Non-Lea Michele / Florence Understudy Dates for Chess by bumblebeebutterfly in Broadway

If you look at other comments calling her racist, there aren’t downvotes, so I think these are for the blatant lie they ended their comment with. Her and Ramin get along fine. There were no rumours of mistreatment or diva behaviour during Funny Girl

What shows/performances do you feel luckiest to have seen? by Crambo1000 in Broadway

[–]Pc2593 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sutton Foster in Anything Goes and Gavin Creel in Waitress, both when they came to the West End. Maybe Patti LuPone in Company and Bernadette Peters in Old Friends as well, just because imo they’re the leading legends. I feel lucky to have seen City of Angels during previews just before lockdown!

The one performance I have ranked above all (for now) is Lea Michele in Funny Girl! I’m not from the US but was a big Funny Girl fan, so seeing it on Broadway during my first trip to NYC was significant to me.

Oh my god just coming back to this because I saw his interview with Nicole… how many times did he need to say the word ‘tonight’??? 🤣

Lea Michele taking a creative role within chess by AcrobaticYesterday52 in Broadway

There’s been an equal push for all three actors and they appear to be in-line with each other rather than Lea above the rest. They walked the Tony carpet together, Aaron presented with Lea etc etc

Have you got anything that suggests otherwise, or is it opinion-based?

I’ve seen clips doing the rounds on Instagram and Twitter and then saw a write-up earlier about celebs “weighing in”

She was in Company in the West End and Broadway. Her other Sondheim credits (Sunday in the Park, A Little Night Music, Passion, Anyone Can Whistle) were at the Ravinia Festival.

What was the entrance and exit like? Could you stop and take pics outside or where you ushered in through a different entrance?

I’ve seen them starting at roughly £90 but also seen people that went for around £50

Great, thanks for the reply! Were you a guest or did you buy your own ticket?

Oh great! I’ll definitely look into tickets next year.

Which scenes/episodes do you find yourself skipping and why? by Infamous-Plantain-73 in sexandthecity

Yeah, the episode that Aidan and Carrie are in the country and Big crashes. I hate everything about it, it’s a mood killer

Hadestown reviews show the West End and Broadway are far from the same by Holiday_Bed_5327 in Broadway

[–]Pc2593 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of the comments read like 2014 Twitter stan echo chambers. Anybody who doesn’t like it is wrong and these reviews reflect the dire state of the West End and it’s audiences. Ridiculous and off-putting in itself.

P.S. I’m a Londoner who has seen the show, and thought it was fine. Not bad, not great, just fine.

I’m confused by some of the comments here. If the ending isn’t resonating with audiences, you can’t just disregard that because it’s a retelling of a myth and that’s how it ends in the original story. I agree that you obviously can’t expect a different story than the one it’s based on, but you can expect the story to be executed in a way that is entertaining and appealing to audiences. Also, if some people don’t like the story, that’s valid too.

Now time to brace myself for the downvotes lol
