I saw those garbage costumes in a video preview and decided to avoid the whole mess. Glad I did, from what you're saying here, I saved my eardrums.

Double digits?! Wow.

I avoided it. It sounded like some Bernie Telsey wet fever dream.


For those who are new-ish to BWW, you ain't seen shilling until you witnessed the flock of shills for BKLYN dominating this site as early as six months prior to the show's opening.

The show, like the costumes, was garbage.

It was my first and (I hope) last time to see Espinosa, a meeskite of the first water who, like most homely belters, has no taste other than believing HIGHER and LOUDER are the pinnacle of vocal art and acting.

It was not super loud. Definitely not rock concert loud. I liked it.

A waste of time and I was given a free ticket too. A waste of talent and surprised it lasted as long as it did.

I'm in the minority that really liked it. But that's what art is- people like different things. I laugh when someone is surprised another person likes something they didn't.

I saw it on Broadway and on tour. I enjoyed both productions and both sets of casts. The costumes were fun, and the music was exciting. The story behind the production is also fascinating if you ever watch the documentary "Matzah Boy"
