Somecheapfrenchthing, you covered a lot of what I thought. The actors on stage are good—normally, I find Mitchell Jarvis hilarious and I think Paul Whitty and Tad Wilson and names more people need to know and are doing their best, but it feels like you’re watching a movie that Adam Sandler passed on.

Chatted with Mr. Davenport and John Rando about how the show came together, how it found its setting and more:

So it's only acceptable to boss people around when you do it?! Plus, it is often important to put self-respect ahead of respect for the theater community. People aren't going to say they liked a show because the people tried hard and gave it a good effort, especially not after putting $16.95 of their hard-earned money and their time (often worth more than the ticket cost) into seeing it.

For anyone who follows DoubleD Reviews on Youtube, he just posted his review of the show yesterday and you can tell he's trying so hard to say something nice lol.
I should’ve been Blac Chyna.

I just watched the Broadwayworld clips. I still hope to see this during my upcoming trip. Who is the shirtless, tattoo, goatee guy in the clip? He is fine.

Seeing it tomorrow night. Not expecting much from this board and those released clips. Tell me why in 2018, actors are still wearing those distracting mics around their ears?? Wasn't RENT a million years ago? Hate them.

Check out Ken's latest social media post. He initially used #IDontWantPressPerformances and then edited to #IDontWatchPressPerfmrances. Freudian slip?

They’re using tweets and audience testimonials in ads, and one of the quotes compares the show to BOOK OF MORMON... Is Scott Rudin going to go after Ken Davenport like he did with HONEYMOON IN VEGAS?

YES! That happened the night I was there too. My friend said it reminded him of when Jimmy Fallon used to break on SNL. But to me it felt rehearsed. Then I heard from a friend involved with the show that they actually put it in the script for those characters to break there. Weird.

I don't remember them breaking character when I saw it. But I also don't remember the guy coming out as gay either? Maybe I was daydreaming at that point. It's forgettable. Honestly, I think Head Over Heels is the best of the 3 new shows.

Back from tonight's performance. Not for me but the audience was having a ball. I'm sure many were friends of the show but not all. Ensemble member made a short speech about telling people about the show because they "need it now more than ever." It needs good reviews and I would think word of mouth should help because there is an audience for this type of show. Thought the actors were game but the music is bland. While the book is corny, I think it's better than the score.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I saw it this weekend and actually really enjoyed it. I had a blast, and so did the rest of the audience it seems. It's definitely not a well-written show but the cast is really great and I had a better time at this show than I did at a lot of other recent musicals.
I wish it well but I still don't think it will succeed.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
