Turistas just don't want to sit for 2+ hours for a legit show. The tab versions don't seem to fly either. Remember that Phantom:The Spectacle did have a decent run, and IMO was right up there with the other Phantom of NYC, London, etc. Running time was just about the same as the originals (included an intermission) AND it was absotootly very spectacular. The flippin' chandelier cost millions, looked like the mothership done up in crystals and fell in a gasp inducing flash...no floating for th...

ATG has all three major San Francisco theatres and the.PARADE tour is landing here, so I'll await word with semi-bated breath. Since I organise groups thru my ATG group sales connections, I really shouldn't be.so eager ... but I am.

EDSOSLO858 said: "I don't know if plans have shifted in the wake of the devastating wildfires, but it was initially rumored to close on Broadway in July,transfer to LA for a brief run, and get filmed there for a proshot."That sounds reasonable as an alternative, but I'm still.hoping for limited runs in major markets.Don't believe it would be received as disastrously as the OKLAHOMA revival. That was just sad IMHO.

Click Here To Toggle Spoiler ContentTrying to choreograph an outdoor walk in each city would be a logistical and security nightmare. A more feasible strategy would be to have him walk indoors from backstage to the lobby area, or just through the auditorium. But again, this would have to be re-worked in every city, and I'm not sure ther...

I'm rather surprised that.there have been no rumblings about a touring Sunset. Did.I.miss.something? I attended on Broadway last November and surprised.myself for.enjoying.this revival so much, but am hoping for.some input, if not concrete facts re the.viability of a tour. Since the.production IMO is quite avant garde, will something be mounted for only major cities, or.will the.hinterlands be considered also? Would a major name[s] be considered? Staging remain the same? So many questions.Pee...

Attended Monday night.11/4, as the first show of seven I'll see this week (annual Bway vacation). I.was crestfallen,.to say.the least. Cast gave their all, but I detected flop sweat in.their every action [ I'm probably projecting ] and I really feel for them. Sets/costumes were adequate, plot.was.murky and uninspired.and Sir Elton delivered a score that surpassed Lestat in its banality. Jack Shears should share EJ's blame for.the.insipid. lyrics.I.attended The Outsiders tonight, and that clea...

LushyBear said: "Saw the show last night.I agree with a lot of the comments here. The show has potential but needs some work.Standouts are the leads. Esparza, Kushnier and Mathews are really good in this. The set is nice (though I am not a fan of the LED rope lights in the columns, it looks a bit janky).A few misses for me:The songs are very forgettable and samey (as previously mentioned in this post). Some of them also are very Eurovision Song Contest (looking at you, Louder, Louder).There a...

I yam very confused.Part Two:will moi see you at Tammy Faye and Sunset BLVD the first week of November? "Perspiring Minds Want to Know"

Bupkis from.the Las Vegas Sun before, during and after the.announced dates. The "website" hadda generic picture and a cut-and-paste logo. I yam still very skeptical that it occurred.

A Strange Loop is currently playing at American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco as part of their season.

I second that emotion. November for me. If Eddie leaves in August or September, I'll live.

I wish them well, but I will believe this when it is up and running.......perhaps not even then. Yes, Aliante is a "local" hotel/casino.

Jordan Catalano said: "Exactly. Which is why I threw any and all expectations out and walked in tonight expecting something strange and completely new. I think if you know/love this show and want to have any sort of enjoyment watching it, that's what you need to do with this one."All moi can add is ... "Not Since Carrie"
