A. You said you never saw the stage show so that speaks for itself. lol. 
 

B. I’m assuming this movie is way out of your age range, and that’s okay. Retire with dignity. Let us Gen Z enjoy it without your ugly, outdated critiques that mean nothing. 

I am 67 and I loved the musical and thought Renee on Broadway was a revelation. To assume a retired person like myself cannot enjoy or "get" this because I

I saw Lea and was blown away but her entire performance. I have seen bootlegs of both Julie and Beanie and can tell you that I thought Julie was good and Beanie could not sing. But Kat is singing the sh-t out of this. Unreal finally someone else who can blow the roof off the theatre the way Lea did. Julie was good but she didn't blow me away vocally...Kat does that and her vibrato at the end of DROMP is killer.....finally another person who can really sing this as good as it needs to be.

I have seen Chicago 8x with 8 different Roxies and finally last month I was able to be in NYC when Charlotte was on. I have always wanted to see her in this and funny timing was always off. I can honestly say she was the best Roxy I have seen , funny , cute and in fine voice. The people I was with never heard of her and were thrilled by her .  I don't recall Gwen Verdon or Ann Reinking having great voices but they had fine careers due to the presentation and interpretation of the son

So she went to the beach...what does laying in the sun have to do with her voice not being good enough to sing. I think that if the Funny Girl team didn't announce it every time she was under the weather , then there would be no controversy , but they think that it helps get people prepared for either refunding or just going to see Julie and that really is kind of a good thing. Would I have been disappointed ..yup...it happened to me with Song and Dance ,.Bernadette was out and I just got

I took my opinion down as I was accused of sounding antisemitic...I do not ever ever want to come across as being antisemitic because I don't agree with the need for a jewish person to play a jewish person. Having grown up in a predominantly Jewish city outside of Boston I am well aware that it is not just a religion but a ethnicity. I hate to think what I said would be taken as such. I just meant that this is an actor playing a part and all actors should be considered regardless. I may h

Finally finally finally got the chance to see Charlotte D'Ambois last Saturday night , after 20 something years of seeing this show 8x and many very good Roxies...Charlotte is the queen, she was original yet stuck to the structure of Fosse , her spins during Roxie were just amazing. I can see why after all this time she is the standard and the go-to person when they need a Roxie fill in. Her interaction with the audience was hysterical. I have seen her in CATS and Song and Dance and she a

I paid 500.00 per ticket for Feb 4th performance and have not regretted it one bit. Lea and cast were so good I felt that I was watching a performance that will affect me always.  It was magical and beyond spectacular. If I had the time I would see it again and again and pay whatever I could to do so. I have have seen hundreds of Broadway performances some of them exceptional  , some of them blah but this is in the top 2/3 in my theater going experiences. If you can afford it think

I saw this with Lea and can honestly say I did not for one second think of Barbra as I was watching it. I am not a Glee fan so I do not have the history of Lea/Rachel thing going in. She was fantastic and blew the roof off the theater. A truly great performance. I have seen Julie. on line and she is good but she seems to talk a lot during some of the songs using a ny accent that sounds strained to my ear. I like her but she is the Stand by for a reason, she seems to be lacking the "star&

When Reba took over Bernadette had won a Tony and the show ran for about a year with her. It was not a mess like Funny Girl was. Reba was fantastic but Funny Girl was basically about to close because the "star" was miscast and the show was not sustaining. and it was only 6 months into the run. I think Lea deserves all the kudos for saving this show with her performance. It was quite a different  circumstance than Rebas! I saw Reba btw and it was one of my favorite Broadway memo

I watched the movie for the first time in years and was surprised how much I didn't enjoy most of it. It was always up there as one of my favorite films and I love Barbra every time she opens her mouth. I found the movie kind of dull/. orchestrations sounded too Hollywood..the OBC album is full of life and crazy good and sounds so much better than the movie cast album to me. I was amazed how whiney she was. and kind of pathetic, something I never noticed before, and Omar was just meh! &nb
