If all were right in this world she would be a lock for best supporting actress."It will be a crime if she doesn't receive a nomination for her perfectly heart-filled performance. She would be an unquestioned frontrunner if the creative team had not made such a turgid show.

Shows have no choice but to aim for Broadway if they want to have any life at all, let alone enter the touring, cruise ships, and licensing markets. I'm sure that after its Broadway ru...

A transfer announcement is impending.

This feels more like UCB amateur hour than a play and every joke could have been, or already was, a tweet. Nowhere near as clever as Titanique.

There's a lot to enjoy but the show needed major re-orchestrating to match the ballroom energy. It sounds similar to the original recording and doesn't play with style nearly enough. You can watch the audience across from you slumping during every number like Gumbie Cat and Bustopher Jones where nothing particularly sensical or necessary is happening within the ballroom context. This new version of CATS makes about as much sense as CATS always has.

Sensational performances all around - and, yes, LOTS to discuss and think about afterwards.If I had to elevator pitch it, it's like TWELVE ANGRY MEN x WOMEN TALKING x THE CRUCIBLE - and while not as consistently strongas those works, it's rousing nonetheless. Atlantic has been killing it lately."Could not ag...

Strong choices – wrong choices. It is not the worst musical of the season, but that bar is low.

Agreed, this is a misfire and boring boring boring. It's too similar in story to Dear Evan Hansen but has none of the elements that made Evan Hansen work on stage. It doesn't do a great job managing the "young white man who lies to people" premise with no accountability, resolution, or personal consequences in sight for the character. This musical wouldn't pass a Dramaturgy 101 class, the plot points are glaringly obvious from several scenes away.Even with a weak story, I was disappointed in ...

A production of the original book to Grease would be a smart choice for Encores! with their new programming.

Bebe Neuwirth is attached to something this Spring, could very well be this production. I hope that it isn't The Bedwetter.

Well deserved win for the no-question Best Musical of the season. It's a better Broadway with original musicals like this one!

William Finn always writes for odd voices. Mary Testa, Michael Rupert, Chip Zien, Alison Fraser, Carolee Carmello, Kristin Chenoweth, Celia Keenan-Bolger, and so on.Contemporary voices like Rachel Bay Jones, Katie Thompson, Grace McLean, Shaina Taub, Mia Pak, Brittain Ashford, Reeve Carney, and favorites like Jane Krakowski, Alan Cumming, Mandy Patinkin, Glynis Johns, Ken Page, Fran Drescher, Liza Minnelli, hell even Jackie Hoffman.

Confirmed my own question, Zegler did indeed participate in The Notebook during workshops. They are certainly coming to Broadway next season, they are just waiting for a theatre to be available.

Wasn’t she attached to The Notebook at some point?

It is obvious that the reviews were not interested in calling out what good there is. It's not all good, don't get me wrong, but we agreed it was more fun and worth seeing than SIX or Almost Famous (which came up because Tom Kitt was in tonight's crowd). The cast is strong, giving insane vocals throughout, and you don't need to have any previous familiarity with KPOP or the Korean language. Definitely have a drink and enjoy the energy, performances, design, and choreography. Ignore the book a...

Deserving enthusiastic raves for the best new musical of the season. Let the producers do their job to build an audience and capitalize on the reviews, and if you're that concerned about a good show surviving a difficult season then go purchase a ticket for yourself and a friend.

The second act was more effective than the first because it has most of the better songs, but I'm in the minority of opinions here it seems. There really is no perspective on the situation or characters and everyone behaves exactly as you predict they will. There are no surprises or momentum to the drama.By removing all of Leo Frank's skittish tendencies (I assume to avoid comparison to Evan Hansen) they've also removed his only defining trait. Now when other characters exaggerate Frank's ner...

Boy, this show has the subtlety of a sledgehammer. It’s a shame such a glorious score lands with such a thud onstage, and the inability to make out the lyrics at City Center is not helping. Jay Armstrong Johnson missed all the high notes in his number, but everyone is uniformly good. I have no doubt this will be a success but I can’t say I’m enjoying it so far.

Caught this again and it's even tighter in later previews. Clark, Milligan, and Cooley are giving some of my favorite performances on Broadway in recent memory. I have to disagree with the comments about the score, the group I went with left humming "Skater Planet", "Better", and "The Inevitable Turn" if not other songs too. Most of them were not regular theatergoers and wondering if there was a cast recording, so they enjoyed it enough to think about listening to it later on.I really feel li...
