MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT Returns to Broadway - Opening Night Reviews
 Feb 2 2024, 11:05:55 AM

Seems to be very common with this production, with alot of people taking shows off, i went 2 weeks ago and  Urie and Slater were both out.

Leslie by far is the key to this show, one of my favs.

Inglehart was very likable.

Brightman is ok, i always liked him in everything he does but i have seen better Lancelots. Rick Holmes from the 1st run at the Shubert was AMAZING.

The Hebert scene (Which is my Fav) totally lost its comedy, the only scene i didnt like in th

Is it me or has Ben been under the weather alot recently. I hope he bounces back and continue to have an amazing actor career, but it seems like since they announced there closing hes sick alot on top of now being out every Monday Performance. Hes such a nice guy i wish him nothing but the best :)

I have no doubt, this the season for being sick but this has been a common discussion with the Phans, he hasn't been himself.

As a big Ben fan, i do support and appreciate everyone's opinion of his performance and really enjoy reading the comments. I do agree when he came into the role what a dynamic voice and acting, he brought to the role, but yes ever since the show came back from Covid he hasn't been the same. 1st off hes missing a TON of Performances, no clue why maybe Hes a bit resentful of the show closing or maybe is pissed that Ramin is coming in to replace him in the final weeks (Just my Theory) lmao no need

Believe me, I understand about performers needing times off and they are never a guarantee. An amazing seat Orchestra K 1) popped up on line at a great last minute price and I checked the website one last time for Wednesday 2/15 at 2pm and it showed Julia would be performing the evening show. I saw on IG that Emile perfo

FANtomFollies said: "I think Ben Crawford has an incredible voice but I find his acting a bit lacking. I don't get much vulnerability from his performance, especially at the end of the final lair when I feel like it's especially important.

And while this may be irrelevant to some, I have an issue with his bad attendance. At a certain point if you can't commit to performing the role on a regular basis, I feel the role should go to someone else who can.
"

I have noticed his attendance has been rather bad since Thanksgiving, my wife and i really enjoy him and that's why it's annoying when you see Hes out on the black board.

Yes, Jeremy Ted Greg and Laird are terrific.

(Not a Phan of Paul's Phantom rather have him as Raoul)

But when you go see the show and tix are very expensive and Hes out 5 out of 6 times in a recent 3 month span yes, we have the right to be annoyed.

My personal opinion is i think Hes kind of pissed off because i have a feeling, he wont be the closing Phantom, and they are bringing in big name for the final push (Cough Cough Ramin)

But like i said its only my opinion and all i know is every time I go with my wife it's getting harder and harder knowing its closing

 


Which shows currently offer partial view?
 Feb 6 2023, 02:10:31 PM

All theaters have partial view, some mark them on telecharge, some they save for rush and others just need to go to the Box office and ask

Past Experience

Lottery 

Phantom

Hamilton

Book of Mormon

Telecharge

Some like it Hot

Box Office

Aladdin (Which i did Sat) saved a fortune and great seats but you need to ask for them lol

Bronson Norris Murphy was on as Raoul, which was interesting since Paul Adam Schaefer was on in minor roles and I thought he would have been Raoul when Crawford was on as the Phantom. I tried to keep an open mind, but Murphy didn't work for me at all. His persona was really c

Paul Schaefer said on his Instagram he was doing 5 shows as Raoul shows then 4 as Phantom. It looks like he did Friday and both Saturday shows. Unless someone else is covering, Ben should be there!

Im really surprised how many people have so many reviews of Ben recently, i usually see the show once a month with my wife and the past 2 times we saw Ted and Jeremy go on.

The times i did see Ben i do enjoy his portrayal of the Phantom, but it does seem like from what i heard in audios he does sound different.

Im not the biggest fan of Emelie, i think Julia is a much better Christine.

John Riddle is a great Raoul one of def the better ones in recent years.
