The lies, the misinformation, the twisting of the truth, the FALSE claims of "genocide", "open air prison", "apartheid"...all LIES by the way, have led to a massive surge of worldwide violence against Jews.These lies been funded by Russia and Iran and others and have taken over social media... and people on the left belive it blindly and think they are freedom...

Jordan Catalano said: "I loved this show - truly. One of my favorite things I saw all year and have been talking about it non stop.THAT SAID. Forthis to be posted today, the first night of Hanukkah, mocking a massacre of Jews that included A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR - as a Jew, my blood is boiling even more than it has been all day. I’m sure they’ll come out and issue some sort of an apology but I don’t think there’s an apology heartfelt enough to make me give a **** about anything else they ever h...

bwayobsessed said: "I saw it Sunday. It wasn’t for me. It was quite sharply written but it just wasn’t that interesting IMO. My friend and I were both a bit confused by what the ending wanted us to take away from it."I just saw it yesterday and I agree - it was well written and well acted, but I still found it a little slow at times. I also admit I went in thinking i was going to be more of a comedy than it was. Funny at times, but far more dark and serious than I expected (which may have bee...

Bwaygurl2 said: "MasterThespian 2 said: "Jarethan said: "I went with three other people to see this. Two left at intermission and two loved it. I was one of the two who left at intermission. I guess that I just don't get British humor, although I did enjoy The 39 Steps a few years ago, and it was silly.I thought the cast was very good, although I hated the character who came up with the concept. Hewas portrayed as a socially inept goon, and I just didn't enjoy the humor.What I saw of Jak Malo...

BWAY Baby2 said: "Let's face it- Patti Lupone is a wonderful performer- but is an a-hole nevertheless. She should keep her mouth shut with all of her disrespecting and insulting comments about her peers- but she cannot help herself because this is who she is. An ASS."I agree with this 100%. She’s never had a filter and she can’t help herself. That’s not an excuse at all, just a fact.BUT…whether it was racist or not, the bottom line is that if someone feels as though it is, then we all should ...

BalconyClub said: "I support all theatre, but will buy tickets that are to the left of the aisle instead of the right."First, thank you. This got a true LOL. Second, and to the point of this post - while I think it is tempting to want to out people and urge for some kind of boycott, I think that is more a knee jerk reaction more than anything, and ultimately incredibly harmful. We don’t have to go too far back in our country’s history to see examples of what happens when people are accused of...

Miss10036 said: "This was in some ways a pleasant surprise, but in other ways it wasn't clicking, and those issuesare pretty structural... I've got a lot of thoughts and recognize that there aren't many reports online about this one yet, so figured I'd throw a long-winded post on here. Sorry this is incrediblylong.The premise is essentially that through a series of plot contrivances, a professional dancer (Tam Mutu) who'd been teaching ballroom on the UES ends up teaching dance class in a sou...

IronMan said: "pippy1 said: "Is the last number part of the original show or new? It had the audience clapping for an extending amount of time."The finale's music is fromHMS Pinafore("He Is An Englishman") but the lyrics were newly written for this production. I also saw it yesterday, and had a wonderful time. Kudos to David Hyde Pierce for soldiering on at the top of Act II when (apparently) the use of stage fogtriggered an alarm and the house lights came on, then an alarm could be heard for...

Bette's Turban said: "I thought it was all delightful. When those this officially open?"I saw this yesterday and really liked it - so much fun! DHP is fabulous and made for this role. He had the audience in stitches and played to that wonderfully, I thought Ramin and Nicholas were excellent as well. I liked Samantha - she's a great actress with a great voice, but for some reason she didn't resonate as much - but still so good. Jinx was also hysterical. I am not sure if I have ever seen anothe...

Ensemble1698878795 said: "Just saw this. The worst part of this show is White’s direction, an overall mess. Adrienne Warren will be nominated for this. She’s spectacular."Saw this last night. Agee the direction was not great. To be honest (we got tickets because my daughter loves this show, but my husband and I knew nothing about the premise of the show going in) we were slightly confused. We found it meandering and disjointed. I wanted to like the actors, but even struggled with that. I thou...

DanS3 said: "I saw this Tuesday night and loved every minute. It was sweet, funny, and endearing. The set is incredible and the fireflies scene is simply beautiful. I don’t think Darren is getting enough credit for his performance. He’s not a powerhouse singer, but this role doesn’t call for that. He plays this perfectly, exactly as you’d expect a robot to walk, move, and talk. All with so much heart. We saw 5 shows and this was my favorite."It’s interesting, I know the role doesn’t call for ...

MemorableUserName said: "But again, that has nothing to do with how this was handled. But let's look at the bigger issue that goes beyond this scuffle. We can only learn and grow if we actually talk to each other directly. ...which is exactly what Kecia Lewis declined to do when she decided to take this public. So who's not listening to whom?It has everything to do with how it was handled. This thread is full of people bending over backward to say Lewis was right and Lupone saying the show is...

I think this is the truth, at the core, and is an issue throughout society right now. This has nothing to do about how the situation was handled (which I personally - someone who believes direct face to fact conversation will always be better than either public statements or even off-handed remarks to another person, not involved) but has to do with anyone telling another person how they should feel. This is continually done - how a black person ought to feel, how a Jewish person out to feel,...

I went last night, and I also want to say that this was one of the best behaved audiences I have seen in a long while. There were several larger school groups, and it was refreshing to see them dressed nicely and knowing how to act at a show. I was with four others, including two college kids who were apprehensive about seeing the show because they loved the book so much. Consensus post show was that it was enjoyable but nothing special and the four out of five who read thee book were a bit d...

getatme said: "Lindsay's absences are not related to American Sports Story. They go back into production in January, but she has been sick and recovering. She is back but will likely not be doing matinees on two-show-days for a little bit."Saw the show today. Lindsay was out. I was disappointed, but will always give any understudy or swing as much appreciation as the star. Not an easy job to fill the shoes of someone else. She did a a good job and the show itself was great. Truly enjoyable. I...

I’ll see your Twizzlers and M&Ms and raise you…..yesterday at Sweeney Todd, we had a couple in front of us who kissed every five seconds and another person who was eating some sort of candy, and thus rustling the package continuously. Finally at intermission, we said to the couple, Glad you are so in love, but you realize every time you kiss, you block our view. As my daughter said, who knew Sweeney Todd was such a turn on.

Lumiere2 said: "I've never done it on Broadway, but the closest I've come was 2017's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, still by far the worst production I've ever seen. The songs were awful, the supporting was awful, and the fact they changed the story so most of the children were killed on stage (including watching a young character get dismembered limb from limb by giant dancing squirrels?!) was appalling. At the end I wish I'd left earlier.On another note, I've left halfway through region...

jkcohen626 said: "I really don't know the intricacies of this, so please please please correct me if there's anything I say here that's egregiously wrong, but I have a hard time seeing this get in their way. I think they go full steam ahead and just steamroll over or work around the limitations.I can't remember the specific bits she did, but Ariana's opener was not specific to the nominated shows at all. I think if they have any brains, they already have it and some generic bits for her writt...

Ensemble1682852684 said: "I saw SLEEP NO MORE and DOLL’S HOUSE this weekend. I am seeing FAT HAM and GREY HOUSE this week. I have time for two more shows on this trip before I leave on Saturday 5/6.Recommendations?"Just saw Life of Pi yesterday. For staging and acting alone, go see it. The lead is phenomenal - as was the entire cast and, especially, the puppeteers. There were a few moments where I thought the show dragged (but no one else in my party thought so) but I am so glad I saw it. Oth...
