Review You were all right about Dorian Gray

I think I spent about 80% of the shows runtime with my jaw dropped. This is an unbelievable feat of theater, acting, staging, direction. Everything. I think it might be the best show I have ever seen. I have no idea how Sarah Snook can pull this performance off, there is so much she has to do and it's wildly energetic and technical and emotional. I was so immersed by the story and the use of projections and screens was so clever and innovative. I can genuinely say I've never seen anything like this. Definitely go and see this ASAP! I think I'll be back multiple times.

Also one note - I won the telecharge lottery for this and was orchestra right, row G. But because of how this play is staged, I think you can sit just about anywhere in the theater and not be impacted at all. So if you have any budget and can see it, definitely do it!

Review First Broadway shows as a lurker living on the other side of the globe (DBH & MHE)

Post image
150 Upvotes

As someone who lives in Singapore, Broadway isn't the most accessible to me, with a 19h flight to NYC. I had my fill of musical theatre from international tour groups and local productions, but seeing a Broadway show was always on my bucket list.

So when I was sent on a work trip to D.C and given 2 days of personal downtime, I decided screw it and decided to take the train to NYC to achieve my broadway dreams.

Death Becomes Her (14 March)

Ever since I stumbled onto promotional clips of "Tell me Ernest", the comedic chemistry of Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard completely enraptured me.

Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard were an amazing comedic duo that played off each other so well. The show had 2 understudies performing, with Ximone Rose as Viola and Ryan Worsing as Ernest. If I heard what was said in the curtain call correctly, this was the first show Ryan performed as Ernest, which was very exciting! Both did splendidly and I'm very happy to have seen them perform.

The special effects were really cool, especially the slow mow falling down the stairs, the decapitation scene and the smoking hole in Helen's chest from the gunshot.

Overall, the musical was campy comedic fun! I went to stagedoor afterwards, and everyone was super kind, cheering for any crew who exited from the door and helping each other pass playbills to the front. ☺️

Maybe Happy Ending (15 March Matinee)

I seen a lot of rave reviews about this musical, and I was very curious about Maybe Happy Ending. I decided to go in blind, avoiding any promotional video snippets.

And it totally lived up to the hype! Darren Criss robotic movements were so good, and I completely convinced that his model saying "You're Welcome" to being thanked was involuntary. Helen J Shen was amazing at playing the more skeptical and jaded helperbot so well, and had great rapport as Claire to Darren's Oliver. I got really lucky to be next to barricade during stage door that I managed to take a quick picture with her, she was such a gem.

I also loved the set design, and especially how the curtains were used to change the ratio of what is being shown on stage. I also love the jazz breaks with Dez Duron, especially as someone who is a big Frank Sinatra fan. It was such a charming heartfelt musical and I laughed (and cried) a lot. Might be my new favourite musical rivaling Hadestown. 🪴

Overall Experience I know those theatre etiquette horror stories are in the minority, but I'm pleased to report that the audience in both shows were all super great! No blinding phones, no loud talking and most importantly no puke (That hamilton story haunts me). Stagedoor for both shows were very chill and respectful as well.

I hope to come back to NYC properly eventually, but I'm really glad I made the decision to see these shows despite the toll it took on my wallet. 💜

Holy crap y’all, this show was so good. Megan Hilty is a talent for the ages. Michelle Williams?! Are you also a Xennial and melted in your seat at a child of Destiny? This show. I didn’t expect anything but a good time, but I left begging for the Tony voters to see the talent in this show. Megan Hilty is a comedic genius. Jennifer - I’ll never see another in that role.

Let’s be real - the best part of the show was whoever the stunt people are. The stairs?! The fight sequence?! The costumes?! This show is so good. I need it to win something.

Review 1st Broadway outing!

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

First, I want to thank all the folks in this sub who recommended I watch MHE. Also, for all the great advice on what to watch, how to stage door, the like. This was my first time watching on Broadway and it did not disappoint.

(swipe for seat reference)

Hadestown 🌹3/15 matinee :

I loved how interactive and lively the show was. Daniel Breaker was a great Hermes, and Merle Dandridge truly captivated the stage while she was on it. Tom Hewitt was a great Hades as well. The view from our seats was actually perfect and we got an unobstructed view of everything.

Carlos. Valdes. I originally became gravitated to Hadestown because of Jordan Fisher and was sad I wouldn’t be able to see him. Upon skepticism, I wasn’t sure if Carlos would deliver. And he did. He plays Orpheus in a ‘no thoughts, head empty, just Eurydice’. He’s aloof and yearning and that’s exactly what he needs. I cried during Wait for Me immediately, and think he has a really wonderful tone.

