Saw this last night. I howled several times. Brilliantly absurd. Martin Landry was on for Conrad, so I was a little bummed not to see Conrad. Landry was fantastic. I imagine Conrad is even more campy and flamboyant in moments. Also think John Mulaney could be an interesting choice for Mary.

like Anti-maga?

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 a rec for the evening sh...

For me, the film works best in the moments between Tonatiuh and Diego Luna. While the dreamier musical numbers remind me a bit of Chicago and the other sequences feel like classic movie musicals, Jennifer Lopez as Aurora feels miscast. She looks stunning, but her acting feels hollow next to Molina and Valentin, leaving Aurora underwhelming in a story that needed her to shine. Honestly, she is fine, but a better actress would have made this film great.

Is the general context of Dressing them Up lost or is it just the song that was cut? I think it's important in the storytelling of Molina.

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 community theatre productions with far more engaging direction and storytelling.As ...

I'm going to the special preview event tonight.7:30 PM // ON THE COCA-COLA STAGEJoin 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 sneak peek performance from the cast, ticket discount...

What an exciting cast and team. Who is going? Has anyone heard anything about this production?

Like you had a whole year of complaints in a jar ready to unleash this weekend, and are almost disappointed that you can't use all of them."For the record, I LOVED the movie. As a fan of the technical aspects of film, I wanted more.

rg7759 said: "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 would have ripped it to shreds for wizard and I having the same exact lighting as defying ...

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 nothing special, they did pull it off.N...

Saw this again last night for the second time and it was an even better experience, likely because I knew what to expect with some of the elongated numbers. "Dancing Through Life" and "Defying Gravity" particularly stood out as highlights this time when I thought they were the parts of the film that stalled the most on first viewing. Knowing I was going to be sitting through a 21-minute sequence in DTL made it better this time around. And yes, I clocked it. As a Broadway fan, I give the film ...

Well it was Cynthia and she is damn incredible.

Would actually love to see him direct a Wizard of Oz that's true to the original book with the cast of Wicked continuing on.Others: Hadestown, Next to Normal, Follies
