| Why? Bandstand is an original musical with a wonderful score and is better than expected, and won a Tony or Choreography but was otherwise ignored by the Tonys despite it's quality, making it a underdog worthy praising. Anastasia is an old animated kids musical that never inspired THAT much excitement in the first place as a movie or when announced for the stage, and the reviews and word of mouth have both said it is mediocre at best. And Charlie is a tired property that has been done several times in serval mediums to varying success, and already has a musical film most love -- and the show in London wasn't even well reviewed and then the transfer stripped it of the scenery and the reviews and word of mouth have generally been terrible. And there were plenty of War Paint posts when it first started performing, it began like 2 months before Bandstand give or take. Point is, I don't find it surprising that people are compelled to post about it. |

| To be fair, I see no proof that word of mouth on Anastasia is that it is mediocre. It's a crowd pleaser and is in the old fashioned musical mode. I've gone twice and the audience around me loved it. | |

| All the posts I remember seeing here about it said it was mediocre/disappointing, and anyone I know who saw it has said the same (i know we don't know the same people but still) | |

| It's a roaring hit, at least this summer. The fact that it didn't need reviews surprised me, though I realize it shouldn't. It's almost another Disney. But is it "Little Mermaid" or "Mary Poppins"? | |

| From reports I've heard, it seems more Wicked-like, maybe 2nd tier Wicked, without the award attention. | |
