It must be me, but I took the ending to be something entirely different than most people.
Click Here To Toggle Spoiler Content The whole show was a fantasy. It never really happened, hence all the odd, over-the-top moments and plot points that don't make sense. But it sure was a lot of fun to watch. In fact, I want t

Saw Autumn Hurlbert this afternoon. She did a fine job - much more like Tammy Faye in mannerisms and voice. She even brought a tear to my eye a couple times - voice not as strong as Brayben but she made the show make sense. It’s still a grab bag of lots of different thoughts that don’t all come together, but at least Autumn was a better anchor for everything.

Funny that you mention Leslie Uggams. I thought Audra sounded like Leslie last night.

Another revival with a miscast lead.
Audra’s voice is just wrong for the role. And her take on the part just doesnt reach the level of obsession needed for this character. and Joy is just mediocre. And not at all the star required to be Gypsy.
Lesli is remarkable. I would go back just to see her again.
Sure things will get tighter and better. But theres a lot to work on.

I thought it was very well done. I’m just not a great big fan of Wicked and I can’t imagine sitting through another 2 1/2 hours…of what?
A major casting problem is Errivo. She’s just blank. Her vocals are not impressive also. Grande comes off much better. Bailey scorches the screen.
production design is dazzling. I’m sure the kids will love this. For me it was mostly meh.

OUR TOWN 2024 Broadway Reviews

They repeated the bacon bit in this production too. I just saw tonight and everybody was commenting on how you can smell the bacon in the third act.
This certainly is Our Town for this time. Totally pushed through with little emphasis or nuance or shading, Perfectly works for the disposable world we live in.

I was a bit underwhelmed after tonight's performance. Mostly at the structure of the show itself. But also with a few performances.
You can't beat that original cast. They brought such conviction to the roles and their voices were all stellar. Not so in this cast. And the Encores! bug-a-boo showed its ugly head again...that sound designer/tech should be shot.

ZACKLY!
What type of perfume does Nicole wear?
Does she get nail fungus from walking barefoot?
Is the cameraman/woman cute? Is that sexist?
How does Arnie get his skin so clear?
What does the fake blood taste like?
Why did Nicole smile at the curtain call? Did she get called up from Equity for that?
Aaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

nearly onemonth after saying something like “I don’t care about this production”, but still keeps posting on this thread with nothing constructive . Maybe it is actually true love  "
ABSOLUTELY! I love that so many people are so hoodwinked into thinking this is the second coming. DO YOU HEAR ME???? It's really all I think about! The monkey is making me crazy!!! Can I be a cameraman? Maybe I can get a job as the coke addict in the prologue to "Too Much In Love To Care". I LOVE it, do you hear me? Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhh............

Saw this today for the second time
Even worse this time.
Joe says “it’s only a movie”. I say it feels like Lloyd is saying “it’s only a Broadway musical”.
There is little Connection With the source material, especially with the casting of the leading lady
So what’s the point? - that you can just throw any idea into the mix and some of it works and some doesn’t but that’s the Audiences problem - not the creators.
I felt insulted by this Production

My God....2 1/2 hours of plastic surgery and "look" jokes. Maybe OK for an Act, but this falls apart in the Second Act cause there's nowhere to go. Except eternity, which this dragged on into.
Songwriters again don't know when to end a song. Jason Robert Brown school of songwriting.
And can these Broadway shows find a good Sound Designer and technician or teach the cast to enunciate?!! These lyrics

Here's what I hate:
- The aimless, meaningless-ness of SB
- The current trend of screaming every song at the audience (See GATSBY)
- There's no current musical on Broadway that I get goose-bumps thinking about.
- The new Palace Theatre doesn't honor the "specialness" of that theatre. That entrance!!!
- BACK TO THE FUTURE isn't special enough. Same with many musicals from movies.
- HADESTOWN is just O

Wait....hate doesn't have to be toxic. You just really don't like something. Doesn't mean that you want the hate-ee to die or be destroyed. You just hate it. That's all. Venting...really...

Since it seems that the SUNSET BLVD haters are being severely castigated on the "Official" SB page, can they all just spew their venom on THIS page?
