I just saw this tonight and Katerina is a fantastic Fanny. What a voice. I agree that the Nick was kind of blah. He had a good voice but didn’t stand out.

I saw this at the Old Globe and absolutely loved it. I am so glad it will be at LCT. I hope we get a cast recording.

Center Theatre Group will stop programing the Mark Taper Forum, due to increased production costs & reduced revenue. Jun 15
2023, 06:34:40 PM
I am so sad to hear this too. I am an Ahmanson subscriber - but always see the shows at the Taper as well. It is such a great space. Slave Play was well sold and broke box office records - but the rest of the shows this season haven’t been.

TRANSPARENT musical (based on the TV series) to premiere at the Mark Taper Forum in 2023, directed by Tina Landau Jun 11
2023, 08:58:35 PM
I saw it a couple weeks ago and agree completely with the above review. There are some excellent performances and songs - but the book has too many many stories going on. It needs A LOT of editing to make it more focused and cohesive.

Theater Gunshots Nov 19

My son and I just saw The Inheritance part 2 at the Geffen a few days ago. We are both pretty sensitive to gunshots and loud noises and don’t remember anything that bothered us. No gunshots.

COME FALL IN LOVE - THE DDLJ MUSICAL Coming To Broadway During 2022-2023 Season Oct 24
2022, 02:44:24 AM
I saw it last weekend and agree it is such a joyous show. I still find myself humming the title song and a couple other songs. Shoba is radiant as Simarin and Austin has found the balance between charming, sweet and clueless as rich boy Rog. I loved the choreography and the costumes. The show is really tight. I didn’t notice any spots where it drags. And Jack Sippel as the Porter was so much fun. It is Broadway ready and I hope it heads there an

The Prom tour is listed as an union tour on the Actor’s Equity site. Regardless, I have not heard good things about the tour cast. I saw it on Broadway and loved it. But I think I will skip the tour.

Since we didn’t have a song list on Saturday, I am not completely sure of all the song names. But ai am pretty sure neither Let it Burn or Spinning were in this iteration.

LEMPICKA Pre-Broadway at LaJolla - News & Discussion Thread Jun 27

It starts with her sitting on a bench in Los Angeles in 1975 looking back on her life and then it goes to Russia in 1917 - I believe. They don’t show the wedding and I don’t believe that song is still in there. It shows them already married and discussing the revolution.

LEMPICKA Pre-Broadway at LaJolla - News & Discussion Thread Jun 26

I saw Lempicka yesterday. I didn’t see it in Williamstown but have heard some snippets and was looking forward to the show based on the creative team and cast. I enjoyed it so much and have been thinking about it since. The longer I have let it sit and thought about it, the more I like it. Those are my favorite type of shows - the ones that continue to make me think. There are definitely some ways in which it could be tightened to make i

Thank you for the report. I can’t wait to see it later this month.

Moulin Rouge Seats May 3

We sat in row G seats 1&3 and thought it was a great view. We really didn’t miss anything important on the catwalk and there was lots of legroom. The usher seating is said they were his favorite seats.

Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know? Apr 11

We sat in seats H1 and H3 house left and had a great view. They are right by the walkway to get in, so no one is directly in front of you and there is lots of leg room.

Inexpensive Theatre District Food Recommendations? Apr 9

At that price range, Joe’s Pizza near Times Square is great for a slice. I also really like Red Poke.

Beanie Feldstein in FUNNY GIRL on Broadway - News & Discussion Thread Mar 27
2022, 09:41:19 AM
Were her vocals perfect? No. But they didn’t distract me and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. And I have certainly been distracted by bad vocals at other shows in my life. I heard people talking as we left the theater and comments were positive.

Shaina Taub's SUFFS at the Public to feature Phillipa Soo, Nikki M. James, Jenn Colella, Grace McLean, Taub, and more Mar 28
2022, 06:29:14 PM
I saw it during our trip last week and loved it. Of the shows that we saw, that was the one I couldn’t stop thinking about. For me, Shaina Taub, Nikki M. James, Hannah Cruz, Tsila Brooks, Grace McLean, and Phillipa Soo were standouts - but the entire cast is wonderful. I am so happy that Grace McLean has continued to do theater. I I still have so many of the songs going through my head.

THE MUSIC MAN Previews Mar 25
2022, 06:23:19 PM
I was there too on Wednesday. It looked like she initially accidentally whacked him with a hat during Marian the Librarian and they got the giggles. And then she pushed him too hard in a later scene. It was fun to see the two of them having so much fun.
