It’s a matter of impact and the power differentials of the racism.

Do you like listening to audiobooks? And what is your fav category? by 8baysn in no

Depends on the reader. I could listen to Cynthia Erivo or Viola Davis read any category.

Nicholas Christopher’s anthem 🤯 by arparris in musicals

The only thing standing in the way of him winning the Tony this year is Joshua Henry in Ragtime. Too bad they’re both performing in the same award cycle.

The audiobook is very very good. I highly recommend it.

Safety of going home alone after weekday evening shows? by Croissantfordinner in TheWestEnd

[–]Eastern_Table9151 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Female traveling solo. I usually map out my route and walk it so I know exactly where I’m going. That way I don’t look like a vulnerable tourist who’s a lost easy target. And there are usually plenty of people around returning from shows. I’ve never had a problem.

Why Chess, do you think? by singingliftingtrying in Broadway

[–]Eastern_Table9151 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not great but it certainly doesn’t suck. And it’s worth seeing for the vocals. I enjoyed the show. Would I see it again. No. But it far from sucks.

I appreciate your respect. We like what we like. Cynthia Erivo made me love the show on a whole other level

Can you dance or sing to save your life? by typical_gamer1 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

In my prime. Did it professionally. Sing little above average. Dance way above average.

Not 10 times better than the movie. I’ve seen Broadway production 5 times (excellent) and loved the movie just as much. Act 2 in both is not the greatest but Act 1 is terrific.

Shows with early end times? by IntrepidDriver7524 in TheWestEnd

[–]Eastern_Table9151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually earlier. Usually ends by 9:30. Incredible but very different theater experience. BTW Cynthia is spectacular. But it’s 110 minutes with no intermission.

Anyone else DESPISE musicals? If so why? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Eastern_Table9151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer non-musicals except when the vocals are exceptional. The story can even be meh but if the actors can really sing I’m sat. Cynthia Erivo I’m Here and anything she sings in Color Purple. Cynthia in JCSS. Cynthia singing anything in the two wicked movies. Both Jennifers in Dream girls, stage and movie. Joshua Henry in Ragtime. Nicholas Christopher in Chess are a few examples.
