THE LOST BOYS Reviews

Queen of Versailles was boring and morally bankrupt.

Maybe you should get your ears checked because The Lost Boys score was FANTASTIC and Queen of Versailles was a great show and the hate it got was all because Kristen Chenoweth said something about Charlie Kirk. Kristen Chenoweth has been nothing but loyal to the Broadway Communit


Paranormal Activity Ready to Spook Broadway

Iknow a handful of people who have seen this and they all loved it. Very excited for this news!


The Rocky Horror Show Expectations

When I saw it yesterday they unfrurl a sign at the end of Science Fiction Double Feature that says "Enjoy the show. Don't be an a@@hole." Is that a new addition?


THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Previews

Had the chance to see the matinae yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Luke Evans was the stand out. Audeince participation was limited. Feels like a there were a few places they paused for the bigger, well known shout outs. From my vantage point in the back of the front mezz no one stood up during the Time Warp although the cast seemed to be enocuraging it. 


THE LOST BOYS Previews

Seating question. I'm looking at buying a ticket in the front mezz but they all have limited leg room warnings. Does anyone know how bad it is? I'm 6'2". I think I have sat up there before but it's been a long time. Like Will Rogers Follies.


Why are audiences so poorly behaved these days?

Seb28 said: "I think it is a consequence of civilization rapidly declining. Norms and values ​​are disappearing. Children learn at home that respect for the society in which they are allowed to live no longer matters. Schools do not intervene but instead participate in this. We are creating a world full of entitledmonsters."

"School don't intervene but instead participate in this" is absolute nonsense. Schools intervene all the time. Parents often d

"Arts coverage that doesn't involve Trump has been eliminated". This had nothing to do with being "NY centric".

For what it's worth, this isn't officeial yet. Congress has to approve it.

This is the silliest take from this whole thread.

It’s not silly listen to what Kecia said and you will see all the buzzwords and terminology which originated from CRT- micro aggression and

Sally Durant Plummer said: "Ah yes, she's being held accountable by... a BroadwayWorld thread?

This social media faux "activism" is tiring and went out of vogue in 2020.
"

Apparently this message board has the power to start a race war lol.


LuPone on McDonald

Sally Durant Plummer said: "I can't pick my favorite part of this thread (too many amazing things to choose from), but it's hiliarious that no one gafs about Patti calling Glenn Close a bitch."

Not here but I have seen plenty of people comment about it on other social media. As well as her feud with the long dead Hal Prince.


LuPone on McDonald

binau said: "So this has now descended into almost a race war - and yet race has actually NOTHING to do with any of this. Except that Patti happened to be white and Kecia/Audra happened to be Black. And yet, the toxic US culture can't focus on anything except this fact. Emotionally rallying behind Kecia/Audra as if they are a victims of racism and as if Patti is a white oppressor.

If you're wondering why Donald Trump won, look at this thread. Are there no progressi


Trumpers on Broadway

When we have reached the point where people (including US citizens) are being deported without due process (some to an El Salvadorian concentration camp), court orders are being ignored, and propaganda is being used to target marginalized groups, any form of resistance is valid. 


NYP: Broadway sings New York’s blues as crime, costs slow post-COVID comeback

Complete nonsense and lies. Listen, I wish we had a Democratic nominee that was under 80. But the person who can't string a coherent sentence together is Trump. He is clearly mentally unfit for office.

This is why Trump is already trying to lower expect

First off, this is NOT a Broadway musical. It’s a trashy Vegas comic act masquerading as theater. The show has no coherentscript and no music except for one 11 o’clock number sung by the two leading ladiesthat is so ridiculously over the top that you listen in disbelief

Thanks, I must have been thinking of the original album, which did start during WWI. Still