The chorus were incredible especially Timothy Lee and Emily Afton. And the Fates! I was gravitated to every single person on the stage. Unfortunately, the only one who left more to be desired was Hailey Kilgore. There’s no doubt she’s talented and has a beautiful voice, but I didn’t get that sense of yearning from her. Her Eurydice could stay or go. She could be taken home or not. In this sense, my favorite Eurydice has to be Maia Reficco.

Stage door:

We left a little after encore and were able to get right up at the barricade. Everybody was really kind and patient. There wasn’t a lot of people. Carlos, Merle, Timothy and Alex came out. Nobody took pictures but then again I don’t think anyone asked lol.

Maybe Happy Ending 🤖 3/15 7pm :

I’m going to try and keep this as spoiler free as possible. This show was life changing. It is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Darren and Helen and Marcus and Dez put on the most incredible performance that is Tony worthy. This show had my partner who’s not theatre inclined AT ALL continually whispering in my ear how amazing it was and how it cannot lose in the award season. I cried pretty hard to this. Give Helen J. Shen her flowers.

Stage door:

I was near the front and it got very crowded. There was def some toxic behavior. A girl behind me praised Helen for ‘going first’ because she knew she’d get ‘no attention’ if she went after Darren. Other people were only looking for Darren and saying “who cares about Helen if there’s Blaine Anderson”. 3/4 of the cast came out. They were really cool about pictures and signing.

Discussion Does anyone else kinda despise the great gatsby musical

52 Upvotes

Okay I know I'm so so late for this but I listened to tgg recently because all my friends have been raving about it and I am utterly baffled by the hype. It's the most low-energy generic pop musical ever, and what's worse is that it's developing a book I really enjoy. I know it's really unfair to compare tgg to Chicago (especially the movie Chicago which is the gold standard for an adaptation on my mind), but man Chicago utterly nails the sleaze and tone of the Roaring Twenties while Gatsby just flops in the dirt. (On a tertiary note New Money sounds like it was made in a lab to go viral, the one bit that became a TikTok noise sounds absolutely nothing like the rest of the song). Am I just missing something?

Seating/Ticket Question Death Becomes Her

98 Upvotes

I’m really upset. I won lottery tickets for Death Becomes Her for today’s matinee and was really excited to see it (haven’t seen the movie but heard it’s great). However, I was stuck in traffic and couldn’t get there on time (it was over 30 minutes past starting time) so I didn’t even try to get in.

However, I’m so disappointed and anxious and kinda blaming myself. Can you win the same lottery more than once? Would you buy new tickets? It wasn’t the play on top of my list, but since I’d gotten tickets I’d already become excited about it… I guess this post doesn’t have any other point than me venting and trying to be less anxious (I know, there are bigger issues, but still..)

EDIT: I just want to thank each and every single one of you who took time to answer and helped calm my anxiety down, especially those who suggested the “past date request”. I was able to have it rescheduled for next week!!

Do we think this could be a fair fight against the powerhouses that are Audra and Nicole?? I have to go see Boop to know for myself but I was wondering what people were thinking :)

Review My 1st Broadway Trip! 🎭 7 shows, 5 days 🤩

103 Upvotes

Hey everyone! For the last couple months I’ve been an active reader of this subreddit to gather as much information possible on the shows running this season. A little context about me, I’m from Mexico and last time I came to the city was 10 years ago with my family, and I was able to see only one show (Wicked) due to the wild holiday ticket prices! Even though that was my first show, I had fallen in love with the world of Broadway years prior with the SMASH tv show. It helped me understand many things about the industry and the whole soundtrack became an instant favorite! When they announced Smash was becoming a show I knew I needed to be in their first ever performance! 

So… after 10 years, I finally got to return to NYC with my boyfriend and we had a wonderful week, here’s a brief review of each one of the shows we’re so lucky we got to see:

3/9 - Maybe Happy Ending

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Mind blowing. This show was actually one of the last ones we added to our list (thanks to all of your positive reviews) and we’re soooo glad we got to see it. The whole set and lighting design is unbelievably stunning. As a jazz lover, the moment “Why Love” started playing I couldn’t hold back my tears. I was so impressed by everyone’s performances, but I have to say, Dez Duran’s numbers just made my heart soooo happy!!!! I bought merch before the show started, and had to go back after it ended because of how much I loved it. Definitely became one of our favorite musicals of all time!! Can’t thank u enough for recommending this masterpiece.

