Beaches reviews — Page 5

I’m sure (or at least I hope) they’ll paper the hell out of it but I can’t imagine looking out from the stage and seeing that.

The only thing that causes people to avoid beaches like this is red tide.

This is the type of thingthat casts grumble about when the goin' gets tough. A little thingthat makes a big differenceis making sure the house doesn't look embarassingly empty. It's a morale killer, especially for the final show of opening week.

Even if they triple their sales over the next 40hours, that house will still look empty.

Meanwhile, the scroll of quotes on their website has two from Broadway.com, an outlet that doesn't write reviews and is owned by their own co-producer, John Gore."

they should just tell everyone in the mezz to move down to the orchestra. I can't imagine that they don't announce their closing on Monday.

The Full Monty revival if they get a name?

I just realized that this is the second collaboration between Mike Stoller and Iris Rainer Dart...

...the first was The People in the Picture.

Hmm. This one was pretty big, too. Donna Murphy was Tony nominated (only nomination the show received, though). It only ran from April to June 2011 as a limited engagement and closed on its scheduled date so it ran as intended at Studio 54. As they say in Guatemala: “que paso con BEACHES?”

I thought it was hilarious

I didn't like Beaches. So I've got no skin in the game. But it's theatre. It is literally theatre. The definition of theatre does not change because you don't like a show.

What do you want people to do, roll around on the ground and cry? Every season has its flops, that's the nature of the business. It's the responsibility of producers to ensure that the shows they're bringing to Broadway don't immediately implode and put everyone working on them out of a job.
