Profile for lovett1979

I saw the show a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. I am a total Heated Rivalry Loon and a theatre fanatic (obviously) so it really felt like it was written just for me. "Rose" has one line describing something that was LITERLLY me, and that I could never imagine anyone else having, so I think the writer and I are psychically linked or something, lol. The cast is phenomenal and the writing is really clever, with great music as well (I hope they make a cast album).dramamama611 said: "Quest...

I, too, logged-in after a long time to echo bwaybaby12's post. I saw the production last week and think that their reaction and analysis is spot on. I had never seen a production before, though I've listened to the OCR many times over the year. I didn't always understand the context of most of the songs so it was wonderful to finally understand how the show works.The bare/conceptual set did not bother me at all. In fact, it was quite intriguing to me that Jeremy Jordan had to stay there, on s...

I haven't seen anyone mention this. Is Alexander Gemignani ok? From my vantage, I could see that he fell offstage after performing The Road You Didn't Take. I thought it was a comedy flop like "thank god that's over" or something. But then he didn't come out for the bows at the end. Did anyone else notice that or know anything?

YvanEhtNioj said: You didnt have to explicitly say it, though.Most of the posts here feel like when white people try to shield their families from anything that makes them uncomfortable in regards to race. White people avoid anything that goes against what is typically in media's depiction of blacks OR shows a true black POV that makes them feel uneasy.Yeah, people are entitled to not like a show. However, people WENT IN on this show as if the creative team slept with their husband. As I said...

Did I say that the show shouldn't exist? NoDid I say that they shouldn't say the N-word? NoDid I say that teens shouldn't know or hear about sex or sexuality? NoDid I say that the sex scene was too graphic for a stage show? NoBut what I did say is that this is an ADULT musical and requires a level of life experience and maturity to best experience it. While 25 may be a bit of an exaggeration on my part, thank you to the person who pointed out that that's the age required to rent a car. Ask yo...

This is not a show for high school students. Language is rough (much use of the N-word) and there is a very explicit scene of anal sex. I think it's a fantastic show, but I don't think it's appropriate for anyone under 25. Not because they'll be "offended" or "exposed to adult things" but because they do not have the knowledge and maturity to understand and properly contextualize the show.Come From Away, Dear Evan Hansen, or Hamilton would be much better choices for non-kiddie shows that are ...

I believe Audra was wearing some sort of thong but that’s it, definitely not covering anything else up.Secondly, saying the discussion of AIDS is unnecessary is ridiculous. As you yourself said, it was written and takes place 30 years ago. Why on earth would McNally change that line now? If that’s how people felt about the crisis happening then rewriting that line would be like rewriting history which is what so many people seem t...

I saw this last night and was absolutely blown away. It's a wonderful play, performed by two masterful actors. To answer and comment on some things mentioned in this thread:Regarding nudity - Michael Shannon is definitely naked at the beginning, though the lighting is pretty dark. It's a little funny/uncomfortable seeing his butt, but it does seem natural for the scene. Audra is more covered-up (as befits the character), though "appears" naked as she goes between the bed and the bathroom (whe...
