I wish I can share the wild enthusiasm displayed by the crowd at last night’s performance. But I can’t. I found the show just okay. While the performances were solid, especially Clark and Cooley, the book was a little light and the songs mostly forgettable. I also wonder about the show’s prospects after these two leave the cast. Will it be similar to DEH after Ben Platt left?
We rushed this and only paid $40. It will be too hard to recommend this at the $139 (plus fee

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 10/30/22

I don’t know if the perceived high crime rate, lingering Covid fears or ticket prices are keeping tourists away. It certainly didn’t for us. We are here now since October 31st. Surprise to see Times Square crowded on Halloween night. The town is packed right now. Don’t know if that’s due to the Marathon this weekend. Lots of Europeans in town. The stores are packed with tourists buying goods on 5th Ave and in sporting goods stores near Macy’s. They have $$ to spe

I just scored 2 right orchestra seats Row G, Seats 2 & 4 for Moulin Rouge for early November. Cost was 1000 showpoints + $69. Great redemption, IMO. It was my first one too. Can't complain.

Yes. The film was a love it or hate it spectacle with its visual feast. There is no question that it was polarizing. Good. I have a feeling that I will love this one.

Saw this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very funny and Fontana does a great job. Audience members were laughing a lot too. With the Tony nominations also announced yesterday, in the scene where his manager tells him “You were going to be nominated for a Tony and I was even going to vote for you” got the cheers and the loudest and longest applause of the evening. So well deserved.

Glad to see all the positive reviews. Can’t wait to see this next week! Based on the earlier reviews here, I was beginning to doubt if I made a mistake buying the tickets weeks in advance. I just knew those pre-Broadway reviews couldn’t be all wrong.

Places to Eat in Times Square

Juniors on 49th Street was very average at best the last time we ate there. They were definitely going for bigger portion sizes (quantity) rather than quality. Enjoyed our meals more at Ippudo, which is a few blocks away from TS.

That depends on who applauded. If it’s the same demographic who did to the latest Jurassic World film, best to stay away.

I struck up a conversation with the guy working there when I stopped by over a week ago. There was another customer who he was talking to prior to me arriving. Both were very friendly and we talked about the shows currently playing in town. We also talked about how some of the merchandise for DEH changed after Ben Platt left the show.

When I was in the city over a week ago, I went to the box office to see what kind of tickets they have for a show the next evening. They offered me side orchestra seats, Row G near the aisle at regular prices. Depending on the day of the week, you may get lucky just walking up to the box office and see what they have.

I’m adding my thoughts after seeing it over a week ago. I have not seen any version of this material (stage or film) nor was I familiar with its storyline. My expectations were high considering its cast and with Marianne Elliott as the director having previously seen her work on “Curious Incident”.
This production is spectacularly done. The staging, sound and lighting designs are beautifully done. The angel’s appearance at the end of Part 1 brought down the house. Audiences were appl
