Meet Me in St. Louis

I'm not entirely sure about the hours, but I do know that the shop is currently located at the lobby level of the Crowne Plaza, which has an entrance on 48th very close to the theater. Hope that helps!

Song reprises(usually the opening number)as scene transitions. It's so so lazy  

This recording really is so, so gorgeous. That orchestra alone is so enveloping, immersive, expansive. The wait was absolutely worth it for this one.

Such a sad, sudden loss. For some reason all I can listen to is The Tuba Song from his Love's Labor's Lost. All the great work he left behind will be treasured for years to come.

You're not missing much by skipping it, imo, unless you love Carole King. It's very much like sitting through a review of her songs(here's this song! Now this one, you know this one!). If you want to see it, by all means have a great time, but if you only have so much time in the city and could take it or leave it, I'd leave it.

I love Edna Turnblad so much. Her arc is so lovely and empowering. Plus her songs are all so fun to listen to.

I LOATHE Marius. He is so whiny and manipulative to me. Can't stand him.

When I was 15 I had a tree fall on me and was referred to as "that tree girl" for the rest of high school. I just kinda stuck with it

I actually agree with a lot of Mr. Green's assessment of this production(and play, honestly). I did however, disagree with his final statement about the wound having healed. Scott was a fairly close family friend, and watching his work on Broadway all these years later, I was struck by how fresh that wound felt to me.

Granted, that is a personal anecdote that is hard to remove myself from, so perhaps take it with a grain of salt :) 

I really do love Dolly and Falsettos for revivals. New musicals, I think my favorites are Comet and DEH.

At the closing performance of SITPWG, seeing Stephen Sondheim in the flesh. It left me literally speechless. 

I still to this day do not understand the love that Rent gets. Every time I saw it, it got more unbearable, preachy and, frankly, offensive in some respects. 

My aunt was really close with Scott McPherson, since they grew up in the same area and went to the same university, so I'm so thrilled to see Marvin's Room coming this season!

Andrew Rannells said in the awards chatter podcast last week that Falsettos is performing on the broadcast.

I have to say I'm a little baffled at some that are saying Lucas is phoning it in.

There are many things one could say about that performance, and that is not one that jumps to my mind.

Oof, such a bad choice for GHD. And it's a shame too, cause the show(and that number)are fantastic on stage.

I'm honestly a little shocked by some of these reviews. I found this show to be so incredibly middle of the road and bland. But I guess it really is speaking to some!
