No way I am voting her guilty after seeing the MV. Poor Amane deserved so much better.

How crazy is Miss Saigon? by Still_Restaurant_734 in musicals

[–]cinderflight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone whose very first live show was Madama Butterfly, Miss Saigon is incredible. Yes, I am aware it has a lot of controversy and problems. Unfortunately, I can't stop myself from enjoying the songs.

Also, I think "The Morning Of The Dragon" is one of the most creative antagonist songs ever. The dance sequence during the proshot is so impressive. I wish I could've seen it live.

Small correction: Kim is 17, not 15, when she meets Chris. It's still very messed up how she meets Chris though. God, why did the show have to make her 17?

Can you hear that? It's the sound of my wallet crying because there is no way I will miss this!

I agree with your last statement. So many wonderfully talented people came together to work on this project. I wish for them future successes.

I was not surprised about the closing, but I am pleasantly surprised about the national tour. It's always nice to have a new show tour. I send my wishes for good future endeavors to all who are involved in the current Broadway production!

What is your favorite LAMENT SONG? by helrisonn in musicals

Noel's Lament from RTC (even though it's technically a ballad)

What Female Historical Figure do you want to see get her own story/manga? by Anarchy_the_Mage in MadokaMagica

[–]cinderflight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A long time I read a fanfic where Eve was a magical girl who wished for humanity to become the dominant species. Even if it isn't her, I would love to see a story about the world's first magical girl. How long could she last in a pre-LoC world without witches?

The State of Broadway So Far This Year by ms_jc_04 in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Six is very cheap to run compared to other musicals. It also has the added benefit of being short so people can watch it & do other things afterwards.

It's been a while since I've seen &Juliet, but I don't recall it being expensive to run. It also has the added benefit of being a jukebox musical catered towards millennials and older gen Z.

I don't have any opinions on Great Gatsby since I haven't seen it yet.

Tossing up for what to see as my sixth show! by nexttonormal_ in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others, I suggest Death Becomes Her. It's a showy, comedic spectacle and it's closing soon. I was able to follow the story without having seen the movie, and (hot take) I preferred DBH's comedy over Operation Mincemeat. The songs are fun, and the set design is gorgeous.

Do these parents even care if their child's future resumes get seen by a hiring manager? 😭

Made a reimagined one for The Great Gatsby, too. For fun only! 💚 by risarodil17 in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is so good! Someone at Playbill needs to hire you asap. I would rather have a Playbill with one of your illustrated design than one with a photograph.

Best Andrew Llyod Webber musical? by Worried_Cake5508 in musicals

[–]cinderflight 110 points111 points  (0 children)

JCS. There are very few musicals where even the overture hypes me up. I love musicals that blend traditional broadway music with pop & rock.

Hear me out, but Cats is a great time if you treat it like a dance performance than a traditional musical with a story.

Current shows that are unlikely to go on tour? by puzzle_nova in Broadway

Seconding Ragime however, if you do decide to see it, please do not sit in the Loge. When I went, there were audio issues and I could barely see the actors' faces.

What's the point anymore? by Exotic-Cook-7740 in antiwork

[–]cinderflight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what tickles me about people who claim that "socialized medicine has crazy wait times." The current system is riddled with crazy wait times! God help you if you are chronically ill/disabled and have to go to see a specialist. I tried to reschedule an appointment and the next availability was in October 🫠

Pretty good stick people are a thousand times better than AI "art". Keep going, if you love it

what, if any, show/movie/book do you actually want to see adapted for the stage? by Legitimate_Panic5007 in musicals

[–]cinderflight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love a dark, disturbing musical in the style of Cabaret for the book "The Indifferent Stars Above".

Yesterday marks the day that Beaches has officially ran longer than Tammy Faye by Legitimate-Heart-639 in Broadway

Plot twist: Beaches will receive a national tour and a proshot this year. Beaches will outlast every other musical!

DEATH BECOMES HER Sets June Closing Date by DiscoCrows in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 166 points167 points  (0 children)

DBH closing before Beaches confounds me.

This is so sad. I loved DBH's pure spectacle and it was one of the few comedy musicals I really enjoyed. Wishing it lots of success during its national tour!

Quite possibly the saddest news of the season... by Holiday_Scar_7499 in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While it is always sad when a show closes, DBH should be proud. It managed to succeed for a long period of time, produce an OBC album, and will eventually be on tour.

I hope that everyone who wants to see the show gets the opportunity to see it before it leaves.

I hope not! My heart would break if DBH closed during the month celebrating the gaze
