Profile for Matt Rogers

everythingtaboo said: "Not need to lock this thread or call the OP a troll. The absurdity of concession pricing in theatres is a legitimtate gripe, and part of the en****fication of the experience.From the ice clinking, the chip crunching, the candy bag shuffling, to random additions of popcorn and cotton candy, to the prices not be proportional to size, all of which being grubbed down by people that can't sustain themselves for two hours of theatre without bringing a smorgasboard back to the...

This was your first visit to a NY theatre Flash? And a full sippy cup of wine is more than $40, Flash. If you don’t like it, use the water fountain. And don’t look at concession prices at concerts and sporting events, Flash. It’s the same story.

A dance musical in concert?

We’re not boycotting CBS anymore?

It’s amazing what announcing a closing notice and the proceeding to gouge people on all the remaining tickets will do to boost your numbers."I just don't think this is true. Would the Tony for best revival really have amounted to much higher ticket numbers? We know it didn't help Sunset Boulevard or Company."It's not true in any cap...

Fred Mason said: "I actually think mostly anytime Rose is not on stage in Act 1, the show could be cut. All I Need Is the Girl, If Mamma was married should be cut. Just go from the TT Grantziger scene;Rose rejecting his offer and causing a scene, June bemoaning her mother, and go right to the scene before Everything’s coming up Roses. All I Need is the girl is an old fashioned break for the audience song but it just stops the action as intended. "Ladies and gentleman, Flash is going to fix Gy...

This is a non union tour. Original creatives are often involved since it’s a replicated production using his original work reset by associates.

Fred Mason said: "The play is done straight, no audience participation except one little moment where there’s dancing on stage and one of the players gets the audience to start clapping to the beat. It’s a well directed, well performed show.The up and down is from audience members who come and go as they please. This isn’t your local community theaterShakespeare in the park, we’re not sitting on blankets and they shouldn’t allow people to leave whenever they feel like it. Lock the doors"There...

Fred Mason said: "I thought it started off strong, the “first act” overall was quite good. Unfortunately it falls apart after intermission and has a completely ridiculous ending. The performances were pretty good all around. The entire show had audience membersconstantly up and down. This should be banned because it’s a huge distraction when people are constantly moving around. Plus there were airplanes and helicopters hovering above. And an ambulance siren outside. And the sound of people ta...

How’s that working out for you? Looks like your crystal ball is broken and you should probably take a seat.

broadfan327 said: "Yeah, I don't understand the obsession with everything someone likes has to win an award either. Hadestown won Tonys, isn't that enough?"I think it is as simple as this: People enjoy seeing things that they like positively recognized as broadly as possible. No need to be a b*tch about it.

It appears that digital rush and lottery is done for the run. What a huge disappointment for anyone who can’t camp out or spend $200+ a ticket for the last 2 weeks on Broadway.

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Russell was a scream at the Daryl Roth. I found Parsons annoying and not very funny.The broadness of Daniels’ portrayal is probably what the show needed to begin with on Broadway when trying to fill a bigger stage and a bigger house."Did you see the Broadway transfer?

Sutton Ross said: "I saw Titanique once at the Daryl Roth and then again Friday night. It’s funny, the only major difference for me was in the portrayal of that role- Daniels portrayed it more as a risqué Edna Turnblad and Parsons was more of an Elaine Stritch. I found both performances equally funny, but with Parsons I was always aware I was watching a male celebrity in drag.Interesting observation, I don't care for Jim Parsons inanything so I'm glad I caught Russell downtown and maybe I wil...

Fred Mason said: "When your name is above the title, you can make all sorts of demands. Showbiz has always been like this. Pink would be a huge get, I just hope the production lives up to her talents, and is able to get a great acting performance out of her. I’d certainly rather see Pink win the Tony than Rachel Zegler. "Sure thing, Flash.

Sutton Ross said: "Omg, that's amazing. I saw Russell downtown and he was absolutely hilarious, got more laughs than anyone else. Such a bummer he didn't transfer, but I guess people thought Jim Parsons is still a huge draw? Is he? Anyways, awesome news!"Yes, America’s Sweetheart, Jim Parsons is a draw, and he is quite fantastic in that role. But keep on trolling!

Hell no. You can see pretty much the exact same concert production on tv for free, and the prices they are charging for any halfway decent seat to this thing are totally ridiculous.

Sutton Ross said: "I know Pink mentioned their family moved to New York so her daughter could study theater and experience more Broadway shows, but since Pink isnot an actress, I doubt this is true. They both have great voices but that's notenough for this material."You heard it here, folks. America’s Sweetheart says it’s not happening, so it’s not happening.

darquegk said: "I'm gonna say something very very controversial here: I would have loved to see Jennifer Nettles or Kacey Musgraves or somebody in this role. Because the thing we all agree not to say out loud about n2n is... it's a country score. West coast Laurel Canyon alt-country, sure, but still country. It's in the musical vernacular of Sirius XM's The Spectrum, and I don't think Pink has a single peaceful-easy-feeling bone in her body."You think the Next to Normal score is country music...
