I hope it inspires a spin-off series, "Understudies Lip-Synch!".

Looking forward to Fiddlers performance. And I hope Finding Neverland does something different for a change. They always do Believe or Stronger. They should take a chance and do Something About This Night or Play or something.

^From rehearsal coverage, it seems they'll be doing Believe.

Why do they not sing live again?

^ For logistical reasons. They would sound awful, which is not good for selling tickets.

"Believe" is the best number in the show so it makes sense they pump it up.
Who else is performing?

I prefer play. That's just me I guess.

It's not that I don't enjoy "Believe" but they have done it so many times now on many different talk shows. I would assume though that the producers didn't want to perform any songs with Frohman/Hook, since they are trying to now advertise Kelsey Grammer's return to the roles, and not confuse anyone with Terrence Mann in the parade.

Fiddler came off rather well.

Fiddler had the best lip syncing so far. That choreography is insanely good.

The Fiddler chores looks a bit frenetic. I'm wondering if Hamilton has encouraged other productions to kick it up a notch.
Also, I haven't seen Finding Netherland, but I thought it was a nice touch at the end for the camera to pan up the side of the Macy's building to show the word Believe.

On Your Feets performance sucked. I never will see that. The King and I, Neverland, and Something Rotten were all good but we've seen it before. Oh my God though, Fiddler blew me away. I am so excited to see this. It looked amazing.

Fiddler blew you away? It's the same number that's done in every high school every year in almost the exact same way...
The wiz showed me what high school show choirs are now doing. That choreo was awful.

That was actually a great Rockett performance. I felt like it was a modernized version of it for some reason. Nice job rockettes.

Are the Rockettes totally white now?

I feel like choreography for The Wiz weighs behind vocals and what Cirque du Soleil is going to bring to the show (which we didn't see here). I'm expecting a great show next Thursday.

ScoreCard at 2/3 mark on a scale from 1-10 ( with 10 being top)
*5 -ON YOUR FEET- Generic yet energetic opening that tells you nothing of the show. Showing the last thrilling 10 minutes of the show is surely misrepresentative of the rest of the show
*10-THE KING & I- Perfection.
*5 -FINDING NEVERLAND- Been there, done it. It seems the show has been playing for 3 years already.
*7- SOMETHING ROTTEN- Great number that theatre purists will ”get” and enjoy. Out of context it's just another fun number.
*10- FIDDLER ON THE ROOF- Great choice for the excitement factor alone. Loved the fresh movement by the new choreographer.
*4- THE WIZ- Is Debbie Allen back? #HideousLooking
*10-ROCKETTES- On their mark!

I thought The Wiz looked awful. The choreography was surprisingly old fashioned. I've said from the beginning it's a terrible musical. It has some great songs and some awful songs. The book is a disaster. I don't think they solved any of the problems from what I saw. The girl playing Dorothy looks like she is 30 years old. I don't know how old she really is.
I DID think the dancing on Fiddler was really wonderful. Wasn't sure of the new look for Lazar. It's Fiddler. It may have a few changes but you can't "reimagine" Fiddler. It's locked in. And it's a great show, one of the best.
