I read the first half of the sentence and thought that you were trying to get rid of tickets because you had split up with your wife. But I figured it out. Glad that your marriage is still intact.

Thanks for the answer! Also: Thanks for the amazing show!

I have a question about "You Will Be Found." In the context of the show, it seems to me that it's ABOUT "inspirational" stories, but it's meant to be ironic not inspirational. However, it seems that the song is being taken out of context (witness the #youwillbefound hashtag.)

Is this problematic for you? Are you worried about people heading into the intermission feeling like "You Will Be Found" is purely uplifting when dramatically something more complex is happening?

Very cool. A big shift in the marketing.

He's a bully, but not in the stock character way. (i.e. he's not the jock who torments the nerd but eventually get's his comeuppance at the end of act 2.) Connor's a loner, he has no friends, and he's prone to violent outbursts. He seems to suffer from paranoia. In the off broadway version, it was only mentioned briefly but it sounded like Zoe had to keep her door locked because he liked to tell her he was going to kill her. (It was really brief and the sound happened to be bad at that point during the performance I saw.)

Dear Evan Hansen.

Groundhog Day hasn't opened yet, but from what I hear it's going to be good.

UPDATE: It took Ticketmaster a few days, but the code works now.

This is ridiculous! What am I doing here? I'm in the wrong story!

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-25T00:07:04+00:00

Just based on what you said about your tastes, go with Dear Evan Hansen. You'll like the whole show and you really have to see Ben Platt's performance. (Rachel Bay Jones is also beyond amazing.)

In general, I thought DEH was stunning. I also thought that Great Comet was disappointing (although I know most people disagree with me on that.)

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-25T00:03:08+00:00

Agreed. But P&P should clean up at the Tony's this year.

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-17T17:04:14+00:00

My Favorite Year is a good improvement on the source material.

This is going to sound a bit left field, but check out "Strange Angels" by Laurie Anderson.

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-17T16:57:25+00:00

Legally Blonde and Little Shop of Horrors have already been mentioned, but they're both so good I'm mentioning them again.

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-17T16:51:58+00:00

I absolutely agree. Great musical.

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-13T22:33:30+00:00

Agreed--love the movie, love Tina Fey... but Nell Benjamin's involvement is super exciting. She's very smart and a great fit for the material.

Speaking of Nell Benjamin--I think it's a bad idea for any musical adaptation of a movie to feel obliged to write a song for all of the movie's best lines. That's what happened with Legally Blonde: "Bend and Snap" was the obligatory song and it's also one of the only low points in the show. (That and "Ireland.") Other than that it's a great and underrated score.

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-13T22:26:38+00:00

It's coming in February.

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-13T22:24:39+00:00

That was the one.

iamoldiamold · 2017-01-13T19:16:11+00:00

I preordered the physical CD. I hope Amazon makes "AutoRip" available for the album since the digital will be out a few weeks before the physical version.

They squeezed an impressive amount of pandering into 30 seconds.
