This was SO good. https://youtu.be/ymqKPz5kRXE

these were heartbreaking to read just now.

 

Apparently reached the “Money? Who cares?” phase of a breakdown, as hubby and our friends decided to buy tickets to the final Strange Loop performance. It was our friends Broadway debut (Thought #2, for anyone familiar with the show) and we had to be there for this.

 

Wicked. The play. - 5/10

Eh I just want to vent about my Broadway experience. Let's break it down

Stage set/pageantry = A+
Songs = C
Plot = D.

Other than defying gravity and popular, the other songs are really mid tier/forgettable level stuff. They all sounded the same and all had the same general message .

Act 1 I was on board. They started to introduce this subplot of animals used to be able to talk but the government is cracking down. THAT sounded interesting. I was like, oooh, okay that's a little dark, I'm into this.

Act 2. Let's just shoehorn a lot of wizard of oz crap, make every characters motivations random and nonsensical, and an ending that makes you go ".....ok?".

For a show thats been running for 20 years, i thought it was kinda weak.

But the moms had a good time and it was their Xmas present so thats good at least (bye bye $800)

 

Tickets went on sale today for the Gatsby musical with music written by Florence Welch that’s premiering in Boston. It was… a bloodbath. lol.
The website constantly crashed, and they eventually set up one of those online queue systems. My friend has been in it for over an hour.
I somehow managed to snag two front row seats opening weekend.
