THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL Opening Night Critics’ Reviews — Page 6

Just caught another show, and here are my thoughts! While it didn't have that wow factor, it was enjoyable, especially seeing how much fun the audience was having. This isn't groundbreaking theater; it's more of a jukebox musical. But sometimes, that's exactly what you need—a show that guarantees a good time, especially for those visiting from out of town who want to experience Broadway.

The joy and energy were palpable in the audience, and sometimes, that's all you need to leave with a smile. While the show didn't push boundaries, it delivered on entertainment and the power of music, making it a worthwhile experience for those looking for a fun night out.

but yes, I do agree. It probably will not last long,

Hopefully they’ll do a cast album!

I think the flash sale they did was a very smart move. The theater seemed pretty full on Saturday. I didn't see the mezzanine or balcony, but can anyone confirm how full those sections were? This could slowly build a following- at least I'm praying it does. We need this joy right now.

What would be the most telling sign? Which performance?

As someone may have already said, this show could work great on tour.

It’s already recorded - just awaiting a release date. Corey Cott mentioned at the SD on opening night that they had a listening party for it a few days prior"

Thrilled to hear this! I’m hoping they’ll release it soon as it helps with marketing.

It's not.

I got a ticket for show next week and thought shows have to give 2 week notice before closing."

They don't have to do a two week notice.

what's that musical that gave a week's notice? was it Paradise Square?

"They don't have to do a two week notice."

Ok. For my sake, I hope they do not close before next week. Would love to see it run through the summer but I am fully aware there is no freaking way that will happen sadly.

Maybe the first post-Tony's casualty?

That title already belongs to Lempicka."

My bad. I meant post Tony Awards, not nominations

yyys said: "Looks like they stopped selling balcony seats."

Well. That can't be good. I did notice their ticket prices have gone up. Maybe they're hoping to sell the mezzanine seats at a higher price and hold on until just after the Tony Awards. Unless someone has intel that they're closing before then.
