I'll repeat what I said in the prior thread - I do agree that it feels more like an off-broadway show - but I did genuinely enjoy it. I finally got around to seeing outsiders on my last trip (cause it was on TKTS) and I liked Two Strangers 10 times better! I also en

I’ll likely wear a nice top and shorts - casual, but still somewhat dressy. Will I stick out like a sore thumb…?"

They will put a black cape over you to cover your outfit if they don’t deem it appropriate. I saw it happen with a gentleman in my group. He looked like he wore a bright blue polo and khakis.

I LOVED Sidney Jones, I thought she was a very smart actress with her scenes and had a very clear concept of who she wanted Betty to be. I know other people have said this production actually figured out Betty, but I never felt that and always thought Betty was the weak link in the show

aces25 said: "What are the differences? How are the special effects different?"

I was actually quite impressed with what they were able to tour with. It’s a tech-heavy show.

As someone else mentioned, the courthouse isn’t an actual set piece but I don’t think I even realized at the time. 

The McFly home both inside and out are scaled down with less physical set pieces. Same with the diner.

There are less lights accompanying

n2nbaby said: "I thought they did a great job with downsizing the set. The only thing I REALLY noticed was the death scene in Ready Set (is that what it’s called? lol) is different."

I thought they did a great job too. It was mostly the transitions with the house set that the downsizing was really noticeable.

Is there a chance for the tour cast to use the old Broadway set? I feel like that would give this show the extra push to see it there rather than w

Anyone has a say in which one I could get a better view?"

I’ve seen the show twice from front row balcony. The view is perfect. You don’t need to lean forward at all. I wouldn’t risk it, as rush can be all the way to the side, even if it’s technically “clos

BwayLB said: "I’m torn between either Some Like It Hot or & Juliet to see when their tours come to SoCal in the late summer/early fall. I’ve been wanting to see both shows and they look like fun shows. So should I hurry or wait until they hit regional theaters?"

I felt like the &Juliet tour experience was pretty close to the Broadway experience. There’s just so much joy and this particular cast is so delightful to watch. Teal Wicks really ma

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "I think it’s just stylized computer generated graphics, which are not the same thing as AI generated images. There are several set pieces, props, dressings, lighting effects, etc. Its scenic design does not solely rely on AI in the way that the recent revival of The Wiz did (which was the biggest disappointment after seeing theconcept renderings).

Like it or not, AI is about to abused to death as a cost-cutting measure, so I really don’t

rg7759 said: "I hate if this is true, but I fear sound and picture are worsened on purpose to encourage buying premium format"

I saw it in IMAX and thought the colors were so vivid and loved the sound. The vibrations were so strong and I felt like I was "in" the movie. If you haven't seen it in IMAX, it's definitely worth the price.

On another note, much as I loved seeing Kristin & Idina, I wasn't actually all that fond of the One Sho

Phantom4ever said: "Also, could you imagine anyone laughing at Maria's chandelier? I certainly could never."

I distinctly remember the first time I saw Phantom on Broadway I thought “This can’t be the real chandelier can it?” because it looked so hokey to me. The flimsy movement as it rose was very underwhelming. And I’m a huge Phantom fan and was so excited for this. 

If they bring this back to Broadway, I just hope they

FANtomFollies said: "I finally saw this last night and it really does live up to the hype around it. So many creative choices that really serve the material in surprising ways. I think it's easier to point out the few flaws than to try to list all of the positives with this one. For me, 'Memory' was the big disappointment. I understand the decision to cast an actual ballroom legend, versus a someone known for musical theater - but it resulted in a Memory that lackedthe vo
