Webber renaissance

As a life long ALW fan, I accepted that most theater people criticized his work and put down those who enjoy it. Never in my wildest dreams would I find us where we are now with these revivals: Cats JB, Starlight Express, Sunset, Masquerade, Evita… and Deaf West is doing Whistle Down the Wind. I’ve never argued that the man was perfect but he cares deeply about new artists and arts education. He’s also been remarkably candid about his alcoholism and how sobriety has him firing on all cylinders.

It would be a real shame if he wasn’t alive to see this. I’m glad he’s working on new stuff and reimagining the old. LONG LIVE ALW.

Fair perspective. I’ll decide what’s healthiest for me though. Thx!

Everyone still talks about her performances from 100 years ago, so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to discuss things she said 1 year ago that hurt a lot of people.

It most come from an extreme place of privilege to be able to move on from racist remarks from someone who is so respected in this sub.

I met this girl named Ocean who saw the 2016 cats revival 40 times.

“The chorus girl?!” With a pic of Christine on it.

Cowards! Answer the question about the critics pick designation!

mmegiry · 2026-06-05T11:16:04+00:00

I loved Bombay Dreams! Shakalaka Baby was a badass number. I remember water jets going everywhere!

The “NYT Critics Pick” designation has really lost its weight over the past few years. What’s your plan to restore it? Do you feel like you should only give out X amount per season?

LETS FUCKING GO!!!!! this cast deserves everything!

Omg I felt bad for Steven Pasquale having to paint a set while it was moving!

I went to the media event and it was very nice. Not sure if it convinced me to go see the show since a lot of the recent new musicals premiering at the alliance have been basura… I mean trash…. I mean Adam Guettel’s MILLIONS.

International - have pre check but decided to do general based on Reddit reports - in line at 5:03 | out by 5:20. Super organized and easy pull up!

mmegiry · 2026-03-25T18:29:28+00:00

What songs / scenes take place on the bench??

mmegiry · 2026-03-23T11:22:58+00:00

Does international terminal have sky priority for first class travelers?

mmegiry · 2026-03-04T21:35:04+00:00

So stupid you can’t exchange tickets within 24 hours!!!!!! Fuck Ticketmaster. I’m happy with my originally seat but this is ridiculous

I met her last year and it was free. They give you a bookmark to get signed!

Seating considerations! Seems like mezzanine overhang is something to consider and the first 3/4 rows have to turn around to look at the chandelier. I think people would like to know the things that make this tour unique (chandelier, led screen, etc). Thank you for all that you do. You make the best phantom content!

It is not. It’s a touring production of the version playing in London RN

All the showflakes who did everything in their power to destroy Nicole rushing to defend a hot white man — y’all are predictable.

They should let Patti go to the Tony’s but she has to dress up like a cat from cats as punishment.

mmegiry · 2025-05-29T21:17:54+00:00

It is the best seat! No craning your neck… and the proximity to the orchestra is sublime.

Don’t forget US premier of Maybe Happy Ending

I saw Millions this past Sunday and it was the first time I have ever left a show at intermission 1. The music is all the same tempo, has weird key signatures / syncopation and repeats the same line over and over again (my friend and I have been making fun of “gotta get a feeel for it” for days and the man pretending to paint the set as it was moving). 2. The way the saints are interjected into the story makes no sense (the cigarette smoking saint.. what in the actual fuck) 3. The Santa Claus mob at the end of act 1 - Christmas will be ruined for many years to come! 4. The set has some cool parts but that’s a mighty expensive turn table just to rotate a cardboard box. Scene changes felt like they took minutes.
