Profile for Birdie Boy

I can’t speak for others like Sutton, but I do not have multiple usernames. I have only ever used one username at a time, not interested in any rebrand.  The issue is the mods selectively ban people for giving unpopular opinions even when they haven’t broken the rules.  This needs to change

The way it’s been described is that the music isn’t playing them off so the cast is just standing there and the audience is stuck there just clapping like seals for many minutes 

The whatsonstage podcast talked about standing ovations taking over the west end, mickeyjo has talked about it, others have talked about it.  So unless you’re calling all of them liars, this is what is happening in the West End; Cheap standing ovations which should not be seen as any indicator whatsoever. 

I thought her Losing my Mind in Old Friends has theist show stopping number of last season. It was stunning. 

If anything, NEWSIES should be the one to get a remount.  Let’s have a magical Broadway season with Beauty and the Beast at the Palace, Newsies at the Nederlander, along with Aladdin and The Lion King still running.  Maybe Hercules can go into the St James.  

JOHN KANDER deserved so much better than this mediocre production.  I hope we get a great production of CABARET very soon to cleanse the memory of this one. 

You have actual British people that are saying the Cannes style 15 minute long standing ovations are now taking over the west end.  It’s less about them liking it and more about the amount of money they spent.  Thankfully, we’ve gone in the opposite direction, I’m noticing a heck of a lot less standing ovations in New York, it’s wonderful to see

Leslie margherita for either of them 

Obviously Jamie Lloyd wants Evita in New York.  He wants another 4 million bucks 

Andrew Lloyd Webber was there thanking the cast tonight.  It seems like Jamie Lloyd is in ny

I didn’t like it at all, stupid show and the song choices were pretty bizarre.  Born to be wild as they are going to war and killing me softly after one of the guys dies.  Some of these musicals I’ve seen at NWS are just beyond words it’s like a high schooler wrote it.  Although I did like Sogn of the times, that was pretty cute. 

No announcement, not looking good

Rachel’s voice is too pingy for me for the score.  I prefer a voice with more body to it like Patti or Shareen Pimentel had at the ART.  I hate how Rachel goes up right at the end of rainbow high on the word “quality.”  It sounds so much better just doing it as written, why mess with a good thing 

I think they have a levain little corner selling the cookies on the 8th floor right next to that office selling tickets or whatever it is.  

Has anyone seen this??  She is hilarious!!

49 dollar todaytix rush.  Seems like this is selling well

Adam Guettel to me is the perfect composer who blurs the lines between musical theater and opera.  Light in the piazza actually has been done in opera houses, I think Renee Fleming played it.  The hours also blurred the lines beautifully.  Andrew Lloyd webbers Aspects of love could easily be done at the opera, it’s gorgeous 

Max von Essen did it in all I care about iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis love

It’s also les mis, Chicago and so many other shows where actors are just holding out the note. It’s a competition at this point. Horrible
