BUMP! Offer still good today, Sunday. Did anyone end up going yesterday?

Hello BWW, Sorry for the late notice but for anyone in NYC this weekend, there is an opportunity to see a really cool off-Broadway musical FOR FREE at Theater 80 in the East Village. It's called Hereafter, and here's a synopsis from the website (hereaftermusical.com): "Three women have come together one afternoon for a reading at the Middletown, New Jersey home of psychic, Jason Richards. They each have had difficulty coping with the loss and of their loved one and are desperate to make conta...

I reiterate "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast and "Downtown" from Little Shop.

Jamie in The Last 5 Years

I go alone a lot...I'm usually in the city by myself for breaks during school and such. It's hard to remember but I think maybe Light in the Piazza might have been one of the first. For me it's actually an exciting rarity when someone sees a Broadway show with me.

Very funny. Well done.

She looked and sounded great but I thought the whole performance just fell a little flat...maybe the tempo felt slow to me or something. I haven't seen the show but it didn't quite draw me in. I enjoyed watching her sing though.

Is that the musical about the white radio guy (can't remember his name) who played "black" songs on the radio and there was a big uproar? It's playing in Seattle later this season as well. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

How about "She Loves Me Not" from Closer Than Ever?

This whole thread is ridiculous. As someone said before, Bart has done numerous TV and movie appearances, and Norbert is starting to show up in commercials and movies as well, and they still do Broadway. And even if they didn't, what's the big deal? Good for them, I hope the pilot gets picked up.

Hahaha I definitely just came on Broadwayworld to see if there was a thread about this because I just saw the commercial. Glad to see you're all on top of the ball.

Brian d'Arcy James. Love him in everything he does.

Yeah I did Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and the title characters don't ever leave the stage...and that play is almost 3 hours.

Lion Tamer?

Eh, it was cool to hear them talk about the process and what they like about it and how it's different from the movie, etc. but yeah, would've been nice if they gave a little preview of a song or something. Oh well, thanks CapnHook.

Thank you!

Proud of your Boy is what came to my head, but I guess it doesn't work if you're a girl.

I have to agree with Roscoe...George Hearn was just too loud and one-note. Cerveris was creepy as hell so I'd have to say he's my favorite. I only know Cariou from the cast recording and he's great on that, but I haven't seen him live so I can't count him.

I haven't seen the musical and it sounds like it ends quite differently than the movie, but I know the movie quite well, and I think considering that Molina shows such kindness and friendship towards Valentin basically throughout, Valentin at least appreciates that Molina is the only person helping him. By the end they grow very close and I don't think it's out of the question that there are genuine feelings there.
