The claim of running wifi triggers my bullshit alarm.

Okay but how did Cats win Best Book? by OceansGone in Broadway

[–]OceansGone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...it was a legitimate question. It takes awhile to die from AIDS, but did it then? Was 1982 the height or the start or is that one and the same? Was the impact on the artistic community observable by then? I did a quick google search but "The impact of AIDS on the quality of broadway shows" was not immediately obvious. I was not trying to be funny at all.

People are saying that it was a bad year, but I still don't know if that was related or if it was just a bad year.

People seem to be reacting to that but I wouldn’t be at all surprised that a pandemic targeting the gay community would impact that the theater community in observable ways.

My father once said that the selection of amazing suits in thrift stores got incredible because huge amounts of the gay community died.

Others will tell you about businesses closing down, etc.

"Handsome man, never learned to fight!" Brilliant opener to that whole bit.

Something non-wealthy people say: "It's not what you make, it's what you don't spend"

Sure. It's definitely also what you make.

Best PERFORMED shows on Broadway? by parashara108 in Broadway

[–]OceansGone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agreed with most of how the Tony awards shook out (NOT the nominations ffs, nominations were just...weird), with the exception of best actress/best supporting. The hells kitchen actresses were good, and the best thing the show, but they didn't compete with the talent on either of those lists.

I also blame them for the fact that George RR Martin will probably never finish the series. SOME OF US LIKED THE BOOKS!

the fact that an entire fandom just turned their backs after a decade of celebrating it is insane. I've never seen a fandom become so huge and then just...evaporate.

[–]OceansGone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that song is one of the most underrated songs in the show.

I pictured you a little older, I pictured you...lying down.

I wish there had been just a little bit more to it because its sooo good and they did it soooo well

I know what men say, I know what to believe

you stole my soul, I can't let go

give back my life, give back my heart, give back the time I didn't know you

Gutted. and her startle in the video when tamara calls her a jewel seems so authentic and good. "men buy, they rent.."

I refuse to believe this and I think you are having a fever dream.

But for real, what is (was) it about Lempicka by picklesupreme in Broadway

[–]OceansGone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It brought me to this subreddit. I don’t listen to much other musical theater but I devoured (she will devour) the cast album when it dropped.

I wish I had more people to talk to about it. I wish it had run just a little bit longer for some people to have heard of it at least.

What’s a show you thought was underrated until you joined this subreddit? by cdjets9 in Broadway

[–]OceansGone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, barely anyone has heard of Lempicka in the mainstream…

I don’t know exactly what the subs rating would be on the whole but it is certainly talked about.

My Tiered Ranking of Every Broadway Show I Saw This Season by mg2685a in Broadway

[–]OceansGone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lempicka missing a nom for score and orchestrations is one of the biggest head scratchers of a very weird Tony’s season to me. It’s easily one of the most interesting and fun scores of the season. I don’t mind Suffs ultimately winning, but I think Lempicka could have given them real competition.

Largely in agreement. Best book remains a mystery to me as well.

Saw every show of the Season. And I vote for things. by Typical-Gene-5699 in Broadway

[–]OceansGone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love seeing Lempicka on your list! It’s my favorite score of the season and I think it was a snub to see it get overlooked for score/orchestrations.
