The Sunset Blvd. revival beats all of them by a mile, though.

Having now seen Wicked, everything I said about Chu's inability to compose an image and block and light a scene is unfortunately very true. What did surprise me was how incoherent his storytelling is as well. Weirdly disjointed."

I haven't seen Wicked yet but that's exactly how I felt about In the Heights.

I hate 7 o’clock curtains and I hate that they’re taking over. 7 o’clock is dinner time. Why are you starting your show in the middle of dinner time?

Best show: Fun Home

Best Experience: American Idiot with Billie Joe Armstrong as St. Jimmy

I googled the difference and still don't think there's really a difference. Even the dictionary defines "skit" as "a short theatrical sketch or act."

Joesph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - (Pantages Theater, LA, 2014) starring Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo from an early season of American Idol. It was easily the worst thing I have ever seen - although first time seeing that show"

Ah, yes, I also saw that at the Pantages and yes, it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. 

Kimberly Akimbo. It was like watching a bad sitcom with forgettable musical numbers shoehorned in. 

Ragtime and Urinetown top my list of shows I want to see but never have. Too bad I probably won't be able to see these.

Nobody has to do anything and see everything.

But if they did see everything, they would have to mortgage their homes. Was the joke really not clear?

 

Broadway Flash said: "I haven’t seen Jessica Lange yet, but I thought Rachel McAdams was pretty wonderful in Mary Jane. I think I appreciate her performance more now thinking back on it than I did in the theatre. Does anybody think she will beat Sarah Paulson?"

I don't think she will but I hope she does. I found her performance extremely moving, whereas Paulson's performance was very one-note, I felt.

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).

Matt Rogers said: "Does anyone dislike this thing or is justtotal love? I recently saw it and my opinion definitely does not match theraves posted here or from the critics."

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. 

No, of course not, but I think it would do okay. 

hearthemsing22 said: "Why can't things just be special Broadway runs?"

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.
