Cats: The Jellicle Ball to Broadway — Page 6

Pose cribs a great deal from Paris is Burning- I'd personally skip it and just go to the source without the Ryan Murphy nonsense. 

Legendary is really great if one can find it and definitely reflective of this production.

I tried to hedge my bets and got the two tickets on stools alongside the runway. Figured that way you'd feel immersed like on stage but probably have a better view than those seats facing out. We'll see I guess

Cribs?  A word you just learned recently from Wordle?

It was also just on connections the other day, not Wordle.  And suddenly there it is being used

Leiomy as Macavity is super exciting - obviously going to be a completely different take than Rodrick Covington. 

Just bought front row Mezz tickets for April. I'm slightly worried about being able to see the end of the runway from up there, but I was more concerned about heads in the way sitting in the mid-orchestra. We shall see...

Pose cribs from Paris Is Burning and makes some ummm…choices in how it chooses to distribute what it cribs but I think it’s worth a watch of at least the first season. Even though that has the Evan Peters-Kate Mara “hopefully now normal people will also watch this” storyline that fell flat. 

I will admit however I never watched a single episode after a certain character departed in S2. So I never saw how bad it really got.

Well that changes everything.

More of that “in name only” BS.

They aren't putting in money.

If they're forking over $$$ isn't that the job of a producer...?"

Not always. A Strange Loop had like a million celebrity producers and it still closed at a loss. They don't make a difference in the success of a show, it's got to stand on its own. I loved A Strange Loop but recognized that it's not for everybody and won't be universally loved. I think this show is similar.
