Schmigadoon! Brings Its Inside Jokes to Its Ancestral Home So why does it feel smaller on a huge stage than it did on TV?

spring glut is in full swing but this is an immense piece of theater criticism www.vulture.com/article/thea...

I mean sure

I’d agree if I hadn’t seen the recent merrily (which I worshipped). The recent chess however…

look if P!nk is better than Ariana DeBose that‘s a win for me

go see Jellicle Ball. might be the only thing worth seeing this spring!

Vulture’s Jellicle Ball review distilling the proscenium as a shrine for diva worship:

also—if I had a nickel for every time I heard a riders in the sky ripoff on broadway last year, I‘d have two nickels?!?

the score comes across better in the album than it did in the theater, but Schwartz doing bad pastiche of Riders in The Sky with a Bush reference is a microcosm of everything wrong with this show

thought the score came across better in the album than in the theater, but it is still a chore to get through

Octet is a bad choice for a cinematic adaptation send post

if it was someone’s first time experiencing the material, they’d have zero clue the ballroom concept isn’t built into it. THAT’s how well it fits.

i‘m not even sure he brings in that, given it’s a three week limited run and he doesn’t seem to be moving much. Happy to be proven wrong though.

and if telecharge is any indication, grosses will drop by more than a million next week.

enough time has passed so I’m ready to ask: is MacArthur Park the name of the cake? or is the cake melting in MacArthur Park?

dizzy and overwhelming, but a goddamn piece of musical theatre. sensational cast. we are in dire need of a LaChiusassance

to the woman carrying an open (!) coffee mug on the BSL today, I adore your whimsy but I also hope you’ve got good insurance!

Conan 2/2. Just terrific at this.

I am uncontrollably sobbing

the best thing about my new apartment is that the kitchen is right across the TV so I can watch award shows uninterrupted while doing my sunday meal prep

I’m not invalidating the personalized therapeutic strategy — structure is not a necessity for it. but what I cannot agree with is that just the generated model was of any use

im sorry but the alphafold model is trash — the plDDT score! all those unresolved loops?!? absolutely no way they were able to infer druggable modalities from something that looked like that. I call bull.

fine i’ll allow it

WHY IS IT DUMPING SNOW IN MARCH

I love that the price for 48 hours of fake spring is a full-on thunderstorm

the whole timmy opera/ballet thing is funny considering tristan und isolde is SOLD OUT at the met and I cannot find a ticket

also, rhyming “new york/poppin the cork” unironically is just sad. Did Opening Doors teach us nothing?

agreed. and this belongs in that large can of shows where the intermission unnecessarily disrupts the action. could have been much more satisfying as a single act, 100 minute show.

occasionally charming, often grating. no one can write a second act anymore!

not good! benny and bjorn and (most of) the cast innocent. danny strong jail.

and a third of the capacity. insane
