such a wonderful use of negative space on this stage. It feels vast and lonely, and the use of specific light and

Adam Lambert Cabaret 1/22 Matinee Audience Behavior

Perhaps people are calling him a Nazi because he’s supporting actual (neo) Nazis.

Anyway, this thread has derailed. I haven’t seen the current production, but I saw the roundabout version numerous times. On almost every occasion, at least one person audibly laughed after the line. It was definitely not a whole or even half the audience thing, though. However, the awkward silence that followed definitely seemed to make the folks who laughed feel uncomfortable.

Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren to star in THE LAST FIVE YEARS Broadway Revival

Observation said: "I'm getting the sense that they're going after the same audience as Romeo + Juliet. This is for the younger crowd, and I swear they're gonna have Nick Jonas shirtless in this thing for no particular reason."
***slight spoiler???***
Jamie is usually shirtless in “Nobody needs to know,” (as per the original, revival, and movie) due to the plot implications of the scene.

I just won a Lottery for this Wednesday matinee at 2pm but I’m leary to claim the tickets because I don’t know if Ms. Moon’s will be playing.

Christmas was on Wednesday. Desire to consume Christmas-themed content usually dips significantly afterwards. Their seating charts look empty this week.

Well, add me to the chorus of people who found this utterly and completely charming. It’s also visually stunning. I do fear that it won’t be able to find an audience, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

- I realize it’s a concert, and it’s Sondheim, but a TON of lines were dropped, cues missed, lyrics jumbled etc…
