Considering hundreds of RNs at my workplace got the vaccine and no one died, and that in my circle of acquaintances no one died, and the fact that there is no such thing as 'turbo cancer", I thin Mr. Levi can look for another line of work. 

Assuming I will wake up around 2AM like I always do,I will probably log in to read your reports. Have fun, everybody!

 

I just got 2 tickets in dress circle on the side for $219 Sat Matinee, but wow, there was maybe 10 seats available in the whole theater. (okay I might be exaggerating, but still). I thought that maybe I just wasn't doing this right. 

Are they just not releasing all the tickets, or are scalpers buying them up?

This + Merrily + Sweeney is a fall Sondheim trifecta."

#goals!

Tempted to go to NY just to see Julie. I just don’t trust the airlines right now that a scheduled flight will actually fly. Also, NYC in August is not my favorite time (heat). 

I started watching it on Netflix. At first I was appalled at it, and then got hooked in. It’s a totally campy hoot. Love the Barbara Cartland character, and the “debut” of James Hewitt was hilarious. I am returning to NYC in January and have one show slot to fill, I’m thinking I may have to see it in person.

A diversión from viruses and politics.

 

It always amazes me how these posts become so contentious and devolve into insults sometimes. I think I’ll go back to Reddit.

I’m curious who or what is now responsible or owns his whole catalog of music and shows. His husband? (Who we don’t hear much about). A trust? Who controls the estate? 

Based on the reviews and the photos here, I am going to pass. I did not realize how much  video was involved, seems to overwhelming for me. Video seems to be this new thing directors are using to "reimagine" show, including Oklahoma. (I thought Oklahoma was terrible and the video misplaced.). In "Network" it was very effective and relevant, but it looks here like we are just watching a jumbotron instead of a show. 

And what's with the rain? I saw "View from a Bridge" and also thought that was weird weird weird. (I know, "get off my lawn"  Again, I loved "Network", but geez, put the damn video camera down for this. 

Want creativity? Go see Hadestown. (and there is no video in it).

Same here. God, I love the score. Book not so much 

 

Great Comet--saw it just the week before it closed. Scott Stangland played Pierre and was great. Also, loved Shuffle Along, I feel blessed that I saw it before it closed. Fabulous talent and dancing. I know, the book was a little convoluted, but still!

 

 

Recently went to NYC with a friend who has cancer and this was kind of her "farewell tour". (I know, depressing). We chose Come From Away and Beautiful, both fun, and Come From Away is so uplifting. It's pretty hard to not get excited during Come From Away.

I saw it in Chicago, maybe there were changes for New York, but I just couldn't get into it. It was built up as "the funniest show in a long time", but I just felt lukewarm about it, maybe the whole subject matter just bothered me. 

To be honest, I think that there could be understudies for both Euridice and Orpheus. HOWEVER, I can't imagine there being an understudy for Hermes. Andre deShields is just so fantastic I would be quite upset to see his understudy. (I really NEED to go back to NYC to see it again!!)
