Oh god forbid people enjoy a musical! Sometimes it feels like these boards are the industry's biggest bullies. Congrats to the SMASH team!

I went back last night and had a blast! They're definitely making changes (and should keep going in the direction theyre moving). Don't overthink it, people! It's a truly fun time at the theatre with some of the best voices singing some of the best songs there are.

Call me crazy, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. The most fun I've had in a theatre in quite some time! I can't help but wonder if all the negative responses are coming from those who aren't able/willing to accept that this is NOT the tv show. I think it works beautifully as a standalone musical comedy and you really can't beat the score. Will definitely be returning after it opens.

Saw this last night and I really enjoyed it. Definitely the kind of play that sticks with you after you leave the theatre and reveals new layers as you think about it more. I found the female leads to be very impressive as well - each actress delivered such layered performances that really made me think about the relationships in my own family and how... complicated they can sometimes be. Laura Donnelly in particular really blew me away…I sat second row mezz and had a great view of the set - ...

hmm

Still no official word on who the next Fiyero is?

I've been lurking on the website for the past couple of days trying to find some good seats, and it seems like a lot of center orchestra seats are released last minute (within 24 hours of the performance)..Does this have something to do with Roundabout allowing subscribers to exchange their tickets?

I would LOVE to see a Gypsy revival starring Idina Menzel

I was in no way saying anything negative about the way in which she stage doored. That is how she handled the stage door on the night I went, so I answered the question with what I observed.yankeefan7 said: ""I went to the show her second night and the answer is...kind of.

I went to the show her second night and the answer is...kind of. She came out and signed for about every fourth person waiting and would try to ignore people asking for pictures, only posing for one if they kept asking (yelling) for one. All in all I would say she was signing for a total of five minutes before leaving.

Saw the show last night and was thoroughly impressed with McPhee. She's not doing anything stellar in terms of acting, but it is definitely good enough. Her voice is perfect for the role and she truly does soar in all of the songs. I was actually shocked at how weak the other two ladies were, especially being that they have both been in the show for a while now.

Saw the production a couple nights ago and absolutely adored it! There are definitely a few moments that need to be ironed out, most notably Billy's death scene. It all seemed to happen so quickly and the moment did not really hit emotionally until about half way through "You'll Never Walk Alone". I found Jessie to be the most forgettable of the leads. She definitely wasn't terrible, but nothing she did really stood out to me. Joshua Henry's performance, while a bit uneven, was overall wonder...

I truly hope this is not true. As a big fan of Grande I will be the first to admit that she is not suited to play Elphaba. Also, Wicked does not need to resort to stunt casting to stay afloat.

The President of the Church of Jesus Christ has recently passed away, and the Russell M. Nelson has been named the new president. Do you think the “Thomas Monson speaks directly to god” line in “I Believe” of the Book of Mormon will be updated?

Just watched an interview that Keala and Hugh did where Keala mentions that Shoshana Bean did the demo for "This is Me"..Boy am I hoping that recording surfaces at some point
