I thought it was fun, but not much else. The inherent juxtaposition between the music and the story's setting was cool and fun. I was loving it for the first fifteen minutes, then it started wearing pretty thin for me. The mileage you'll get out of it will probably depend on how much you like the music. I only knew about four of the songs. I agree this should have been no more than ninety minutes long. Costumes the choreography were both great. Rachel York was wonderful. l

My Fair Lady because it's the superior musical imo and the director has a better track record than the director of Carousel. 

Most teenagers today have at least heard of Rent. Most likely they haven't ever seen it or will be able to recognize that song, but many teenagers, especially ones that watch a super pop culture reference heavy show like Riverdale, will be able to tell you what Rent is, or at the very least they will know Seasons of Love. 

I just binge-watched Dawson's Creek on Hulu for the first time, so I am looking forward to this. 

The version that was being talked about for Broadway was the Paris production from 2015, which was based on the movie, not the original Broadway production. I saw it and it was almost identical to the movie. I thought it was truly excellent. I would definitely see it again if it came to Broadway.

YES

Camelot is my all-time favorite musical. I hope it eventually is revived on broadway!

Wish I could have seen this. Those videos were great, thanks for sharing them. "Heart of the Dreamer" and "I Have You" are included on Martin & Brickell's second album, So Familiar, which is basically all reworked songs from Bright Star. "Yes She Did" is on Martin & Brickell's first album. As much as I love Edie's voice, Carmen Cusack singing these songs is just incredible. 

Just got home. I didn't really know much about the show, I had never seen it before and the only song I knew was Memory. I loved it. I thought it was a bizarre, beautiful exercise in tone. The costumes and the lighting were, in particular, excellent. The dancing was fantastic. Not all of the numbers worked for me, for example the train number kind of dragged. Leona Lewis was fine for most of it, but she really sold me when she sang Memory in the second act. 

I have tickets for Thursday night. Didn't see the original so I'm looking forward to it.

I saw the show on 5/27 and I don't remember the audience being silent during the second half. I enjoyed this production very much. The cast was quite good, especially the actress playing Kate. 

I'm going on Thursday

The Day Before Spring Awakening 

Saw this production in Paris last year and it was stunning. The production design and projections were excellent, as were the costumes and rain effect. The dancing was also pretty great.
