NYC Bound! February 8 - 12 (reviews posted - updated 2/11) — Page 2

See A Chorus Line over The Color Purple. And since you don't have tickets to Jersey Boys, you'll have to try for SRO or Rush. I'd say heck with it and see Company. Jersey Boys will be around for a while, Company not likely. Go see Company & A Chorus Line!!!

Are you getting tickets for Les Mis at Tkts?

HOU... stick with your choices.. you have great taste. Enjoy your trip!

By the way, I agree about Esparza's voice in Company. I hear all these raves about him, but for me, he left alot to be desired. Did you see Sweeney when it was open?

See Hairspray you'll laugh till you ache. So much fun.

Ashame you didn't like the Spring Awakening video. I wouldn't judge the whole show on just the video though. It really is a must see in my opinion. I saw it at the Atlantic and can't wait to get back to see it on Broadway. Have fun on your trip!

go see BEAUTY AND THE BEAST before it closes!!! = )

I saw Grey Gardens last night. First of all, I got great seats (tickets at TKTS) on Row J, 2 aisle seats, center orchestra. Also, I got the entire original cast - no understudies.

Amazing! Christine Ebersole is everything I thought she would be. Mesmerizing in my opinion. I just adored seeing Mary Louise Wilson onstage. I have seen her in many things on TV over the years. The entire cast was just excellent. I have to say that my absolute favorite person was Michael Potts who played Brooks Sr./Brooks Jr. His face during a certain not PC song peformed by Big Edie in Act 1 was hilarious!

Act 2 was very intriguing! I told my friend who I was with that I want to see the show again, because there was so much to take in - especially in the second act.

Have you seen the Grey Gardens documentary that the second Act is based on? If not, see it. I think you will aprreciate Ms. Ebersoles performance even more. I have seen it and have only heard her and seen clips, but I can tell she nailed it.

The Apple Tree - Mike McGowan was in for Brian last night. I was looking forward to seeing D'Arcy, but McGowen gave a great performance. I've seen Marc Kudish on some TV spots for musicals, but never live. And I really enjoy his great stage presence onstage. Kristin was perfection last night...well, except for when there was a loud sound coming from maybe the lights? during Lady and the Tiger. She kept referring to it, first to Walter Charles (was did not break - but Kristin did) and then to Kudish (who both broke and had to be promted by the conductor to get back into the show). I loved all 3 shows and liked how they all related to each other.

Evil Dead: The Musical - well this was a complete 180 from The Apple Tree. For what it was, it was fun. No, I did not sit in the Splatter Zone. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had seen the movie first. I noticed there were lots of people who did who were quoting the famous lines along with the actors. I think it's a great premise, and performances were good, but I felt that if some actors took their character (which all of the female roles did) more seriously instead of letting us in on the joke - I would have enjoyed it more.
