IF/THEN opening in DC tonight. — Page 3

disneybroadwayfan, I'm sure qolbinau will have a hissy fit about spoilers but:

Idina kisses Anthony and they end up in bed together. No stripping, no nudity, nothing below the waist. The lights go down and they skip to the next morning.

OrangeSkittles, I don't know why you continue to be so bitchy about this issue considering my only request was that people be mindful about spoilers. For your recent post, as soon as I read that your post may contain spoilers I decided not to read it and all was fine. Prefacing your posts with a spoiler tag is exactly what other people have done on this forum for a long time for new shows.

I don't see why requesting you (or others) be more thoughtful of other people deserves ridicule. It seems to me that you're only the one having a hissy fit here.

Ok, that's good! :)

I didn't even notice the subway map! Maybe it wasn't visible from the side where I was sitting.

I saw it opening night. I really really wanted to like this show and so did the audience. You could feel everyone's anticipation and as soon as Idina came out there was spontaneous applause (which seemed to throw her off a little). Unfortunately, what a lot of other people are saying is true - it was really hard to follow. I felt very distracted trying to figure out what timeline she was in. As far as music, there were a few good numbers and one really fabulous one toward the end of the second act (which makes the whole ending anti-climatic) but in general there are too many ballads that all sound the same. The set design did remind me a lot of Next to Normal but the mirrored ceiling was very cool. There were some funny moments, some good scenes, but it was very long and I just never cared all that much about the characters - I almost dozed off at one point. I do see potential, but it seems like some of these problems should have been fixed before now. Oh and there is one scene that should be completely eliminated. It makes absolutely no sense and does not add anything to the story since it is only briefly mentioned in later scenes. Hopefully the creators will take the feedback they get before officially opening and do some tweaking.

What time does it end?

People need to learn the difference between "complained about" and "asked politely". qolbinau asked politely. Let's back off.

*Spoiler* post below:

Just saw this last night but don't agree about the family option being "pushed" as the right one. The outcome certainly is more positive in the one where she focuses first on her career - in that one she ends up with both, but in the other one only with a career (ironically).

But neither option is presented as her direct choice (choosing career or family in the initial decision that sets the different outcomes going) - both are presented as occurring as consequences of chance (i.e. being offered a great job or being offered love and marriage - she didn't turn either of them down in the beginning of either scenario - just didn't have the opportunity for them presented to her by life), so arguably neither option is being presented as a choice that she makes directly, but as chance outcomes resulting from luck that follow a different and much more minor choice (the initial one of which friend to go with for one evening).
