Any word if Jonathan is back in the show tonight?

I heard she is ill with laryngitis. It is true she has not missed a performance in 20 years. Get well soon!!

I just saw this and thought it was exquisite and probably the best score I've heard in the theatre in a few seasons. Sure some of it is "static" by today's attention span standards but not if you imagine it as an independent film or character study and wrestling with one's life "choices" and how they stack up with the real content of our lives. Every actor is wonderful, particularly the amazing women in the show and the design is simple and often breathtaking. I highly recommend this for folk...

This production appears to be based on the significantly revised version that premiered in Baltimore a few years ago. I was living in DC at the time and caught a preview performance and found it to be gorgeous and fascinating. Reminded me a bit of Hello Again in how it was structured. For those of us complaining about lack of original musicals and endless adaptations, I l'm glad to see this piece has made it's way to NY and hope to get there.

Just saw the Dale Soules is in this starring opposite Steven Skybell. Always a treat to see her on stage. -- ::goes to find my THE MAGIC SHOW album:::

I saw this play in its previous incarnation in Baltimore a few years ago at the Everyman Theatre. One of the best new American plays in years with a fascinating structure and great for anyone who enjoys docu-drama and stories about reframing and grappling with history. Went with my parents and we had so much to talk about after. Great to see the playwright Karen Hartman finally getting her due. One of our more underrated writers. Might make a trip to the city to see this one.

She also sings "Somebody Somewhere" from Most Happy Fella and "Another Hundred People." A big treat!

So excited for this!

Just got back from seeing these one act musicals at the TBG Theatre. I went as a fan of Rebecca Luker (and saw the last couple years offerings of this bi annual series), and she did not disappoint in a new piece by Jeff Blumencrantz; but the real gem of the evening is an amazing new piece called THE COSTUME by Daniel Zaitchik. Brilliant story, music and staging. Really surprising and the boy actor blew me away (sorry didn't save my playbill). Bunch of discounts available; it's worth checking ...

hope they record this!

I fully support Tonya after reading that full statement. Also, anyone else notice that Brian Kulick's "statements" are mostly quotes from THE EMPTY SPACE? LOL.

I went to the first preview. I can't recommend it enough. It's brilliant. I think it will be an enormous hit. Beautiful, funny, thought provoking, terrific performances & design.

Did you SEE it RippedMan? Also, there's no connection to the movie MILK. This is an abstract piece inspired by his life, not a biographic work.

Really? I thought it was extraordinary! What a thrilling score, beautifully performed. Also brilliantly directed. Kristin was in GREAT voice. All the marketing materials said it was an hour long oratorio; not sure why you have a complaint about that. Hope it gets a longer run somewhere. Also, a treat to meet 2 broadway world posters up in the nosebleeds!

Looks like some lower priced seats were released in case anyone was on the fence.

Is anyone planning on going? Been a longtime fan of this fantastic classical work by Andrew Lippa and looking forward to seeing the concert production. I'll be in the third tier and would love to meet other BWW'ers.

Thrilled to hear the report. I do love this show. Thanks!

this is apparently a new version of the show

Any reports on this? I had to cancel and go next week instead.

wow...yeah sounds about right!
