I have never heard or seen previous productions before. The leading trio are great. If this year wasn’t so competitive, I would say Burnap had the Tony in the bag.

Surprised about comment on Soo here. I thought she was perfect in Into The Woods and she was even better here .
very good night at the theatre even if it was 3 hours. The theatre was pretty full.

also, most of the show is played center stage"

I agree Burnap was fantastic in this and absolutely deserving of a Tony nomination.  However with the Lead actor in a Musical so competitive this year, I doubt he’ll even get nominated.  Especially after winning a Tony for The Inheritance just 2 years ago.

Can someone please explain why Morgan asked Arthur to write ten numbers on a piece of paper? That bit of business must have taken up five minutes of stage time for no reason that I could discern. Maybe Sorkin could have better used those five minutes to give Jenny and Lance more time to fall in love…which in this production seems to come out of nowhere. 

Thanks, Inception. Seems like a minor point to waste so much time on. I liked the actress playing Morgan, though. Thought she would make a good Mrs. Mullens in Carousel.

The show IS on Broadway... The Vivian Beaumont is a legitimate Broadway house."

Sorry-I meant extending"

I would think it would extend. All of the other major Lincoln Center musical revivals at the Beaumont did. CAMELOT is not as much of a beloved property, though... Sales and time will tell.

Why on earth does that bother you?"

Burnap certainly reads older than Trensch in act 2, who is as much of a petulant brat child as anyone could hope for in a Mordred.

Soo's dresses are beautiful, though. 

I won the lotto for tomorrow night! I'm taking my mom since she grew up with it as a musical her mom loved. I recall not really loving the movie when she showed it to me, buutttt I'm doing it for her, haha.

The elegant minimalism of this production is hard to capture in photos. The show really is beautiful, but the photos don't do it justice.

The picture don’t do the production justice.

I believe you! The photos just don't capture or spark the imagination for that.

I thought this was gorgeous. The singing is sublime and I loved the staging. 
Wasn’t familiar with the show beforehand but thought it was very well done.
