You are keeping no one "in line". Now stop. You've held up the boards long enough, yes- trolling. Stop, please."

Ain't you tired? Clearly, you are overwhelmingly not wanted here. Move on, troll.

This review is dead-on. The show sadly isn’t the big Best Musical front-runner we’ve been waiting for. It can’t decide what it is actually about after going in 5 different directions. The music is bland, they needed major song cuts and rewrites. Two songs standout that made me see potential of what the show could have been (“Belong to Someone” and Shoshana and Paul’s wonderful “Wild”)…

There is so much going on here, I wish it went out of town! Too much that needs to be fixed and not enough time."

In your opinion having seen this, what show would you say is the Best Musical frontrunner?"

Not to answer for daniellesf, but I still think Two Strangers is the Best Musical frontrunner. It especially helps that it's the only completely original musical in contention.

Finally watched the movie. I'd heard the hype about how homoerotic it was. I was disappointed that this boiled down to some flirty looks from Sutherland and flamboyant behavior from Haim. (Plus that Rob Lowe poster). Does the musical make any of these characters openly LGBT+?

Yes. One of the gayest characters on Broadway right now.

I guess I've got to be patient and wait for discounts for Fall, because right now seats I looked at for Fall are priced about $50 more than they are for the next couple months.

I think they don't usually release discount codes until they know they will last through the summer.

One review that mentions the domestic drama taking center stage, and resulting ennui from water treading, raises a point: the film dramatizes a lot of pedestrian middle class life, with the titular characters and their activities if not tangential, weighed down by small town teen comedy/rom com tropes. Not a problem, unless the musical swings too far between reality-based family story's earnest survival and an overly romanticized view of the tribe of vampires. The story needs some grit and consistency in establishing place and how the spaces are inhabited. If the leaps into horror are too spectacle-centric, the show becomes bifurcated in tone and texture. Is that the predominate issue right now? The contrasts are too stark?

Apologies, I was trying to use the code on Telecharge. Thank you!
