I sense no self-entitlement from that article, merely someone being honest and vulnerable about her emotions on an Instagram post and Playbill for some reason picking it up as a news story.

Eh, I still say the best show won (I’m not a fan of Caroline).

I didn’t like it at the Armory. The two folks I was with also didn’t care for it, so you’re definitely not alone.
I haven’t seen it on Broadway, but one of my biggest issues was that it felt swallowed up by the Armory space -

I wouldn’t say I disliked it, per se, but I definitely didn’t like it. It felt like a weird pantomimed production of Godspell a lot of the time.

They can, but they can also be things experienced by people who want to see them but can’t get to New York. And since that way benefits many people and the other way benefits no one, I don’t see a problem with it.

Avenue Q is a much better musical with a far better book and score than Wicked.

I saw the matinee today and loved it. In a NY trip that so far has included Merrily We Roll Along, Kimberly Akimbo, Stereophonic, Mother Play, and Appropriate, this is the best thing I’ve seen all week. It’s hard not to love Rachel McAdams and I honestly think she deserves the Tony for this. But the whole cast is good. April Matthis was my favorite part of The Piano Lesson and she continues to impress here. Brenda Wehle is the other big standout.

I was also at the matinee today. I didn’t expect to like it because I’m not a Sondheim guy and my only other experience with this show was that terrible L.A. production a few years ago, but I thought it was really good. All three leads were impressive.

The question is, why does it bother you when people talk about extensions?

Jesus. They give us something new and fun to do that they absolutely didn’t have to do and that no one is required to participate in and people still complain about it.

VintageSnarker said: "Do people like Company that much more than A Little Night Music? Or have not that many people voted yet?"
That surprised me, too. Not that Company is winning but that it's winning in such a landslide. I've actually never seen either one but I've listened to the cast recordings for both and I much prefer ALNM's score to Company's.

It is a fascinating face-off: a musical written by men based on a popular romance novel written by a woman versus a musical written by women based on a popular romance novel written by a man. It’ll be interesting to see which one comes out on top.

I mean, it’s a three-hour show with a huge cast and set and it costs less than a Broadway show. I’d say their prices are more than reasonable. I’m also not sure what “work&

Devastating news. This show literally changed my life and it’s been a staple of my annual trips to NY for eight years. Bummed I never got to the sixth floor.
