Saw the show with Titus last week - was SENSATIONAL! Raven Symone as Mary Todd would slay

Semi related - their new marketing is a mess. It wasn't at all great before but now, woof. Has a best musical winner with such poignance and sophistication ever been so unaided? The artwork of Claire / Oliver with their backs to the viewer as to not show their race now is...not a subtle choice given the current upheaval.

Interesting on the Helen alternate...Kara Lindsay? Jessica Phillips? Caroline Bowman? This feels like the crop of women who stood by for big roles in the 24/25 season.

Bridges of Madison County for me. Saw it initially and really didnt like it. Ended up seeing it 4 more times including closing night and fell in love. Kelli OHara was astonishingly good. Feel like the show has alot of potential to be impactful in an intimate, in the round setting where the cast surrounds the action REALLY watching it and judging it. Maybe actor musicians too. The show has its fair share of issues but that score!!

Am I the only one that hates the new norm of dubbing cast recording vocals over b-roll video footage? The new Let Me Be Your Star video is clearly the vocal tracks in the promo released a few weeks back. Hate that. Give me the real unfiltered voices

Hi all - Ive been searching around for the FOLLIES national theatre video online - would be glad to purchase it. Anyone have any leads to a link or stream of the full show? Thanks!!

The plot is oddly confusing for how simple it is. Took me a while to gather that they were in a bed and breakfast. I've never seen a show lack so much exposition while also being nothing but exposition. It's also shockingly ableist.That point about the title basically sums up the show. Why is that there? No clue. Why are they singing...

Saw this show last week...add me to the hate camp. What happened? I've never been more perplexed by glowing reviews before in my lifetime. The second act was more engaging than the first, but by that point I had already wished I packed my bags and went home. I don't get the hype (and I LOVE Bob Dylan).

It was very clear when I saw it that this actress was not able to sing the part. I had seen her play Hannigan about ten...

I saw this in London last week - an extreme disappointment. The review roundup on Playbill is spot on. Sophomoric, pompous, and drab. Can't imagine that they bring this to Broadway, especially after their review bloodbath.

I got front row seats, 6 and 8 in the center. There were 20/25ish folks in line when the box office opened at 10.

Hello all - arrived at 7:35am for a one show Tuesday, feb 25. 5th in line.

Ariana DeBose will be Anita

All this talk of recouping on this thread...aside from official press releases, where do you all find this information? More so intrigued by the older shows; west side, follies, etc.

Messaging you now.

Video preview. Has anybody else seen this?? https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/VIDEO-Take-a-Sneak-Peek-at-Ogunquits-Production-of-RAGTIME-20170812

http://www.ogunquitplayhouse.org/ragtime-reviewsI was fortunate enough to see this last weekend and was truly mystified - it was a glorious production top to bottom. The Ogunquit team should be incredibly proud. Has anyone else seen it?

I rushed today, arrived at 8:30am, and was 2nd in line. There were probably 15-20 people by the time the office opened at 10am. My seats were on the extreme sides in row C orchestra. Thats all the info I can help you out with. I thought the show was good. 'Book of Mormon' lite, if you will. The humor is very contemporary and the full house audience ate every joke up. The staging is exceptionally complex, so special kudos to the cast and crew who had to move set pieces on and off three constan...

This is bad bad bad. If you're a theatre goer of meager financial means like I am, save your dough on this one. I almost left at intermission. Blankenbuelers staging and choreography rarely seem integrated into the tissue paper thin storyline. He gives us his best dazzle dazzle dance moves, but there is simply no masking the weak and frankly boring material. I arrived at 8:45 this morning for rush and was the 11th person in line. There were at least 25-30 people by 10am.
