I don't do downloads. I want an actual physical CD if I'm paying! And isn't iTunes only if you have Apple products, which I don't.

And isn't iTunes only if you have Apple products, which I don't. It's also an application for buying digital content that you can run on a standard PC. I think it used to be that you had to use their app to play the things you bought, but these days you can download it in a form that you can play on anything. (Well, on anything that can play digital content.) |

^Oh, right. I'm evidently out of date. I think I'll still wait for the CD though!

I always thought iTunes was just for use with iPods and similar things so I kind of tuned it out, until there was an album that I wanted to buy that was only available on iTunes so I did some digging around and discovered that it was possible to buy music on iTunes and play it anywhere.

Its still not setting the box office on fire really. It is increasing, but it only grossed $621,651 this past week. Which is by no ,eams awful, but less than I thought it would do.

And less than 50% potential gross. Less than American Psycho had this time last year and we all know what happened there.
I think unfortunately it was a misstep to take it to Broadway this soon.

I found American Psycho and Groundhog Day to be more effective than American musicals of the last decade or so. Only the Miranda shows, Next to Normal and Fun Home have really appealed as much. I find the same with American plays, very few I find interesting, Annie Baker, the shows from TEAM, when Kushner makes an effort and little else.
This didn't used to be the case but I find too many American shows to be generic and 'well made' at the expense of any edge. I don't find the same with US TV though, which is much more innovative nowadays.

What do you think of Great Comet? Pretty good and the Chavkin connection helps me to look favourably on it. I haven't seen the visual side of it, yet, though, which apparently adds to the effect. When you think of the Kander & of Ebbs, Sondheims, Colemans, Bock & Harnicks though, there isn't any real set of songwriters to compare. Miranda, obviously, Flaherty & Ahrens started off strong but have faded, the same with Menken. I like the JRB, Lachiusa and (very limited) Guettel scores but they get little support from American audiences. |

Also, I did see Dave Malloy's Ghost Quartet in Edinburgh last year, nice songs but not a theatricalised show. The Natasha score is much more cohesive.

The Facebook page has said that they've released 'Hope' early to iTunes. I've checked and it's not on there yet, but it is on Spotify....and it sounds F***ING awesome.

It's weird hearing it without periodic applause for another failed attempt! There's some vocal variation at the end too, but it really does sound great. |

I've heard that they have added another illusion which involves Andy Karl climbing a ladder but magically ending up back in the bed

Looks like Andy Karl had an injury tonight during the show. Show was halted and he returned to the stage to finish the show with a cane. Hope he will be ok with opening night just around the corner http://instagram.com/p/BS4-w0JldLv |
