Same here. I priced it out and it was just a bit too much. If it had been anywhere in the continental USA I would have gone! I was really hoping it would be a success.
As I've said before in posts, I'm a die-hard Sarah fan, but I can constructively criticize with some additional perspective.
The last time she was in a run of traditional show was when she did a few straight plays in the UK, from 1992-1995.
From that point on, she's had absolute, meticulous creative control over her albums, photo sessions and concert tours. She's at a point where her tours are almost robotic. Any time she talks to the audience, she's re

You could see that she changed the shape of her mouth, making it more rounder as she sang, and actually produced a different sound because of how she breathed and placed each note. This affected her diction.
I would line up in a heart beat to see this train wreck because there is no
I saw the Cleveland regional premiere of "American Psycho" in October, 2022. It was staged in a very small studio theater, inside a large industrial building, which had been converted into a bunch of art galleries and studios. It worked really well in an intimate environment and felt immersive.
Jordan Catalano said: "I’m about two hours into the 48 hour run time of the audio book. I still can’t believe she recorded the entire thing - I’m dying to know how long it took.
Right?? Think of how many takes she must have done. How many times did she listen back to the recording, only to re-record a particular line until she was completely satisfied with everything?
I wonder how much creative input she'll have when it comes to this production. She's notoriously headstrong when it comes to the staging, design and production of her own concert tours, photos, album art and music videos. She also famously works with the same makeup people, costume designers and photographers on a consistent basis.
For someone who's so used to everyone saying "yes" to her, I would imagine there must have been some concessions built int
There’s now a teaser video on the show’s social media accounts where Sarah turns up in a car at His Majesty’s Theatre. She hesitates before walking out onto the stage, as if she thinks the Phantom is about to jump out and get her.
Per a social media post by the local presenter, Playhouse Square, this afternoon's matinee in Cleveland was canceled "Due to a medical emergency with one of the principal cast members."
As of now they say "Tonight's evening performance is scheduled to go on as planned."
That recent interview is amazing! This is an extremely rare appearance by Ms. Johns. Glad to see she’s happy, enjoying herself, and still full of life. I love that she shows off her much deserved Tony Award!
I'm confused by what Lloyd Webber really had to lose in this situation.
I'm assuming Glenn Close and the production had already been decently/favorably reviewed in Los Angeles, especially since the company was in the process of leaving for New York.
Would negative reviews of Faye Dunaway merely replacing in the Los Angeles production have affected or threatened the show's success on Broadway that much?
Perhaps someone could clarify the potential impact for me.
