I, personally, know trans and non-binary people that work either at that show or for the HP universe elsewhere. One of them recently said to me: “JK Rowling could not make another penny for the rest of her life and still be filthy rich for the rest of her life. If people want to go see a show or watch a series and support the artists working on it, I kind of understand.”I thought this was an interesting perspective

Not Redwood getting a NYT Critics Pick and The Picture of Dorian Gray not…

Anyone know of codes for Death Becomes Her? All the previous ones expired.also, any for Six lately?

Zegler is a fantastic choice to play Eva Peron. Unfortunately Lloyd will probably have her perform Don’t Cry For Me Argentina while cutting onions, wearing a nude body suit, and standing on a loaf of bread shaped like Argentina

I had the absolute privilege of seeing this production earlier this week. Sarah Snook is a revelation and deserves every award coming her way. The direction and concept of this production won me over within minutes and I found the whole thing riveting from start to finish. This production does everything I wanted Lloyd’s Sunset to do with their Camera concept. Whereas Lloyd’s often felt pretentious and wasn’t servicing the material, Dorian Gray is fully focused on elevating the material and u...

I was quite surprised with how much I liked Boop. I can echo this statement - Jasmine Rogers is an absolute star. She’s sensational in the role. If I were in charge I’d cut even more of the supporting stuff and really focus on her.I felt like Faith Prince and DeRosa’s roles were small enough to be enjoyable but properly supporting. The biggest cuts could come from Hale’s role as the girl that finds Betty Boop in NY. She should really just be used as a plot device to introduce Betty to her lov...

I’m also a big fan of the tv show, but I gotta say that I think making big changes for the stage is smart. I love the tv show, but it was not a success and was critically panned after the first few episodes. Why do the same thing? From what I’ve heard from friends that saw the workshop, this will be extremely different and we’ve just barely been subject to the big changes coming our way. They’re trying to write a new musical that will stand on its own and not just cater to fans of the tv show...

Alright friends, I’m going to need everyone to blow up this board whenever we hear of Standby dates!

I was there tonight and echo much of the same. I think the material holds up but you need a director who understands the humor. This production lacked such a director. Thank goodness for Stephanie. She was a star and truly understood the material and her character.Jordan sounded fantastic but an actor he is not… I really don’t think he understood what makes Urinetown so funny and I was very underwhelmed with how he played the character. Perhaps with a better director he could get there. But h...

I was expecting to not like Nick’s vocals on this. I was not expecting to my reaction to Adrianne. I’ve loved her in everything I’ve seen her in, but there was something off in this clip. Almost like she was told to sing it more stylistically or something. It feels fake. But I trust her as an actress and trust that onstage she’ll come through. Can’t say the same for Nick, but would love to be surprised.

Yall can say I’m lying. Yall can say these people are jealous. Say whatever you want to make yourself feel better. But I’m just passing on what I’ve witnessed. I’ve consistently met people who were very excited about the show and left very disappointed. These have almost always been theatre workers of all kinds and some tourists.Therefore I stand by my statement. Word of mouth has not been great.

This board is fascinating. Everyone is being so mean! We can all love or hate any show we see. I, for one, really disliked and was disappointed in this Gypsy. But it’s fascinating to see that Word of Mouth and Critics are so different here! I was expecting mixed/leaning positive reviews. Do I want the show to fail? No! I’m happy for them and am open to seeing it again because I saw a very early preview.But this is so interesting that it’s raves when in-person I hear mostly negative things. Wi...

“This. This. This. Audra's vocals in this, precisely like 110 in the shade especially her song Old Maid. I think this Gypsy is nothing like youhave seen, yet alone heard before and it works so much. Honestly the only negative response has only been on these boards. Other friends have gone and have raved, as do I. This is a production not to miss. Audra is giving us a master class acting and singing. And if you don't get it, that is truly OK. Art is subjective. If you do get it, then yes you d...

Just passing opinions on - my friend saw it last night and had all the same complaints that I, and many others here, have had. Cheap/sloppy design, Audra is miscast, choreography is bad, loved the Gimmick Girls, etc. Our biggest difference is that I thought Joy was fine and she just lacked chemistry with the cast. They HATED Joy and thought she was a terribly weak performance. Though I’m happy to report that some other friends of mine did love the show all around. Seems this will just be a re...

They are thoughtful, carefully considered, and in every way analytical. I don't find any disrespectful of the artists orartistry. A great theatrical treasure McDonald certainly is; but this is a public forum- and I've been here two decades - that welcomes discussion of dissenting takes. It's always been a reliable place to get early responses to n...

Everyone here is reading like the NYT with the finality of their thoughts. It’s first preview…"We are simply responding to what we saw.

I’m glad you enjoyed her performance and you bring up a lot of interesting critiques and points. I, however, don’t agree that all voice types are fit for all scores. Just like all instruments aren’t fit for all songs. Imagine if Gypsy’s score was played on only cowbells and clarinets. Or Rent was played without a single electric guitar or drum set. Audra is obviously an incredible vocalist, this is not a discredit to her talent. But a lot of people are going to find her voice to be very awkwa...

I agree that this is similar to Lenk, though I thought Lenk acted Company much better than Audra acted Gypsy. And I saw Lenk’s first preview as well as much later in her run. Lenk never really clicked with the vocals and I don’t think Audra will here either.
