We are in NYC quite a bit so we've seen a lot of what's on Broadway already. All the Disney shows, Wicked, Book of Mormon, Outsiders, Mamma Mia, Beetlejuice, & Juliet, Chicago, Death Becomes Her, Great Gatsby, Hamilton, Hadestown, Oh Mary.

We are with my partner's family and saw Moulin Rouge last night and are seeing Ragtime tonight (literally my favorite Broadway score and have seen 10x but not this cast). We are seeing Maybe Happy Ending tomorrow for matinee and need

I saw this last night, and I’m honestly baffled by how bad it really is. If this is being considered for a Broadway transfer, it’s nowhere near ready. It's one of the weakest productions I’ve seen in a very long time.

The show aims to tell a cohesive story, but it often feels more like a series of disconnected vignettes. It’s hard to stay emotionally invested when the narrative lacks flow and clarity. I’ve seen comm

I'm going to the special preview event tonight.

7:30 PM // ON THE COCA-COLA STAGE

Join us for a special preview event for Millions – a heartwarming new musical about two brothers, their newly widowed father, a train robber, and (possibly) a miracle, inspired by Frank Cottrell Boyce’s beloved novel and film. Featuring a discussion between Artistic Director Christopher Moses and creative team Adam Guettel, Bob Martin, and Bartlett Sher, plus a snea

Can they fix the color before this is released?"


I wish they could fix the lighting. I have no idea why you’d shoot “The Wizard and I” in flat, whitelighting. Imagine if that song had been shot while the sun was going down at Shiz, with a sky of purples and oranges and pinks? Instead she runs out into a washed out field of bone dry hay and an overcast sky. Missed opportunity."

Imagine how we

So many fell just short (The Color Purple, West Side Story, Les Mis, Hairspray). And there's been plenty of flops(Rent, Jersey Boys, Dear Evan Hansen, In The Heights, Footloose, Rock of Ages, Phantom, The Producers)."

La La Land won 6 Oscars, not even counting the one it only won

For a movie that left the first act virtually unchanged only "expanded" it wasn't expanded well, just padded out. Anyone talking Oscars for anything but production design is high on their own supply. Defying Gravity was impeccably filmed, I applaud them for that. Going back to being a teenager in 2008 baulking at how it'd come off on film as not

The lighting is a recurring issue, with key moments suffering from poor execution. For example, in "The Wizard and I," Elphaba's scene in the gazebo feels awkwardly and poorlylit as if the chimes themselves were supposed to light her?"

Maybe this doesn't change your opinion, but the stained glass chimes were there to degreenify her by canceling out her green wi

As I mentioned earlier, the writers branch of the Academy has had a long love/hate relationship with musicals. Even Tony Kusher, one of the best scriptwriters of any
