    Great episode ladies! I loved the Shaw musical, but the ending kind of ruined it for me. I wanted an updated ending. Shaw does a lovely job of providing classics as they were originally meant to be seen though, so no surprise.

    I agree about the gag/comedy musicals! I see both shows every year, and while I enjoy the comedy, the other show is generally more of a favourite! I would also love to see more interviews with Stratford actors! I feel like I learn a lot when I watch those eps from you!

    Great job ladies! A couple of points - The current photos of CAA Mirvish Theatre on the website are not accurate, as they are still from the Harry Potter setup. The Cursed child had the Mezzanine ending in row P, but seats for the current shows go back to row W. Lastly, the reason they didn't just remake the movie is that Tina Turner gave an interview to Rolling Stone and said there were numerous things in the film that took creative licenses that she didn't agree with. She said the musical was more her story. I agree with many of your comments about the musical. I heard about your podcast on a reddit thread and checked it out. This was my first episode and I'm now subscribed.

    I flew to NYC with ticket in hand for Lempicka. An art deco lesbian love story, an original musical starring Eden Espinosa and directed by Rachel Chavkin?!?! Are you kidding, I'm in. I have rarely been so disappointed. First Eden was out the night I attended, which did not initiate a positive start. Second the staging, choreography and all the design work was stellar! Stellar!! But third damn was that book bad- so poorly paced, derivative, incongruous- and the score imo was so forgettable.

    • @off2broadwaypodcast275
      @off2broadwaypodcast275 3 місяці тому

      It's such a shame that the creative team couldn't quite make it work! I was so looking forward to Lempicka too as it seemed to be one of the most original and daring musicals of the season, with a stellar cast! But that doesn't count for much unless the book works! Musicals often live and die on their book, and Lempicka was no exception.

    • @off2broadwaypodcast275

    This show took over a decade of prep to reach the stage and it costs them around a million dollars per week to put on, so it's absolutely not a cash grab. If Bob Gale wanted that, he would have sold the BTTF franchise off to Disney or something. This musical is made with love for the fans of the trilogy. It is very much a passion project for Bob Gale (along with Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard) who can often be seen sitting in the audience of the West End and Broadway productions. Roger Bart is GOATed and can do whatever the heck he likes as far as I'm concerned. 😄 He's the only actor totally doing his own thing rather than an impression and "IT WORKS" for me. I did fly over from the UK, but because I had to book six months in advance, I just had to take a chance on which cast members would be in the show. It turned out that Roger was indeed on holiday the night we had bought front row seats for, but the box office allowed us to exchange those tickets for an earlier show when Roger was on. So I cannot speak highly enough of this production, its cast, crew and theatre staff. It's not for everyone, but as a lifelong BTTF fan it is most definitely for me. 😊⚡

    I was just watching your podcast, thanks for a super good podcast, but I have a few corrections for you, Alisha Weir was 10 years old when she was cast but due to covid it took time from when she was cast until the filming started, she was 11 years old when she got the role and was 11 - 12 years old during filming and she is 13 years old now, Alisha received dialect lessons before the filming begav, so that she could perform with a British dialect during filming.

    When Barbra Streisand sang I’m the greatest star and funny girl the movie the words were it must be a plot cause I’m scared that I got such a gift but in the revival of the play they change the words to I think it’s a plot which I think is wrong to do keep the words the same in the song
