Awww....I love the score to Sunset. It's probably my favorite ALW score after Jesus Christ Superstar. Aspects of Love is great too, but the book is so horrible

Thought this was a bit disappointing. I haven't heard the 1994 Broadway revival recording since it's not on Spotify, but the London version of the same production is my go-to for this score, and it includes Michael Hayden's performance. The lush orchestrations of that one appeal to me more than the original ones here, and I prefer the grittier, less polished singing from Billy and Julie. It fits their characters more. It is fun to hear all of the things you never get to hear on tr

So this thread made me interested in the complete recording of Allegro previously mentioned, so I gave it a listen, or at least part of it a listen. It's not a show I knew anything about and had never heard any of the music. I got through Act 1 and...hmmmm...I can see why this one stayed obscure. Got all the way through the first act and still felt like I was waiting for an actual song. Anyone else have thoughts on the show or this particular recording? Is it a good representation of the

Have to admit I feel a little bit of validation over this news. I saw the original and to this day remember it as one of the best things I've ever seen on stage. This revival was so "meh." I didn't understand the point of reviving something and keeping the staging almost exactly the same, except less colorful, less dynamic, and with cheaper, minimalist design.

I saw this post and noticed that ten of you "liked" it. Normally I stay in the heart of Times Sq and never have any problems with drug addicts and/or homeless. But my sister just planned a last minute trip to New York next week and I have been talked into accompanying her and her family since they dont' know what they're doing and I could serve as a tour guide. The already booked their hotel which is on 8th Av in the mid 30's. My sister and her family are die-hard Tr

Chicago dumped their crappy mayor for a social justice lunatic and now Chicago is worse than ever, people have to reject social justice Socialist types , unless you actually like murder and chaos lol 😂 No matter how much white guilt you feel, and how much your heart bleeds- politicians like Maya Wiley and the Democrat Socialists (DSA)!endorsed people are dangerous period

Well, that just speaks about quality of the movies she was in...Honestly, boiled potato can act better than Dakota Johnson. Maybe she can be a special guest at Ben Platt's concert! 💡 

Thread highjack -- Lol, I know, right? To me, Dakota Johnson sucks the life out of everything she touches, but to each his own.
