Hi - I seem to recall a thread where people posted reviews of the broadway shows they've seen but i can't seem to find it..so thought i'd start one again
Dear Evan Hansen - new musical
Created by those behind Dogfight, directed by those behind Next to Normal and starring Ben Platt (Frozen, Pitch Perfect). Main gist of the story is how a teenage boy who has social anxiety problems writes a letter and the consequences of that letter has subsequently. Heartwarming with a deep message behind it. While i think the book still needs sorting out, the music is catchy, poppy and modern (audience was very young compared to traditional theatre goers. Ben Platt has the most amazing voice (didn't realise he could sing like that!) and the musical balances a serious topic with good comedy areas. At first I protested on some of the comedic bits when it was a serious topic but i've come to realise that this is a story told by/from a youth perspective and as such, the maturity angle to things makes sense. Staging uses projections and twitter/facebook images etc - so more social media focussed (which makes sense)
Comment from someone close to the production is that they should be transferring to broadway (thats their aim anyways). I only wish i had a chance to go back to see this again.
American Psycho
Turned a heap more sexy in the american version (e.g. Benjamin Walker spents most of the 2nd Act in this white pants, in Hard Body all the guys are shirtless instead of wearing vests in the gym scene). Changes included removal of Oh Africa and restaging of the long beach scene etc. I actually saw this twice. First time, I wasn't impressed and preferred the london version. Second time, I ended up appreciating what they were doing and actually enjoyed myself. More high artistic compared to other broadway offerings so will look to see what happens!
Waitress
Songs from Sara Barallies (sp?), Direction from Dianne Paulus and starring Jesse Mueller. Based on a movie - I could sum this up as charming. I went to the preview where they had several tech problems - to the point that Sara B came on stage and started entertaining the crowd including singing a song that didn't make the production. Clever staging with the sides turned into revolving pie/cake displays and they had waitresses selling little pots of pie as audience treats. This is a typical feel good show an, the songs are nice (but none come off as memorable). It is more of a comedy and has some surprising sexual scenes/staging that I had expected! The ensemble is rarely used but for more artistic movement. Chris F who plays one of the love interests for the waitress steals the scenes that he is in. Jesse M unfortunately doesn't get given a "wow" moment in this piece but delivers a solid performance. I can see this doing very well in broadway.
Color Purple
I actually preferred this version a lot more than when it was in the chocolate factory. JHud, Cynthia and Danielle Brooks were amazing. The cast let rip on every song and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Reba Mcintyre was in and gave Cynthia a standing O after 'I'm here'. I won't say more as most have seen this already but if you were thinking about going to the broadway version, i would say it is worth it.
Straight - off broadway play
Story about a guy who is "straight" with a gf who falls for a guy and what happens after. Stars the guy who originated Barry from Beautiful and on Degrassi on TV. Plot drew me in and certain twists in the play drew gasps. The ending shocked the majority of the audience. I enjoyed this. Thought provoking.
She Loves Me
Starrs Laura Benati, Zachary Levi, Gavin Creel etc. I enjoyed this - thought it didn't show its age despite being such a "old" musical. Story inspired the movie ýou've got mail but set in the perfumerie in the days where it was letters. Strong cast performance with great comedic timing. It was education day so after the show there was a post-performance talk by the cast with the audience.

I saw Dear Evan Hansen in Washington DC and thought it had tremendous potential. Glad you enjoyed it. I need to stop putting off buying tickets!

Interesting you have chosen an eclectic mix of shows, which is great.
When I go to New York, in the many shows I have seen there, I nearly always stick to seeing shows on Broadway, the only exception was Rent. The reason for this is two fold, I believe cream raises to the top, so the best stuff will make transfer to Broadway, which it often does and what you can do off Broadway - where budgets are minimal, you can easily replicate in London. Toxic Avengers and Death Takes an Holiday are good examples of coming up shows and Dogfight and Altar Boys are another good past examples of shows. This is very much an observation and no way a criticism, if I lived in New York, I would see lots of 'off Broadway' and 'off off Broadway', also would attend stuff like Encores and special concerts like Parade and Secret Garden.
It is a time and money thing as well. Thanks for the update.

