Show is currently stopped right before Sam and Oda Mae are entering the office building. Apparently screens got stuck. We have been sitting for about fifteen minutes now. Has this happened before?

It's not "very Spider-Man" until someone breaks something...

Brantley's bound to rip it apart, anyway. well, minus Ms. Randolph. and he'll probably give Levy and Fleeshman better notices this time around.

Is it my imagination, or did Brantley like Pinkham in BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON? Maybe Pinkham will come out unscathed too.

Aww man, I feel for them! How long did it take to recover?

Just ran into a friend who was there - he said they stopped for about 20 minutes.

When I saw the show the scrim was stuck as well. During the scene where Molly and Sam make love, as the scrim was coming down it got caught on one of the sliding panels and Molly and Sam were left making out on the couch longer than expected as the scrim was then brought back up before they moved into the next number in the show ("More").

Was there tonight with one of the critics. I can't say who but he hated the whole damn thing especially the music.

Why can't you say who?

Posted: 4/20/12 at 1:33am

Well, we know it wasn't Matthew Murray. He would have hated the whole thing evenly.

That's really unfortunate. Like the show or not, you have to feel for them after all the hard work and prep that goes into it. I guess critics would not be too forgiving at this point?

Well as much as I love this show, it is their job to only take the material into consideration. Not the effort put into it. No matter what the show is, hard work is involved some how so you can't really praise it.
I personally think this show is gonna receive a luke warm response. Some will hate it, some will love it, but most will be on the fence.
But the basic element is that it connects with the audience. It has done so in London, and when I went Tuesday night, the orchestra was full and the foward-mid mezzanine was populated well enough. The back rows were sparse though. But at the end, people were jumping out of their seats. And as I stated before, the sound of sobbing was echoing through out the entire theater at the end, especially when SPOILER Oda May was switched out with Sam during the dance. Like audible gasps where heard and then the on rush of tears lol.
I think the show will do well. It may not be a HUGE run away hit like WICKED or Lion King. But personally I think it will catch on and have a decent run.

Brantley was at THE LYONS last night... so I suppose he was spared of this mishap. But boy do I feel bad for this technical accident.

Molly, you in danger girl!

so seems that critics are critiquing, even officially, even before the show opens? hmmmmmmmm.

They are critiquing as soon as they see the show, which is always before it opens. It's just not published until opening.

[broadwaydevil]

Yes and it's not uncommon for a critic to make a comment to someone sitting near them or at least visibly express some sort of emotion at a show. Obviously this is not an "official" review but rather it's an off-the-record comment. I'm not sure which critic Golden Boy was referring to and why he/she can't tell us who the critic was.

from Playbill

(after set issue resolved) "When the curtain came back up by 10:30, game actress Caissie Levy, as Molly, continued "Nothing Stops Another Day," apparently where she left off, in mid-song, to cheers and applause. "I'm Outta Here," an animation-spiked production number for actress Da'vine Joy Randolph, who plays vivacious medium Oda Mae Brown, followed.

The rest of the show, directed by Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus, went off seemingly without a hitch, leading to a standing ovation at 10:55 PM."

"The Thursday audience included reviewers from the New York Times, the New York Post, Newsday, New York Daily News and other media outlets. Critics are usually forgiving of technical mishaps; the interruption probably won't impact their assessment of the quality of Ghost"

I heard that Isherwood was in attendance at this performance. I'm sure he hated it anyway, but I'm sure this didn't help.
