Did they spend all the money making "stadium seating"?

Yeah, Roxy, you can bet Brantley's sharpening his knives, getting ready to unjustly malign yet another new musical. Right?!

I haven't seen the show, but I agree with the review that a musical chronicling Tupac's life using his music and poems would be a lot more engaging that current the gang war plot of the show that people have described.

How quickly you skip over the clear pull quote in the opening paragraph:

I wonder if they had to paper tonight or were able to find enough poor souls to con into seeing this on opening night.

I remember someone in the preview thread saying you couldn't buy tickets for opening night early in the preview period, so they probably just have invited guests, families, and well-wishers tonight.

Time Out is mixed to negative

"While there have been rap-rich musicals (In the Heights), the fusion of hip-hop and razzle-dazzle has been tricky at best, tacky at worst. The latest attempt is Holler if Ya Hear Me, a ghetto-not-so-fabulous repurposing of songs by Tupac Shakur (1971-96) for a ramshackle morality tale about revenge and second chances. Although songwriting purists will shrink and wince at Shakur's freewheeling meter and propensity to rhyme slant, the real crime against craft is Todd Kreidler's weak book...Director Kenny Leon has a surer hand with straight plays (such as his solid revival of A Raisin in the Sun), and the enterprise deserves respect for bringing Shakur's verbal pyrotechnics and political rage before a new audience. But Holler is a shapeless mix of melodrama, music video and half-grasped musical clichés."

"I remember someone in the preview thread saying you couldn't buy tickets for opening night early in the preview period, so they probably just have invited guests, families, and well-wishers tonight."

As of last week, if you went to their website, today was shown as "NO SHOW" on their performance schedule.

If you went directly to Ticketmaster, Balcony was for sale. I didn't click through, so not sure how much of the balcony they were selling.

"HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME", a new musical based on the songs of Tupac Shakur, is certainly loud, but does it have anything to say? Watch our full video review to find out!

^ It looks like you two are the only ones who have anything remotely positive to say about this.

These reviews coming in are awful.

...The multi-character plot that replaces the expected bio-drama is at times muddled or poorly paced, and feels no fresher and less moving than a one-sided “West Side Story.”
Yet, there are enough arresting moments, and the cast of 22 is talented enough, to have made me wonder while I was watching the show, whether it would have worked better without a plot – like the “choreopoems” of Ntozake Shange’s “For colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf “

For those curious about tickets for tonight's show, it was up on TKTS according to their mobile app. Granted, that could not mean much.
