He seems to be shouting, jumpy, and moving too fast.I likedJane Bergére's performance."I'm really not a fan of Ramin's Phantom, so you are not alone.

I saw them in December and the cast was great. Nick's "Bring him home" will take your breath away. I think I did a short review in one of the other Les Miz threads.

And if so what were your thoughts/feelings?I’ve now seen it twice in Philadelphia, and have some mixed thoughts on a few things and am curious what other folks are feeling."Curious what your thoughts are, as I finally saw it. To add on to what was said above, they were very prompt in the start time. They made the announcement about turning off phones, the music immediately sta...

Any word on the casting? The website does not have any information. I don't think Josh or Nick are coming back. My theater announced presale but I don't want to buy tickets unless there is information about the cast.

I wish that Disney would adapt Moana for the stage. I think it has 'good bones,' a lot of the songs are Broadway-esque and see built to be sung live, they could pull together some amazing effects, I'm sure LMM would be on board.

Given that schools and most major sporting events are dropping their mandates, it just feels a little like theater itself at this point to be honest. And i am far from being a covid denier, i am triple vaxxed and still caught it.. My friend and I were going to see a show on tour a few weeks ago and didn't because she was in the middle of her vaxx series (not fully vaxxed yet) and couldn't get a test in time to have results back, we didn't go. Some of the touring productions that have trouble ...

when i click 'next 50' it kicks me back to the main menu board

I'm sorry but why does this board still kick you out to the main menu after you reply to a comment or hit 'back?" This is pretty ridiculous that this glitch hasn't been corrected at this point and its definitely a reason i haven't been around much.

I adore her and think she is gorgeous but that performance of "I Still Believe" with Lea Salonga from a few years ago lives rent free in my head (sorry, Ruthie!).

PinniGig said: "I think West Side might pick up over the next few weeks or so. It was a bad time to open with so many shows re-opening in theatres everywhere around the same time, COVID making people on edge and many that decided to stay at home and not risk having to cancel plans made for Christmas. It's early days." I think WSS would have done a bit better if they had also offered a straight to stream option on demand or to rent. I think they were hurt by the rise in COVID cases (a lot of p...

Fosse76 said: "All these closures demonstrate that producers are still using pre-pandemic metrics for post-hiatus viability. Tourist and ticketbuyer behavior is not the same as it was before, and some shows were a hard sell prior, anyway. It also shows that the League is willing to scapegoat the front of house for the closures (off-site testing with entrance refusals until test results are received, no bar, stringent oversight of staff and audience by covid monitors). Meanwhile, all cancellat...

HogansHero said: "For those of us (and I suspect it is a substantial majority of frequent participants in this board) who are "jumping" to the [now relegated to the bottom] traditional board, it is annoying that, after posting, the board pops you back up to the top of the page and you have to jump again." THIS. It does not appear to be fixed since this comment over 6 weeks ago. I would urge tech support to check out the pro boards format, a lot of the issues that we see on these boards could ...

Sutton Ross said: "People won't be willing to do this unless it's seriously worth it. So, unless they have a Hamilton on their hands currently, most people won't care to stand in a line for hours on end when they are vaccinated."THIS. I'm covid cautious, I am triple vaxxed, but having to get tested is just not something i am going to do, especially since tests are scarce and insurance does not cover the cost unless your doctor orders it. Is it the smart thing to do? Yes, absolutely. But it is...

I feel like the Wicked movie will be coming out about a decade too late. 10-15 years ago, Wicked was everywhere. Now, a lot of people have seen it on stage but it doesn't have the buzz that Hamilton or other shows have.

ucjrdude902 said: "Is this garnering any sort of award buzz? For a movie thats being heavily promoted Im hearing nada."I have nothing about this film outside of the Broadway people I follow on IG and this message board. I think its going to be a flop, especially with delta ramping up. Are they releasing it on hbo max?

I liked it but felt like it was a bit too long. I love LMM and think the first half started with a bang, but the second half was a little all over the place and uninspired. I did think that the DACA and protest part felt really out of place and were not necessary. The entire show centers around the immigrant experience and first generation immigrant experience and the DACA talk jolted the show out of being timeless to being committed to a certain time period, if that makes sense. And it felt ...
