I saw this tonight ( Tuesday) which also seemed to be their official opening night?

 

I'm honestly speechless. Do not miss it. Billie Piper gives the best performance I've ever seen in NYC. Epic theatre. 

I strongly recommend My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center. The Vivian Beaumont is the most unique venue on Broadway and in my view the best the city has to offer. The show is spectacular and lush. 

Tonight (Friday, March 10) featured "The Highest Judge of All" which was cut out of town during the original Broadway production. Very strange choice to put it back. 

I cannot believe people like this play so much. I have always found it vapid, overly long, occasionally slanderous and downright mean spirited. It's shameful the way Kushner wrote the Roy Cohn character. 

Cohn passionately believed in his politics as passionately as Kushner believes in his. Kushner makes no attempt to write Roy as anything other than a cartoon villain who's actively trying to ruin the world. 

I will be skipping this. 

I've got a future one: Ben Platt. 

It will all be downhill for Platt after DEH. Especially since he wants to transition to a recording artist. HA! Producers have already done his Pops a solid, I doubt they'll need to keep casting Ben to curry favor and get help with future productions. 

The real answer: Marc Platt insisted on getting his son a Tony Award for his birthday.

Oy

I can't imagine what it must be like to be you and Smidge and be so triggered by reading opinions that differ from your own. That must be tough...and boring. 

Wishing everyone who attends good luck and safety. Steven "Pee Pee Tapes" Pasquale is quite unpredictable and unhinged. I certainly wouldn't wanna be in the same room as him. 

Rent at the Nederlander comes to mind. 

Obviously that was on a much smaller scale that Great Comet's renovations, but I recall seeing Rent around the time it closed and wondering how another show would ever play that theatre. The outside was covered with graffiti and the balcony was lined with a dirty metal bar. Obviously they did a major renovation before the next tenet opened. 

Why not Platt Billy?

Is Marc Platt producing? 

Hercules: Ben Platt

I was planning on seeing this one. Very excited about it indeed.

 

but then they announced the deranged Steven Pasquale was starring in it and I will have to pass. The man is so unhinged and crazy on twitter that I seriously worry about the safety of anyone alone in a room with him. And he's playing Booth? I hope the secret service have their eyes on him. 

Panda Express is irrelevant and unrelated to the story. Follow the money!!

It's clear that Marc Platt helped them fast track this mediocre musical to Broadway and then ran an a bullying PR campaign to instill in everyone's mind that Ben was giving the best performance ever. He then engineered Jake G and Jon Jon B to be taken out of consideration clearing the way for a bought Tony.
