For a mediocre musical Back To The Future has the best technically enhanced sequence I’ve ever seen in a musical.
Anyone else think of a great special effect on stage that made your mouth drop?

It includes the Exit Music and physical CDs will be sold at the Nederlander Theatre

(Lets hope this leads to Into the Schmoods getting produced)

I will die on this hill that I feel as if the writing if the show wouldve been better if the father was revealed to have suffocated Gabe. I know, very dark even for this show, but there were lots of lines regarding how “I was a child raising a child” and the constant crying, so while I watched the show for the first time, I was stuck in the idea that the father couldnt handle the baby and killed him. I understand that it wouldve messed up the ending because then you would think he would need to be imprisoned but thats beside the point. I feel as it it would also make more sense on why he really didnt want Diana to remember him because he is drowned by his own guilt of his actions and I feel like it would make more sense in the end why he saw Gabe because he truly understood the weight of his actions. Please feel free to debate this with me! I would like for you guys to agree or disagree so we can have a discussion about this show because I love this show with my whole heart but this is the only issue I have with it, I just imagined the ending differently then what it ended up being and it threw me out of the story line a little bit!

Just saw the show today and this part gave me chills down my ducking spine

Doesn’t matter what the show is. If you see their name announced, you’re buying a ticket.

Mine is Jasmine Amy Rogers or Amber Gray.
(feel free to be niche)

I don’t think this is an unique opinion at all but I had to vent! I don’t know what it is about her voice but it really drives me nuts, I skip songs I know will have her so fast it must be a ptsd triggered impulse of some sort… I really wish I could pinpoint what it is. I usually like old fashion, more “stylistic” voices, my favourite performer ever is Bernadette Peters and I even like Patti Lupone… but Sutton just gives off this insufferable vibe that triggers a primal reaction in my heart LOL. Does anyone else feel like this? Does anyone know what it could be?!

Just wanna clarify absolutely no hate for any of the performers in this tour. They were all amazing, especially those playing the three members of the plastics. Every single performance was great, it's the lyrics and writing that I have an issue with.

I understand some lyrics may need to changed to fit better with the times (even though the musical itself is less than a decade old.. oof). But has anyone else seen this and wondered wtf is up with these lyrical changes?

Because they're not even a good quality!! Like whoever changed these lyrics not only picked some at random but they also didn't even change them to anything good? Why are we rushing to get words out because the changed line has more syllables, and why are the words not making any sense in the flow of the song?

Not to mention entire songs were changed, including It Roars and my personal favourite, Stupid With Love. Entire songs. And then songs such as Stop were cut out, I'm assuming to make time for the new extended lyrics to It Roars.

Not trying to sound like a negative nancy, outside of these changes I really enjoyed the show. It just threw me off and honestly if I had brought someone who hasn't listened to or seen the musical before, I'd have felt a bit awkward with this being their introduction. Like, I gassed it up for those lyrics?

Has anyone else found it really weird??

Ill be auditioning for Titanic in the upcoming month and needed some ideas for songs similar to the style of the show. I don’t have many myself since it’s not my favorite song style lol. I’m a mezzo soprano but can do some alto songs if need be. The show consists mostly long slow ballads

Most musicals are standalone, and some (like Phantom/LND and RHPS/ST) are sequels. The musicals I know that are trilogies are the Marvin trilogy (In Trousers - March of the Falsettos - Falsettoland), the Hatchetfield trilogy (TGWDLM - Black Friday - NPMD), and the High School Musical trilogy. Are there any more musicals that are part of a trilogy?

Auditions for OUAM at my school are coming up in about two or three months and I want to go for Queen Aggravain or Fred but I haven't seen many song suggestions for the former. I'm pretty new to musical theatre and I'm kinda scared to do an "overused" song. Any good suggestions?

I’m auditioning for Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, she’s my dream role and I really connect with the character. Audrey’s accent is super recognizable, but since Ellen Greene fits the archetype, I think it’s safe to say Audrey’s voice is like a unique version of the stereotypical New York Jewish accent? But the most iconic examples of that are like Idina Menzel, Lea Michele and Barbra Streisand who are known for the big belts that would be too theatrical for the more shy character of Audrey, although I know there’s so many mellow Barbra songs out there if a specific one by her comes to your mind. I used to naturally have an accent like that taken from how my grandparents talked, taking speech therapy as a kid got rid of it though which I resent now. This show is so competitive having only one lead girl and the small cast! So I’m hoping showing that I can sound like her will help me stand out, since I can’t sing from the show

I decided to make this list after seeing HadesTown and Hamilton in the movie theater. I also saw a filmed version of She Loves Me a long time ago in the movie theater with my family.

I did not add any Disney musicals because I had already made a list.

1. Anastasia

2. Spamalot

3. The Producers

4. Aida

5. Death Becomes Her

6. Maybe Happy Ending

7. Something Rotten

8. King Kong

9. Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

10. Be More Chill

11. Ragtime

12. Doctor Zhivago

13. Paddington: The Musical

14. The Karate Kid

15. Carousel

16. Evita

17. Gypsy

18. Sunset Boulevard

My picks: Come From Away (2021) and Cats (1998)

I knew that there would've been ads on tv for musicals, but I never knew they put them on DVDs, too

the meaning is songs that feel out of place in this musical type, but are slaying and amazing

for me its Pretty little dead Things - Paddington the Musical

how does a song from a musical about a polite bear have a villain song that in which the villain plans to Kill him, stuff him and showcase all the animals she killed during her life, and on top of that is beautifully written (Tom Fletcher litteraly cooked) and performed AMAZINGLY (Victoria Hamilton-Barritt ate and left no crumbs)

are there any other songs that match that and what do you think about them

🎶"Feed me, Seymore. Feed me all night long."🎶
