I think one really must give a little grace and patience given that they titled the show with gendered words... 

Did not imagine myself desperate to see this show again. 

The filming outside the theater gimmick had been done countless times before Sunset and everyone acted like he invented the wheel, maybe critics and audiences will just have collective amnesia again. 

Only for the curtain call, bespoke to his final costume. Which was kind of a funny idea. Though the Emcee's makeup is often so mask-like in this production that it was still kind of effective when we would see him without anything. 

I'm glad I never took the time to do an in-depth take on why I appreciated the production and have loved watching Audra's performance, which is very specific to it, change over the course of the season. I'm aware that this is not an airport and I don't need to announce my departure, but every time I've opened this thread the production is only being discussed in terms barely relevant to what it is or what is being achieved (or not, to some) at the Majestic. Yawn. 

What a tiresome man. 

She looks good, but the movie...yikes. 

The amusement pier set in the recent SKIN OF OUR TEETH revival was wonderful, with a "roller coaster" slide in back IIRC.

Oh, and though simple, I loved the set. Beautifully lit, too. The pine box walls of the stage looking like a landscape or knots of wood was really effective and moving without really ever calling much attention to itself. 

I think this is the worst piece of writing I've ever seen performed, and there were only a few interesting staging moments. And I usually like the director. 

On weekdays I've historically mostly rushed after work, shows that offer it frequently don't actually stop in the morning unless it's a real sellout in my experience. Or maybe I'm just a box office whisperer. (I do try.)

Audra is my favorite Rose and this is still kind of hilarious to me. We don't have many big Broadway personalities anymore, good or bad. What we do have is a crop of actors as narcissistic as any era's who nevertheless now feel compelled to convince us that they have a monopoly on the concept of empathy. 

The recent Signature production in VA looked pretty good. 

What video is she referring to? 

I would almost try to time a trip to catch this, but the reason that I feel like I still haven't really seen the show is that I was so dispirited by John Doyle's condensed production (despite my admiration for much of its cast). So finding out which version of the show they're using is pretty important to me as well...

I have seen the show by rush twice, both just asking at the box office a couple hours before showtime on weekend matinees, and was able to get in. I don't know if Tony season will make it tougher.
