Edit *the video simply said it was an “impromptu performance,” I didn’t know it was for a cause of some sort"

 

Of course you didn’t. LOL

Oooooof, Idina sounds ROUGH lol   When was the last time Idina sounded good singing "For Good" or "Defying Gravity". It's been a while.

I was in the city last weekend and saw this. I wanted to love it but sadly was underwhelmed. Everything was average. Nothing special at all. I walked out of the theatre with nothing. Bummer.

I saw it last night, and after reading the overall reviews and the word of mouth on here, I was very pleasantly surprised. Idina was in strong voice, the rest of the cast was solid, and the projection design was stunning. The songs are more vibes than actual fully-realized numbers, but there were effective moments. Could use a trim here and there, but I’m happy I got to see it.

1:55 runtime tonight, started at 7:05 and blackout at 9.

I was shocked at how much I liked this one. It has a strong enough message, most of the music is pretty solid, and Idina was in FANTASTIC voice this evening. I saw a few people around me shedding some tears towards the end.

This show takes a bit to find its footing, but once it does it's a smooth climb.

Tonight was John Hemphill's Finn debut — he was quite alright. A youthful hipster who takes to Jesse from the onset and understands her plight.

I thought Khaila Wilcoxon and Zachary Noah Piser both stole the show. I could even see Piser in particular potentially snagging a surprise Outer Critics Circle nom for featured actor in a musical (as there are some fine performances in DEAD OUTLAW and BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB that will not be in consideration).

I felt a bit dizzy in the beginning, but the projections and lighting design were fab. Stella gives Hwaboon a good run for the money with the plant rep this season. What a wonder she is.

But in the end it is mostly about Idina and she delivers, big-time. It's nice to have her back on Broadway.

Also, today was their last day fundraising for BC/EFA this spring. (Idina did the speech and implored the audience to "go climb a tree!".)
