I just came back from the matinee and agree with your assessment on the entire cast.
I also want to add in that the ensemble is great! Ann Harada, Maia Mkenge Wilson, Van Hughes, etc. they are all amazing! I always wish they have an Outstanding Ensemble category at the Tonys, and if they did 9to5 would win it this year!

Posted: 4/11/09 at 8:05pmI am hearing great things on how they changed the hospital scene! It was probably my least favorite scene, and now I'm told it has one of the funnier Judy/Violet moments in the show =)

Great review! I completely agree that this show is one of the funnest times I've had in the theater in awhile!
:SPOILER:
The hospital scene was really funny! Violet dresses up as a doctor and steals what she thinks is Hart's dead body. She runs around the hospital like a crazy woman. Funny stuff.

Posted: 4/11/09 at 10:17pmIt's actually the exchange the two have between them (and another nurse/doctor?) right before they exit the scene that I was referring to.

Posted: 4/11/09 at 10:35pmThe "I'm a doctor? I'm a doctor. Why the hell am I talking to you, PISS OFF!"? That's in the movie too.

Posted: 4/11/09 at 10:56pmTimeSquare3, I believe Popular is referring to Judy's "Healing was her LIFE!" line that is part of that scene in the stage version.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 4/12/09 at 1:39amAfter seeing the whole show last night, I second acted again tonight after God of Carnage. I really think this show is excellent and is strong all around.

Okay, love that they're adding new stuff, even smaller stuff like this.

This is a BroadwaySecret, but this is basically curtain call:

I've never seen the film, actually. So, I apologize if that was common knowledge. I wanted to go in with a fresh mind, sans the film and such.

Saw the second preview. No doubt about it, this show is deliriously fun! Probably the next 'Hairspray'-type hit musical comedy, which we don't have many of this season!
A few questions:
-Are the tracks on the website a demo or the cast recording? They sound fantastic!
-Who's the cute blond boy who does most of the 'speciality' dancing? He's always front and center, dances on during transitions, kinda like Spencer Liff was in 'Cry-Baby'?
Thanks in advance.

Also, I really liked the curtain. I thought it was really cool.

I saw the show via rush yesterday matinee and ended up in Row H on the right. It was a pretty good seat, I would like to see it from the center or full view next time. I didn't get to appreciate the sets and I could only see about 30% of the screen in the back.
I enjoyed the show, it's lots of fun! I didn't love the music, some of it just wasn't catchy enough for me. It's very Dolly but it has a pinch of Broadway in it. I think I enjoyed the book more than the music. I will just tell those who haven't seen it, you have heard the best songs. The songs in the videos and on the site are the best songs by far.
I loved the choreography. I wish there was more room for choreography in this show. You can tell Andy Blankenbuehler choreographed this, he is great at making simple walking steps interesting. I would love to see him direct something at some point. His work for In The Heights was incredible and this is great too. I think Billy Elliot obviously has the Choreography Tony but this is very close.
Allison Janney is incredible! I think she is hilarious and you hardly notice her lack of a voice, her acting makes up for it. I want her to win the Tony but Alice Ripley will probably get it. I would actually love to see Josefina get it but that will not happen.
Megan Hilty will have a good future after this. She is great in this. Her voice is great and so is her acting. Although I think her accent was a little to squeaky and high, it needs to be toned down a bit. I would like see her nominated for a Tony but I don't think she will win.
Stephanie J. Block is also great. Her voice is killer! I don't know how she can sing like that. She will also be nominated but I am still going for Karen Olivo. It is close but I think Karen deserves it.
The show will go far and will be a hit. The theater was full and I think it continue to fill up. It is definitely the next Hairspray. I hope that after the cast leaves they can still hold up, it's a very cast heavy show. The cast shines bright and will need good replacements.
