Didn't disagree with any of those sentiments, but the level at which people are ready to pounce is exhausting. Like yeah, miscast entirely. It's boring. There's plenty else about this production to critique in a thoughtful way. Let's try some depth as getatme's review has.

I personally like the different sound from both of them. I can't even listen to the Adam Kantor/Betsy Wolfe recording-it's like Kids Bop Last Five Years-just nothing but all around schmacting. But I know I'm in the severe minority. Luckily there will still be 100s of productions of this show for years to come so everyone can rest easy.

Just saw this. The worst part of this show is White’s direction, an overall mess. Adrienne Warren will be nominated for this. She’s spectacular.

I was able to score tickets from TodayTix rush today. My overall thought is that anyone that loves this score will have a great time. Adrienne Warren is also incredible.

For anyone speculating, their paid social ads have been updated with "THRU 6.22 ONLY" messaging, so no dice on this extending unless one of the celebs they were trying to poach pulls through. But I'm sure ATG is able to fill the theater quickly.

Saw this last night. Agee the direction was not great. To be honest (we got tickets because my daughter loves this show, but my husband and I knew nothing about the premise of the show going in) we were slightly confused. We found it meandering and disjointed. I wanted to like the actors, but even struggled with that. I thought it was just me but afterwards my husband confirmed what I was thinking when he said, Were both of the actors flat on several notes? Maybe were both having off nights but their voices simply didn't wow me (though don't get me wrong, there were flashes of perfection by Warren), nor do I think the actors meshed well at all. I was glad it was a short 90 minutes, but it's an unremarkable, unmemorable show.

so I was there tonight and I echo what a lot of people are saying Nick Jonas sounds too pop for this score. He’s a fine singer and sure he’s talented but I just don’t think he is right for this role. I thought that the chemistry he had with Adrienne Warren wasn’t as bad as everybody thought and to be honest, I kind of liked the interaction between the two characters. I thought it had just the right amount of interaction and at the right moments to help tell the story I think if you saw this without knowing how the show works, it would definitely be a confusing show to watch. as for Adrian Warren holy moly can that woman sing I was up in the balcony and it felt like her voice hit me in the face. She’s doing all the heavy lifting in this show and seems to have way more invested emotionally. You believe that her Cathy is going through all the emotions during the relationship, whereas Nick’s Jamie just comes off, looking like an unemotional dick. Who knows maybe that’s a direction choice. I definitely think that Adrian Warren will get a Tony nomination this season, but unfortunately, with some of the other actresses in the mix, I don’t know if it’s enough to get her second Tony.

 

the stage door was fairly civilized as it was a Thursday night.Adrienne Warren is a lovely human and they both took time to go the whole way down the line. Overall I enjoyed the show, but my main reason for going was to see Adrienne Warren sing the roof off the Hudson which she did
