Flying Over Sunset - Previews Thread — Page 25

Was really hoping to see this and Caroline, but can't justify the hotel and flight prices.

They’ll get paid only when the show is running. I’m gonna see it again this weekend. Happy New Year btw.

I attended the final performance this afternoon. Sold out house. Appreciative audience. A few embellishments to the dialogue that weren’t there last week, but not, as I’d hoped, a second act reprise of the title song that was in the early previews.

I saw this piece numerous times and my appreciation deepened each time. This show gobsmacked me. Not because of my experience with hallucinogens, but rather my experience of loss and my wistful recollections of the past..

Lo and behold I had the chance before the show to tell Mr. Lapine how I’ve been affected by the piece. The only other show I’ve seen this many times was Sweeney Todd in ‘79 when I also attended the closing performance. We fist bumped and that was that.

Cast recording on pre-order.

Those of us who've seen the show know the recording is likely to find new admirers. I hope it still drops the third week of January.

I finally saw it.

Not sure what to think. The lens on hallucinogens was reductive and everyone’s traumas were rather ham fisted in exploration.

It wasn’t god awful. I just didn’t think it was very good.
i applaud it for being something so different from the run of the mill broadway. I want more chances to be taken like this for sure

HHP’s Instagram post which LCT reshared claims that “we’ll be back.” Which is vague, but perhaps there is hope for another life in the future? I just don’t think there’s ever going to be a sustainable audience for this thing, even after the album comes out. It has one great song (the title number) and a lot of filler.

The flashes were annoying and disrespectful. I’m surprised no one stopped them after the first instance. Why people even take pictures with the flash on is baffling.
