I'll add that the show is better with Hilty having a solo. We need to hear her sing more!!
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
He did such an odd "Ain't I a stinker" performance with his overt indication of a recorder and his cutesy wondering if he could quote Frank about Derek sleeping with any actress in a Marilyn wig.
Shukert seemed understandably exhausted by the 2 hour running time (I was, too!), but the insipidity that is Karen/Kat will continue to be a font of inspiration. Loved her take on the bartender!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
The writers have themselves to blame for this happening. They should not have done all that inconsistent script writing in season 1. We'll be lucky to even get some closure this season.
I love this show. But I think you're right about the inconsistencies in Season 1. Last night's ratings were extremely low. It also won't help that the show is off until Feb. 19.
question: when it returns in two weeks, will it air at 9pm or 10pm?? they need some kind of ratings boost or there's no chance we'll see a season 3.

theyre setting up the whole season, new characters etc, so thats why it mightve been a bit slow in some sections.

I don't think this show will be pulled before all of its episodes are aired. If you compare it to the other shows on NBC right now, DO NO HARM is doing worst, and SMASH is performing in the range of THE NEW NORMAL, GO ON and DECEPTION.
What NBC needs to do is air The Voice results show Tuesdays at 9PM instead to help give SMASH a bit of a boost.
I just checked. Pres. Obama's State of the Union address is next Tuesday. All networks preempted. Perhaps NBC can find a way to build an audience by the 19th.
im so sick of investing in shows like 666ParkAve, and The B in Apt 23 only to have them pulled for BS

'Harry's Law' had 1.0 ratings during its second and final season, so maybe NBC will just air the rest of the episodes and the let the series end after that.
PalJoey, thanks for posting the link to the Vulture recap! I was looking for it this morning and couldn't find it. Last season, that was literally my favorite part of watching- reading the Vulture recap and broadwayabridged's take on the show.
I really do like the fact they're setting up Karen and Ivy to be in different shows. Although, all of the "Jimmy's show is the new Rent!" references made me gag. Really looking forward to the "Les Liasons" musical with Ivy.
With all fairness didn't it follow the Superbowl or something last year? NBC loves this project, and with other shows not doing so well I could see them trying to get a third season out of it. Did NBC release their line up, where will it be the rest of the season?
However, I know that you all might disagree with me about this, but no matter what happens with this I would like to see McPhee play Elphaba in the film adaptation of 'Wicked'. I think she would be better than Lea Michele.
Bway.com did a rating of best songs from last night's premier and Ivy's song, "They Keep Moving the Line", came in 1st as the fave with "Broadway Here I Come", second. Karen's best was 5th. IMO Mcfee doesn't work in this show.