Even the "best stuff" doesn't necessarily end up on Broadway not because it's bad or in the metaphorical cream, but because Broadway isn't necessarily the pinnacle for a lot of types of shows. I loved Let the Right One In when I saw it in Brooklyn, but it didn't transfer to Broadway and I'm glad it didn't -- it wasn't that type of show.

I absolutely loved The Robber Bridegroom, Steven Pasquale and Leslie Kritzer were both outstanding! It is branded a "Mississippi fairytale" set in a barn with a live blue grass ensemble on stage. It is really the epitome of Alex Timbers in style.

It is March Madness on Broadway at the moment, looking forward to going back the same time next year ! haha |

I loved Let the Right One In when I saw it in Brooklyn, but it didn't transfer to Broadway and I'm glad it didn't -- it wasn't that type of show. True Remember that Let the Right One in started life at the Royal Court, before transferring to the Apollo Theatre in the West End. Love to see it again, surprised it hasn't toured or done at somewhere like the Royal Exchange, Manchester etc. Sure to see that great show off Broadway, that neither doesn't play Broadway or London and is very good is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Last time I was in New York, I saw Sleep No More and all what I gained was sore feet, the only reason I saw this, was because it had a 11:00 show. if Off Broadway didn't always clash with the same show times as Broadway, I would see more, thinking a Tuesday or Thursday matinee here or early evening 17:00 shows. Many small theatres, look at getting to Broadway and that I wholly include off West End theatres too, for instance The Normal Heart, a cracking show, but no mileage in doing it, as recently played Broadway and was Tony winning too. |

It's not a "bluegrass music feel" in Bright Star, it *is* bluegrass music.

Was in NY last weekend and saw The Crucible, The Colour Purple, She Loves Me, A Long Day's Journey into Night and Finding Neverland.
I have to disagree about She Loves Me - it seemed extremely dated to me, albeit charmingly performed by an excellent cast. The bit where someone hoped the female lead would get married because then she'd give up her job particularly stuck out, along with the incredibly stereotypical 2 dimensional characterisation and extremely convenient denouement. I also thought the music itself was quite dated when I was watching it, though I can't remember any of it now. I thought it was an interesting museum piece, though - a good antidote to the 'they don't make them like they used to'' golden-age fallacy.
I enjoyed Finding Neverland more, even though I'm not a huge fan of Alfie Boe and the music has also failed to stick in my head. I was lucky to catch Kelsey Grammer's last performance as he was excellent, the child cast was very strong, and it definitely has the visual inventiveness and spectacle you want from a family show. It's odd to watch it having seen Peter and Alice, though - the innocence and optimism of Finding Neverland gives Peter and Alice new poignancy in retrospect.
The Colour Purple I absolutely loved. Top-notch cast doing fine work, music I can actually recall, and I think it works particularly well with a vocal Broadway audience who respond to every 'Hell, no!' with cheers and applause. I could really feel the audience getting behind Celie's transformation, and it made for a wonderful atmosphere in the theatre.
It was the first time I'd seen A Long Day's Journey Into Night, and as it was first preview had no reviews to read, so went in completely cold. The only thing I knew was the running time - and at 3 hours 45 minutes I thought it was going to be a long haul. It actually flew by! Amazing cast - I'm ashamed to say I wasn't familiar with Jessica Lange beforehand, but I will rectify that because she absolutely blew me away. An incredible performance from her, and not a weak link in the rest of the cast. It can only get tighter and better during previews but it seemed like the finished product to me already.
The Crucible was my reason for booking this trip, and I was nervous that it would disappoint me m, but I needn't have worried. I was lucky to be row B central in the stalls and so to have a close-up view of the powerful and at times very subtle performances, and for the not-at-all subtle elements to have a strong impact. Obviously Ben Whishaw and Sophie Okenedo and Soairse Ronan were excellent, but the supporting cast were also very strong and Tavi Gevinson particularly stood out. Ivo van Hove's choice of setting and directorial flourishes seem to have confounded some critics - I think if you know Van Hove's work well enough to grasp that these are intended symbolically rather than literally then you will get on well with this production. If you're sitting in the audience wondering why a dog has just wandered through the schoolroom (and, **sigh**, laughed at it) then I suspect this production will not work for you. The themes of the misuse of authority and the damage incurred when the oppressed overthrow it were really brought out by this production, which made very clear that no-one was totally innocent or totally evil, and that failing to understand that is disastrous. I loved it - it was properly tense and I found myself leaning forward in my seat with my heart pounding at the end. It's the first time I have actually believed Proctor's decision at the end was right, and that's due to Ben Whishaw and Sophie Okenedo.

