Profile for Falslanaland

Saw this tonight. Definitely will grab a Tony or three-- the costumes, set, and lighting are insanely impressive. The choreography definitely stands out, but I have no base of knowledge for ballroom or drag culture and loved it. I'm queer but this subculture isn't my domain and I had a blast!

Intermission was an all out nightmare for restrooms, so I'm glad I didn't go. I was seated right in front and people were pouring out after the intermission had ended and had to be

The best part of this show was the stage door after. I understood why some of the jokes were funny. I even smiled a bit. the Laurence music was amazing. But not a single joke landed. The audience felt tepid the entire time for the matinee. I can't imagine being one of these amazing comedic talents onstage reading this slop, and probably knowing it's slop. But good for everybody for farming the check, I can't even blame them. Also, I could tell there was some deeper messages (ie ne

Yes, it was announced  during one of the commercial breaks on the monitors inside that Cats @ The Jellicle Ball is getting more life... I didn't see much else said other than the ad for it however. It was on the screens on the sides after some of the childhood dancing/singing vid

I'm so late to shaing my reactions, probably because I was exhausted after being in the room all night last night but..

The Good:

> Maybe Happy Ending, Sunset, and Pirate's performances were my top 3 from this season, however...
> Hamilton is in a league of its own. I've never seen a room so thrilled at a performance for the Tony's. WOW. That was so thrilling, and as somebody who got into theater partially due to Hamilton I really loved the full circle

I don't even know where to start. I feel like I wasted my time tonight going, and it didn't even take much money or effort for me to be there.

I agree with the critiques of the set, but every single dress that isn't the silver Marilyn dress looks awful and cheap. The rivalries between the 3 ladies didn't have any rewarding payoff, and I only had one authentic laugh the entire show. I don't know how drunk the audience had to be to find any of this entertaining, but a

I think "Bad Cinderella" is this for me. It's probably the hardest I've laughed in a Broadway theater, and I'd seen it 3 times in it's short run. I still listen to some of the songs to this day. It's so absurd that it's enjoyable. Andrew Lloyd never misses (Yes, even I can enjoy a few songs from Love Never Dies as well).

I think Tammy Faye was fine. I don't have a major issue with it because I didn't grow up in that era, and it just feels over

I don't typically show up to this board to be a straight up hater, but I've heard nothing but negativity out of that con. As somebody who volunteered there, I have nothing positive to say about it either. It's basically a cash grab for the teen crowd who want to cosplay and pay to see random stars (Jen Collella an

I enjoyed Teeth as much as the next guy, but the decisions made between Playwrights Horizons and NWS made it go from a top tier comedy gem hidden on Off-Broadway to a show that suffered from over-direction, an over-dose of shock value, and less than compelling advertising. I also think Playwrights smaller size gave it the feeling of being a very time sensitive event to see. I’m not sure where I’d place it after playwrights, but I definitely think adding so many elements hurt it. B

It's sad to hear, but I'm so surprised everybody is saying this was an expensive ticket to get or playing to filled audiences. I went to the Thursday matinee this week on a $25 student ticket, and I saw gaps in the audience, plus I got my rush ticket probably an hour after the box office opened and it was a front row, center orchestra seat. The show was fine, but nothing that struck any chords. I'd rather see Tammy Faye than spend another minute watching this at Studio 54. Hoping

Some of the shows under best I'm surprised to see. On the flipside, on the worst end I can guarantee the dogpiling on Tammy Faye is only because it closed recently and nobody saw the worse shows (Patriots anyone? Most of the shows we've forgotten by now). If Lempicka closed recently I guarantee that would be the one getting all the hate. Not that I'm defending Tammy, it definitely wasn't the best but it doesn't jump out anywhere close to the worst shows I've seen as of

I've seen this both with Whoopi and her understudy earlier in the run, and I think Whoopi's comedic timing really enhances the role, but ultimately her understudy had the better performance and synergy with the cast. I agree with the others who have stated that Whoopi just saying things that probably are not in the script at times, but that's what makes her so hilarious in this production. As for the rest of the cast, I really love how the ensemble puts in the work for every group
