I hope you get the chance. It's a great production. Not sure if the cast will be the same in Jan or not.wease wrote:This is the oldest Weaseling’s favorite as well. She’s seen it 2-3 times so far.

Little Shop is probably my favorite musical. It was so, so great.

Re: Broadway Joey
Saw Topdog/Underdog last night. Just fucking unreal. It's been one of my favorite plays since I first read it back in the day. But this was the first production I'd seen.
Corey Hawkins and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are both just amazing. Both just completely transform.
This is what theater should be.
I'm considering seeing several times, which I never do. But $35 for front row seats? Yes please. I think I could watch it every night.

Re: Broadway Joey
I've been going back to the theatre a lot and my heart is full again. But so many plays!
Saw the new Sarah Ruhl play a couple weeks ago, Death of a Salesman last week and Ohio State Murders tonight.
Next month I've already got two plays lined up.

Re: Broadway Joey
It was a flawed but powerful production. It's the first time I've fully understood the entire play. Bummer that you'll miss it.

I'd tell you to see Ohio State Murders just for Audra McDonald who (all past hyperbole aside) is probably the best actor alive right now. But it also closes on the 15th.

Re: Broadway Joey
We start a play called Pictures from Home on Jan 13th. It's a new play, based on a photo memoire, and has a killer cast. Not sure what the show will be like yet. Hopefully, we'll get a staff invited dress tomorrow so we can get a better grasp on what the play is.wease wrote:Yeah. I looked at that one too.epilogue wrote:It was a flawed but powerful production.

Re: Broadway Joey
I still haven't seen the whole thing. I was able to see about 20 twenty total minutes of various rehearsals but not the entire show (they cancelled our staff invited dress). But we're selling out and everyone coming out of the theater seems to LOVE it.wease wrote:How’s the play, Joe?wease wrote:That looks interesting. Let me know how it is.

Re: Broadway Joey
Sarah Ruhl's newest piece (Letters from Max, a ritual) is transcendent. It's Off-Broadway (but there isn't an Off-Broadway centric thread that I'm aware of). But Jesus what a fantastic piece of theater. I can't stop thinking about it.

Re: Broadway Joey
Mrs Wease and the oldest Weaseling saw Sweeney Todd and Parade this week. Weaseling said Parade is the best show she’s seen on Broadway yet. She met the Stranger Things kid that was in Sweeney Todd.

Parade was very low on my radar but now that I've read your post I'm reconsidering.
Sweeney Todd is such a great piece. I'm stoked about the revival and very excited to see it. It's my favorite Sonheim.
Are they still in town? They should go see Letters to Max if they are.

Just got back into town an hour or so ago. Sweeney Todd was a Christmas gift. Parade was an on-the-fly decision. I think the historical context was what put it over the top for her as, like her dad, she really digs history stuff.epilogue wrote:wease wrote:Mrs Wease and the oldest Weaseling saw Sweeney Todd and Parade this week.
