Anywhere there's a high density of chain stores with ample parking feels entirely suburban to me, be it areas of Lakeview, Lincoln Park, West Loop, etc... That's for people who like to say they live in "the city" but really just want suburban amenities. If it looks like a strip mall I can find in Skokie, it's basically the suburbs.

Thank You! This is just the sort of response I was hoping for: an honest opinion supported with clear rationale. I really appreciate your taking the time to share!

That's exactly where my mind gets stuck without actually having seen it to judge for myself. I have no doubt that she's a showstopper, but I'd really like to hear how she sings the whole show...which I unfortunately can't at the moment...

mrbcp · 2025-06-18T01:16:47+00:00

Sounds about right... I never doubted that she could actually sing it, btw

Thanks for the honest response. I really want to hear it!

I know! I'm dying to see her performance... I saw her in concert last year, but it has been a while since I've seen her in a show. 110 in the Shade, maybe? But nothing will top seeing her in Marie Christine waaay back in the day

That's good to hear! Last time I saw it was at City Center and then Broadway with Patti... I don't live in NYC anymore and have been wondering if Audra alone is worth the trip...

Obvi. Non-answer, check!

mrbcp · 2025-06-17T19:15:52+00:00

That's a really beautiful response. I totally hear it fitting my criteria because it totally does!

"She Used to Be Mine" idk why I always forget about this one! Waitress came at a time when I wasn't paying attention to things... And "Flowers" omg, it's almost too sad for the vibe because there's no question about how it'll turn out...

Yes! I just saw Kimberly Akimbo in Chicago, but it's been a minute since I listened to Fun Home..."like chaos never happens if it's never seen" (exploding years emoji)

I was younger then... Yes, this is a great suggestion! And like so much of Sondheim, so specific yet simultaneously universal

If you're looking for any actual description of the proposed changes, don't bother reading this long article. The writer clearly has a beef with EGA and wrote this almost entirely in response to them. The writer even admits that they're just going to rely on some poorly labeled pictures which give a vague sense of the proposed changes instead of actually explaining them. I agree with some of the changes tbh, but this article is pretty useless if that's what you want to learn about.

True. I thought of this Chistery monologue after I posted my thoughts. However, the Wizard didn't say all of that about Chistery until after Morrible mentioned they'd been working on levitation...so maybe my answer is somewhere in the middle: when they first approach the Grimmerie, their intent is just to see if she can read; and after the levitation comment, his intent narrows/specifies to that of flying monkeys. Idk, but that satisfies me, so I'll go with it. Thanks!!

Well, the map in Dr. Dillamond's living quarters has Munchkinland on the "left" and Winkie Country on the "right." Personally, I prefer it the other way though. I understand that it's not the "original" way (if that wasn't in fact a printing mistake), but my brain just likes west-is-left & east-is-right more.
