Profile for MsPiety&Rectitude

Saw her last year at the Keswick Theater just outside Philadelphia and agree that she sounded incredible and gave a really special, engaging concert. Great song choices, charming introductions and stories, and gorgeous vocals. I'd love to see her in an Encores show or something else high-quality/low-commitment to make it work for her.

I saw her cabaret act earlier this year and thought she was in great voice and very winning with the audience -- I'm planning to see her again next time I have the chance.

Saw this over the weekend and had a great time. The ensemble numbers were particularly exciting -- incredible choreo, strong & loud vocals, lots of specific characterization. I found nearly the whole primary cast to be excellent. Bryonha Marie was especially moving, with a beautiful voice and extremely natural performance. Jordan Donica and Rob McClure were reliable as always.Unfortunately, I echo what some others have said regarding Ana Villafañe. She was actually a better singer than I expe...

She’s explicitly said she wants to play Fosca in PASSION and Desiree in NIGHT MUSIC. I’d like to add Phyllis in FOLLIES to that list as well."These are all wonderful but let's remember she's only 46. And respectfully, she doesn't look or sound it. So I think there's stilltime before she gets to thes...

In this thread, we have seen racism, antisemitism, prejudice, misogyny, discussion of war, discussions of drink. All of these things can cause people harm. All of them can trigger something, all of them can simply cause upset. A school where a child is being bullied is not a safe environment for the child, even though those are just words. At a certain point, the toxic of this thread...

The KC cast was excellent. For me, the highlight was Noah Galvin, who I wasn't sold on before seeing this production, and who brought such a fun and fresh take to a role that is often overplayed. Also thought Beanie was great, and same with Bonnie (as always). Also want to shout out Nina White, who was a heartbreaking and vocally powerful Olive. Actually realizing as I type this that I liked just about everyone. I would love to see it again in NY.

Wondering what happened is not gaslighting.To be fair—Kolton doesn’t owe an explanation beyond what they posted either. But this is a discussion board so people will, well, discuss."I know exactly what it means, thanks. I wasn't referring to people who are wondering what happened, I was referring to people who are trying to come up with reasons why Kolton shouldn't or doesn't feel uncomfortable despite.....

Yesss please!

It ended up being a miserable experience thanks to this "look at me watch the show" group. I understand deeply connecting to a productionbut when your response is so over-the-top and performative that you negatively affect patrons around you- idk I feel like they're alienating the very thing their belovedmusica...

I loved the music in Stereophonic, but it was... about three and a half songs? For this reason alone, it feels to me like it would be a slap in the face to musical theatre composers to give the Best Score Tony to Stereophonic. I personally wanted to see Lempicka nominated in this category, but I think DoWaR is a very deserving winner. While Suffs is plucky and unusual for Bway, I think that the DoWaR is much more sophisticated and dramatic -- qualities that I think should be rewarded in this ...

Charley Kringas Inc said: "This is one of those shows that's frustrating precisely because you can see the parts of it that are really great, and how they're muffled by the parts that aren't.First off, I loved the score, even if the melody is often let down by pedestrian lyrics. These are just fun songs to listen to - Don't Bet Your Heart, Perfection, The Most Beautiful Bracelet, Pari Will Always Be Pari, Women, Stay, What She Sees, and Just This Way are all going to get heavy spotify rotatio...

yyys said: "Cut that creepy child character and give the husband some depth and maybe another song or two."In previous iterations, the husband Tadeusz had a song called “The Exchange” that was exciting and dramatic - it took place at his bank teller window where he laments the menial work he’s taken on and continues to agonize over how Tamara got him out of the revolutionaries’ prison. His new song, “Wake Up,” is, unfortunately, a total slog and takes up time without adding anything to his ch...

To me, and to almost everyone I’ve spoken to about it in person, it’s a conceptual mess."i hear you but i feel like *im* crazy because while these are perfectly legitimate criticisms of the show, and i agree with some of them, the response to Suffs has been "solid but middling score" or to Hells Kitchen as "dumb as bricks book but great songs...

binau said: "Sorry to be one of those people, but I couldn't help myself and 'hear' about some of the music - at least from La Jolla. Eden sounded a little off pitch in 'Woman Is" all the way back then! However, I'm struck just at how beautiful some of the music is. "I Will Paint her", "Woman Is", "In The Blasted California Sun". I don't think these are just average songs, and Eden's beautiful low vocals wraping throughout are so nice and unusual. The music is so odd it kind of feels like cro...

Jordan Catalano said: "I really do like this show and I'm happy others are finding it and enjoying it, as well. For all the praise certain performers are getting, I want to single outAlly Bonino as Lucy Burns. She's so crazy talented and I had forgotten just how much I loved her in the role."Ally was a highlight for me at the Public – she brings so much heart to the show. And an absolutely beautiful voice! Hoping her number toward the end is still in the show, that was the moment I found most...

ColorTheHours048 said: "Kad said: "This doesn’t sound like a show that can be fixed in previews. They’ve had two productions, several workshops, and many years at this point."Exactly this. The show’s issues are deeper than another 3 weeks of putting the show in front of an audience. Maybe they’ll add or subtract more music or book scenes, they’ll tighten transitions, modify costumes and scenic elements, and generally brush up the cosmetic appearance. But it won’t solve the problem that there’...

GilmoreGirlO2 said: "Many beautiful songs that felt very necessary for the story and character development (“Burn it Up,” “Stillness,” and “The Exchange&rdquo have been cut and the majority of the songs (although not all) that have been added since Williamstown are far less superior, in my opinion... I have tickets for a few weeks from now and am looking forward to seeing what changes they make. (Is it too much to hope for “Burn it Up” and “Stillness” to be reinstated?)"I was also shocked to ...

Saw the show tonight and loved it. The cast is so good… Eden’s performance is phenomenal, she’s such an exciting and compelling actor. Amber Iman is perfect. Beth Leavel nails her big scene/song. And George Abud! He could win a Tony for this.
