Noooo.. :(

I still don't understand why they didn't do more stunt casting..

Damn, sales for this weekend are terrible! The matinees are 'all right', but the evenings..  Maybe 15% of the tickets are sold. 

I'm so excited about Jamie, that I don't really care about Joy..

That stagedesign is a choice..

I wouldn't be surprised if they create a small layout based on around 500 seats and budget accordingly. And if things go better, they could open up more rows. But that's not absolutely necessary.

 

I still think it's a missed opportunity that they didn't use season 1 for act 1 and season 2 for act 2. Instead, they used it as a continuous story, with Josh and Melissa suddenly being in the other era after the break, and the characters no longer recognizing them.

Unpopular opinion: the songs in season 2 are better.

It never was a 90 minute show. In Londen it was 2 hours and 10 minutes with a 15 minute interval

From one of London's largest stages to the somewhat narrow Netherlander.. 

I've always been a fan of Jerry Mitchell's work, but after Kinky Boots it's just gone downhill. I did not like this at all!

True. But who knows Eva Noblezada outside the theater world? Or Auliʻi Cravalho outside the families who watch Moana.

Also, in the comments people are writing things like
'Does she have fans'
'Who?'
'Why not do it for the 5 people in the audience'

Typical case of misogyny. While it is doing super well and many fans are attracted to it.

 The casting for the London version was so full of big (American) names. I'm so surprised the casting for Broadway couldn't find more big names. Or ask some of those artists back, even if it was just for 4 weeks...

Aimee Lou Wood, Maude Apatow, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, Cara Delevingne, Jake Shears...

Bad Cinderella had 33 previews and 85 regular performances.. What a coincidence!

They have already recouped and the show is not very expensive to run. So they can keep it up for a while.

I'm more surprised by the numbers of Smashed. Despite the mediocre reviews and everything it still sold okay.

Here in the Netherlands we had 2 versions with only 10 actors. The 5 main guys, the 3 wifes, the music teacher and 1 guy playing the other guys. The last version even cut the kid!

For me this was the highlight of my London trip last week. I cried through half the second act.
But it is very British, too British for American audiences.

For this to work on Broadway they need to move the setting to America. And start off-broadway first.

I always stay at an Hub by Premier Inn

The locations near the theaters are somewhat more expensive than the locations outside the center. But all affordable for the quality you get.

I always eat at Pizza Union, which is located just behind the Shaftesbury theatre. Perfect place to eat alone.

Well.. you need someone who can remove all the kinks before the big names come in ;)

'Sutton is in everything' comments make no sense..

Yes she was in the Music Man last season. 
Before that it was allmost 10 years since she last played on Broadway in Violet (2014)

Not counting off-broadway, Encores, Londen and other places she performed.
