A sampling:“They murdered dear old Bessy, I hear extremely messy.”“Poor old Archie is no more! They say there’s lots of blood and gore.”“No matter who we’re blaming, til they put what’s his name in there’s gonna be one flaming row”Beyond that, with the exception of Bonnie and Clyde, you could swap out entire songs from show to s...

I’m a very big Frank Wildhorn fan, I think it’s a shame that critics won’t even give him a chance at this point. Some of his newer shows are beautiful and are finding great success in Japan and Korea.

Utica, NY has a “secret show” being announced next month as a part of their 2018-2019 season. I would not be surprised one bit if Dolly will be teching here before it’s opening.

Got very lucky around 12:45 today and got a reserved seat. Was hoping for a floor seat but I’m still happy regardless now that I get to see this show. How does reserved seating work? I’m not familiar with the venue and didn’t see a seat number on the confirmation email. Also, does anyone know how long the show is? I can’t see any info about the duration on the NYTW website. Is it safe to presume the standard 2 hours and 45 minutes with a 15 minute intermission?

broadwayboy223 said: "Did they change the ending like Andrew said he was considering? Where Christine lives?"No, the original ending hasn’t changed. Christine still (spoiler alert— is this even a spoiler anymore?) dies at the gunshot from Meg. Actually the way it was staged, it almost seemed as if Meg was unapologetic about it. The original cast recording has Meg yelling “I didn’t mean to!” and I don’t think she said that when the gun went off, or at least I didn’t hear her say it if she did....

I got to see the (technically) first performance last weekend when Love Never Dies opened with performances in Utica, NY. I’ve loved this show since the beginning in London and I fell in love even more with this tour. It’s almost identical to the Australian production with a couple minor changes to the set and some changes to “The Beauty Underneath” and the scene where everyone is chasing after Gustave. The first night had a lot of technical difficulties. Immediately after “Coney Island Waltz...

I believe the current off-Broadway production of Sweeney Todd has a woman as Pirelli

Theatricality - noun- 1. The quality of being exaggerated and excessively dramatic (me). 2. The quality of relating to acting or the theater (what I love).I figured that word would be a good fit for my username.

Utica, NY

I'm glad Katie Rose Clarke was given the role of Ellen and that Tamsin Carroll didn't transfer to Broadway. Going off vocals alone, I thought Tamsin was horrible. I saw Saigon opening night on Broadway and thought Katie singing Maybe was amazing. For that reason alone I'd like to hear a Broadway revival recording. But, like everyone else has already said, the principles transferred to Broadway and it would honestly make no sense to record the show again.

and Dave Malloy is almost guaranteed one of his three Tony nominations.

Great Comet for Lighting Design and Scenic Design.
