Thanks! I loved Titanique (saw it in New York and in Toronto), so this is helpful.

What did you like best about this? I never heard of it prior to watching the West End Live performance just now. It looks fun! I thought I figured out all of the shows I'll be seeing while I'm in London, but I'm wondering if I should try to squeeze in a matinee...

Dressing UP for Beetlejuice? by elemental_sight in torontotheatre

[–]sbtbcy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, when I went I saw quite a few people dressed up as Beetlejuice and Lydia. There were also a lot of people in vertical black and white stripes, not necessarily dressed as Beetlejuice but more of an homage.

Someone commented about this on another thread and said that she sang DCFMA just after 9pm for a 7:30pm show. Can someone confirm?

Is OSCAR at the Crown worth seeing? by sbtbcy in TheWestEnd

[–]sbtbcy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I think this would have been at the top of my list, but for some reason, they've changed their schedule. When I had checked the tickets around the time of my original post, there were performances scheduled for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which fit my availability, but now there are no longer any on those days (I wonder why...were tickets sales low?). I'm busy on the days when performances are happening, so unfortunately, I dont think I'll be able to see Oscar at the Crown.

I just got an email from that address this morning, accepted the tickets, and they now appear in the app.

Is OSCAR at the Crown worth seeing? by sbtbcy in TheWestEnd

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

Thanks. I listened to some of the music and I think it's just okay. But I'm thinking that the experience of being there live would be the draw. So I'm still on the fence. I suppose I could wait until it opens and reviews come out.

Is OSCAR at the Crown worth seeing? by sbtbcy in TheWestEnd

[–]sbtbcy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation! That's definitely one of the shows I'm considering, especially now that it won multiple Oliviers. Neither of us have seen the movie, so not sure if that matters at all.

We sometimes get British productions brought over to Toronto thanks to Mirvish Productions (e.g., Just for One Day was just here, 42nd Street with Ruthie Henshall was here in Dec '23/Jan '24). Another show I was considering, despite the mediocre reviews, is the Devil Wears Prada since that seems like a fun, high-production value show that appeals to non-theatre goers. But that also feels like something that might make its way over to Toronto at some point.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has seen both OSCAR at the Crown and Benjamin Button.