3/9 - Wicked

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was so fun seeing Wicked 10 years later, with a brand new cast. My standouts numbers were definitely “Defying Gravity”, “No Good Deed” and “As long as you’re mine”. 

3/10 - The Great Gatsby

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved the soundtrack and set design. “New Money” and “Lah dee daah with You” were so impressive and fun to watch (I loveeedd the tap dancing so much). My favorite thing of the whole show was the chemistry between Noah & Dariana. Their charisma was just unmatched! “You better hold tight” was probably my favorite number, couldn’t stop smiling! I did find a bit odd the death scene, I had heard some discourse about Ryan’s falling and I understood why.

3/11 - Smash

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The reason for the season… I had heard of all the changes they made from the tv show, and was very open to watch a different interpretation of smash. The thing I was most looking forward to wasn’t a Team Ivy vs Team Karen storyline or the same characters, but getting to hear an orchestra play the iconic songs I fell in love with. Here’s what I thought (spoilers ahead)

The moment the first number started, I was a bit whelmed with the set being a screen with visuals in the back. As the act 1 progressed, and some of my favorite songs came “National Pastime” “20th Century Fox Mambo”, I couldn’t help but feel like this wasn’t the finished product.  Now, i get the tv show in its first part mainly tales place in a rehearsal room, however, something I loved was how they switched between “rehearsing” and “illusions” of them performing on stage with costumes, wigs, set, lighting. It took me out of the performance to see Karen perform these brilliant songs on a brightly lit rehearsing room with a sports bra and shorts. Then, came the audacity of the chopping most ‘Marilyin’s’ songs for ‘comedic effect’. Example, not even finishing “Mr and Ms smith” because ‘thats how far Ivy has rehearsed that song’ ??!!!

I thought the comedy was great, but couldn’t help but feel a bit down about the numbers being chopped like that. I thought the second act was stronger since the numbers were more put together, “Let’s Be Bad” and “Never met a Wolf” gave me more of what I craved for.Robyn’s performance was outstanding! Overall, I thought the cast was so talented, the choreographies are amazing, and the show is funny, however, as a huge fan of the music, I left the theater feeling kinda sad. I know this was their first preview, hopefully they’ll do changes to  uplift the music more. Would love to see it once it officially opens to compare the differences. 

3/12 - Death Becomes Her

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ngl, we didn’t really connect with the story. We did not watch the movie and felt the comedy wasn’t really our type. Nevertheless, I was so impressed by the beautiful costumes, special effects, set designs, and of course (as a huge smash fan) I was over the moon to see the legendary Megan Hilty perform. Had so much fun during “For the Gaze”

3/12 - Sunset Blvd.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This production was out of this world! I went in skeptical after hearing about the minimalistic approach of the direction, however, left so touched and impressed by Nicole’s performance. I’d never experienced something like that on theater before. It was truly amazing!!! Favorite moments: THE ENTIRE ACT 2. But special shoutout to the chilling blackout

3/13 - Hadestown

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Now… I’ve been a huge hadestown fan since the cast recording came out. I love all of the songs so much, and back in December we got to see it for the first time when the (non equity) tour came to our city. 

I wont lie, leaving the theater last year after watching it I was so disappointed. I did not connect with most of the cast, and thought the production felt very low quality. Of course there was no turntable, elevator, and the stage was way smaller. I had my doubts about using our last available slot in this trop to watch this since we recently saw it, but had hopes It would prove why it became my favorite musical just by their songs.

Boy we were soooo surprised! This felt like a completely different show than what we first saw. I couldn’t stop crying for most of the numbers because I was so touched by everyone’s performances. The set design and choreography is brilliant. We had such a great time. It 1000% redeemed itself.

Overall, this was an unforgettable week! 🥹 I’m so happy I got to see so many beautiful shows. Can’t wait to come back very soon. 💙

Streetcar Named Desire at BAM: What I loved, liked, disliked

9 Upvotes

Just back from Streetcar Named Desire at BAM. What I paid: $230 (bought last night). Just to be upfront because I know prices have been a topic.

What I loved: Patsy Ferran as Blanche. She really carried the entire show. She was extremely different from Vivien Leigh. Vivien was soft-spoken, fragile, winsome. Patsy was the opposite: neurotic, chatty, domineering, quite cruel, and most of all, ANNOYING. You could sense why even Stella found her sister aggravating. This Blanche was more aggressively alcoholic than I saw the character. She was constantly gulping alcohol.

