I agree with everything Fantod said^

To jayinchelsea, I am not a fan of phantom or les mis. I recently watched Newsies, and found it to be a total bore. I was able to catch Hunchback in La Jolla, and I was deeply moved. It was definitely an experience. I may be in the minority, however, as I didn't find Page's performance as great as everyone has stated. I liked him better as the Green Goblin. His performance in Hunchback was good, but not great IMO. On the other hand,the cast as a whole and the show were stellar. Give the show ...

Concept album is pretty cool, if only the cast sounded half as good.

Wow! So much love for this show. I agree, and I look forward to catching the show on Broadway. A flight from SF is so worth!

I agree with everything Fantod says, I saw this show this past Thursday. I was unimpressed.

I saw the show last week. It was pretty bad. Acting and singing were horrible, but it seems as if that was a directorial choice. The book was weak and the songs were beyond horrible. I really wanted to like it as I love nofx and musical theatre, but this was not good at all.

Here's a new video with the creatives http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ULye1C3Puao

I saw the tour at the Ahmanson in LA and the Orpheum in SF. Both times the 1st act ended with "Bring it on," not "It's All Happening."

I agree with geissap on every word. I too had received many recommendations to visit SNM. I found it completely overrated and overpriced. I do not think the sets were impressive,especially, in comparison to the incredible amount of detail used for events such as Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando/Hollywood. I understand they are not the same, however, a better comparison can be made between SLM and HHN as you walk through various sets and locations versus watching a set of a production on stage.

Didn't care for this show. Front row center, and it was still a snooze fest.

I saw the show tonight. I absolutely loved it! Most of the cast was outstanding, especially Molly Ranson. Anne Tolpegin was on for Margaret White. I was not impressed. I have not seen Marin Mazzie in the role, so I can not make a comparison. Derek Klena as Tommy Ross was bad. His voice was not up to par with the rest of the cast, and his acting choices were mediocre at best. I didn't mind Jeanna De Waal as Chris. I actually liked "The World According to Chris." She played Chris as a mean girl...

Bad is being nice. There used to be a few videos on youtube, but they were plagued with bad comments. If you do a search on these board you can find reviews of arianda on the rent tour. heres one. http://broadwayworld.com/board/readmessage.php?thread=904742#2349176

I am excited about the cast, but....ARIANDA FERNANDEZ????? Really? You'll need some bandages to keep your ears from bleeding.

Since this is an appreciation thread, then I appreciate that Julie Taymor will no longer be director of Spiderman TOTD and that she is taking her incoherent script with her. "So haters of Spiderman beware!!!" Is that a threat? Girl PLEASE!!!!!

San Jose, CA Shrek-Sep 2011 Cats-Dec 2011 WSS-Jan 2012 Beauty and the Beast-Mar 2012 In The Heights-April 2012 Million Dollar Quartet May 2012 Mary Poppins-May 2012 So the In The Heights tour for 2011-2012 is going non-equity? Have any other seasons listed In The Heights for the 11/12?

I went to see next to normal in SF last week. The first couple of rows of the orchestra were empty as much of the house was. First time seeing next to normal and I was extremely excited, I did not enjoy the show. Most of this had to do with Alice Ripley's voice. She can definitely act, but her voice made me cringe. I know she can sound great, but the low tone and screechiness of her voice that night was very distracting to the show. I wish I would have seen it with Pearl Sun. I had taken two ...

I saw the show this past Saturday. I would have bought tickets to the finale, but I travel from California, andI had to work today. It was amazing, the audience was electric. I sat next to people who have seen the show several times. One girl who I was sitting next to, had never seen the show, but she bought the cast album and listened to it continuously. She loved the show. Everyone sitting in the row I was seated at were dancing and really digging the show. It was awesome. This was the nint...

There was a showdown between Spiderman and Arachne's Minions on the Web? Do you mean the Furies? When I had seen the show on Saturday, I did not see this. This hasn't been mentioned on these boards. Can anyone verify this?

I just got back from today's matinee performance. The energy in the theatre was electric. The cast was amazing! I had to hold back my tears a few times. Ive seen the show 9 times, and I live in Los Angeles. There were a lot of in the heights fans where I was sitting. We were all having a good time. Thank you to the In The Heights Cast and crew, and major props to Olga Merediz, Chris Jackson, and Lin Manuel. This is a night I will remember always. So sad to see it end.

According to the article below, it seems only part of the ending was installed this week, the rest of the ending will be installed next week."It won't all be in until next Wednesday, December 23rd." Isn't next Wednesday December 22nd?
