THE WHO’S TOMMY Broadway Previews Mar 9
2024, 09:24:19 AM
I won lotto and seats were in row A (5 & 7), off to the side. Slightly obstructed but the view wasn't terrible at all. It is a very loud show so consider bringing some ear plugs!
I thought the show was incredible. There are so many moving pieces, the entire show is one beautifully choreographed dance. For me, there wasn't a weak link in the cast but the standouts were all of the Tommys (Olive Ross-Kline and Reese Levine were on for the first preaches).&n

Come From Away Closing Oct 2 Oct 2
2022, 07:01:26 PM
The WOOer and the filmer were the worst but nothing could spoil how spectacular this afternoon was. Come From Away is such a special show and I love how much it means to everyone involved in different ways.
And for folks who couldn’t attend, please consider a donation to the Canadian Red Cross (https://www.redcross.ca) or another organization helping out the victims of the Hurricane that hit Newfoundland a few weeks ago. Hundreds of homes lost the the SPCA was broken into. They deserve our help after everything they’ve done for us.

If you are referring to photo on Instagram he took one selfie from the steps of the stage door, at a distance. Actors are under enough pressure as it is, they don't need message board posters questioning their every move.

Yeah. I read that last week. How did we go from being the lowest infected rate in NYC to the highest??"
Part of it is testing bias. Higher socioeconomic areas get tested more often during surges because for multiple reasons (better access to testing being a major one). There are high rates acro

Lin to direct film adaptation of Tick Tick Boom Nov 21
2021, 05:02:30 PM
I disagree completely. I think these musicals were specifically being referenced.
The actors from Rent are still dressed as an ode to the show. Renee and Phillipa are in coral and green. Brian Stokes is in a suit not unlike Colehouse’s. All of this was done with purpose. It’s all too perfect to be a coincidence. So yes I misspoke and they’re not all characters in the literal sense but they’re certainly representations of these characters and shows. &nb

Yeah, that was distracting. She and Chita looked a little out of place while the rest of them looked like New Yorkers at a diner at Sunday brunch."
I thought that was the point!
Everyone’s gasping about the cameos but it’s not just who is in the scene, it’s more about why they’re in it. Each cameo is dressed as the mus

Another plea here! Preferably looking for 2 tickets but would also happily accept 1 and pay a pretty penny if you're looking to sell/get rid of any!

I rushed this on Tuesday and the seats were fantastic - center Orchestra row N. I think they may have been cancellations due to the storm because the tickets had someone else's name on them, though the BO printed them right there and the price still said $35.
Agree with what most have said here. Rob McClure is giving a fantastic performance and is pretty much the only reason I'd tell someone they should see this show. The book is funny and I think they did a good job at respect

9/14/21 Reopening Nights Thread Sep 15
2021, 01:33:02 PM
I was at the Reopening of Hamilton and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Standing ovation for Lin, who gave a very short but heartfelt speech before the show began (which I'm sure most have seen online). There were extended applause for every actor's initial entrance in the opening number. Standing Ovations after several numbers (My Shot, Yorktown, One Last Time, to name a few).
This performance was unlike anything I've ever seen. It felt like bo

HAMILTON on Disney Plus Nominated for Two Golden Globes, Including Best Picture Feb 3
2021, 09:51:45 AM
What's the surprise? It's a film of a musical that was nominated in the Best Musial or Comedy Film category. It seems appropriate.
I think the bigger surprise is James Corden snagging a nomination for Best Actor.

I could be mistaken but I thought she had left by the time this was filmed. Elizabeth Judd, who replaced ERL in the track is also listed in the credits, so who kn

As much as I love Billy Porter as a performer, he was pretty horrendous on the Oscar red carpet this year. I don't think hosting the Tonys would appeal to his strengths. Have him lead the opening a la Janelle Monae? That I'm all for!

I agree. Regardless of the horrible acts that occurred at the ballet (not everything is beautiful at the ballet, I guess), he was the weakest part of this production of West Side Story. His voice is horrible and compared to Isaac, Shereen, and Yesenia, he had the stage presence of a wet
