-A Bronx Tale D- / NA and no interest
-Aladdin C / C
-Bandstand D+ / NA, but I LOVE the CD and hope to see in October if by some miracle it is still open
-Beautiful D / B (It was mediocre fun)
-Book of Mormon F / B (It doesn't to me hold up to repeated viewing -- I have seen it only 3 times, but I did enjoy it)
-Cats D / F-- (I have never hated a show as much as I hate Cats)
-Chicago B / A- (Not as good as the Fosse version, but great fun)
-Come From Away C+ / B- (pretty close...I just lean more to B than a more damning C)
-Groundhog Day F+ / NA and no interest
-Hamilton B- / A. not A++. I think it is over directed, which takes away from the overall experience.
-Kinky Boots B / B+
-Lion King F / C... I do love the first 3 minutes and periodic 'Julie touches', e.g., the stampede, the walk across the bush, etc.
-Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet F / B- ...I loved the staging, and had become somewhat familiar with the score before seeing, so I enjoyed a number of the songs, even if I was not very engaged. Also, I thought the cast as very good, although I detest Lucas Steele's voice (I liked his performance...just not his voice).
-On Your Feet B / B (and very surprised at that)
-Phantom of the Opera C / A (but I haven't seen it on Broadway in probably 20 years, so maybe that doesn't count)
-School of Rock B / B
-Sunset Boulevard A / A- (I found myself wandering a few times, but boy were the highs high)
-Waitress C+ / B- (same sort of distinction...I think I probably enjoyed it more than you, although I didn't think the music added much to the underlying story)
-War Paint C / NA and no interest
-Wicked C+ / B+ (an interesting one. I have seen it 6 times, (maybe 7 -- trying to remember) and enjoyed it, immensely although I think the direction, sets and costumes are awful, and I consider Dr. Dillamont's number of the Wiz's numbers (I think I remember that there are two) to be terrible filler
-- Dear Evan Hansen / A (First part of Act 2 kept this from being an A+: perfect).
-- Hello Dolly / A- (Disappointed with the overture, the orchestrations in general, and the 'holding back' during the crescendos in the title number and Put On Your Sunday Clothes, although it was otherwise a total joy. And Bette was simply not as good as Carol Channing in her original run or Pearl Bailey).
Just looking at this. Boy, are you tough...sis you used to be another person whose name shall not be used. Only kidding. I like the fact that everything was not an A or a B...just surprised by a few. I put mine next to yours for comparison. See Above.
