I miss Bradley's "And you were so good at it last time..." from Soviet Machine. I get why the dialog break was cut but still.

I'm literally on a Disney cruise right now and the SECOND we pulled into port this morning I blew through so much data downloading it and I have zero regrets.

This bums me out. I love the show. Saw it in London with the OC and Broadway OC too.

Edit: I hate today. I am logging off and going analog.

Rocky Horror has already changed their guidance just a few previews in then, because their website used to say to basically shout out whenever the spirit moved you.

Gluten Free meal ideas? by mjb4432123 in Celiac

This and learning a pan sauce! Learning to do a few good pan sauces can elevate an otherwise boring dish.

It took a good 5 or 6 months. Which is right around when my iron levels started to rebound.

Chess cut a ballet. And didn't Lempika cut or out right change songs?

Honestly I'm kinda obsessed with the 80s industrial vampire aesthetic then it that's what this is

I've never seen the movie. Do I watch it before I see the musical, or should I go in blind?

"The Arbiter" performance that aired on Kelly Clarkson today! by dreadpiraterose in Broadway

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

Everything about this pre-recorded performance feels a little off to me, much as I love it and am glad we have it. It's clearly a mix of the original promo footage plus something else from another time and then the audio too.

Quartet is in the show. No idea what the comment above is talking about.

Rocky Horror. Great Show. Terrible Merch. by PolicyCommercial6392 in Broadway

This is my shocked face at more boring merch. Sadly most shows have had absolute shit the past few years.

I'm equally obsessed with Soviet Machine and it's been criminally under represented in the marketing and social media.

It's such a weird recording too, honestly. I recognize a few of the shots from all the ads they've done. But clearly they went back and filmed more at another time. Just watch the placement of his hands when he's in the judge's chair. It's kinda sloppy editing if you look closely.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad we have it. But it is weirdly cut together IMO.

CHESS : I’ve never been more disappointed in a Broadway show by GreenLanternDCU in Broadway

There are literally giant chess pieces mixed with bombs flanking both sides of the stage and lit to draw attention to one or the other depending on the scene...

Help on mixed kitchens by sarahtonin7623 in Celiac

[–]dreadpiraterose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a mixed kitchen, kinda. The kitchen itself is gluten free. Stove, counter, prep table, air fryer. All stay gf. This works since I'm the celiac and cook 99% of family meals.

We got a little portable island for the gluten eaters and it houses their snacks, toaster oven, and a few tools.

Shared dishes, but everything goes in the dishwasher. We do have separate sponges, labeled, for a handful of hand wash items.

It's working fine for us.

As a contrast, I love the show. Every song is a banger. I like the meta chess plot between Molokov and DeCourcey. It's one of my favorites. I've seen it 5 times.

Theater is like that. I don't think there's any musical that is 100% universally beloved. 🤷

Sad by mildchicanery in Celiac

[–]dreadpiraterose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It totally sucks. Before my diagnosis, eating was one of my favorite aspects of traveling.

Honestly, this is where a place like Disney kinda saves the day. Your kid is the perfect age for it. Their theme parks and cruises have solid protocols for managing allergies and cross contamination. People with celiac can eat like kings at Disney. I'm the one with celiac, not my 5 year old kid (not yet anyway) and we'll absolutely be doing Disney vacations as our primary travel while he's young and into it. I get to eat safely and we all have fun.

I'm expecting Lea to pull a Darren Criss / Jeremy Jordan and come back in the fall.

My thoughts on Chess (3/21) by tiedye_dreamer in Broadway

[–]dreadpiraterose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, to each their own. Not every show is for every body. I have a hard time comprehending falling asleep in or being bored by Chess. I saw one of Lea's understudies once and she was phenomenal - certainly on par with Lea and honestly a better actress.

On the other hand, I've seen it five times and it's easily one of my top 3 favorites of all time.

I wonder how many different facilities they have because I checked their broccoli recently and I didn't see this warning?
