Broadway Picks - what have you seen recently?

Loved Tootsie but it’s closing January 5th.  Cheap tix on Today Tix. 

Nice performance from American Utopia on Fallon:

And the interview:

Adult School has 5 seats left for Hamilton - these will go quick:

Cool - I hadn't heard of that one before - here's the promo video:

West Side Story opens in previews on December 10th.  I think it will be huge 

 I’ll report back on December 11th. 

I saw Hadestown. I’m not a big fan of musicals but I thought it was terrific. Great music. I also saw Height of the Storm with Eileen Atkins. This Saturday seeing Harvey Fierstein as Bela Abzug. 

Buy your tix for West Side Story now because once it’s reviewed you’ll have to wait a year.  Masterpiece.  Leonard Bernstein’s genius shines through in a contemporary take on a classic.  

Can u give more info on WSS before I lay out the big bucks?

I'm seeing Tina: The Tina Turner Musical next week. I'll try to remember to report back.

(But I'm biased because of having a friend in the cast - one of the kids. I took him to the auditions for the part! I loved the dress rehearsal that I saw about two months ago!)

Intermission- excellent so far

To Kill a Mockingbird was well done.  Ed Harris is great.

How was the rest of Intermission?

 Said child cast member's schedule was changed that week so we didn't get to see it then after all.  Finally (knock on wood!) going tonight.

On the drama side, this looks interesting. I'm a fan of Steppenwolf's ensemble work and of Letts's writing. Its setting is like a Maplewood TC or South Orange BoT meeting, with some interesting turns.

Daughters college buddy is in “Ain’t Too Proud”. Went last night. Real singing up in there! Other than that, pretty much follows the Temptations TV movie story line. Great tribute to a great group.

My friend saw WSS last week and relayed to me that she “cried through the whole thing”

 I can now enthusiastically recommend this show.  In particular, Adrienne Warren is phenomenal in the title role!

Finally made it back to Broadway - Moulin Rouge - Phenomenal!  

Great set - great performance!  I was a big fan of the movie and they did it justice.  They also updated a lot of the song clips.  There was over 55 pop song references.  Which sounds corny, but it was really well done.

Saw Topdog/Underdog yesterday.  It was terrific.  Acting was great. Highly recommend. 

I also thought Topdog/Underdog was fantastic, as was Death of a Salesman. Leopoldstadt was really powerful. I liked Cost of Living less than the others.
