I thought it worked better at the Daryl Roth than at the St. James, and I sorely missed Russell Daniels as Ruth and Carrie St. Louis as Rose, and I liked the Iceberg better downtown too. The design and use of neon isoverwhelming and garish to look at sometimes.

I also thought the sound was pretty muddy on Broadway, which is a pr

Caught this last night via lottery win and got to see both Austin and Phoenix. My worries of missing both leads were relieved as soon as the show started. I thought both hit on all cylinders. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this. The score is strong and set it used in a very creative way. I am more cold on the book. The first act was nearly perfect but act two got slow in too many places. 

Not that anyone cares, but seeing both this and Lost Boys in the same day really left

I mean can you all take your victory lap now?

It is no secret I liked the show (and obviously am in the small, small minority on that), but do we have to keep dancing on the grave? 
 

I feel like this entire thread proves the entire point of Arden’s post (as well as others on the cast/creative team). 
 

I think most of the criticisms of the show are valid and wouldn’t challenge those at all. I just find it extremely strange that t

Anyone else have sound issues in the loge? We sat in the last row this past weekend and the sound felt so muted and honestly distracted from the show. I’ve never had volume be an issue for me at any show so was taken aback.

I was totally ready to hate this show (I thought Redwood was a flaming pile of dog mess) but I wouldn't miss Sherie on Broadway for anything. With that being said...

I... actually kind of liked this show.

I saw this yesterday afternoon and have been searching for what to say. As I’ve previously posted, I am a sucker for a Schwartz score so even the bad word of mouth and reviews couldn’t keep me away. 
 

At the end of the day, I really enjoyed the show. The first act really sucked me in and I personally really enjoyed the opening number, The Ballad of the Timeshare King, and Pretty Wins. The second act is not as successful as I could mostly agree that the show

Everyone kvetching about changes.. the narrator... song placement.. lack of chemistry ( there's no f-ing lack of chemistry!)...etc etc... They'rewrong. Simple as that.

The story has been streamlined and goes from one banger to another. From one sensational moment to another. There's intrigue and palpable anxienty. The audience is on the edge of their seats wondering what will happen next. The end brings a real emot