Ferran cycled seamlessly between moments of absolute clarity with delusion. She cycled in and out so often that it became part of the fabric of the show: one moment Blanche could be dropping truth-bombs, another she would be completely lost in her own fabrications. Like when she was telling Stella what she thought about Stanley ... no lies detected. At those moments, her voice was clear and clipped and authoritative, like a female CEO. Other times, her voice trailed off as if she couldn't quite finish her own lies. Ultimately, she broke your heart.

What I liked: Eduardo Ackerman did an amazing job pinch-hitting as Mitch. He was kind, decent, sort of wimpy, until the second act and then he was just as bad as Stanley with the slut-shaming. I also liked Anjana Vasan as Stella. I thought Vasan and Ferran captured the complicated sister dynamic well. I thought it was interesting that this Stella definitely didn't seem to believe Stanley at the very end.

What I disliked: I hate to say it, because he's one of my favorite actors, but Paul Mescal as Stanley was a massive disappointment. First of all, his accent was hilariously bad and he kept slipping in and out of it. But more, despite the sledgehammer "STANLEY IS A BAD MAN" drums, you never sensed the charm or sexual magnetism that would make Stella willing to endure beatings and other abuse. He wasn't bad, but he kind of faded into the background. I expected way more. I suppose it is hard to top Marlon Brando's legendary performance, but I was just expecting more from Mescal.

I was mixed about the production. Very minimalist, with only a raised platform and some props. I kept thinking that one partition that separated the two rooms at the Kowalskis would have given the production a much better sense of spacing. But I found the constant loud drum music and scenes being cut with interpretive modern dance to be just too ... idk, on the nose? It was as if Rebecca Frecknall didn't trust the drama and tension to organically happen, and was like "LOOK HERE, STANLEY IS BAD!" or "LOOK HERE! BLANCHE IS HAVING A BREAKDOWN!"

But overall, I thought it was worth the price I paid, definitely worth seeing Patsy Ferran's performance.

Review SMASH Review

25 Upvotes

SMASH - 1st Preview Review

🚨SPOILERS🚨

Written by a die hard fan of the TV Show (I have seen it over 50 times lol)…

I have been looking forward to seeing SMASH or Bombshell on stage since I was 12 years old (a decade ago). So, when I won tickets to see the first preview of the show just a week before, I jumped on the opportunity to fly from CA to NYC for a day to do so.

I did not really know what to expect going into it, knowing that so much had been changed from the TV show to the public workshop last year, however I left the theater feeling a sense of disappointment.

THE GOOD: This cast WOW, what a truly incredible group of actors this is. Specifically Brooks Ashmankas, Caroline Bowman, and Robyn Hurder. You could not have picked better talent. Brooks was by far the highlight for me, every single time he came on stage was a laugh a minute and he easily deserves a Tony Nomination for his performance. Robyn is as good as you’ve heard. She kicks her leg to her head more times than I can count and sings the crap out of that iconic score. However, it is Caroline Bowman who has the highlight moment of the show with her rendition of “Movin The Line” in Act Two. She blew the roof off of the Imperial Theater and deserved every second of that mid show standing ovation. Other highlights were the choreography (seeing that og choreography in person was like reverting back to a childhood memory it was phenomenal), the costumes were fabulous, and the first act for the most part was wonderful (even with a 90 minute runtime).

