Out now on streamingI'm loving this recording! The cast sounds fantastic -- Taylor Trensch and Kerry Butler are (unsurprisingly) highlights, and Alex Newell's "Children, Children" captures the energy of that moment so perfectly.I've enjoyed catching moments that remind me of the scores in Legally Blonde and Heathers. I love Laurence O'Keefe!

I can’t wait for the full recording!I do feel like this would have been a good opportunity to release a song performed by either of the Tony winners… maybe that’s just because I’m dying to hear Have to Have You and Wild again.

Has there been any word about a cast recoding? I saw this again on Saturday and am eager to listen to a few of the songs again — the cast is fantastic

Reddit says the cast was in the studio last week -- I didn't catch any of the photos/posts, but I'm so excited to know this is coming! I loved the NYCC cast and the new songs.It would be odd to me if they're recording this and still planning for a Broadway transfer (not that I'd complain). Maybe they're going to see how the album is received before making a decision?

I do feel that Tony voters tend to prefer original, emotionally-driven, American-grown shows for Best Musical. However, since we don't have one of those this year (as Schmig, Lost Boys, Titanique, Versailles, & Beaches are all based on some form of pre-existing IP & Two Strangers is a West End transfer), it will be interesting to see what happens. I don't think Schmigadoon deserves it any less than Two Strangers or Lost Boys (in my mind, those are the only 3 realistic options) -- especially c...

Auggie27 said: "This piece is bringing out a hard to describe response in a diverse audience. Both nostalgia via a reminted chunk of another era, and something distinctly very 2026. It's emotion-fueled, filled with yearning and - the dark story of abandonment - a daring, unapologetic melancholy to enhance the eventual cathartic redemption. And it's got hot young performers who ignite in front of us. People exit feeling stirred. All of the quibbles, and I noted a nitpicky handful here last wee...

Obviously both are polarizing (even just within the few replies here), but I went into the show blind and then watched the movie after. I would recommend that -- there are a couple of surprises ("twists" may be too strong of a word) that I enjoyed experiencing for the first time in the theater.

Stunned once again at how many changes have been made in only a week (most for the better though I miss the post bow scene). Truly enough changes that I think CoffeeBreak should pretend to see the show again."What did you think about the song?

pagereynolds said: "I don't care what anyone does in the audience if it doesn't ruin someone else's experience."My feelings exactly -- taking photos or videos, talking, or audibly eating/drinking during the show is unacceptable and I have no problem respectfully addressing those situations when they arise because I know not everyone was raised in the theater.If the entire audience was filming the curtain call and the actors were taking their bows in silence, we could revisit Leslie's concerns...

CoffeeBreak said: "The physical / set / visual production is great. The direction of the material itself, music(with writers), tone, some of the actors performances, construct (with writers) islacking and covered by high money tech. Direction of a new musical is much more than the physical visual show.it's music video but the repetitive elevators/scene changes and choices of when and how long flying occurs gets old. (agree, with previous poster,that watching where the wires are in the light a...

I got tickets for the first performance post-Tonys — feels like it’s going to be the place to be!

I went in with little info or expectations — I’d never heard of the movie (my apologies to the legendary Joel Schumacher) and knowing it was about vampires made me less excited. I was so, so pleasantly surprised! I had a great time and will be back post-opening.Michael Arden is directing the hell out of it and the praise for the set and staging is very earned. It feels like a huge, real Broadway Show, and after seeing weak Beaches earlier this week, I was so glad to be entertained. Really imp...

I’m curious to see what they do with it."I was at the show tonight — Wind Beneath My Wings was just Jessica onstage, I guess it was supposed to be at one of Cee Cee’s concerts based on the gown she was wearing. The piece of stage she was standing on moved her forward a little towards the audience. Near the end, Young & Teen Cee Cee joined her onstage, but it was only Jessica singing. I found the...

NOWaWarning said: "If we’re throwing out dream replacements, I have many. But I think my number one picks are Renée Elise Goldsberry for Madeline and Leslie Kritzer for Helen."Renée would be a fabulous Madeline, but I bet if she agreed to do anything, it would be Viola (which would also be fabulous)

Last night was a blast! It was exactly as expected and the cast had fantastic energy. If you love Mamma Mia!, or if you aren't familiar with it, you'll have a great time. I doubt it will win over any haters, but it's their loss.Jalynn Steele's Tanya was the highlight for me, and Christine Sherrill made a stellar Broadway debut as Donna.The set was completely serviceable, even if not super sturdy looking.CATSNYrevival said: "It's not like they cheaped outon this tour, this is just what most (a...

I had a fantastic time (after being a fan of the show since the original Off-Broadway production)! There are so many great numbers and the cast is phenomenal. As others have mentioned, McKenzie devours as Heather Chandler. I had to force myself to take my eyes off of her during multiple scenes where she wasn't meant to be the focus. Lorna was fantastic (as expected) and I found her Veronica to be more likeable than in the original production and pro-shot. I was very impressed by Casey Likes; ...
