I agree 100% with the previous poster. Tonight's show was delightful. Carmen showed amazing vocal versatility throughout the set and the audience LOVED her. I can't wait to see what comes next, and after that, for her

I saw Austin Smith as Burr in April and liked him a lot. My take is that since he didn't have the star power of Leslie, his performance was more self-contained, interior rather than all out. Even The Room Where it Happened was less exuberant and more almost brooding. My one quibble is that his voice was not as distinctive as Leslie's so sometimes it was hard to recognize that the vocal lines were his. All in all a very worthy substitute.

Is the app TodayTix reliable?

I'm a big fan of Today Tix for the convenience and time savings although their prices aren't anything special. . I use the app all the time and have never had a problem. Since I often go alone to shows I've gotten some really great seats.

I saw Waitress with Jessie Mueller. I thought it was a dull musical with music that all sounded alike. Jessie was fine but did not rescue the material. I particularly disliked the three shreaky ballads at the end of the musical that Mueller got to sing. (insert eyeroll here) I couldn't wait til those songs and this musical ended

I was there tonight and was completely enchanted! It's a lovely production, the cast were great, and Carmen Cusack blew the roof off. I was in the Mezz which was pretty full. Today's tix was doing a brisk business and the concierge guy said demand is way up post Tony noms. I wish this show all the best.

I saw it on Monday. There is so much talent on the stage and the first act was enjoyable, featurung creative tap and strong vocals (duh) from Audra and BSM. The second act totally lost me. It was meandering and untimely pointless. Billy Porter's blues number was impressive, but other than that for me the conclusion had no emotional impact. Tweaking doesn't seem to be enough. Maybe radical surgery, like incorporating bits iof act 2 into act 1 and creating a&

Leslie Odom Jr - out sick this week?

I was there last Thursday and reacted differently. At first I was thrown because Austin Smith's voice is lower than Leslie's and blended in with the other vocals so much that Burr got a little lost for me. But as the performance went on I thought he was very effective at portraying Burr's hesitancy and indecision. Leslie is such a star that it's hard to see the ambivalence in his portrayal although the lyrics get you there. I was very disappointed that leslie was out, but was