I'm now back from NYC and about to start my reviews for my blog so this is a good warm up! I saw a mix of shows I'd seen here in the UK and new shows and overall enjoyed everything I saw.
1. The Color Purple - I thought this was fantastic and after missing it in London I'm pleased I was able to see it on Broadway. Cynthia was more incredible than I'd imagined and the atmosphere in the US theatre with all the audience response was wonderful. I had to buy the soundtrack too, which is a good sign for a musical.
2. Blackbird - I enjoyed Blackbird although I thought some of the writing / dialogue was a bit dull. Michelle Williams was fantastic though and her long speech where she is describing the fateful night from years ago was very powerful indeed. Not the best play I saw over there, but still pretty good.
3. The Jersey Boys - I've never fancied this in London, but we went along seeing as we were in America and I think the experience of seeing it there added to the enjoyment. It was a lot of fun and as the box office sold us tickets at reduced price on the day, I had a great seat for much less than I think I'd pay here.
4. American Psycho - I'd loved the Almeida show and was curious to see what changes had been made for Broadway. There were more than I expected. The whole opening song and a few others have a different musical arrangement, meaning they sounded quite different from the UK cast (as proved correct on listening again to the cast recording). I'm pleased the Oh Africa song has gone and I liked how there was more of a dream-like atmosphere in later scenes, with Patrick covered in blood, seemingly only visible to us, enhancing the idea then perhaps none of it is real after all. In my view most of the cast were weaker vocally than London (I was especially disappointed by the actress playing Joan), but Benjamin Walker was excellent in the lead. Lots of charm, charisma but also menace when needed too.
5. Sleep No More - I enjoyed The Drowned Man and I think that meant I took more from my 2nd Punchdrunk experience, being braver and more open to the experience (achieving one of the one on ones too). There's nothing quite like these shows and I loved the feeling of freedom of walking around what felt part nightmare and part video game. The Macbeth link wasn't hugely obvious from the bits I saw, as I seemed to spend most of my time with characters in a whole different story, but I'd go again if I could.
6. Eclipsed - Probably my favourite show of the trip. I loved everything about it. The script is very sharp; one moment it's dark and unsettling and the next its light and funny and charming. All five actresses are excellent, but especially Lupita (who looked so young in this role) and Pascale (who brings so much humour and laughter to the play). It was genuinely moving and is a very powerful piece of theatre. If you go to NYC and can only see one thing, go and see this.
7. A Streetcar Named Desire - I had to revisit Gillian Anderson's Young Vic Streetcar and it was just as good a second time. The warehouse theatre recreates the interior staging of the Young Vic and the location of the theatre itself (right under Brooklyn Bridge) was beautiful.
8. The Crucible - I'd been intrigued to see Ben Whishaw as John Proctor, a role I always imagine with more physical actors (such as Rishard Armitage who I loved in the role). I really did enjoy the production. It captured the eerie mood and the horror of suspicion and the sense of powerlessness to stop injustice very well. Ben was very good indeed. His was a Proctor able to play certain moments with a quieter intensity. Saoirse Ronan was very good and I was left wanting more of her on the stage. You had no difficulty understanding why the other girls were scared of her. Also for me personally the reality of her past with Proctor was much clearer and their chemistry was very good. I wasn't convinced about Sophie Okonedo's relationship with Whishaw until the final few scenes, which proved to be very moving and emotional.
9-12. RSC King & Country plays (RII, Henry IV & Henry V) - The trip was planned around the final cycle of the RSC's plays so it was lovely to see Richard II (and yes Mr Tennant) again. It's a production that has only grown stronger over time and I really loved Jasper Britton's Bolingbroke. Antony Sher has also grown as Falstaff and this NY performance was my favourite. He spoke at a book signing in NYC about how he found the US audience responding better and listening more to the words and I think he had a point. The reactions of the audience clearly made him really enjoy it and that came across on stage. Then being at the last Henry V, marking the end for this company (some of whom started in 2013) was quite special and seeing how much they were loved by the NYC audience was lovely to see.
That's made me want to go and do it all again. Time to start looking at the autumn offerings (and saving some money)!

