Re: CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Broadway Cast Recording Thread

Kad said: "The issue I’m having with it is that, divorced from the visuals and experience, this just sounds like another production of Cats but with more character voices. There is no sense of reinvention or even how exciting this was onstage. It also just highlights how much further they could’ve gone with the orchestrations and arrangements."This. For a production with SUCH a distinct and unique POV, this track sounds strangely ordinary? Not that it's bad - it's not at all! It's just missin...

It actually didn't bother me and I didn't see it as an acknowledgement of Lin himself, per se - more as a nod to the original production and the fans of it. Somewhat in the same vein as the final frame of "Wicked: For Good."I had issues with

The sound design is one of the worst I’ve heard at City Center - and that’s saying something.

I thought this was mostly exceptional. It took me a bit to get into (although that opening sequence is more terrifying than anything in PARANORMAL ACTIVITY), but once the plot really got going, I was all in. Christopher Dylan White is giving a stunner of a performance, matched by an equally memorable Zachary Desmond. A couple of walkouts around me, but that's their loss. Flaws and all, I highly recommend rushing to grab a ticket to the final extension.

Re: Falsettos Reunion Concert

That was an unforgettable evening, but we really need to have a conversation about audience behavior.In the balcony, at least, the (VERY young) crowd was all but having a competition over who could scream, sniffle, sob, clap, or "awww" the loudest. An engaged and responsive audience can be integral to what makes theater so special, but this crowd was just plain self-indulgent and performative. They were also seemingly unable to sit still (checking phones, chatting, digging through their bags,...

THE HEART previews (Off-Broadway)

Oct 16, 2026 — 11:56:52 AM

This show had me hooked for the first 15-20 minutes, but it gradually settled into something frustratingly safe - and ultimately toothless. The end result felt like a facsimile of what a "modern musical" is "supposed" to sound and look like, rather than a production with its own distinct pulse (pun intended). While entertaining enough on the surface, it never came close to achieving the gut-level emotional honesty and resonance of something like NEXT TO NORMAL.The cast is solid across the boa...

I still think about the most recent, blistering Broadway revival of GOLDEN BOY and I'd love to see this production. After VANYA, I fully trust Sam Yates at the wheel of this play.The fact that Seth Numrich wasn't even Tony-nominated will forever haunt me. What a performance.

Daniel Fish: KRAMER/FAUCI starring Will Brill & Thomas Jay Ryan

Oct 5, 2026 — 10:42:46 PM

Rush to see this at St. Ann’s, especially if you missed it earlier this year. Thomas Jay Ryan is giving a volcanic yet emotionally measured stunner of a turn here. His performance has only grown in resonance since February. And what a treat to get to experience this show in an intimate space like St. Ann’s. Sit as close as you can for the optimal experience, in my opinion. But ultimately, wherever you sit, don’t miss this. Well worth the schlep to Brooklyn.

Absolutely heartbreaking. I realize it’s hardly a rarity to say SPRING AWAKENING was very formative for me, but it also speaks to how impactful that musical was and continues to be. May his legacy live on.
