I agree entirely. I was at the first preview and found this production to be a mess. Uninspired and uninteresting...weak performances...there was no direction or vision. However, I adored Mamie Parris.

LOVE this idea. Very exciting team. Looking forward to it!

Was at last night’s performance and found this production astounding and a gorgeous reinvention of WSS. Definitely a polarizing revival but I loved it and am still thinking about it. I hope to be back soon and can’t wait to read reviews.

Triple post.

Double post.

Friends of mine saw it the other night and loved it, but I’m curious for more detailed reports. I won’t be seeing it for another couple of weeks.

Still confused about that one (it made me think of the song "Big Blue World" and I got sort of excited thinking that Disney was expanding the Anderson-Lopez's Finding Nemo Musical from Animal Kingdom into a full show haha)."The clue you're referring to was for My Very Own British Invasion and not ...

Caught tonight’s performance and unfortunately, the show is a mess. The cast delivers admirable performances and the physical production itself is handsome, but the book is beyond problematic. I don’t see how it could have any commercial potential.

I believe Paper Mill is receiving enhancement money for this particular production (it is produced by Hal Luftig and Craig Haffner)...though I have no clue what the “average” budget may be.

I’ll be there on closing night, but I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts. I’d heard the goal is Broadway.

As mentioned above, I'm guessing Don't Stop is the pre-Broadway engagement that the Colonial was teasing earlier today. Perhaps the announcement will also include Broadway dates? I just hope they work on their artwork...it looks very cheap and sloppily put together.

VERY excited for this, but I wonder where Moulin Rouge will go...

WHATTTT?!?!?!

It seems Bombshell isn't dead after all (despite the upcoming Some Like It Hot, which many seemed to think was a compromise). Craig Zadan just teased on Twitter...https://twitter.com/craigzadan/status/1017144997043290113
