I had a great time! The show was really good, but for me the highlight was the introduction to someone who was a surprise guest. When they introduced Sondra Lee I literally gasped OH MY GOD!

Even though she's the only living (she's 96) cast member from the OG Hello Dolly, I will always think of her as Tiger Lily from the 1960 NBC TV broadcast of Peter Pan starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard. I was born way after that tv show aired, but as a child I would watch it over and o

My husband and I watched from beginning to end and we both agreed it was a very well put together show. One thing that I felt could have been improved were the choices of songs picked to be performed by the casts of the musicals. For many of these shows, this is the only chance they have to give the TV audience a feel for what their show is about. If the right song is performed, it could make people want to see the show and especially if they will be in NYC visiting. I think MHE, BVSC, OMM an

Saw Operation: Mincemeat on 5/3 at the evening performance. I knew what the basic plot was, but I stayed away from checking any of the music or reviews because I wanted to experience it fresh. Well! Until Saturday my favorite musical this year was Maybe Happy Ending, and I still love that show but Operation: Mincemeat is my new fave. I LOVED this show! Not only are the songs great, but the script and the cast are FABULOUS! The 5 actors need to literally wear so many hats, and play so many rol

ElephantLoveMedley said: "I might get crucified for asking this, but are we all really so confident that Maybe Happy Ending is the heavy frontrunner for Best Musical? Death Becomes Her and Buena Vista got the same number of nominations as MHE. Death Becomes Her also edged out Shen in Best Actress to get both of their leads nominated. Buena Vista even got a Special Tony. I honestlythink Best Musical is much more competitivethan some on here believe."

Saw the final performance of ALL IN last night on 1/12/25 with John Mulaney, Richard Kind, Fred Armisen and Chloe Fineman. I didn't know what to expect. My husband and I are big Mulaney fans so we got tickets when they went on sale last December thinking it was a comedic play. We didn't know it would be the actors sitting in chairs the entire time. We went in with open minds. Well. This show was HYSTERICAL. It was absolutely perfect and I don't think these 7 stories could have wor

Saw the 12/01/24 evening performance last night. In my opinion it's fantastic. The entire cast is superb and Audra is just spectacular. For those who say she is miscast, I don't know if they have actually seen her in it or they are just drama queen armchair quarterbacks who just come here to sh*t on everything.... The sets are minimalist, but so what? The cast is what sells this show. Special shout to Leslie Margherita who practically steals every scene she's in. I was thinking it
