Timon3 said: "It is very similar to Chess where the book is trash, but the score is sensational. Don’t think Disney have revived a musical."This is coming from a 4 decade Chess fanatic: Aida's book was much better. Much. I love Chess and am paying an insane price to see it again, but the story is now a comedy and is ridic.

mods, delete plz.

The cast sounds fab!!!!

This is long overdue, and I am looking very forward to it (should it actually occur).

goldenboy said: "It's a musical that just didn't work. Stop beating up our wonderful creatives."The wonderful creatives failed miserably with QOV. Not beating anyone up, just speaking the obvious truth. This show was a horrible mess, and the subject matter was extremely tone deaf. The "wonderful creatives" failed miserably by not listening to any feedback from the out of town tryout--

Soaring29 said: "What exactly does she need to apologize for? As awful as Kirk was, him being assassinated was a terrible moment. Chenoweth grew up in a divided political household in the Bible Belt so her reacting how she did is not a surprise to me particularly as she herself was a swing voter until right after Obama was elected. All of this is in her book."Kirk seemed to be okay with the concept of gun deaths:“It’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun dea...

FolliesCabaret said: "I actually didn't hate the show, saw it with both KC and SRS, and I also don't think Kristin said anything "wrong." But similar to the show itself, if people are mass-misinterpreting something, it's best to get ahead of it and make your stance painfully, obviously clear. She didn't do that. Which is certainly her prerogative. I know she's not MAGA, but because she hasn't done any work to really make that clear to people, others won't. C'est la vie.The bottom line is that...

Sutton Ross said: "Usually when a show announces a closing, the grosses go up, which was clearly not the casewithQoV. The show couldn't close fast enough. Wow."IKR? And the average ticket price to achieve what attendance they did have: YIKES. But yeah, lets blame it on the fans.

I loved this little film, and I am a KOTSW purist. I think the two male leads were excellent, the cinematography was lush, and felt J-lo was decent enough. I hate that know one knew this film even existed.

schubox said: "Thought this was a bit of a mess for me. Some things I loved, some I very much did not like,but One Night in Bangkok and the Act 1 closer from Nicholas Christopher was worth the price of admission for me."Nick is definitely the highlight voice in the show. IMO. I can't wait to see him again, am curious now about understudies.

Yay!Okay, will wait to see Chess again until March and then fly up to catch both. I can't wait!

Is there a way to gauge how well Masquerade is doing? It seems like they are wanting to stick around a while, and people seem to like it, but I wonder how the financials are. Is there that much profit to be made off Broadway for that sort of show?

I think he needs to leave it alone. The second film paled in comparison to the first. IMO.

Precisely.
