A STRANGE LOOP On Broadway - Reviews & News Thread — Page 5

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Yup, but the difference here when comparing to the above is that SIX is –– arguably –– more artful and has more financial potential (because of its small size), AND A Strange Loop is more niche than any of the titles above. This is not a typical year when comparing to the past. Producers still make up more than 40% of the total voters, which is a largely white and male group of people."

Was just wondering what aspects of SIX you deem “more artful” than ASL?

I do think it's a bit silly that she'd be winning basically just for sticking her name on the show, rather than winning for something that she actually put her own creative talents into. But an EGOT is an EGOT!"

I believe that’s how John Lennon has a Tony, via producing."

You mean John Legend? Then yes, he got the T in his EGOT by winning a Tony as a co-producer on the 2017 Broadway production of Jitney.

Was anyone at this last night? If so, curious to see what people thought!

Previews begin Thurs, April 14, because of COVID cases.

Also because of that, I doubt they'll do an invited dress tonight?

hopefully this gets off the ground tomorrow, clock is ticking to qualify for the TONYS

If this was a world premiere like Flying Over Sunset then I understand the need for a 4 week preview period.
However A Strange Loop won the Pulitzer from its 2019 off-Bway run so I’d presume this preview period is mainly for tech and the actors to get used to the Lyceum theater and get their bearings.

** Also this musical is one of only TEN to win the Pulitzer Prize since 1932. The fact that most of you on this thread are dismissive of the power this musical will have is INSANE **"

Approximately 100 minutes. No intermission.

I’m here! I’m here! Free goodie bag. They opened early due to the rain and wind. I’m in the orchestra Row D seat 2-wave or say hello! I’m alone. Will also be here Saturday matinee.

Jon-Michael Reese is on for Thought 4 tonight.

If anyone is willing to ship me a bag (I’m happy to pay for shipping) please let me know



saw this show Off-Broadway and trying to figure out if I can come to NYC to see the new cast

I saw this at Playwrights and loooooooooved it. If you could wear out a cast album by streaming it on Spotify, I did just that.

BUT, is it worth seeing again on Broadway? Is Jaquel giving an absolutely must see, can’t miss performance? I don’t believe there were any drastic changes from Playwrights to now, but I could be wrong?

Also were they selling window cards?
