Broadway Flash said: "I did not like the trailer at all. Everyone lookssad and depressed. The witches don’t seem like winners. And why on earth did they cast Jonathan Bailey in this"

I'm guessing because he's an Olivier winning musical theater performer who starred on the most watched English-language show of the most popular global streaming service in the world... and that he's handsome and hell.

I have been cautiously optimist

Saw one of the final previews. The cast was astonishing, their dancing was perfectly crisp, athletic, thrilling to watch, without a single missed beat and they were 100% in sync while also letting their own uniqueness shine through. Some standout performers were Kolton Krouse (stunning charisma, playful and mischevious) and Manuel Herrera ('Mr Bojangles' almost moved me to tears right out the gate). The performers got a mid-show standing ovation from several audience members in act 2.

Hey everyone! Would you recommend this as a fun and heartwarming show to take my mom to for her 60th birthday? My mom and I have always gone to Broadway shows together and was just curious what some other theater fans might think. Thanks!

Having seen this last night I would answer that question with a resounding 'Yes'! Heartwarming is exactly how I would describe it.

I hadn't seen the previous iteration but it was very much on my radar given the excellent wo

There are a whole lot of other people involved in a production besides the cast. She bashes the director, designers, writers--all of whom are her co-workers and fellow artists. So just because she says "I like the cast" doesn't excuse her for talking down about all the other members of the company."

Fair, there are more involved than just the cast. I just truly didn’t read her comments about the directors or the productio

In reading the interview I don't think Porkalob is "publicly trashing" or "bashing the people she works with" at all. I do think that they are sharing specific, pointed critiques of discrete moments/directorial choices in the show. It's certainly unusual to see performers share those thoughts, but I'm in agreement with those who find this candor refreshing!

Also given statements they made like "I also think that they cast the best people for the rol

Then again, Geoge Bernard Shaw continues to ignore my texts that "Pygmalion" needs more of the titular half-pig/half-chameleon monster, and th

I went Saturday night. I was super excited going into it and unfortunately left feeling a bit let down. That said it was super early previews so hopefully things pick up over the next few weeks!

The good: A+ acting from Jackson, Houdyshell, Pedro Pascal and Ruth Wilson- the latter in particular doing amazing work as Cordelia/The Fool.

I personally enjoyed the Philip Glass live orchestrations and did not find them distracting.

Michael Arden as Cornwall'

I caught his debut last night! One of the other threads mentioned that for whatever reason Laura Benanti WAS going on that Tuesday, and TodayTix had reasonable tickets so I was able to catch this performance.

Danny brought a lot of joy to the role, and I expect he'll continue to fill it out as his run progresses. He had some great physical humor (particularly when he goes to Higgins' home) and I found his final scene with Eliza quite touching. My one gripe would be that during
