AUDRA GYPSY Reviews

MemorableUserName said: "I apologize for any confusion, or if there is a more accepted term when it comes to Broadway. I do tend of think of it more when it comes to movie reviews, where a review embargo tends to be a widely known concept. The fact that theater reviewers don't drop their reviews whenever they want before opening, but at a time on opening night dictated by the production, would seem to indicate the same concept is at work,so it's the term that came to mind."

It's the proper term. Press embargos are used for a variety of stories and press releases.

Cole posted to Instagram that they'll be in the show tonight!


NY TIMES - MHE IN 10 BEST OF 2024!
 Dec 10 2024, 09:39:26 AM

Dreamboy3 said: "There are other threads already on this topic, but wanted to offer a view to counter the gushing narrative that has taken over this board. I don’t get it. Yes, the design and staging are great (though the design may work against the material) but everything else about this show was mediocre, with the score not even meeting that low standard. I admired Criss’ performance but that is the best I can say about the two leads And when I saw it this weekend, the


First Preview Gift Thread

It wasn't exactly a tote bag for Gypsy, but a newsboy bag seen in the Dainty June numbers. Thought it was a cute nod. 

When I went to the Anastasia first preview it was a button.

I would love to see Smile someday. 

I've always been fascinated by the musical Merlin, but Doug Henning's estate would never allow for a revival.  

I was lucky to see a regional production of LaChiusa's Little Fish a few years ago. I loved it!

Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know?
 Sep 11 2024, 04:57:47 PM

I read on Twitter, so you know it MUST be true, that Ellen Greene may step in for Audrey for the holidays? 

I can't find the tweet now, so I may have made it up in my post-Debate Night haze. 


Novels That Could Make Great Musicals

I always thought Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe would make a great stage musical. 


Smallest Roles to Be Nominated for Tony Awards
 Aug 28 2024, 12:14:46 PM

Huss417 said: "Probably the least time on stage and also won the Tony Award for featured actress in a musical would be Marilyn Cooper for Woman of the Year.

I believe there is a thread on here somewhere where something similar has been asked before if you are looking for more.
"

Marilyn Cooper was the first one to pop into my head. I believe she was on stage for less than 10 minutes (you all, please correct me if I'm wrong), but from the performance below I can see why she was lauded.

I wonder why they haven't announced an extension yet. Is there another show looking to take the Lyceum for the Spring? 


Broadway prices and uncomfortable seats
 Apr 20 2023, 10:59:04 PM

As a fat person myself, I find myself looking for aisle seats when I purchase tickets, with hopefully a friend as my neighbor. However, in instances where I win a lottery seat or buy from TKTS, I selfishly hope and pray that the seats next to me go unclaimed or unpurchased. 

Last month, I left at intermission of Funny Girl because I could tell my size was making my neighbors uncomfortable. The seats in the balcony of the August Wilson are extremely tight. 

At Shucked,

It's so exciting to see so many Broadway debuts! 


COVID performance cancellation

DearTheodosia said: "I was also flying in from OKC for this week, but cancelled when I saw all of my shows being cancelled. Now i see that all of my shows (Hadestown, Moulin Rouge, Freestyle Love Supreme, Come from Away, and Company) seem like they are happening or will happen this week. I'm feeling pretty sad about my decision now. I say just go for it."

I am sorry that happened to you. But happy to see another OKC area person on here! Something in the water.&nb

Miles2Go2 said: "Wow! I have plans to fly in from OKC next week too! Been having sinus issues again this week so getting PCR test tomorrow. If that comes back giving me the all clear then I plan to go. Of course, that could change but since my hotel reservation is non-refundable, I’ll likely go unless I end up with Covid beforehand. I plan to see Company and Caroline, or Change (plus Assassins), too."

 

Maybe we're on the same flight! I am jealo
