I think Book of Mormon needs some fine tuning after seeing it tonight. Phantom and Kinky Boots are in great shape.

Just out of curiosity, who did you see in the lead at Phantom? Most of the principals in the current cast range from solid to outstanding, but the regular Phantom (James Barbour) disappoints me every time. If you saw the show last week, then you likely got one of the covers (Jeremy Stolle, Paul Shaefer, or Laird Mackintosh), all of whom are much better in my book.

I have seen both and enjoyed Mr. Mackintosh plenty more.

He's wonderful. He's a fantastic Andre (his normal role) and his Phantom takes a page from Mr. Crawford's interpretation, which I love.
