But aren't you glad to know every show he ever thought about seeing?

"But aren't you glad to know every show he ever thought about seeing?"

It reminds me of a prescription drug ad, so I just skip past it, assuming it just lists out all of the side effects of whatever he just posted.

I think it will work perfectly there on the thrust stage. It's also in a small house which is a good 400 less seats than the Booth. I think they're being really smart about opening at the cutoff.

Fingers crossed and I cannot wait!

I, for one, might of been.

Perfectly timed to haul in Tony nominations....... and awards. They sure know how to calculate with precision, these arty types.

Of course one could have seen this happening a mile away. Indeed, wasn't it announced months ago that it would be coming to Broadway this season? (Actually, a Broadway transfer was a foregone conclusion the very first moment that child started whining that ghastly song. And to think that the astute minds on this board declaimed loudly that that could never happen! Unfortunately, I knew otherwise.) Yet, in spite of all that, one could have wishfully--and wistfully--- hoped that somehow, magically, it would just disappear.

No such luck.

Reminds me of those fairy tales in which the wicked presence makes a vow to come back in 10 years or so to enact its dirty work, and then is forgotten. Until 10 years fly by and then there it is, to everyone's horror.

Well, here it is.

Who's the "everyone" that After Eight is always speaking for?

After Eight, it's perfectly fine with me if you skip the Broadway production of Fun Home. Thank you.

Yeah - don't we know that kids shouldn't be singing about their inner feelings and doubts of sexuality - they should be singing about jam and bread!

Great news. This opening of this show will set a precedent for how people predict shows will succeed in future IMO, it's doing everything 'right' - a very high quality show, tiny theatre, opening right before the Tonys with not too much competition. If this show can't succeed it really does reflect the state of Broadway theatre right now!

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

SDP,

Apparently -- and unfortunately --- too many of you don't know that.

AKarp,

Not really. In a sane and a pure world, everyone would know that. And even in this insane and impure one, everyone should know it.

After Eight, what didn't you like about it? The story? The score? The set?

Don't bring around After Eight to rain on MY PARADE!!!!

I wish YOU would disappear. Why can't you STAY OFF THIS THREAD?! You had to ruin this for people like me who love that show and for whom it resonates. I get it-the WORLD gets it-YOU HATE THE SHOW! WELL STAY AWAY FROM IT!

Have you actually seen the show, After Eight?

If so, however did that happen? Surely you could have known beforehand, or at least have an inkling, that this wasn't for you.

SDP,

The set didn't bother me. Everything else was too appalling for words. But no need to rehash that all over again, or worse, for me to relive that horrific experience.

He saw the show. He goes to all the first previews and expresses his thoughts. He and Wizzer are the first to report back.

After Eight must be the most-blocked person on BWW. I just did! I don't know what took me so long.

I am becoming an After Eight fan. I don't support his opinions or anything like that, I just find his comments and the conversations he creates to be hilarious.

I don't know if it is just me, but I always get this feeling of glee and a big dopey smile whenever After Eight just rips a show to pieces. I know that it's going to happen, and when it finally does, I just get so happy for some reason. Maybe I'm just a loon.
