Profile for Stage Door Sally

My response seems to have disappeared. If it shows up again, apologies for any duplication. The show did indeed go on Sunday afternoon. I went specifically to see David Wright, Jr. (understudy) as Aladdin. It's fun watching talented actors early in their careers as they develop. David was terrific and the show was fun. As for the technical problem, I believe it was with the magic carpet. It seemed rather fixed in place with limited movement, so not fully fixed. Didn't bother me.

Thanks!

I understand Aladdin stopped during the opening number at the matinee today and the show was then cancelled. Tonight's performance was also cancelled. I have tickets for tomorrow's matinee and was wondering if anyone has heard what's going on?

Haven't found many reviews. Has anyone seen it?

Sinatramania!

Like Beatlemania, basically an homage concert experience. It could alternate with A Beautiful Noise on tour.

Rannells plays young, so yes him as Bobby, and Gad could handle Lockstock.

O.K., you kinda caught me. (Just kinda, I do think Rannells could play Bobby. But Gad... yeah not so good as Lockstock. Totally suited for Barrel, but that's not a starring role).

I just want a revival of Urinetown sooo badly, I want anyone in it that could bring it to Broadway. 

 

 

I'd love to see them in a revival of Urinetown: The Musical.

She'd be great as Winnie in Beckett's Happy Days. Heck, I'll see her in anything. 

Great news that this show has recouped!

I became a fan of Jodie Comer in the same way I did with Bryan Cranston - from TV. Their talent was so entertaining to watch, from Jodie's chilling/hilarious work in Killing Eve to Bryan as everyman goes bad in Breaking Bad. I  I couldn't wait to see them on Broadway and both delivered with tour-de-force performances. Estimable actors. Will gladly watch anything they're in.

Last week Jeopardy! honored Andrew Lloyd Webber. This week it gives a tip of the hat to Stephen Sondheim.

The categories in the first round of tonight's show are all names of Sondheim musicals (the clues aren't related):

Into The Woods, Company, A Little Night Music, Passion, Merrily We Roll Along

 

 

There was an Andrew Lloyd Webber category on tonight's Jeopardy! with clues narrated by ALW himself. The answers/questions were all pretty easy, no-brainers for Broadway fans.

The clues from lowest to highest dollar: Memory from Cats, Prince Charming from Bad Cinderella, Judas from Jesus Christ Superstar, Phantom of the Opera being longest running musical on Broadway, Glenn Close as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

I'm having a blast with this show! The song parodies are super clever and on point. "Good Enough to Eat" is hysterical, and, dare I say brilliant. There, I dared. Jane, Kristin, Alan, Tituss, Dove all phenomenal. And Aaron Tveit has so much more chemistry than he did in Moulin Rouge. I would love to see them sneak a little Urinetown in there.

Very interested in everyone's thoughts. I bought tickets the moment they went on sale and am taking my daughter, my theater partner in crime, and huge Jodie Comer fan. This will be her first Broadway show since Covid, and only my second after Company (closed too soon imho). 

I got my aisle seats through the pre-sale link. Thank you so much for sharing! 

Yay! I have a quick question about aisle seats. Are the ones in the first few rows too far to the side to see well? How are they in Row F and beyond view wide? Thank you.
