I love “All Shook Up” and, to this day, think it is the jukebox musical that works the best (song wise).
“9 to 5” is severely underrated (and, as a working woman in a similar environment to the office in the show, any critics who feel the show is outdated should visit my work).
I don’t find “Avenue Q” funny.
Every week when I see the high grosses for “Phantom,” “Mamma Mia!” and “Chicago”, there is a part of me that wishes these shows would close so that it would force tourists to step outside their boundaries and see different shows when they come to NYC. (No, I do not wish for shows to close as they are providing jobs for many, I just wish these weren’t the shows that tourists flock to – I am not a fan of them at all and find them full of fluff. And, yes, I do realize that just because these shows aren’t there doesn’t mean that tourists will pick other shows – they may just skip Broadway all together, so at least they are attending theatre.)
I thought Bernadette was an excellent Sally.
And, a strong opinion I hold that I am realizing I am more and more in the minority on…I think Billy Porter is the worst part of “Kinky Boots” and sincerely hope he doesn’t take home the Tony for this role.
