I already bought my tickets.

I honestly had the same thought when I saw it a couple weeks ago. Those mattresses are pretty high of the ground. But I also get nervous when actors dance on chairs and tables.

Cygnet Theater in San Diego did a fantastic production this summer. I live in LA and drove down, but if I lived in San Diego, I would have seen it multiple times. I adore this show.

I just saw this tonight and Katerina is a fantastic Fanny. What a voice. I agree that the Nick was kind of blah. He had a good voice but didn’t stand out.

I saw this at the Old Globe and absolutely loved it. I am so glad it will be at LCT. I hope we get a cast recording.

I am so sad to hear this too. I am an Ahmanson subscriber - but always see the shows at the Taper as well. It is such a great space. Slave Play was well sold and broke box office records - but the rest of the shows this season haven’t been.

I saw it a couple weeks ago and agree completely with the above review. There are some excellent performances and songs - but the book has too many many stories going on. It needs A LOT of editing to make it more focused and cohesive.

I saw it last weekend and agree it is such a joyous show. I still find myself humming the title song and a couple other songs. Shoba is radiant as Simarin and Austin has found the balance between charming, sweet and clueless as rich boy Rog. I loved the choreography and the costumes. The show is really tight. I didn’t notice any spots where it drags. And Jack Sippel as the Porter was so much fun. It is Broadway ready and I hope it heads there and finds an audience.

The Prom tour is listed as an union tour on the Actor’s Equity site. Regardless, I have not heard good things about the tour cast. I saw it on Broadway and loved it. But I think I will skip the tour.

Since we didn’t have a song list on Saturday, I am not completely sure of all the song names. But ai am pretty sure neither Let it Burn or Spinning were in this iteration.

It starts with her sitting on a bench in Los Angeles in 1975 looking back on her life and then it goes to Russia in 1917 - I believe. They don’t show the wedding and I don’t believe that song is still in there. It shows them already married and discussing the revolution.

I saw Lempicka yesterday. I didn’t see it in Williamstown but have heard some snippets and was looking forward to the show based on the creative team and cast. I enjoyed it so much and have been thinking about it since. The longer I have let it sit and thought about it, the more I like it. Those are my favorite type of shows - the ones that continue to make me think. There are definitely some ways in which it could be tightened to make it even more powerful. The second act does lag a bit and ...

Thank you for the report. I can’t wait to see it later this month.

We sat in row G seats 1&3 and thought it was a great view. We really didn’t miss anything important on the catwalk and there was lots of legroom. The usher seating is said they were his favorite seats.

We sat in seats H1 and H3 house left and had a great view. They are right by the walkway to get in, so no one is directly in front of you and there is lots of leg room.

At that price range, Joe’s Pizza near Times Square is great for a slice. I also really like Red Poke.

Were her vocals perfect? No. But they didn’t distract me and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. And I have certainly been distracted by bad vocals at other shows in my life. I heard people talking as we left the theater and comments were positive.
