Saw this this past weekend and couldn’t find much, if anything, to like about it. It felt extremely amateurish – both the written show (book and score) and the production itself. The transitions in and out of the songs were particularly awkward.

Did anyone else have issues with the sound mixing? The sound of the band was so forward and drowning out the singing that I genuinely think I only caught about 25% of the lyrics. During the first song I leaned over to the person I w

For me, the thing that I find most frustrating about this ad is not the cherry-picking of quotes, but the fact that the Brantley quote is from a production where the show was SIGNIFICANTLY different. To me, it’s beyond dishonest to attribute the Brantley review to what the current production is, because it really feels like a significantly different show. Not that the Williamstown production was perfect, but I fully believe that if that version of the show was the one currently playing

Great thoughts and I will especially echo: “Go back to basics to focus the show on the emotional core of what could be there.”

I consider the Williamstown production one of my favorite musicals I’ve ever seen. The current Broadway iteration feels like an empty shell of its former self. It pains me to know what this show could have been (and was) - it truly felt special and it's so disappointing that Broadway audiences aren't getting to experience the things I

For me, "Burn It Up" was the moment when we see Tamara's path move onto the trajectory she is on for the rest of the show. It's her realization moment when we see her drive and will to survive merge with her passion for painting. We see her make sacrifices for her (and her husband's) survival before this - "Burn It Up" felt like such a revelatory moment for her that she can fulfill a joyful passion while still ensuring her survival. For me, it felt lik

As a huge fan of the show when I saw it at Williamstown, I can’t help but feel like the (significant!) changes they have made, unfortunately, have done the show a disservice. It feels like they went in the wrong direction – making the characters broader and not as nuanced, making things less clear (both plot-wise and motivations/feelings of characters), and seeming to be concerned with adding in more comedic moments.

Many beautiful songs that felt very necessary for the sto

I saw this a couple of weeks ago and really, really enjoyed it. I’m honestly surprised by so many negative reviews on here. Is it a perfect show? No – but, the things I liked more than outweighed the things I didn’t and I was entertained the whole time.

There are some truly beautiful and moving moments in the show (“Easy,” being a standout for me) and, overall, I really enjoyed the score. I thought the puppets were great. I loved getting to just see little

I saw this Saturday afternoon – luckily didn’t notice any inappropriate audience behavior and didn’t have temperature issues (up in the mezz). I also didn’t notice anyone walk out and, to be honest, am a little confused what part of this show is making people leave?

I enjoyed this as a whole piece, but didn’t necessarily enjoy the full experience of watching it. I was moved at the end, but had many moments throughout where I had a hard time feeling engaged

I saw this on Friday and really, really loved it. It was a bit of a slow burn for me – although I enjoyed the whole thing, I wasn’t full IN it until maybe half way through. But once I was in it, I was all in.

There’s certainly room for improvement, but as a whole I found the story very interesting and thought the score was gorgeous (a song or two could be cut, but even those I didn’t find necessary I enjoyed).

I also have to mention Ben Levi Ross –

Interesting article - I would also add that so many shows opening at once do make audiences have to pick and choose more, depending on the amount of spending money they have. With a whole bunch of shows opening at one time, even if I'd like to go and see the majority of them, with ticket prices as they are, it's impossible for me to financially attend all that I wish to in such a close time frame to each other.

If openings were more staggered throughout the year, my budget woul

No one. Everyone was automatically refunded whether or not they stayed.

I hope the above is not the case. I had tickets for tonight, as well, and we were told we could either stay, get a refund, or get post-dated tickets for another day. We opted to get our tickets switched to another day and were given a card with the customer service number to call (which was closed tonight, so I will call tomorrow). I had gotten my tickets today at a cheaper price (the onl
