Absolutely sobbing during this!! Literally had to go to the damn bathroom and grab toilet paper. And many people were weeping around me too. Stunning pro-shot, this is a must see!!

Three things ultimately worked against the Broadway transfer:1. They simply couldn’t recreate the magic of the PAC. That venue was integral to the experience. The full runway with spectators surrounding the performers created an immersive atmosphere that made CTJB feel like an event rather than just another Broadway show. While the Broadway staging was impressive, it inevitably lost some of that intimacy and electricity.2. The tone shifted. I watched a bootleg of the downtown production a few...

I was also there during Tituss’ first run and I was actually quite vexed about how laconic and half-hearted his performance was, only to realize in hindsight that he was at the start of an illness that caused a callout later that week. When I went back last Saturda...

Jealous of everyone there today — Sunset has absolutely bankrupted me these past 9 months but I am FED!!! Just praying we get Nicole’s actual face during the red moment… we deserve this moment of chaos in HD!!

According to an usher at the BOOP! closing yesterday, this is set to transfer to the Broadhurst Spring 2026.

The movie!! The Streep VS Hawn energy was iconic — Simard and Hilty could absolutely never!! Also, where was the glow-up / transformation with Hilty?? I could never get past this part to suspend disbelief. She started and ended the show the same damn way.

Where are the TodayTix rush tickets normally located?

I’ve been curious about how the fog / haze / mist / smoke effects are created during Nicole’s performances of “With One Look” and “As If We Never Said Goodbye.” Is it just a mix of lighting and fans? It’s honestly one of my favorite moments of the show—it perfectly captures that moody, atmospheric vibe and pairs so beautifully with her haunting vocals.

When Naz addresses the audience the lights go down and a spotlight follows him around the stage. This isn’t a true follow-spot, but a hung moving light. He moves around quite a bit and this light often didn’t keep up with him, leaving him in the dark for seconds at a time. My lighting design knowledge is 20 years old. What type of light is this and is someone remotely controlling ...

WiCkEDrOcKS said: "My money is on MAYBE HAPPY ENDING."I thoroughly enjoyed MHE, but I honestly have no idea why they pushed The Rainy Day We Met as the lead single in their current PR campaign. It’s easily one of the weakest songs in the show, IMO, and only really works within the context of the full production.

MadsonMelo said: "I remember A LOT of people thinking that ''Come From Away'' and ''Mean Girls'' would take ''Book'' back in thoses races but the sheer power of popularity of ''DEH'' and ''Bands Visit'' made them take both Score and Book.think it's Maybe Happy Ending will be the same, but ''Dead Outlaw'' may get a consolation prize and ''Book'' seems more likely."TBV didn’t win Best Book because it was “popular”—it

Correct — it’s a completely different type of show, and Dead Outlaw isn’t written in the same way to evoke that same deep, “lump in your throat” emotional response that The Band’s Visit did. It’s interesting you brought up pacing, though, because one of the more common criticisms of The Band’s Visit at the time was that people found it too slow and quiet.

The show is quirky, and has its moments, but is also poorly paced and lacks any kind of emotional pull. I heard similar lukewarm reactions fromother audience members leaving the theatre. This may just be one of those shows that is adored by critics but less so by mainstream audiences. Will be interesting to see how the box office fares in the coming...

macbeth said: "Anyone else think it was a Rick Miramontez Tony stunt?"Canceling an entire performance, then having to deal with rebooking/refunds, for a “stunt” that could have gone horribly wrong? Nah.

Skip.

Bwaygurl2 said: "Looking at several pictures on Reddit, I've never seen a set seem so "swallowed up" by the house it's in. It looks like a child's playhouse in a huge black box. And other Off-Broadway transfers don't feel that way. Performances and score are great."If you’d actually seen it on Broadway instead of just relying on Reddit pics, you’d know the ‘black box’ transforms into something entirely different.

Caught the performance last night, and this show has only deepened and sharpened since its Off-Broadway run. People on here have questioned whether it’s “big enough” to hold a Broadway stage—I absolutely think it is, and then some. It delivers exactly what this season has been missing: guts, grit, and originality. The upgraded elements—the automated bandstand/train, the richer lighting design, and the expanded set pieces—give it just the right amount of theatrical oomph for its Broadway arriv...

Dying to know if the band’s set platform has any automation now?
