Beetlejuice is wrapping up its 3rd week tonight and I've seen the show 2 times.

I really love the show, and I think it will do well when it transfers to Broadway.

Strengths of the show:

The set, costume, and props are superb and really capture the quirkiness of Beetlejuice. 

The casting was on point in my opinion. There is great chemistry between the actors particularly for the 3 pairs (Beetlejuice & Lydia), (Barbara & Adam), (Charles & Delia).

Mean Girls is fantastic!!! Queen Tina!

It is well-casted and well-written. Each actor (while still alluding to the movie) really put their own interpretation and portrayal to the characters. MG is also updated for 2017 to include social media, current events, and the current lingo but there are plenty of nods to the film as well, especially the memorable scenes. The musical also fills in the gaps that the movie didn't really go into. The set (while simple in my opinion compared to

I saw it in DC! I had never seen ITW (not even the film!) so Fiasco's was my first introduction to the show. The actors were so well-rounded playing numerous characters and also playing the musical instruments. It was also very clear when the actors would switch characters. There have been some other productions I've seen when this wasn't executed well and I was really confused. 

What was great about it was that even though it was a musical, the focus was still on

I really loved the story, the actors, and set design of this play. It is a great mix of drama with just the right amount of humor to ease heavy topics. There is great chemistry between the actors, and even if Kate drew you in, I think you will leave the theatre in awe of the whole ensemble. One note, I sat in the front row but I would recommend being a few rows back as my neck was a little sore because there are a few scenes upstairs which is high up on stage. Run time is 2.5 hours but I

I would suggest something small..maybe a small souvenir gift from where you are from that you can include with your letter?

I think it is pretty common for fans to give their favorite performers gifts. I follow a lot of stage actors on instagram and they always post gifts they receive from fans and they seem genuinely appreciative of it. I would assume if it creeped them out they wouldn't post it. What I am always skeptical of is when fans give food... that always makes m

I've been at a couple of stagedoors where the actors will only specifically sign playbills/memorabilia of the show but this is pretty rare. I've also met fellow stagedoorers who didn't see the show and it's completely fine! I really don't think the stagedoor staff/security will say anything and there's no harm in trying! For me I usually stagedoor because it's a great cherry on top after seeing a show and I've also had some amazing conversations with

I am actually watching the film for the 2nd time tonight! I thought Idina Menzel and Nia Long gave outstanding performances with a fresh/new take on a beloved classic. The movie soundtrack is also superb!

I know since it is a remake people will want to compare Bette's CC and Barbara's Hillary but from the get-go I don't think it ever intended to replace the original. Without spoiling anything, there are some minor character/plot differences. 

But I definitely re

Wow this is such an excellent comparison. I had no idea he even painted. 

Honestly just truly disappointed at Ms. Holliday's decision. Attending and performing at the Inauguration shows that you are participating in the celebration of Trump's presidency. Theatre is a safe place for acceptance and diversity which I don't think aligns with Trump&#

I'm definitely happiest when I'm sitting in a theatre watching a play or musical. However, it is a pretty pricey hobby and with so many shows to choose from, I was curious how everyone here chooses what shows to see? Do you see a show typically based the actual work (you've read it before etc.), word of mouth/recommendation, reviews, tony noms, the ticket price?

I think the biggest draw for me is my familiarity with the actors, and I'm not necessarily referring to big n

I collect every playbill/program for all productions I've seen. Growing up my family never really went to the theatre, so my first broadway show was Hairspray in 2007 for a school trip to NY and I was looking through my storage bin of playbills last week and it was really nice to see a keepsake of that show. I really only started seeing shows 4 years ago (this can be a very expensive hobby) so I probably have about 30 - 40 but it sure is growing fast.
