This thread has prompted me to ask - was Hamilton in theaters really supposed to be a sing-along?Because a large corner of TikTok seems to think so, and some are actually creating an uproar if they're told not to sing during the movie, others griping that their theater was "too quiet" and they walked out.

Sutton Ross said: "Yeah no."My sentiments exactly.

It just seems like an odd Pitch Perfect (although far from it) performance with period style costumes. I was hoping to be excited and enticed to buy tickets but this was a swing and a miss for me in terms of promotion. I hear great thin...

I think there was maybe one verse from an NSY...

The closer to the theater district the better, but open to Hell's Kitchen or the on either side of the general midtown area"I second a previous poster and highly recommend Hold Fast.I also recommend Dutch Fred's and Mom's Kitchen, also both located in Hell's Kitchen. Looks like Mom's even offers brunch all day.https://menus.dutchfreds.com/fullhttps://www.eatatmomsnyc.com/location/mo...

I can't remember the last time my heart sank like this upon hearing the news of a celebrity death.John Travolta wrote the sweetest tribute. So sad he has lost 3 loved ones to this disease.

WOW that peanuts story is beyond uncouth. Nevermind barn dance - he belongs in a pigsty.I'm also in the lucky minority as I've never had an unpleasant Broadway experience, not even at Rock of Ages.

Aaron Tveit's El Tango De Roxanne was sick too. Hands down my favorite part of the show.I second Sutton's emotion about one star for Hamilton. I saw it for the first time last month (and with an understudy on for Hamilton) and was like, 'how was I sitting on seeing this one for years?' Probably because I could see 5 shows for the price of 1 back then.

They'll need to provide a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of curtain, or a negative rapid antigen test taken within 6 hours of curtain.

If I remember correctly, there wasn't any sexual innuendo or cussing in Moulin Rouge. The most risque thing about the show I'd say would be the dancing. The dancers' costumes are pretty revealing.

OP, do you have the time/budget to see both the time you are here? If so, definitely do it!

Jennifer Nettles as Jenna in Waitress I didn't think I would ever love anyone else's performance as Jenna more than Jessie Mueller's, but Jennifer Nettles really surpassed that and more. There was not one thing I didn't love about her performance. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see her in it twice, from the first and second row in center orchestra. It was amazing to be part of her standing ovation for SUTBM, and just a few feet away from her. Worth every penny.

Another vote for Rock of Ages. Hated the casting - Tom Cruise was so wrong as Stacee Jaxx, I couldn't understand how Jack Black wasn't a shoe-in to play Lonny (unless he was and declined). And if they wanted to go for a household name cast, ..why stop with Drew? I also didn't like the plot/character changes, and how they omitted the fact that Sherrie did have sex with Stacee, not the reporter. Not sure if that was because Julianne Hough has (had?) a wholesome reputation they wanted to maintai...

I sometimes wonder if the casting team reads these boards.

Never heard of her. I'm disappointed they didn't cast a bigger name to close out the show too.
