I guess I must have a higher pain threshold or something, because I didn’t think this was nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. I think its biggest sins are that it feels like a show from 30 or 40 years ago (which considering that the youngest person on the writing team is 82 years old makes sense), its cheap set and costume design make the recent revival of THE WIZ look lavish and expensive in comparison, and the music is just kind of……well, it’s mus

Agree!

"I feel bad for Bob. This show ran at a loss for 24/25 and it is losing way more this season - so while Bob is great this feels like a losing effort. Hope it showcases him into other shows.

^ Y’know, you don’t have to type EVERY thought onto a message board and post it. Some opinions should be kept to yourself, especially when they come to an actor’s skin color not being dark enough for you.

Poor Muppets, defunded and bullied by Trump and now reduced to a backup act on Broadway. SAD."

I got to see the re-release Universal put in theaters a few weeks ago to show off the new restoration. The film looks the best it’ll probably ever look. The colors were so vibrant, and the MANY wide shots in the movie looked gorgeous on the big screen, especially the Emerald City sequence. Those COSTUMES.

They are the ones who judge. They judge audience members. It really is just as evil as being hired for any job and refusing to serve people who are black or gay. You might think you are winning your personal hate battle, or even lie to yourself that it's noble,but the world is losing with that standpoint. You really wo

I think I’ve only ever left one show at intermission. AVENUE Q at New World Stages. But it wasn’t because of the show itself. 

I was killing time sitting outside by Blockheads (RIP) when an older gentleman approached me. He said, “Would you like a free ticket to AVENUE Q? I’ve been trying to give it away, but everyone’s treating me like a creep.” That should’ve been my first clue NOT to take the ticket, but I was a broke recent college gra