Nice mix of shows there! I was in New York for 2 weeks last month and saw two of these shows. Enjoyed The Crucible but admit I only went because I like Ben Whishaw (who I thought was great). On Broadway I also saw She loves me which was enjoyable. A typical, old fashioned American musical with a great cast. My third Broadway show was Fiddler on the Roof which I'd already seen on my last visit in November.
I did see Sleep No More more times than I should ever admit but being a huge Punchdrunk fan I just couldn't stay away. I agree that the Macbeth narrative can be hard to spot depending on which characters you end up following. For me this show has something new in store every time I go (and I've been going regularly since September 2014) - it really is highly addictive, at least if you are into immersive theatre. I'm going back in late June. :-)

Steffi - where can I discuss Sleep No More. I'd love to understand more about who the characters I was following were. IS that strand totally separate from the Macbeth piece? I think I took more from it than Drowned Man as I had more courage to really explore and I hope it runs long enough for me to go again.

But depending on who you followed you might not have seen anything Macbeth related. It very much depends on the characters you followed and which part of their loop you saw. Feel free to message me privately - I don't want to post too much on here (I always try to avoid posting any kind of spoiler for Punchdrunk shows). :-) |

I've seen Jersey Boys in London, Melbourne, and various parts of the US, but seeing it in such proximity to the actual Jersey brings it a little edge. The first time I saw it here, I felt like they were almost trying too hard, but I don't feel that way anymore. I've done Sleep No More twice, but am not that familiar with Macbeth. Had a great time anyway, and took candy both times! Does this help? sleepnomore.wikia.com/wiki/Sleep_No_More_Wiki |

You thought Jennifer Damiano was vocally weak in American Psycho? I'm shocked. Did you see her in Next To Normal? She has a great voice!

She was fine, but my personal view, having seen the London cast and now the Broadway cast, was that I thought Cassandra Compton in London was much stronger vocally and made much more of an impact. Jean really stood out for me and her vocals were some of my favourites of the show here in London and that wasn't the case in NYC. |

