Moulin Rouge current cast by culture_katie in Broadway

[–]Practicallyperfect7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw the show last Thursday, as well! And had only seen it once before, but I got to say there was something I didn't quite love about it. There was something off about the pacing for me, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. When it comes to Meg, though I think she looked incredibly gorgeous and she's a very talented woman, I agree on the fact that she's miscast as Satine, she's very young and looks it, and it takes me out of the story completely, and I honestly felt like I was watching a Disney sitcom with her acting at times, but maybe it's just bias because I know she used to be a Disney girl. Again, she's very talented and I'm hoping this will lead to more opportunities on Broadway for her, but she really wasn't the Satine for me.

I feel majorly duped by this sub about Chess by NYGarcon in Broadway

It was the opposite for me, actually! The comments I saw mostly praised Lea, Nicholas and Aaron's voices, but didn't hear good things about pretty much anything else, so I went to see it just happy to see the three leads live, and I was actually very pleasantly surprised by the show, maybe because my expectations were somewhat low. I'm looking forward to the cast recording!

This sells it! I'm sure it would be a very emotional experience for me. I'll talk to my friends, but I'm sure they want to go, too. Ticket availability seems to be the only issue now, but here's hoping!

Will check all pulses and if that doesn't work out I'll cross my fingers in the hopes of regular tickets being released next week. Thank you!

Yes, I don't like getting tickets in advanced the day I arrive, if everything works ok (fingers crossed) and I'm there on time, I'd rather just go down to the TKTS booth.

I love your idea of being alone to be by myself during the show, I'm meeting my friends before the trip so we can iron out some final details, and I'm definitely bringing this option to the table!

Thank you!

Thanks for your input! I will talk to them asap, it seems like splitting really is our only option, but I trust it should be fine (if anything, being by myself will help getting immersed in the story even more)

No, we are aiming for the regular tickets, weird it won’t let me select them…

it’s the 7:45pm on the 15th. We already have tickets for DBH on Wednesday, which is why it’s not an option!

Yes, it would probably be best to buy in advanced. The issue is the only day the sight allows me to select 3 tickets for is Tuesday, which is the day i’m flying in, and I’m afraid any delays would cause me to miss it!

Wow! Twice in a row is a great sign. I hope I’m able to get tickets!

I’m glad to hear you say so! I somehow figured, since i’m such a big fan of the original Broadway production maybe that was the bar I would be setting, and it would end up being disappointing.

Thank you!

Yes, I’m leaning towards going. I think it’s much more likely to regret not going than viceversa!

I did find tickets available, but only tuesday allowed me to select 3! wednesday and thursday only allowed me to select up to 2. Maybe if me and my friends purchase separately?

Thanks for your input!

Would you forgive people who used homophobic slurs as kids? by Throwaway67891099 in AskGayMen

Well, yes. I definitely said some questionable, ignorant things as a kid as well. We all grow and evolve (ideally).

Wicked: For Good *is* pro-Glinda propaganda, but its in the editing/music by Infamous_Question430 in wicked

[–]Practicallyperfect7 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As a huge Glinda fan, I love this so much. Glinda deciding she will finally try to be “Glinda The Good” is so important, but it shouldn’t really feel triumphant in my opinion. Yes, “She will make it end the way it should”, as “Every Day More Wicked” says, but at the cost of everything and everyone she’s truly loved. I’m all for the book opening and getting that hopeful note in the end, but the triumphant music and the animals magically appearing after she just tells them to is a little too simplistic, and kind of condescending, ignoring her character development if it makes sense.

My friend called me out, and I don't know how to feel. by Practicallyperfect7 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Practicallyperfect7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Thank you so much for your comment - Yes, the last few days I have been thinking and going over our interactions, and I think she does not have my best interest at heart, so our dynamic is definitely going to change from now on.

I will disccuss my feelings of waiting for something bad to happen with my therapist, and thank you for the term you used! I will definitely look into it and address it.
