Re: A FEW GOOD MEN Previews
This was a tough sit for act one, so I fled at intermission. My take on what I saw? Toothless and musical theatre-ified. Really nothing to recommend here, sorry to say.

Re: Rumor Roundup - Potential Additions to This Season
The only real “done deal” is Benjamin Button. There’s 0% chance this doesn’t sneak in by April.
Mona Pirnot’s “I Became We” at Atlantic Theater Company
I Love You So Much I Could Die was one of the most emotionally devastating pieces of theatre I’ve ever seen. This sounds similar, in that it’s using a distancing effect (a computer voice vs. a chorus of 16) to tell an individual person’s story, and I’m very interested in seeing it for that reason alone.
Re: Reimagined THE FANTASTICKS will open on Broadway this fall
quizking101 said: "According to some friends of mine working on the show, he is really surprising a lot of people who were doubters in the beginning, so I also choose to be optimistic about this."Do your friends know that you spill their behind-the-scenes tea on message boards about cast/crew doubting the performing abilities of one of their lead actors as they head into tech?
Re: A FEW GOOD MEN Previews
Considering a refund for theoretical sightlines based on a single set photo of a show that starts previews in an hour and a half. Hilarious stuff.

A thin, strained voice on a song that’s fairly easy to sing if you have the range, and that weird BFA in Music
Re: SPRING AWAKENING revival (Off-Broadway at Studio Seaview)
While they’ll be long gone by the time general onsale goes live tomorrow, I’m impressed they kept the ticket price brackets relatively the same. I was easily able to snag a couple $79 seats in March once I got the email. A bargain, considering I had to cough up more than I’d planned to during the last presale for early February seats.
A FEW GOOD MEN Previews
I’ll be there next Tuesday and looking forward to it. I’m mostly curious to see how Michael Arden and his design team use the Beaumont’s expansiveness. This isn’t a play that screams “deep stage and high fly space” to me, but I’m always interested to see what directors do with the space.

Re: THE LOST BOYS Reviews
quizking101 said: "I don’t think shows in huge theatres are betting on long runs these days unless they are legacy shows (Wicked, Lion King). Some might get lucky, but in the state of affairs since COVID, big shows (even critically acclaimed/awarded ones) can’t hack it financially"While that’s true of most shows opening on Broadway these days (there’s no way Titanique’s producers thought they had a chance at recouping), it’s not the case here. A show the size of Lost Boys was definitely hopin...

MEMOIRS OF AMOROUS GENTLEMEN (Off-Broadway) - Duncan Sheik
Take Sam Mendes’s Cabaret, toss it in a blender with The Great Comet, add a dash of Crunchyroll and Moulin Rouge, microwave for 90 minutes, and whaddyagot? Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen, of course!First things first: Duncan Sheik’s score is far and away the star here. It’s not all amazing and it longs for the work that a preview period would afford – his love of immediate, obvious rhymes and musical pauses is all too present – but it more often than not captures the ache and immediacy that Lea...

Anyone planning to see this?I’ll be there Monday and really looking forward to it. It’s a very Duncan Sheik autumn.

Official: Jamie Lloyd's EVITA to open on Broadway in Spring 2027
Good for Ángel Lozada! His voice and general presence was a highlight of Oratorio for Living Things.Curious what took them so long to announce Diego and James, considering it has been a totally open secret since they announced the revival. I assume just for marketing reasons, but I doubt anyone was holding back on buying until they were officially on board.
Megan Hilty Replacing in Established Broadway Show?

Re: Duncan Sheik has died at 56
Heartbroken. An incredibly talented musician and, by all accounts, a good guy. It goes without saying, given my handle on here, but he’s part of a work of art that fundamentally changed my life and I’m so grateful for that. I’m sure this production of Spring Awakening will be dedicated to him now in some way.
