I heard you're Broadway Flash.

I've got a coupon you can use to get a trim down below.

Excellent barber. Sweeney is his name.

I randomly saw this last night via 20at20 and didn't even realize it was the opening. Nothing about it gave off opening vibes, especially the half empty theatre. This was a bigger disappointment than I was expecting. Not one good once in the bunch. There was an updated song list paper in the Playbill showing they've apparently cut the opening number and I can't imagine how bad it had to be if they're keeping in the rest of...that. I don't know why they've been working on this musical for so many years and it's still such a bust. Hopefully LBB will be back in a good show soon, since this one doesn't seem to be long for this world.

Have any of the top publications even published a review… ?

1 Minute Critic review ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Targeting those who already love the film, the musical stays true to the original plotlines and eras while introducing a bright new universe, punctuated by heightened physical comedy, MTV golden-era dance routines, and character portrayals that defy imitation. Romy & Michele also evokes feminist themes, including the importance of female friendship, which remains relevant nearly 30 years later.

But the 80s and 90s pop-inspired score (music and lyrics by Gwendolyn Sanford and Branford Jay), while a refreshing departure from all the jukebox musicals, is uneven and, with the show’s nearly two-and-a-half-hour length, ends up searching for memorable hooks.

Not according to the NY Post review "The sorry excuse for a stage adaptation, which opened Tuesday at Stage 42.""

Opening night was Monday and I know because I was there. The post is wrong."



Or there was a cast opening (with the party) on Monday, and then the official Press Opening (with a review embargo) on Tuesday. Two things can be true -- especially on a show like this that was not expecting a war reception from the critics.

I was supposed to see it this weekend, but Laura Bell Bundy is out… She’s on tour so she’s not gonna be there Friday Saturday . What is the show like without her? I wonder. Does anybody know? Will she be back by Sunday? She’s in some show called big girl now Friday and Saturday according to website

don’t know how you could be on tour for other shows when being in the show

There’s nothing listed on the website that she’s out, so I’m trying to decide. Is it worth seeing it without her or will she be back by Sunday? If she’s in Ohio on Saturday night could she make it back for a show Sunday

It should have never opened, it was the worst thing I've seen in years, and I love both actresses. This show is embarrassing on every technical/visual/artistic level and has no place on any stage anywhere. The film deserved so much better.

That theatre is cursed !!

I don't know. 20 Sided Tavern had a pretty decent run (even though they were running on Hasbro's dine) and really only closed up shop to take the same cast on tour. But musicals.... yeah musicals are cursed maybe.

I had a friend go over this last weekend, she said it was empty. (And not good.)
