A STRANGE LOOP On Broadway - Reviews & News Thread — Page 6

We’re there any absences tonight or was the full cast there?

I can’t quite put into words how absolutely horrible I thought this show was…I’m baffled by what I saw on stage. I had high hopes for this as I really liked the premise of the show but I hated everything about it

This seems v extra tbh, but go off."

They stated their opinion... I don't get how that's "extra". You may not agree with it personally, but I would hardly call it "extra".

I was there last night and it was so much fun! The energy from everyone in the show is fantastic. The music is amazing, the performances are life-changing, this is an important show. Not to mention h i l a r i o u s.

I befriended the person next to me and they were in tears by the end. I would recommend seeing this orchestra instead of mezz if possible!

I was there last night and had a terrific time. The show was hilarious and the performances were outstanding. Special shout-out to Jaquel Spivey. He was in tears by the end and it was truly special to see his reaction to making his broadway debut.

LMM was sitting right in front of me and he was having a great time as well and got a kick out of the Hamilton joke in the show. The one criticism I would have is there were some mixing issues and there were parts of the show where I couldn’t hear the cast over the orchestra, but those will be fixed as previews continue. This was my first first preview and I’m glad it was this show. I definitely would like to return once everyone settles in and the mixing issues are resolved. I second the orchestra, I was in row H and the view was perfect. Run to see this.

That’s exactly it. Just my opinion, the only thing extra is writing not one, but two comments about what I said.

OMG - I literally just booked Orch seat D2 for a Saturday night performance in June before I read this and also will be alone... are you my doppelganger???

So looking forward to this - a buddie in my SF gym has been listening to the music and says it is so much fun (he hasn't seen it - yet).

I just love that despite some (e.g. Mamet) complaining that Broadway is too commercial/touristy we continue to get shows like this. I hope the show can find an audience or at least hold on and win the Tony for Best Musical to then find an audience.

You are so right--only people who identify with the material, non New Yorkers and subscribers to a limited number of companies can recognize good work. Oh well, guess I'll go see Wicked or The Music Man since I'm wicken who is allergic to water from Iowa.

Has anybody sat in the balcony for this? I vowed I'd never sit up there again after hearing rather than seeing most of Dana H, but maybe that was just the nature of that production.

Judging by how the set appears to be framed from what I’ve seen on IG, I’d say sitting in the balcony for this is probably not the way to go unless it’s your only option. I think you’ll run into a similar issue that you did for Dana H.

Also how is the lead actor vocally compared to the original?
