Oh come on… I generally like Katrina but she couldn’t sing the role and she made strange and underwhelming acting choices. She didn’t do it for me at all and I’m glad that Tony voters are sending the message that we still want our lead actresses in a musical to have great voices (sorry Beanie and Katrina).

heybaby said: "I thought Doyle did very, very little with what is a great comedic song. IMHO- Fitzgeral, Sieber and Elder are all giving more impressive performances."Totally agree. I would be very disappointed if Doyle wins the Tony. The song did all the work, he just managed to get all of the words out at a decent clip. I thought his comedy was VERY broad throughout the show - started at a 10 and had no where to go - and did not find his dramatic moments moving or authentic.

Thanks for posting! Got some for just before opening.

Wherever He Ain’t

I regret not seeing: Grey Gardens at Bay Street Theater, starring Rachel York & Betty Buckley;Rain, by MJLC starring Eden Espinosa, Betsy Morgan, Elizabeth A. Davis, and Solea Pfeiffer... what a cast.

@LizzieCurry, can you point me in the direction of a positive reception on Twitter? I'm only seeing two .gif replies and two non-sequitur responses.

As it's been plainly stated by posters above me, OnStage Blog is trash. I wouldn't count on that blog for any bit of my information. It's run by attention-seeking amateurs hoping to get noticed by posting splashy controversial pieces without adequate research, evidence, or skill. If there is a theatre source out there that is going to pick up the NYT's work and expose the predators... this one ain't it.

I just read that article and also found it really hard to get through, and just want to tell a story about when I was a waiter at a restaurant on the UWS near where Rebecca and Danny live. Rebecca came in by herself for lunch and sat in my section, and I recognized her as soon as I walked over but I didn't acknowledge that to her. She was so strikingly kind and authentic, she asked my name and called me by it, she was so gracious, and she made the kind of eye-contact where you know someone is...

Yes, I saw the Signature production at Signature in VA as well and totally agree, Natascia Diaz was excellent. Moving and nuanced, very impressive. Steffanie Leigh's Clara was also great. I was not a fan of Claybourne Elder's Giorgio, who seemed stiff and stilted, and came across as not particularly interested in either Clara or Fosca.

Another vote for Kaley Ann Vorhees here... first saw her as an understudy and was totally blown away, then went back when she took over the role.

Wow, so exciting!! Deborah Cox is going to be amazing in this role.

Anyone know what happened on twitter today? SJB quoted a tweet (now deleted) and said "Please DELETE this thread. I’m sure your intention was in fun, but I find it in terrible form. Thank you."People responded in support, but someone also replied saying "it was a joke and stephanie wasn’t even tagged in it! she really didn’t mean anything bad by it! it was meant to be a funny thing. She’s a huge stephanie fan and she would never intentionally upset her!"the tweet

I’m enjoying this new release, especially Morgan James’s Gethsemane. Agreed about Shoshana, not my fav track. A lot of octave switching, and not in a good way. Cynthia sounds great. Looking forward to Vol 2!

I'm very excited about Maia Reficco as Natalie - just saw her as Young Eva in Evita at City Center. I was initially very disappointed that they were splitting the role between a younger and an older Eva (and still don't think it adds much, other than a nice moment in Another Suitcase), but watching Maia in the early sections of the show, I was half-wishing that we'd get to watch her play the rest of it... really interesting acting and an exciting voice. I think she'll be a great fit.

Very excited to hear about Alexandra Socha! I didn’t see Hey Look me Over, but here’s a promotional clip where she sings a cut of “Look What Happened to Mabel” and I think I watched this 100 times. https://youtu.be/782TjtCHnek I just loooove her voice, love to watch her. She was such a standout in Fun Home at the Public (still prefer and play her recordings), and her performance of the song “Good Girl” in Head Over Heels was one of the highlights. (Side note, I was really hoping for a cast al...

Finally saw this last week; wow, I disliked it so much! Chad Beguelin’s lyrics and the book were so unfunny to me. The songs mostly seemed like less exciting knock offs of other songs. Characters just say zany things in order to be surprising. Motivations are very questionable. Emma doesn’t believe Alyssa that she didn’t know, even after dating for a year and a half? Seems like that is only to keep the plot going into act two. I liked all of the actors playing the “Broadway actors” but the ro...

In My Body is a new musical that premiered in Philadelphia - almost all the songs might fall into the category of body positivity. From their website (http://www.inmybodythemusical.com/): "COVERING and UNCOVERING gender identity, infertility, bullying, pride, aging, obesity, trauma, self-loathing, disability, passion, sexuality, love and so much more."

DAME said: "I like him. But he is bland in this show. Don’t beat yourself up if you miss him in this."I disagree, I saw him in it this week and thought he was wonderful. His voice sounds so beautiful on this score and I loved his acting in the role. I previously saw Gavin Creel and was more charmed by Santino.

Looking forward to hearing about it

This blog is trash and that "writer" is a joke
