Also, I know it’s pretty beloved on here, but Two Strangers doesn’t have the praise or word-of-mouth that Gentleman’s Guide or Maybe Happy Ending did, does it? Overall, reviews were mixed-to-positive. And while I certainly know people who loved it, I also know people who were unmoved by it. MHE definitely seemed more lovingly received on a whole, but it’s hard to know with things as subjective as this.

 

Also, coming off of Schmigadoon&rsqu

I'm very interested to see what happens to Chess's grosses when Lea Michele leaves. I'm a bit surprised they're even replacing her given how much they dropped when she was out. I like JoJo a lot, but does she have enough pull?

 

I'm also wondering if we might be nearing the end of the road for Death Becomes Her. The numbers aren't especially bad, but when you factor in what sound like incredibly high running costs, they could be in trouble.

Also caught it last night. A bit devastated to miss Evans, but Soileau was terrific in his first outing as Frank. 
 

Overall, I was mixed on the cast. Dratch, Durand, and Rivera, I found terrific. Lewis and Rodriguez, both of whom I quite like, were less effective for me. 
 

It’s an enjoyable production. Will I spend serious bucks to go back and try to catch Evans? Possible, though I’m not certain. Will say that the callouts were moderat

There are several plays I haven’t seen yet (Proof, Joe Turner, The Balusters, Fear of 13), but based on what I HAVE seen, my top 3 are Manville, Metcalf, and Flood. I don’t think either of the latter two are locks for various reasons, but I did find both to be extraordinary. 
 

Much as I love Carrie Coon, Bug is a pretty divisive show. I would guess that she’s getting nominated, but I don’t realistically think she’s going to be the winner he

But actually...watching it I wondered where she got a guitar from."

Ray Ray came in with the guitar in its case. Sonny opened it, and my sense was that either he expected a weapon OR they were going to use it to carry cash, but the guitar was in there. Which leaves unanswered questions but addresses the mechanics of how the g

Curious to hear if anyone knows whether they tend to ask people in the same areas to be the same audience participants. For example, I was in the balcony on the aisle when a woman with the production asked my friend and I if we would be comfortable participating from our seats and speaking with volume when called on. We both panicked and declined! So I don’t know if we would have gotten specific answers to shout out to the list or whether we would have provided our own.

I do think there have been a few too many musicals of late where the set design didn't feel like minimalism was a design choice so much as a budget concern. We see this a lot with revivals that start at Encores. The current Ragtime is stunning, but to me that is true in spite of its design which doesn't add much to the show. The Into the Woods and Once Upon a Mattress revivals similarly felt underbaked in terms of set design.

 

For me, this season's most disappo

Like most, I think Levy is in the lead at present. But I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if Marla Mindelle pulled it off for Titanique. I think she's the singular reason the show worked as well as it did. She's a force in the show. It will just come down to whether folks this she and/or the show are just too unserious.

 

With the Mazzie/Levy comparisons, I think it's tough that Mazzie was extraordinary in the original but didn't win the Tony. If one thin
