Sounds about right....I wouldn't expect new ones to crop up until mid may -- just before these current ones expire. Most new shows will be hoping to get a bump in sales if they get Tony noms -- and will hope to benefit without discounts.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Based on the preview I saw the other night I would bet that the show will be closed by June. Despite Raul's performance the rest of the show is awful. Probably one of the WORST musicals I've ever seen.If this show does well I will eat my hat.
Probably one of , if not the worst, show I have seen on Broadway/Off Broadway.
nothing was redeeming.
Raul- overacting, kitsch and screaming.
music- bland and goes nowhere
set- blah, boring and clunky
costumes- uninspired
lyrics- embarrassing
books- predictable and lifeless
choreography- uninspired
throw in 1hr and 45 minutes of nothing (basically you can take the first 10 minutes and repeat it 14 times) an 11 o'clock number for Raul that he screeches and over-sings in leather pants and a final number with a rain machine
the crowd goes whoah--they feel redeemed they spent money on a ticket- everyone claps
then, it's the undeserving automatic standing ovation at the end- which I slipped out for-
and then the ensemble tackily goes around the audience collecting more of YOUR money in their baskets as part of their characters.
and that's the show.
there are better things you can spend a discount coupon on.
