I mean, I just saw him not that long ago at 92Y for much cheaper. The orchestra is nice, but I don't feel the need to go unless there's an exciting lineup of guests.

I also enjoyed War Paint for what it was as well as The Visit and Do I Hear a Waltz. I can see the problems but the cast managed to keep it afloat. My vote is for Flying Over Sunset. Tom Kitt, James Lapine, Michael Korie, Beowulf Boritt and we got... that.

Probably only 4 people had voted at that point. I feel like the Disney shows are getting a boost from the movies as much as the stage shows but interestingly most of these shows have movie adap

Yes, I saw it. It was different from the typical 92Y L&L lecture but the cast spoke directly to the audience between songs giving that background information on Darin. I have to imagine they developed

I go out a lot less than I used to and I see them all the time. For years it was just that one incident where a guy was masturbating near me on the train but in the last couple years it seems like half the time I leave my apartment, I see a penis or ass crack I didn't want to see. At least wi

Darren Criss and Helen J Shen Will Lead MAYBE HAPPY ENDING on Broadway

Alex Kulak2 said: "The video is definitely a fail, weird and uncanny and awkward, but I actually liked the song. Maybe something that shows off Criss and Shen'svoices more might have been smart, but the song they used had a pretty melody, insightful lyrics. It's got me interested to check out the rest of the show"
It felt like a more credible musical theater song than My Favorite Love Story. But then, I didn't have to listen to that tortured banter f

Absolutely insufferable. So smug and self-satisfied.

I mean, if I've learned anything from Martha-Ann Alito, it's that white women (the protestors) apparently love communicating through flags.

Seems like there are a lot of tweens voting and skewing the results.
Don't forget Les Mis won the last bracket. The snobs (I count myself as one) get outvoted and there's a strong recency bias. Frozen easily beating Caroline, or Change hurts my heart. How are Funny Girl and Mean Girls even close?

Count me in the group who was glad to finally see this staged but not impressed by more than the singing and orchestra. I did not realize just how stacked the cast was but they couldn't completely cover up the issues in the material. I don't necessarily need fewer characters but it's difficult to fully empathize with such a large group except as victims of a disaster at the very end... which didn't really require a whole show to get us there.

I keep seeing ads during Amazing Race and I wish I'd been watching from the beginning. Is it episodic enough for me to just jump into a random episode? Or should I wait to get Paramount+ and watch from the beginning? I've never seen The Good Wife/Fight.
