I was also at the invited dress tonight and can confirm that Benanti is hilarious; think her performance in "SOM Live" amped up to a hundred. She could absolutely snag a nomination come Tony time. The rest of the cast absolutely hold their own, each with individual great moments, particularly Key in one scene mid-way through.As a play itself, there seems to be a bit of work to be done. Regardless, it's an awful lot of fun, and I'm sure the writing will change a bit as previews go on. The crea...

WhizzerMarvin said: "The Egg song was performed by Cesar Alvarez, who did indeed write Futurity (which I missed). Can you explain the context of the song in the show? Thanks "It's a little fuzzy in my mind at this point, so if anyone members the exact context a little better, feel free to chime in. Basically the show felt to me like a narrative based song cycle of the relationship between creation/birth and death/war. SLIGHT SPOILERS: This song punctuated the finishing of the main character's...

I was beyond confused."I didn't get it either. And I don't think many others did. I definitely could have done without the new work. I was just there for Groff really. I didn't see the jamboree, but it sounds to me that this song was the Act II opener from "Futurity" at Soho Rep. last season, in which it was used qu...

I would say that "Comedy Tonight" is one.

School of Rock:B-: I warmed up to it as it finished, but I really just think it is a lousy song, lyrically speaking, so that really hindered the number for me. Shuffle Along:A-: I loved this! It was messy and disjointed, but that completely heightened the energy and creativity of the song for me. Weird, wacky and wonderful, especially the loopy "rapping" sections. Fiddler on the Roof: B-: Certainly didn't hate it as much as everyone else, though I was a little bewildered that they decided not...

"This is a Great Country" from Mr. President

I've always wanted "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" on vinyl. Also, not a cast album, but I would KILL for a vinyl release of Mary Testa's "Have Faith" album.

laughingplace said: "BBAJ should have choose a smaller theatre "Funny, I immediately thought of this show for picking the right space. I've never seen a theatre interact, living and breathing, with a show so well. While I'm sure a lot of that had to do with the scenic design, I felt like BBAJ really owned the theatre. Size wise of course, it was indeed a financial mistake. "Rocky" was huge, but I thought it fit the theatre perfectly, especially in those last twenty minutes. Come to think of i...

But Carolee told me the creative team is still deciding whether they'll keep it that way. This news really upsets me. While it didn't move the evening forward at all, it was one of the most fun numbers in the show with some of the better music and lyrics of the evening. Some really clever rhymes there. Perhaps the song would've wor...

For me, the ones that I can come back to again and again are Grand Hotel, Me and My Girl, Hedwig, Walking Happy, A Christmas Story, Catch Me If You Can, and what I think to be the best Tony Awards performance of all time: The Full Monty.Personally, I also love the 2009 Guys and Dolls performance, but it's definitely an acquired taste.
