Georgeanddot2 said:Having now seen Wicked, everything I said about Chu's inability to compose an image and block and light a scene is unfortunately very true. What did surprise me was how incoherent his storytelling is as well. Weirdly disjointed."I haven't seen Wicked yet but that's exactly how I felt about In the Heights.

Call me crazy but all he did was ensure little people didn't get the jobs.God help with the Disney PR team with Zegler. It's almost as if the girl wants to torpedo her own career."Not a truth at all. Peter Dinklage didn't "get involved." He made a comment on a podcast about how they're "still making that f***ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave." That's literally all h...

I hate 7 o’clock curtains and I hate that they’re taking over. 7 o’clock is dinner time. Why are you starting your show in the middle of dinner time?

I saw it last week and mostly echo the sentiments above. Esparza is giving it his all but the show itself is strangely lacking in energy for a rock musical. I agree about the pope's flip. Their relationship reminded me of that between Becket and Henry II in Becket, but there you absolutely feel the emotion and here there's just nothing. I was pretty engaged throughout the first act but started getting bored and antsy during the second act. Some of the songs are stirring in the moment but I do...

Best show: Fun HomeBest Experience: American Idiot with Billie Joe Armstrong as St. Jimmy

I googled the difference and still don't think there's really a difference. Even the dictionary defines "skit" as "a short theatrical sketch or act."

It was easily the worst thing I have ever seen - although first time seeing that show"Ah, yes, I also saw that at the Pantages and yes, it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

Kimberly Akimbo. It was like watching a bad sitcom with forgettable musical numbers shoehorned in.

Ragtime and Urinetown top my list of shows I want to see but never have. Too bad I probably won't be able to see these.

I did it two weeks ago and the crowds were ridiculous. It seems like they get worse every time I go. It's now impossible to follow actors or get one-on-ones. I've seen it eight times now and I think that's enough. It used to be my favorite thing but I don't find much enjoyment in it anymore, so I probably wouldn't go back even if it wasn't closing. Which is not to say I don't recommend seeing it if you've never gone. I think it's still worth doing at least once.

Broadway Flash said: "I haven’t seen Jessica Lange yet, but I thought Rachel McAdams was pretty wonderful in Mary Jane. I think I appreciate her performance more now thinking back on it than I did in the theatre. Does anybody think she will beat Sarah Paulson?"I don't think she will but I hope she does. I found her performance extremely moving, whereas Paulson's performance was very one-note, I felt.

I sense no self-entitlement from that article, merely someone being honest and vulnerable about her emotions on an Instagram post and Playbill for some reason picking it up as a news story.

thirtythirtyninety said: "Well yes of course. I meant betweenAvenue Q & Wicked"Eh, I still say the best show won (I’m not a fan of Caroline).

ColorTheHours048 said: "Matt Rogers said: "Does anyone dislike this thing or is justtotal love? I recently saw it and my opinion definitely does not match theraves posted here or from the critics."I didn’t like it at the Armory. The two folks I was with also didn’t care for it, so you’re definitely not alone.I haven’t seen it on Broadway, but one of my biggest issues was that it felt swallowed up by the Armory space - which also resulted in some sound issues (in that it mostly sounded like lo...

Matt Rogers said: "Does anyone dislike this thing or is justtotal love? I recently saw it and my opinion definitely does not match theraves posted here or from the critics."I wouldn’t say I disliked it, per se, but I definitely didn’t like it. It felt like a weird pantomimed production of Godspell a lot of the time.

No, of course not, but I think it would do okay.

hearthemsing22 said: "Why can't things just be special Broadway runs?"They can, but they can also be things experienced by people who want to see them but can’t get to New York. And since that way benefits many people and the other way benefits no one, I don’t see a problem with it.
