Caught this last night - Didn't really like it. I knew the basic plot of the book but have never read it or seen the movie.

Let's start with the things I enjoyed: Ghee, it goes without saying, is incredible. Great comedic timing from them, and some genuinely funny one-liners as well. The idea of the audience being the author was really cool, I think it's a great way for them to sort of "overexplain" some plot points to make the plot clearer. I want to go against t

Saw this last night and enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away.

I've never seen (or even heard of before buying tickets) the movie, so I don't know the references and everything, but as people have said, this show is a lot of fun. The book has some great one-liners, which is refreshing after the disastrous cringey stuff that adaptions like Tootsie and Beetlejuice are passing off as jokes (IMO). 

The music, unfortunately, didn't do it for me. Thinking ba

Well, the defense seems to be "Removing everything deeply relevant to the world and time we are living in, everything meaningful or creatively exciting from one of the greatest and most widely-read American novels ever and treating the audience like absolute idiots, is just supposed to be FUN. Why can't something just be FUN?" Because terrible, cynically assembled musicals a

So going into this tonight I was happy it was only 90 mins - in and out and then I'll have seen everything this season. As we stood up, my friend asked if I was ok. I guess I had been audibly sobbing, my face totally wet. I haven't been moved by something to this degree in quite a while. And like I

Jordan Catalano said: "I went last night and while I liked it well enough, my friend absolutely loved it. So I wasn’t sure what reviews would look like.
I did kind of stop for a second whilewatching Carell and Harper, stars of two do the greatest tv shows of all time on stage together and just took a second to recognize how damn cool that was."

Totally agree - I'd never seen the show before and thought it was great in terms of the play itself and perfo

Scarywarhol said: "Its is more akin to the Times Square tourist trap model of Madame Tussaud's or Spyscape than actual New York museums showcasing art and knowledge, and this is what's such a bummer. Even or especially if it closes fast, how long does this delay our ever getting a real performing arts museum? So many dreams of what that could look like. For now, folks who want that are better off going to the Lincoln Center library when they have an exhibit on."

the audience went nu

Wow, that was amazing!! 

80 minutes of non-stop hilarity - a great mix of stupid sexual jokes and genuine funny camp, one of my favorite shows I've seen in a long time. So glad I was able to catch this, hope I'll be able to see it again one day.

That being said, the seating in this theater is ATROCIOUS. I know it's been said on here, but I was in the back orchestra and could literally see everyone in the theater moving their heads constantly trying to see around