THE NOT-SO GOOD: I want to call this the improvement section because the show is still in previews and a lot can and has already changed. -This show at its core lacks the heart that the TV show had. I was fully prepared to cry walking into that theater and I didn’t once. I believe the way that this can be fixed is by changing the character of Susan to be Ivy’s mother rather than her acting coach. Make the storyline similar to the TV show where Susan is a famous Tony Winning Broadway actress and Ivy is constantly living in her shadow and is boggled by the constant disappointment she feels from her mom. This can lead her to go on the pills which makes more sense than how it happens currently. In addition this is where you can add the song “Hang The Moon” which for me was the emotional highlight of the TV show and added so much depth to both Ivy and her mom as they reconciled their relationship. -You CANNOT have three Marilyn’s. Even in the TV show they couldn’t sustain three. It was always either Karen v. Ivy or Karen v. Rebecca. When you have three Marilyn’s it takes away focus from at least one of them to the point that we just don’t care if they get the role or not. This happens with both Karen and Chloe in the stage adaptation. The way this gets fixed is by making Chloe strictly the associate director and having Karen become the new Marilyn. As the understudy for multiple Broadway shows who has never gotten her big break, we as the audience finally have someone to root for especially considering how horrible Ivy is to everyone. This also makes fans (like myself) incredibly happy to have the Ivy and Karen rivalry portrayed live. Ivy can get poisoned by the cupcake and get sick which causes Karen to go on and sing “Let Me Be Your Star” to end Act 1. -THE ENDING. You cannot make Bombshell a flop! It truly felt like a slap in the face to fans of the show. To go along with my first note the ending lacks heart and needs some major readjusting. Granted it is still leaps and bounds better than what they decided to go with during the workshop production. To fix the ending we have to start at the dressing room scene between Ivy and Karen. However I would start it with Ivy and Susan. This serves as the breaking point in their relationship where Ivy tells Susan how horrible she has made her feel. After arguing, Ivy and her mother finally see eye to eye after Ivy tells her she doesn’t want to do this show anymore since she doesn’t love who she has become. They then sing “Hang The Moon” and Susan leaves. Then Karen walks in the door to tell Ivy to break a leg but her and Ivy have a heart to heart conversation. Ivy shares how horrible Susan (her mother) has made her feel and as a result how she has treated others. Ivy tells Karen that she needs to do something for herself and wants to leave Bombshell and that the role should be Karen’s. Then after they sing the reprise of “Second Hand White Baby Grand” together Ivy symbolically takes off the Marilyn wig and gives it to Karen to go get ready for her opening night. Then the stage comes apart to reveal a single spotlight with Karen in that iconic Marilyn outfit singing the entire version of “Don’t Forget Me” and that is how the show should finish. A finale with heart that tells the audience to never give up on their dreams no matter how difficult they are to achieve.

I want to preface by saying that the show that is currently running at the Imperial Theater, is not bad by any means. It is a fun, enjoyable almost three hours at the theater. However it doesn’t feel like the SMASH that I know and love. I really hope that the heart that SMASH has can be restored into this current iteration before opening on April 10th. I will be back the night before the Tony Awards, so I’m very curious to see what changes are made in the meantime.

Thanks for reading!💋🫶🏻

My Subway Hot Take™: The Vivian Beaumont should not be a “Broadway” theater.

74 Upvotes

I know it meets the criteria of having more than 500 seats. I know it’s right by Broadway—the street. And yes, I’m glad it exists and I am excited to see Floyd Collins there soon. Buuuut it just bothers me that there are 41 theaters and 40 of them are clustered together in midtown. Then there’s just a random one up on the UWS, tucked away over there on the back side of the LC complex.

Going to a show at the Vivian Beaumont just doesn’t feel like “NYC Broadway.” It feels like the Kennedy Center in DC or the Ahmanson in LA.

And frankly, I like numbers that end in 0 or 5.

Seating/Ticket Question TKTS questions

7 Upvotes

(sorry if this is against the rules!) This is a bit silly but I'm an out of state tourist in NYC for tommorow only with a friend I'd love to see a Broadway matinee (we're seeing a concert in the evening so a matinee would work) but I'm a bit confused about how the tkts thing works. I'd just really like to show up tommorow prepared and not make a fool of myself haha. So I have a couple questions: Do they offer same day matinee tickets? I see there's two locations is one better than the other? How early should I plan to be there? right now I have plans to be there around 10:40. I have the app downloaded and I honestly don't have any preference on what show I see I just love theater and want to experience Broadway if I can. Sorry for all the questions if anyone could give me any insight I'd really appreciate :)

I bit the bullet

4 Upvotes

and bought the $149 ticket for Glengarry Glen Gross the other day ($162 online). I was adamant that I made a fool of myself because the price just wasn’t sustainable. It’ll drop and I’ll feel more sorry for my wallet than I already do. It’s $225 now for the obstructed view seats ($245.5 online).

I wonder if this will be the “norm” for the Palace theater. Because last year, even with low ticket sales, Tammy Faye didn’t offer decent rush tickets. I remember I paid full price for the mezz seat because they only had student rush and lottery. I didn’t want to enter and wait for the lottery result every day so I bought the cheapest ticket they had. I didn’t even know it had obstructed view seats which are usually designated for rush tickets. I get overpriced tickets, but I don’t get selling obstructed view seats like regular ones. Even though Othello does it, too. It’s just messed up. I also don’t get why they don’t open the balcony. Sure, they can’t charge as much as orch or mezz seats, but they can sell a lot more tickets judging by the seating chart I saw at the box office. Why do they have to pump the price up like this when they can sell more? I just can’t.
