They didn’t let the audience into the theater until fifteen till eight so it was clear they were still rehearsing. His vibe is younger and more modern which actually works well.

The Joe Gillis understudy is on tonight.

I appreciate the discussion about the various meanings of Lloyd’s choices, however my takeaway is that Lloyd didn’t apply much logic to his decisions but went with feelings. Yes, there were moments that made me scratch my head whenever I thought about them logically. And yet, for me, even with those moments, the evening added up to a spectacular whole. The more I start to think about the piece, the more I tried to focus on the feelings and the emotions of each beat and less about the logic. D...

I just got home. That was ****ing incredible. I did not expect any of that. I’ve seen the original and the concert version. Jamie Lloyd had such a unique and distinct vision for this and he really pulled it off. This is not at all the Sunset from 30 years ago. It was thrilling and terrifying. Get tickets now. I imagine this will be the talk of the town.

TaffyDavenport said: "I saw the original Broadway production 9 times, and nothing willreplace that, but this version absolutely thrilled me. Gorgeously sung and acted by everyone, but extremely cheeky and clever, and, in the end, savage and devastating. Nicole absolutely lives up to the hype, and I can’t wait to see it again."And we’re off to the races. As a lifelong ALW fan, this is shaping up to be a wonderful year.

The producers have perfectly timed the opening of this show. I imagine there will still be a lot of buzz from the Wicked movie. They can use some of that press to promote Idina’s return to Broadway.

I saw the London production and thought it was over-hyped. I agree with the NY reviews. I kept waiting for the show to blow my mind and while there were moments of brilliance it never felt cohesive. I thought the Mendes production was stronger. I also found “Guys & Dolls” disappointing especially after all of the raves it received.

Now I'm getting this message:Due to technical difficulties, the Sunset Blvd. Priority Pre-Sale will begin tomorrow, April 3 at 10 a.m. ET.

We saw this last night and the show is in fantastic shape. Ben Cook and Rachel Lockhart were phenomenal. The entire band and the singers were top notch and delivered a perfect version of the album. I cannot recommend this sweet, imperfect show enough. I'm hoping it has a successful Broadway run!

I've had nearly a week to think about the show and my opinion still stands. This was a regional theater production moved to Broadway.The original -- which had a much larger budget, big effects, and a larger cast -- revolutionized the use of projections and live video in the theater. Folks went wild for it because it was like nothing they had seen and it mended seamlessly into the story. Since then, this tech has become commonplace in almost all live events. This is a large part of the reason ...

It’s intermission. I’m center orchestra, six rows back. This is not loud. I have no idea what everyone has been talking about. They could turn it up a notch to give it a bit more energy. I’m not kidding.I can see how this show was well-received regionally but this is not Broadway-caliber. I feel like I’m watching a great regional theater production. The set is serviceable, the staging is messy and doesn’t hold a candle to the original. I don’t get the raves about the choreo. I winced a lot du...

I grew up listening to the Broadway album but never got the chance to see the show. I aim so excited this is coming back and cannot wait to catch it.

I was there last night and my guest and I loved it. It was fun, uplifting, and the cast hit it out of the park. From the start of the show, we were rooting for the seven kids. They didn't let us down. My one quibble with the show is that it could be tightened. It was 2 hours and 40 minutes and they need to lose 20 minutes. The writers clearly wanted to give each of the seven kids moments to shine and also show ways in which their teacher and their parents are learning and growing. That's wond...

I saw an advance screening of this and I can't say I was a fan. The performances are good but the entire focus of the film is on their marriage and not their work. In fact, their work is only mentioned in exposition. There's one moment where you see him conduct for an extended period of time -- about five minutes -- and that's about it. If you're looking for a movie about Leonard Bernstein's career and career achievements, this isn't it.

I'll be there on the 15th!

Sutton Ross said: "Love the diversity of this cast. I hope it's a hit!"I agree! I can't wait to see it. I'm grabbing tix for the first preview.

I finally saw this and the critics have overhyped it. It was enjoyable but by no means did it change my life. The staging is nothing we haven't seen before. It's fun but it's been done elsewhere with other musicals. The real highlight of the evening is Marisha Wallace as Adelaide. For the first time I saw a version of this character that didn't make her into a "sexy baby" to quote Taylor Swift. She spoke like a normal person and came across as a strong women. What a revelation! When viewed th...

I saw the original production and then the concert version with Glenn. I thought the original production was spectacular. Truly incredible. The concert was a big letdown but the biggest issue I had with it was that the score was constructed around the original set. These big musical swells and long pauses in the signing are meant to accommodate grand set changes and big scenic reveals. When you have a minimalist version using the original score it's full of dead space and the movement of the ...

"A quick google would tell you she attended a workshop of the show in 2018."That's back when she was still in a conservatorship that she said gave her zero control of her life, her career, and her day-to-day activities.
