MCC's 'SH!T. MEET. FAN.' Cast Announced
 Nov 2 2024, 08:50:35 PM

Caught this today and had an enjoyable time with this cast. 

That said it’s a poor man’s God of Carnage. The “arguments” are one or two notes only with little depth. 

I really disliked the ending as well but to be fair I love dark stories so even though the very, very end was a dark twist it made me think of early 2000s tropes  

 


SWEPT AWAY Previews

I think this will be a very polarizing show.  I pretty much hated it in DC, my wife pretty much loved it.  And we usually have the same taste in musicals. 
 

 


Dear Evan Hansen... What did i just watch?
 Oct 27 2024, 06:55:44 PM

This was exactly my take and I saw it two weeks after opening on Broadway. Platt’s performance was extraordinary and I think that hid the horribleness of the character for a lot of folks.

Very interested to hear thoughts on this. Have one more spot for our December visit and it’s this or Swept Away.

A friend went and actually left at intermission - I have not had a chance to connect with her to get the full story on why though.

The show we need to see is actually a few days before, go figure! It’s almost always on TDF but for this instance I need 5 tickets and want to ensure everyone is together.

Anything floating around for the Rockettes? Haven’t been in years and a friend is on the line this year. 


Majestic Theatre Renovation!
 Sep 10 2024, 06:51:34 PM

I hate to be negative but …

The picture quality of these images is breathtakingly bad. How is this a thing in 2024?  You’d think a reveal would get someone with any kind of photography skills. 

On to the Majestic. It looks drab to me but that could be the terrible pictures. 


THE NOTEBOOK To Launch National Tour Fall 2025
 Aug 16 2024, 01:24:31 PM

This was my least favorite show of the season and a top 3 least favorite show I’ve ever seen. 

That said, this should do well on tour.

Ah, yup that is that then. I thought for some reason they didn't move to LA until January 2025. Oh well, I'll just continue to tell myself I'm not a big Foster fan and be OK with having to miss it. :) Ha! 


STEREOPHONIC Opening Night Critics’ Reviews
 Aug 5 2024, 02:00:56 PM

Finally was able to be in town to catch this and I agree with the previous poster - this was an entertaining slog to me. It feels wayyyyyyy too long, like they could cut an hour out of this and it'd be much stronger. 

The cast is phenomenal but the material is just ... there. I felt no connection with the couples, Reg seemed like a hollow asshole, etc. Clearly I and my wife are in the minority, and am happy for its success, but I wouldn't' see this again I don't th

Any chance this extends at all? Can't be back in NYC until early December and it is scheduled to close 4 days prior. We were there this weekend and had already booked shows when it was playing (no Sunday matinee yesterday so we saw Titanique instead).

Caught this last night and can’t add much more except this is tremendously fun romp, one I hope to catch again. Brilliant writing.

Anything for Titanique?

Wish Titanique was available. Want to go this weekend but unsure of spending $85/ticket for 4 of us.  


2024 Tony Awards

One bonus with the decreased viewership is less people watched that trainwreck of a telecast. Maybe they’ll come back next year after hearing how bad this one was and whoever the new host will be.

The only redeeming part outside the choreography in HK. But Kelli deserved it more imo.

Outsiders didn’t increase my desire to buy tickets. It’s the only nominee I haven’t seen, either.

Wrong song for Suffs. Out of place it is a slow piece with no action.

This ceremony is trying to turn people off theater, aggressively, it seems. It is so disjointed and the production quality is amateur.
