Sorry if I missed something, but how did you get a $34 ticket?

The LPFAN22 code is giving very large discounts on performances through the end of the month. $43 with the fee.

Oh my goodness why are the lyrics being projected on the stage?? This is the type of artsy fartsy nonsense that Rachel chavkin likes to do. Dread. I think my prediction of this not being nominated is still intact.

Neither number is great but “Perfection” is absolutely numbing. That poor ensemble. Someone commented “Merde” which instagram hid. Not sure if they meant it in the “break a leg” sense but either way, it fits.

Must have been a screw-up in the first part of it which they conspicuously cut out of the video.

I actually find "Perfection" pretty thrilling and have had the released track on repeat in anticipation for Tuesday. Maybe the so far mediocre scores this season have me yearning for an ear worm, but from what I've heard (and seen after today) I'm holding out hope for this one!

It just feels so conceptual that the direction is taking over. If they were in period pieces, maybe it would work better, but the direction/choreo is intentionally staged like a Madonna concert. They’ve lost the plot. It’s giving me euro vision vibes, which I love but something’s off here. And the WW2 of it all is unfortunate.

These clips are not doing it for me either. Style over substance and I don’t really like the style.

Hard to judge with just a couple videos and this is nearly 3 hours long. But I only paid $60 for front row mezzanine so can't really complain if this ends up bad.

okay it looks like it's 2 hours 30 min. with the intermission.

Put me in the cautiously optimistic camp. I think the songs sound like bops, and these out of context filmed segments rarely deliver a sense of the whole picture. I’m reserving judgement until I see a preview in a couple weeks.

Portions of the earlier mentioned deleted clips have been posted on the instagrams of the show and BWW, plus excerpts of new numbers, and the lyrics are really “fill in the blank” across the board. The shock-and-awe design doesn’t cover it.

This show gets my early prediction for the next “Deserves to be seen/Deserves to have a life” campaign by fans if the required audience doesn’t show up.
