I'm sorry, but yes.

I was there this afternoon as well. James Moye, after a tentative beginning, was terrific; he sang it beautifully, and with more rehearsal could/would be a dynamite Oscar. It's Kristin Chenoweth's show though, and she is absolutely brilliant. It's the perfect marriage of actress and role; she knows it and appears to be having a ball with it. Having seen the wonderful, if inconsistent, Madeline Kahn, I imagine Cheno's performance is what Hal Prince was hoping to get from Kahn and didn't. I cou...

I saw HONEYMOON IN VEGAS last night, and I was entertained from beginning to end. Brash, funny, silly, and old-fashioned in the best sense, it is a complete charmer. Between this and ON THE TOWN – which I also loved – the Big Broadway Musical Style people around here are so nostalgic about and wishes they had seen is alive and there for everyone to experience.

I loved it, and you're right, Taz, the orchestra sounded much better than I expected.

Or it may have been that Gleason deserved the win?

And then there's this:

Will you please stop with this "curse of the theatre" crap? PLEASE!

Too bad. I saw it this afternoon and loved it. Great score, great performances.

Posh

I just saw it. And I loved it, far more than any of the stage productions I've seen. Arguably, it works better as a film since now it is one seamless story with a clear beginning, middle and end. I can't wait to see it again. And again. And again.

Someone wasn't cast in their high school production, and hasn't quite gotten over it yet.

I'm with you, Auggie. I've never liked it, not the original or the revival in 2000.

"I think people are too busy falling asleep after the opening number to underestimate it." I love you. I don't know you, but I love you.

I love this casting. Perfect from top to bottom, and in unexpected ways (at least for me, and at least in theory.)

I love that this production is getting the raves it's getting, AND I love PJs unbridled passion, excitement and joy about it. We should all have this wonderful exuberance; that's what brought us here in the first place.

Molly Pope. 'nuff said.

"Whether you liked the play or didn't is irrelevant. God bless PBS for bringing this to the TV screen. This is the kind of PBS I grew up on!" ^^^ THIS ^^^ I'm with PJ about THE NANCE, btw, but I'm thrilled PBS filmed and broadcast it. I'm also thrilled with the new "Theater Close Up" series showcasing off-Broadway plays they've created. Bringing less high-profile productions to a public that would NEVER get the chance to see these plays is a brilliant move, and very much, as Borstal pointed o...

"Might we allow it to open before we have this conversation?" Have you learned nothing in your 3+ years here on BWW?

It was a bore in La Jolla, too. "Good Lord, is Wildhorn your Loretta Swit?" I love you, Matt.
