Thanks for the report, especially with it being at the Opera House! Exiting there has always been a mess because there is one exit alllllll the way to the left, so everyone is going in one direction. Great venue legit other than that lol. So happy to hear you had a good time! Maybe I’ll make it for TKAM or something, but I’m thinking Hamilton next year makes more sense to me.
My daughter and her bf spent last weekend in NYC and saw Mrs. Doubtfire on Broadway. They thought it was great and pretty faithful to the original movie. They did an air BnB and had a few good dinners. Both are vaxxed and boostered so had no issues getting into any venues.
Best descriptor: Fun, just lots of fun!

I see me and some Chardonnay having a blast here. Will try to see it in NYC!Best descriptor: Fun, just lots of fun!
I saw it at the ART in Boston back in the fall of 2019 and had only been vaguely familiar with the material beforehand. I listened to the soundtrack prior to going, but really only one or two times. I was fortunate enough to end up with a promo set of $25 tickets too (which I thought were three rows from the back...turns out they were three from the front
There was an infectious party atmosphere through the whole performance, and by the MegaSix curtain call it was a full on dance party in the seats! The set was minimal but helped with the concert vibe, and the costumes were a-mazing! You're probably super familiar with them from promo vids, but good god in person there are SO many details! Honestly every one of the queens is perfect for their part too, not really a weak spot among them (one unfortunate voice crack, but as a performer myself, hey, it happens, and she recovered beautifully). Special highlights go to Abby Mueller for the pure emotion she brought, Andrea Macasaet for her bubbly, anarchist, "I'm not a b-, I'm just being honest" portrayal, and Brittney Mack for absolutely COMMANDING the stage whenever she was on. It was especially fun trying to pinpoint the two artists they mashed together for each queen and hearing those musical influences too!
I would say this isn't a show that is going to leave you with an earth-shattering moral message or leave you pondering your existence/the big questions of the universe, nor is it particular strong in the narrative department, but guaranteed you will leave humming your favorites on rotation! The one act runtime is also amazing in case you didn't want to run into any theater fatigue. Overall, would highly recommend, especially if you already enjoy girl pop/diva style concerts!

Sad to see but from what I’ve read about the show and the recording of the show is that it’s genuinely not good, so this isn’t surprising sadly.And…. it’s gone. Thirty-three shows.

Maybe they saw the writing on the wall with the musical and figured that selling a pro shot to Netflix would basically cover the expenses of the musical so even if the show closed quickly, it didn’t matter financially.
