One of the biggest problems with modern pop musicals is that the pop music is quickly outdated. 2021 pop is very disco. In the current music market, I just don't know if Evan Hansen stands out enough to get radio play.Maybe Due Lipa's cover of Requiem will prove me wrong, though...
JBroadway said: "AntV said: "How much nudity is in this?"A man is naked for a large portion of a scene, but he covers the important bits the whole time."Incorrect. I was far house left and definitely got at least 30 seconds of full frontal.
Hamlet is 4,030 lines long. A production with no intermissions and performed on a blank set would run just over four hours. A full production would probably run about five.
I'm surprised that there's not much discussion of this play yet. I found it to be quite moving and very powerful indeed. The kind of muscular, likable drama that can easily be recommended to anybody.

Spongebob didn't sell very well out of town. A limited run makes sense if they want to take the original Newsies route and just go to Broadway for licensing reasons. It's definitely going to be popular for community theatres and high schools, and if a commercial run isn't liable.... ya never know.
Something about those twenty foot walls just really got to me. Anyways, this seems to be the one play this season that everyone seems to love, and I'm glad for it, too.
Hnath goes conventional here, and while I like his artsier stuff more, he sticks the landing on Broadway. A great play in a great production. I'd love to see this in a smaller theatre, but the enormity of the physical production (those projections!) made it feel right at home in the Golden.Chris Cooper was all wrong for the role. His performance isn't bad, but his voice and RBF make it difficult to believe that he could have believably been Ibsen's Torvald 15 years ago. I actually think Mark ...
Saw it today. Bourgeois claptrap with about as much subtlety as being hit in the head with a brick, but you can't deny that that staging is phenomenal.
