Are attitudes towards bootleg recordings changing?
 Aug 7 2025, 11:45:50 AM

It pretty much changed during the lockdown pandemic when actors of shows were asking for bootlegs on their social media ...

Gypsy isn't anywhere close to recouping right?

I think with Sunset it's the orchestrations that sounded great. Too often Broadway orchestras go for that brassy sound. The Sunset orchestra seemed to use more strings.

RippedMan said: "To me most shows sound so quiet and distant. Just saw the beauty and the beast tour here and thought the same thing. Whatever they did at sunset should be studied. The orchestra sounded so good."

I thought the Merrily We Roll Along revival also had excellent sound mixing.

Jonathan Groff too. I also read somewhere that —aside from some pre-schedu

Merrily I thought was very successful.

I also have to say: I found the Tony campaign for Audra to be the most obnoxious I've ever seen. I know that this is the show's job to hustle for Tony's, but all those articles that pretty much were advertisements for her turned me off. I don't blame Audra for any of this. The show's producers decide these things. But it was obnoxious, especially as the Tony campaign in May was when her attendance started flagging the most.

One thing that I noticed about the social media discourse was that everything she posted on IG because "YASSS QUEEN" and "I cried 20x last night over Rose's Turn" and after awhile it seemed like ... I won't say bots bc I think the people were real, but I wondered if it was people artificially drumming up enthusiasm on social media during the Tony campaign.

Bc the actual word of mouth (meaning the people I knew who saw it and I asked them how it was, and thes

Audra was amazing, but this production was just very mid. Sad it didn't recoup but not surprised.

Damn rough week for Gypsy. 


Anyone seeing Montego as Rose?
 Jul 5 2025, 08:30:38 PM

This thread is kind of dumb. She's subbing for a star on vacation. No one expected her to be Ethel Merman.

Looking forward to reports on Montego Glover this week.
"

9 times in 2 months is approximately once per week. That's not great in such a star-driven vehicle.

It's really hard for me to believe that the way she's singing the score is not causing vocal damage.
"

They should have had an alternate sing one night. It's better than her trying to soldier through 8 shows a week and then calling out a bunch.

two ladies tickets said: "I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but; Snook has never missed a performance and they have never had to cancel a performance which is rare these days on Broadway.

"

Also: she stayed late after EVERY show to stage door. Signed everything for everyone, took selfies, chatted with people. She is such a pro.

I started crying when Nicole mentioned her Ukrainian heritage. Proud of her and out common ancestry today!
"

I didnt know she was of Ukrainian heritage--makes her cavorting with the fascists even more