Started writing this over a month ago when I got back from NY, but never finished it! Finished it today, it may not be the best as I had to really try and think back to the shows (seems like so long ago!), but I gave it my best shot. Wrote the first three about a month ago and the last three today. For those that are thinking of seeing the shows I am happy to send over my full review from my blog. Without further ado, here they are...
Fiddler on the Roof-Was going to see this on the last NY trip, but was never too sure as I was worried it was going to be a little bit dated. Boy, was I wrong! A lot of revivals I see, however good they are, tend to be a little dated, but not Fiddler. This production just felt so fresh and new! Danny Burstien was off and I am glad… because this meant I was able to witness the stunning Adam Grupper perform at Tevye. WOW! WOW! WOW! He gave such a moving and heartfelt performance, whilst having great comic timing as well and his voice really suited the songs. One of the best understudies I have ever seen. I even wish there was a cast recording of his performance, you are in for a real treat if you manage to catch this performance! Choreography completely blew me away, best I’ve seen in a while. I urge people to find their performance on the Tony’s as this really shows of this show’s mesmerising choreography. Really solid cast as well. Could not fault this show in one way, had never seen Fiddler on the Roof before and I am glad that this was my first experience of seeing the show! 5 Stars
Paramour-I didn’t really think I was going to like that that much, but with this being one of the only shows on Monday I decided to go and see it. To my surprise, I actually really enjoyed this show! Cirque du Solei has combined circus and theatre so well, it’s a combination I never thought would work, but to my amazement it was brilliant! Not the most complex story in the world, but it didn’t really matter. Ruby Lewis was amazing. Great actress, great singer and great dancer, a triple threat! In a show like this it is so easy to get overshadowed by the acrobats, but she really did a superb job. The Artheron Twins were phenomenal, really wish they had been featured more. To someone who was going to the show but was wary I said to go into the theatre with the mindset that you have to accept it’s not your usual Broadway musical, but once you can accept that, I can almost guarantee a good time! Didn’t like the opening number, because there were just too many things going on at once and I didn’t know where to look, but that was the only major flaw in the show. 4 Stars
Eclipsed-Saw this because of Lupita N’Yongo and had mixed expectations, but ended up being really impressed. This play had such a hard subject matter and it was handled very well. Some may find it uncomfortable to sit though, as my Mum did, so people may need to think about this before booking. Superb acting by all, especially Lupita N’Yongo, Saycon Senbloh and Pascale Armand. Those three all gave a really touching performance and it’s hard to pick a favourite out of them. Sets, costumes and lighting were all really good. Really clever ending and I found the play to be very thought-provoking. It was really great that the cast read out the names of some of the girls who had been kidnapped in Liberia, found it really disrespectful that some audience members left before they had finished reading the names. Props to Lupita for calling out an audience member taking pictures whilst staying in character. Only negative would be that the accents were hard to understand, especially at the beginning of the play. 4 Stars
She Loves Me-Didn’t originally have any plans of seeing this, but then it was announced Friseur star Tom McGowan. The show’s strongest aspect is definitely it’s cast. Zachary Levi had great stage presence, Laura Benanti had an amazing voice, Jane Krakowski was perfect for her part, Tom McGowan and Peter Barlett were hilarious, it was just such a great and well-matched cast! Watched the live stream recently and it reminded me how great the show was, it’s a show that worked really well being filmed. The set is, without a doubt, one of the best designs I have ever seen and I am so glad it was awarded with a Tony (it even beat Hamilton!!) For me, Zachary Levi stole the show. Whenever he was onstage, he was the one that got my attention. I found that he actually outshone Laura, but I’m in the minority with that thought. It’s just such a fun show and I was really rooting for Georg and Amalia, the tension towards the end before he reveals himself is so tense. I agree with other posters that the show is very dated and that would put people off. It didn’t bother me too much, but it was very noticeable. 4 Stars
The Judas Kiss-Funnily enough, we almost cancelled our tickets to see this as on the day we went Mum was really tired, but we decided eventually to stick with our original plan and make the trek to Brooklyn. In the end, we were so glad we went because we found the show to be fascinating. It really is tragic what Oscar Wilde went through and the courage he showed was incredible. Rupert Everret’s performance is worth the ticket price alone, he places the role so convincingly and it is impossible not to feel compassion for him. Lighting and costumes were both well designed and I thought the music to end act one (possibly act two as well, not sure if they used the same music) was well chosen. Great cast, no weak links at all. Before the show I was a little apprehensive to see a play written by David Hare, as I was not a fan of Skylight, but this was really well written. The only criticism of the show would be that I did find myself getting a little confused in places, but I don’t know if that was just me. 4 Stars
Waitress-As I said before going to NY on the Waitress thread, this was the most excited I had been for a show since Hamilton. I watched the trailer about 100 times before seeing, so did it live up to my expectations?… It was even better than I thought it would be! Words can’t describe how amazing this cast are. Jessie Mueller gives one of the best, if not the best, performances I have ever seen in musical theatre. I was in tears during ‘She Used To Be Mine’, she is such a stunning actress and has a voice that not many people can beat. Christopher Fitzgerald is hilarious, happy he was recognised for a Drama Desk Award an Outer Critics Circle Award as he is such a good actor. I was really left wanting more from his performance. The songs are so good, after seeing the show I had the album on repeat for about two weeks. Costumes, set and lighting were all fantastically designed and the show was so well choreographed. Cannot recommend this show enough, it was the highlight of my whole holiday! The show has even made it into my top 10 shows of all time. 5 stars
