An odd one, there is a minor 'streamer gate' issue that has been happening for several performances where they seem to have run out of streamers for the cannons at the end of Act One. Have they literally just run out??
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

God, I hate streamers or anything that explodes onto the audience. What an ugly trend, I hope it goes away very soon.

Who are “these people” you cite? I am definitely not one of them and I am pretty sure I am not alone.

Amen.
While we aren't in Trump territory yet, the political landscape here isn't exactly hunky-dory. Yet, EVITA is the biggest hit London has seen in ages.
The show will no doubt transfer and be as divisive on Bway as it has been here but will also likely replicate it's incredible success, especially if they have Rachel Zegler in tow.
The failure of TAMMY FAYE had zero to do with politics (whatever Elton thinks) and everything to do with a horrendous marketing campaign....not to mention the worst choice of theatre for a mid-sized show.

I think the better comparison is Cabaret. A show that was warmly received and has continued a successful run in London and hated over here. Evita New York is a disaster in waiting.

A disaster? I doubt it.
A massive hit like London? I wouldn't wager a lot on this.
A popular show like Sunset with solid buzz? Seems reasonably likely.

There are several individuals on this board who like to post sweeping generalizations such as this, as if they speak for everyone.
