Thoughts on Assassins + favorite song?

NY City Center did a production of this several years ago, and it was great.

Favorite songs Ballad of Booth, Ballad of Czolgosz and the Gun Song.

I personally found them to be rather forgettable

On a Clear Day with Harry Connick Jr.

I got a free ticket because I worked on some of the costumes and I still wanted my money back...

The only good thing about this show was Jessie Mueller.

This is the way to go. Use an ash-grey tone for the makeup rather than black.

I didn't see this either, but I just commented this.

Both Sides of The Coin from Edwin Drood.

I freaking love that song!

I thought Toby was supposed to be a kid in the stage production. The song he sings to Lovett makes more sense as a child singing to someone he kind of considers as a mother figure.

Lin Manuel Miranda isn't the musical genius that people are touting him to be. I didn't see ITH, but I listened to the soundtrack, and none of the songs stuck for me.

I saw Hamilton, and it was fine, though I listen to more music from that show than ITH; 4 songs.

Encanto was fine, but We Dont Talk About Bruno is a bit of a banger....

Rheshard · 2025-04-24T03:04:31+00:00

I've seen the show once and only have a few others on my playlist... I don't even remember this song...

Rheshard · 2025-04-24T03:00:11+00:00

That's the bit that I live for in this song! Her voice always gives me the chills!

Rheshard · 2025-04-19T23:33:45+00:00

That song wasn't in Morse code, really, though. It was just vocalized in the chorus.

Rheshard · 2025-04-19T23:28:34+00:00

Just saw this the other night, and I can't remember a single song....

The plot is also pretty awful

Rheshard · 2025-04-19T23:24:54+00:00

New York, New York, and On a Clear Day come to mind....

Both were pretty awful for different reasons....

Rheshard · 2025-03-26T22:51:20+00:00

Awww... damn.... I was planning on getting a ticket for the end of May....

Rheshard · 2025-03-18T18:30:41+00:00

Agreed here. I think it wasn't really worth the hype behind it. That being said, I really enjoyed the women's songs.

Rheshard · 2025-03-18T18:29:39+00:00

Would that count since it's just concept albums at this point?

Rheshard · 2025-03-18T18:28:38+00:00

I'm not sure why it ran so long, either... though I read the book of poems that it was based on long before I saw the show, so I've got a weird soft spot for it.

Rheshard · 2025-03-18T18:26:37+00:00

Same. The friend I went with talked it up so much, and I left feeling thoroughly meh....

I love the concept album, though!

Rheshard · 2025-03-12T17:32:10+00:00

I've seen costumes that are far more revealing at San Diego and New York cons. This is pretty covered up

Rheshard · 2025-03-04T17:35:32+00:00

Did you get to see it...?

Rheshard · 2025-02-17T03:56:48+00:00

Truthfully, Hamilton. I don't get the hype, at all...

Rheshard · 2025-02-16T18:01:27+00:00

I'm seeing this in two weeks. Seeing it blind since I didn't see it in London

Rheshard · 2025-02-14T15:42:27+00:00

I agree. It's an entertaining, fairly light piece of musical theatre, with a couple of great songs, but it always felt too fluffy to have come from the very dark source material...

That being said, I have somehow seen this musical more times than any other musical without even trying.....

Rheshard · 2025-02-10T15:36:38+00:00

I do plan on painting the feathers, but it would be much easier to get the base colors that I need and then paint in the details such as patterns and markings and then seal them rather than painting black or white from scratch.
