Ramin is perfection but the other star (so far) is Jane Lynch. Dear God, she’s brilliant."

I’m waiting outside the August Wilson right now (I just saw SIX)and dying for more reports! I would love to meet you in person if possible too after the show … I’m wearing a winter coat and a YES hat. Keep your eye out if you can!"

I’m also waiting by the theatre right now (I just saw the matinee of Phantom). I’m wearing pants and a NO bag. Cash me outside!

Sorry… I left a while ago to catch a ride home.

Jesus, it's a person who wants to make a human connection about something they are excited about. Why be so mean?

Those of you who are there tonight, would love to hear some advice on where you think the best seats are for this production based on the sets/blocking. Do you think I’d miss too much from one of the “partial view” seats in the front row? Sat there for Mean Girls and thought the view was actually amazing (the show not so much..) However, MG was a pretty simplistic staging (LED screen notwithstanding) and most of the action took place center stage, so idk.

Great to see these first reports!

How many pieces in the orchestra? And how were the musical arrangements?

Hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but Beanie’s singing totally flat all night, and couldn’t reach any of the high notes. It was a mess.

Did you two meet?

“Years from now, when you speak of this, and you will, be kind.”

So happy to hear the (mostly) glowing reports!


Did not even think of this until now, is there no lottery/rush being offered? Or SRO? (Apologies, can’t seem to remember if all shows have cut that offering due to the Covid policies in place or not.)

Thanks for sharing. Are you going to include this information in your next excruciatingly boring library talk

Do you, though?"

Yeah I do, and I’m a well versed NYC performer. You guys are probably living in your parents basements. A bunch of losers. That sit on this message board all day."

I think K-MO hit the nail right on the head. You definitely seem like someone who takes great enjoyment in bubble-bursting.

Anyway.

Looking forward to hearing more reviews and how the show develops in previews.

Was hoping this was a thread about the show and reviews from people who have seen it instead of posters arguing about what a scrim is etc etc. Can people just post their thoughts and reviews of the show???? Thats why we come here

Everything looks like a mess. Anyone want my ticket for Tuesday ? I paid $50
