I saw the show last night and all the leads were in. I’ve loved the score since I was a teenager but had never seen the show performed live. Is the story flawed? Yes it always has been but the music is the star anyway. It’s the type of music that punches you in the face even if you are in the back row. I didn’t love the Schtick of the Arbiter. Were some of the zingers funny? Sure but I think it set a different tone of the show being silly which was a take I didn’t love. that being said I real...

Considering addei g this to my spring trip. I have 1 slot left but am not really excited by any new musicals this season other than two strangers. Usually not into comedies but sounds like this is worth it?

It’s fully sold out at $108 on AR. Man the tickets to this show are expensive. Was interested in seeing it but not when the cheapest seats available are $200

I do a solo trip to NY every year. Each year since 2014 I take 5 days and see at least 7 shows. I have no problem going alone mainly cus it means I can see what I want and spend what I want. The fact is that many of my friends don’t want to shell out that much money for live theatre. They all say they want to cons with me but I always tell them be prepared to go to the theatre every night and sometimes twice a day. I realized a long time ago that I can’t but do things because there’s nobody t...

I’m looking forward to this season. It does bug me that we don’t get many equity tours but I’m honestly happy that we aren’t getting cats or wicked again

Vancouver and Edmonton- Beauty and the Beast-& Juliet- The Bodyguard- Mrs Doubtfire- HamiltonCalgary has the same lineup minus The Bodyguard

We have very similar lineups. The thing I’m deciding between is Giant vs Fear of 13

We literally just had a revival of this show 2 seasons ago

What are the chances this could extend?

I see they have announced an extension into May. I’ve tried getting tickets in April but the telecharge website is acting up and doesn’t seem to be working with the new dates yet.

Is this a limited run or are they in a wait and see. I see tickets are only on sale till March. I’d love to see this but won’t be back in the city till April. I know it may be hard to tell right now and things will change once reviews come out.

I saw both this week and if I had to pick one to see it would be Othello. Yes there are issues with it but it’s a better story. GNGL is just a meh story. Both have flaws but I thought other all the acting was better in Othello. JG is a good Iago and I think Denzel give a better performance that George.

So the technical stop lasted about 15 mins and then they started up again. Not sure what the issue was but didn’t notice any other issues for the rest of the show. Overall I that it was good. A talented cast telling a story that is as relevant now as ever. A couple of understudies were on tonight. I agree there are a few songs that don’t advance the story and the role of Henry either needs to be explored further once all together. The ensemble doesn’t have much to do as the main women of the ...

At the show tonight and they’ve stopped it in act 1 for technical difficulties. Gotta love live theatre

I’m seeing this tonight. Curious if Tatianna will be back. Must be tough to be out for a period during previews. Either way I’m looking forward to a totally new work.

so I was there tonight and I echo what a lot of people are saying Nick Jonas sounds too pop for this score. He’s a fine singer and sure he’s talented but I just don’t think he is right for this role. I thought that the chemistry he had with Adrienne Warren wasn’t as bad as everybody thought and to be honest, I kind of liked the interaction between the two characters. I thought it had just the right amount of interaction and at the right moments to help tell the story I think if you saw this w...

Saw this tonight and really enjoyed it. I had read the reviews so knew there were parts that people didn’t enjoy. That said I thought the whole show got better as it went. JG is definitely the strongest part of the show but Denzel is such a legend it was a pleasure to see him on stage. I think he is getting more comfortable in the role based on some of the early reviews I read. Molly Osborne was very good although I had a tough time believing their marriage given their very obvious large age ...

I saw the show last night and really enjoyed it. I think it helps that I grew up in a British household and spent my summers in England so I understand and enjoy British humour. The cast are fantastic and put their all into the show. I think it would be a different show without the original cast. I sat up in the rear mezz in row D and it was a great seat for the price. Didn’t miss anything. Would definitely recommend this show to those who like history, and a good laugh while seeing an origin...

If you have Audience rewards right now they are doing points and $72 for tickets to certain performances. It’s 500 points or 250 if you are VIP

I have to say that this season does not excite me as previously seasons. I’m doing my annual trip next month and it’s the first time in a while that I’m struggling to fill all 7 spots (first world problem I know) which shows I’m excited about. Maybe it’s because I’ve been lucky enough to see a lot of shows over years so I typically see new shows when I go. This year I’m seeing:gypsy, L5Y, Othello, Good Night and Hood Luck, Real Women have Curves, maybe Cabaret and then will decide on the fina...
