Um, can't believe I'm jumping into this

I can't believe I'm jumping into this either.  I am aware of the general issue about Asian stereotypes that GeorgeandDot is referring to but for this Asian-American woman, it's mostly an abstract issue rather than one that has a practical effect on my day-to-day life.  What I mean is that the average Broadway audience member who lives in New York or other big city would be exposed

Saw Liana last night after already having seen Eva a couple weeks back.  I saw the criticism in another thread about Eva being too "American Idol-ish" but I would much prefer that to what I saw.

Her belt really wasn't there, the high notes came out either so hoarse and screechy that it was jarring.  It was especially obvious at the end of Last Night of the World and I Still Believe, you couldn't hear her at all anytime Chris/Ellen were singing.  There w

I saw it at Berkeley with Sam Barks and I will be in LA later this month to see it again.

I am planning to see a Thursday matinee so I'm a little worried that Phillipa might be out.  I know she was absent quite a bit towards the end of her run in Hamilton but does anyone know what her attendance was like when Hamilton was in previews last year?  The show isn't too vocally demanding and it would literally be the 3rd week so barring illness, etc, I am thinking I should

It appears the lottery tickets are distributed based on the inventory of seats that have not been sold.  In my case, I saw there wa

The book felt a little off and it didn't help there was no intermission.  I couldn't keep up with some of the plot and the narration was confusing.  The score, while not catchy, was lush and deeply moving.  Even without fully getting what the full context of the plot was(I did
