MAYBE HAPPY ENDING Reviews
 Jan 16 2025, 10:41:18 PM

Just saw this tonight. Word of mouth was correct. A beautiful, heartbreaking show. I love how this musical is not afraid of romance. The scene with the fireflies was maybe the most unabasedly romantic thing I've ever seen in a modern musical.

Had she not gone down such a destructive path, I would have loved to see Whitney Houston do Mama Rose.

In the future, I'd love a Lady Gaga Mama Rose.

So tonight I saw my first ever live Gypsy. I have seen the movie and also listened to several soundtracks, but a live Gypsy is always a special event.

Overall, I loved it! What a great musical! It was three hours long but never felt long. The book just carries you along and there's never a dull moment. There are also no small roles in Gypsy -- everyone is a real character and three dimensional. So I loved, loved, loved seeing it live.

I thought Audra was vocally incredible. I'v

I'm pretty sure the issue is that the standbys and understudies are also sick.


City Centers 24-25: Ragtime, Urinetown, LaChiusa's Wild Party, Love Life

Saw it this afternoon. Wonderful, moving musical. I loved Joshua Henry the most, but also loved Caissie Levy. 

BUT ... this is one of those musicals that peters out in the second act. Was it always so, or is it just this cast?

I went this afternoon. I don;t think the show is that great, but I thought the score was wonderful and the cast was great. Really enjoyed it. The full orchestra made the music sound magnificent.

Stage Door Experiences Lately
 Apr 10 2024, 06:55:26 PM

Went to Enemy of the People today. Stage door was very chill. Everyone came out. Jeremy Strong came out almost immediately and was friendly and down to earth. Pretty much the exact opposite of that New Yorker profile. He said real ice is being used in that scene. Michael Imperioli also came out, as did the rest of the cast. Crowd was very respectful. Good experience.


NY City Center Encores 2024 season: ONCE UPON A MATTRESS with Sutton Foster (adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino), JELLY'S LAST JAM, and TITANIC

I saw Jelly's Last Jam today. What I loved: the performances, the choreography, the music. Especially Nicholas Christopher -- wow! I saw him as Sweeney so i knew he could sing, but it's such a different style and I did not know he could also dance! Also loved Joaquina Kalukango. Only saw her in Slave Play. She was awesome! The tap choreo was amazing too. I also really enjoyed the Morton songs.

I didn't think the actual musical was great though. Ticks all the boxes of a bio-

Hard disagree. I found her hilarious. I found Natalie Gold the weakest of the cast. 

But Fanning has a big following becaus

APPROPRIATE Previews
 Dec 16 2023, 11:35:53 AM

I saw Appropriate on Broadway last night. I went mostly because I love this cast (particularly Elle Fanning) and wanted to see them onstage.

The good: the acting is amazing across the board. Sarah Paulson is everything you'd expect her to be as Toni -- angry, neurotic, bitter. I also LOVED Elle Fanning as the hippy dippy River and Corey Stoll as Bo. But everyone was great across the board, down to the wonderful child actors they had playing Bo and Rachel (Natalie Gold) children. I


Groban & Ashford in SWEENEY TODD On Broadway
 Oct 22 2023, 08:48:14 AM

Is there a reason people keeping saying Aaron Tveit?

And I absolutely love Tveit but isn't he in the totally wrong range for Sweeney? Sweeney is a baritone and Aaron is a tenor.

Wow I'm excited. I literally have rewatched The Great so many times and annoyed my friends by telling them to watch it.

Nick in Funny Girl is a lead but it's a real nothingburger of a role.

How about the fact that so many years later, Book of Mormon is still running, still making money?
