TUCK EVERLASTING Previews — Page 10

The ballet, like everything else, is overdone. It could have been told in half the time. We get it. Instead it just drags and drags and drags. And then you think the shows over, but no.

I enjoyed looking at the pretty boy----those lips were made for--------you insert [the words].

Well, yes, considering they open on Tuesday. They've likely been frozen for a week(ish).

I believe it's Matt Meigs

I just noticed he was rehearsing his understudy track a few days ago so I'm guessing he's a swing/understudy rather than ensemble now.

this show was a 2 hour nap. SO BAD. the music was awful, the dancing heinous and AKB's acting was mildly epileptic.

LOL

Here is the highlights reel

Not really impressed, the music does not hit me and I am sorry but that red poodle wig for "Winnie" looks awful.

I know it's not in Previews anymore, but I don't want to start a new thread...



I just got tickets for tonight's show and they're for Row B in the Right Mezz. I know that tree is on that side. Does anyone know if it blocks much from the Mezz or if it's only the Orch where the tree is a problem?

I thought Tuck was amazing. The story is believable and ther peefomances given by Sarah, Carolee, Terrance, as well as the rest of the cast, are very impressive. I'm not sure why people have decided to get so negative about a piece of theatre that does an awesome job telling a story that deals with a very real life lesson. To me, I compare it to works like The Secret Garden, Big River, etc. which really allow you to compare the events in the story to events in your own life.

I have nothing against the other musicals being considered this season, but I think Tuck should be recognized for how the total package is delivered to the audience. The visuals are breathtaking and honestly some of the best work I have seen on the Broadway stage this season...it is so refreshing to see truly thoughtful work on the stage and I think the cast gives it every performance. I think that this is unexpected evening for Casey and people go into it expecting his usual deal, but I appreciate his ability to step outside the box and really deliver something that we have not seen in a while.

I think everyone can agree that while not perfect, Tuck Everlasting truly is a must see this season and really deserves the chance to be considered not only because of the amazing costumes and amazing performances by the star studded cast, but because it really shows a side of the creative team that we don't usually get to see/celebrate.

I, too, found it to be a lovely show, and I'm surprised at some of the negative reactions. I think the ballet at the end is stunningly beautiful and a total surprise. I'm rooting for this show to do well, and it will be very popular with young audiences -- it's sweet, yet thought-provoking. Such amazingly diverse shows in NYC right now. I saw "Dear Evan Hansen" tonight -- I have a feeling that is going to be big next year on Broadway. There's room for all kinds of shows. If "Tuck Everlasting" is too G-rated for you, try Evan.

I saw the final preview and it reminded me of the cotton candy at the fair. Light and bright with some contented moments ("My Most Beautiful Day" was one) but after all was said and done, I wasn't completely satisfied.

I suspect I might enjoy the cast recording because I liked the performances but it was a show I appreciated more in moments rather than a cohesive whole.
