hiiii luna killed itttt she was incredibleeeee

here are my thoughts:

1. Luna. is. amazing. she is an INCREDIBLE actress - her ability to wear pain on her face while going through the motions of a professional idol doing her job is so palpable to witness. she was like a beaming fierce ball of sunshine but her eyes were sparkling with tears (because of story).

2. IT FEELS LIKE A CONCERT AND YOU LIKE FORGET IT’S NOT UNTIL SOMETHING DRAMATIC HAPPENS LOL

3. the girl group choreo in particular is amazing - their sound is f(x)y! the first boy group song had very shinee-esque choreo. I looked in the playbill and it looks like the choreographer has worked with nct, blackpink and others before, and you can tell.

4. can’t lie, some of those songs were so corny lol but they sounded great (f8, we put the team in teammate?)

5. I thought the story was really good! It shows the exploitative, fragile, and dehumanizing nature of the work while also showing how hero savior white/western approaches to documenting it can be invasive and exploitative too

6. The skill involved is No. Joke. It’s Broadway, so there is absolutely no backing track, which means they are doing this choreo and singing purely live. They are Broadway trained singers for the most part and they are able to sing in the style of pure pop but with all the drama. And it sounded PERFECT. Scary good. I feel lucky to have seen it, it was awesome.

7. the like kai-esque member of the boyband (tall, kai styled hair, cropped structured top lol) sounded good throughout and then had a moment where he was really able to sing with his rich, deep voice and i was like ahhhh broadway ahhh lol

8. special shout out to julia abueva because i sat next to her incredibly wonderful and super proud mama - her voice is so warm and powerful, and she is a star!!!! 🌟

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen this TV show, but can you do a casting goals for a musical adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender

Yes I did have a good childhood and therefore I did see Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, I don’t have every role cast Granted most of these people are not the right age to play these characters being in there 20′s & 30′s and in the series they are 12-18 (I think...)

  So many theater companies label their shows “immersive” these days that the term can feel like little more than a synonym for “hip.” But five adventurous and meticulous companies consistently produce work that incorporates all (or most) of the six elements that define the immersive genre at its best, as I explain in my article for TDF Stages, 5 Theatres You Need to Know: Immersive Companies in NYC

Below is a list of those companies, with photographs from their shows, past or present, and links to some of my reviews or features.

Cast: Nat Wolff, Alex Wolff, Paulina Singer, Polly Draper, Nick Sandow, Julia Macchio, Julia Abueva Director: Polly Draper Screenplay: Polly Draper Cinematography by David Kimelman Film Editing by Frank Reynolds Music: Michael Wolff

[newyorktheater]

Simon, 15 years old and an aspiring comic book creator, is disappointed. His neighbor Jim in Apartment 4-B can’t walk through walls, and has no secret cave; he doesn’t even drive a “super kickass car.” Having been found out as a person with superpowers, Jim comes clean to Simon about what his life is like: “It’s absolutely nothing like any superhero movie, or comic book, or video game, or anything else you ever saw, ever,” The same can be said of “Superhero.” The new musical by Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) and John Logan (Red) at Second Stage is not like the typical superhero movie or comic book. That’s both good and bad, but mostly bad. And, although it features a serviceable if unmemorable score, a fine design scheme, and, above all, a superb cast — especially the splendid Kate Baldwin — “Superhero” is full of disappointments. That’s less a judgment than a literal description of the musical. What makes “Superhero” an atypical superhero story is not that Jim (Bryce Pinkham) is an unemployed bus driver, who tries to save people on the side. If Jim might be unusually morose for a superhero, Spiderman, after all, is just a nerdy high school student. The designers also do a good job of establishing a comic book feel. Beowulf Boritt’s set is a series of frames (as if comic book panels) and Tal Yarden’s projections bring to life Simon’s drawings of his newly imagined comic book hero, The Amazing Sea-Mariner. There’s even a song early on, during which Simon appears dressed in a red hoodie that obscures his face, and then suddenly multiple figures in red hoodies rush acrobatically around the stage — precisely (and surely deliberately) recalling a similar scene in “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.” What makes “Superhero” different from what you might expect from a musical entitled “Superhero” is that the character with the superpowers is not even the main character. Jim’s story is scant and secondary; he is primarily a device. The musical focuses on Simon (Kyle McArthur) and his mother Charlotte (Kate Baldwin), an untenured professor of Romance literature, and the difficulty they have been having in dealing with the death of Simon’s father two years earlier in a car crash. Looked at most charitably, the creative team has chosen to downplay Jim’s superpowers as a way of emphasizing the musical’s underlying theme: Life is full of disappointments, and you can’t expect to be saved from them; you just have to live with them. Each character in the musical is disappointed by life in various ways. Jim is disappointed that despite his mission to help people and his powers, he can only save half the people he would like to save. Charlotte is disappointed she can’t connect with her son. Vee (Salena Qureshi), a senior for whom Simon harbors a secret crush, is disappointed that climate change will make the earth uninhabitable in a hundred years — and (implicitly) that nobody can save the planet. In one of the several explicit expressions of the theme (and one of too few comic moments in the show), Simon sings “I’ll Save The Girl,” agonizing over whether to stand up and protect Vee from her ex-boyfriend Dwayne (Jake Levy) who seems to be menacing her:

Do I have the strength? Can I find the will? Could I spring to action, instead of standing still? Could I save her?

– until, he sees Vee talk back to the suddenly sheepish Dwayne. Now, Simon sings

When you’re in danger— Call on Vee She is fearless and courageous, the kind of hero I could never be

I didn’t save the girl… But can the girl save me?

As earnest and well intentioned as the show’s theme may be, it seems to come at the expense of the fun usually associated with superhero fantasies. The science fiction element feels like little more than a shoddy graft onto the body of the musical, which is a domestic drama. The body doesn’t even bother to reject the graft; it largely ignores it. A couple of quick stage effects in Act I establish that Jim has superpowers – in one, he crushes a fire hydrant. And a short dialogue with Simon in Act II establishes Jim’s skimpy origin story, which couldn’t withstand much scrutiny: He is an alien from a distant planet who’s been dispatched “to help those in need….Once we leave our home world we can never return, and we go alone.” Mostly, Jim is just another lonely, socially inept guy. If “Superhero” is really just another sad family drama, still, there are moving moments in it. Simon pushes his mother to invite Jim to dinner so that Simon can learn more about him (“The only people who get behind the superhero’s mask are the women they date,” he tells her with authority and impatience.) During that first meal together, Pinkham and Baldwin sing “How Do You Do This Again,” a lovely duet of separate, interior monologues

Jim: …all you’ve come to know Feels somehow out of date All this, and it’s only ten to eight.

Jim: How I’ve longed for easy conversation Charlotte: Nervous that I might say something strange Charlotte and Jim: I never thought I’d have another night like this And it’s nice to be wrong for a change...

Jim is unable to sustain the budding romance with Charlotte because (device alert!) he keeps on hearing voices in his head of those in need, and he has to rush off to try to save them. I suppose this can count as a metaphor. Let’s face it, superhero or schlub, Jim is kind of dull and (theme alert!) unreliable.
