Hot take: it looks like a Trump deigned building with fake gold all over the place. And that center aisle is just … why.

I was there today as well in the last row of the orchestra (Q) and had zero issues hearing anything.
This play overall isn’t great but McAdams was quite incredible. I think her performance is stronger than Paulson but Appropriate is imo a vastly better overall play.
Glad I saw McAdams. I hope she gets a Tony for this role. It is a hard one.
I’d pay all the money for a show with her, Linnie and Parker.

Was there tonight and I greatly enjoyed this production. I disagree with most of the reviews and think they missed something that Heidi pulled out on purpose of a Chekhov play.
Carell is good but William Jackson Harper is absolutely a scene stealer. What a performance!
This is Chekhov - it should not have bells and whistles. It is a deep interpersonal play that is true to heart of so many - life is a failed experience but we must march on

CABARET at the Kit Kat Club (2024) Opening Night Critics' Reviews May 3

Was there tonight and the entire pre show thing was a cluster**** of epic proportions. You couldn’t get to a bathroom or a bar with the crowding and we were almost late to our seats because we had no idea where to go and could get staff to help due to so many bodies.
The show itself is fine. Reviews are pretty spot on with this show imo. It’s nothing bad yet nothing super memorable except a poor, poor performance of Cliff.
They don’t sell

In meetings all day and just seeing the norms. I’m so utterly confused how Hell’s Kitchen leads the charge. Yes the new music ska are all very weak but … really???

I don't know if it can extend in its current home but if it it sells well, I think it could happen .. even if it has to again, relicate."
Wasted was indeed a poor word choice. But is I’d have gkttten tickets for this instead of Cabaret which isn’t my fav show by any stretch and I’ve seen countles

Any chance this will extend? I can’t make it back before it closes and for next week I bought Cabaret tickets months ago when I shouldn’t have seemingly wasted my money and got tickets for this. Grrr

It’s quite amazing this season with so many new shows they all basically aren’t good. We have wasted so much money this season on mediocrity, it really makes me question buying tickets for next season before shows open. And we see 15+ shows each year.
What a drag of a year. Appropriate, Mary Jane and Merrily not included …

The fact Hell’s Kitchen is a Critic’s Pick and this is a dour mixed (sounds negative to me) review makes my head spin off my shoulders.

Shows in previews don't do it and many new shows won't, even after they're open. It would be nice if they still had people with buckets. But, having your whole cast sign a bunch of stuff is big time commitment for

I was there this afternoon too and I’m not sure what to think. Overall it’s very strong and my current pick for fav new musical (yet to see Outsiders).
Part of me thinks it’ll be a hit but part of me thinks it’s like a mediocre theater spectacle show with great vocalists.
The lighting is distractingly off - lots of mistakes. We sat next to a producer making a metric ton of notes so they’re working on shortening it

Caught it tonight and I was pretty blown away to be honest. The 2nd act gets a bit wonky for 10 or so minutes but it finds it feet with a strong finish.
It’s night and day compared to The Notebook which I saw last when it comes to actual music and vocal performances - the Moore I think about Notebook more I loathe it. Eden slays as expected but Amber Iman, Beth Leavel and George Abud rise above too.

Saw this finally tonight and man I really disliked it.
No one on stage had any charisma, connection and the songs were cheesy as hell and they couldn't even nail them. I contemplated leaving at intermission and I NEVER do that.
Probably didn’t help seemingly half the people around us were on their phones the majority of the show. I can’t say I blame them.
