I wasn't at her final show, but absolutely want to give her her flowers. what an astonishing achievement. the video their social team put out when the company came back to rehearse together in Sept 2021, the moment she opened her mouth, I was a total puddle. What a force she is. Well done, legend.

He’s definitely a ham for sure and that’s what the role requires."I said the same thing, I would never have thought of it but that's also why I'm not a casting director! I think he's such a great choice and this feels like a really fun pivot from the physicality that playing Louis Armstrong required. We know he can ham, and I know they're bringing in Chery...

My thoughts exactly. I deeply feel for people like Josh & Raymond J Lee (going from Heart of Rock & Roll to Swept Away & Tammy Faye), I can't imagine how stressful and frustrating it is. Swept Away is such a specific show, and I am an Avett Brothers fan. I don't regret seeing it, and that I got to tell John Gallagher Jr that I felt like we'd grown up together because I'm the same age as most of the Spring Awakening cast. He couldn't have been more gracious. Did I want to bring my family who w...

thank you Jordan for the reminder to go back & listen to Jonathan/Samantha Barks on YouTube. I never got to see the original, but I did see Adam & Betsy in 2013 and it was so so special. I agree that this music could fit Nick's voice a lot better than Les Mis did. And Adrienne singing Still Hurting?? COME ON. This 2025 Best Actress in a Musical race has truly turned into one for the history books.

I was at the 1st preview tonight, merch was a sash and a sticker. Started maybe 8-10 minutes late, not sure whether it was because of technical issues or seating people. I was in the last row of the mezz and about 8 seats directly in front of me were empty so it wasn't a full house. Jenn Colella got a huge ovation when the curtain came up, it didn't seem like she expected it, sweet moment. Almost every major character got entrance applause which was A. confusing (I didn't see the show at The ...

I've been reading all the feedback here and I was curious to see what the reviews had been of Waitress (I wasn't living in the city when it opened and obviously there's a "songwriter comes to musical theatre" thru line with Sara Bareilles/Ingrid Michaelson). Given that it ran for 4 years, they were more mixed than I'd realized. They mostly all praised Jessie Mueller (as most have praised Joy Woods) and gave a ton of kudos to Chris Fitzgerald. There were negatives around Earl being a one-note ...

How was Ryan Vasquez? I saw him twice in The Wrong Man and in Waitress, his voice and presence were just incredible, it's really cool to see him get this chance to shine in the lead role.

I was there last night, Myles is out this weekend and Aramie Payton was on. I thought he was FABULOUS. And the cheers he got from the rest of the cast at the end were absolutely incredible. That's a beast of a role and he was incredible. The dancing in general is unlike anything I've ever seen, and it's FULL OUT the whole time. I'm seeing all these posts about the audiences, and I have to agree. It was really horrible last night, people having full conversations, so many cell phones, the poor...

what an incredible night. truly. what a gift to have been there. to have the whole original cast AND original band? amazing they were able to make it happen. ticketing was definitely nuts, sounded like there may have been a printing issue? people weren't mad in the line, we were just confused because no one was updating us, we were just standing in the cold. anyway, everyone sounded incredible, I'll second the person who said Skylar's vocals, Touch Me was a WOW. they all so easily slipped bac...

and now the system is "undergoing maintenance," that's what happens when you release tickets 2 weeks ago. this was the 1st broadway show I ever saw, keeping my fingers crossed I can get in to see this!

I'm laughing/cringing that this thread popped up tonight because I was going to post on it after coming from evening show of A Soldier's Play. I've lived in NY almost 3 years and I love theatre. Tonight's audience was awful, full stop. People taking pictures (including 2 using the flash RIGHT as the scene went black at the end of the show), 3 separate phones went off and the guy next to me unwrapping what I think were individual KitKat bars for about 10 mins. I nudged him to please stop more ...

100% agree with Whizzer, I knew nothing about the play coming in and it didn't feel dated at all. I was laughing way more than I thought I would, then suddenly pulled into these heartbreaking moments. I could see the really beautiful chemistry that Bomer & Parsons have from having worked together on The Normal Heart. They have a cool two-hander really during the first 1/4 of the show, and I thought they played off each other well. Bomer's character does fade into the background a bit as other...

I, too, had a bad audience behavior incident at Fiddler, mine happened Saturday night, sitting in the mezz. There's almost no legroom to begin with, but I somehow ended up between two large men (different parties), who spoke no English, had no concern for personal space & spent most of the show exhaling, opening & closing their water bottles & trying to explain to the people they were with what was going on in their native language. Additionally, the couple in front of me was whispering & mak...

I'd kill to see the video, but the Tumblr audio of "As Long as You're Mine" was RIDICULOUS. The harmonies gave me goosebumps, sounds like it was a fantastic 1st show for them!

Re: the poster about the kid from Matilda who came over from the London cast, I remember reading something about one of his parents securing a job transfer within his company, that's how he was able to come to the states with the show

My friend and I were hoping to get into the 5/10 show, and I started trying to put in the promo code before 9am, and by 5 after 9 (I'm in CA) all the tickets were gone. I think 54 Below handled it the best they could, but it was still kind of a mess.

While I was disappointed that I missed him both times I saw the show (1st the weekend his mom died 2nd when he was on vacation), his explanation for why he "disappeared" makes complete sense. I can't imagine how disappointed he was not to be able to continue with the show, but Ben Hope has stepped in admirably and done a great job, he has had the chance to really make the role his own. I wish Steve the best of luck in whatever he does next.
