Hell's Kitchen was the worst show I've ever seen... well, I don't want to be too dramatic.. but for $160!!! the show was horrible. There is literally no show there. Here' the entire show "I like this boy, but my mom says I can't see him because I can't get pregnant like she did and ruin my life" - that's it..

W for E was a snooze fest even for $50 lottery seats. The Imperial is huge so those lottery seats are farrrrrr away. The men are great. You've seen the acrobat/circus stuff before - nothing new there.

I saw Gatsby in NJ and will see it again. I know it's getting a lot of flack, but if you like Eva or Jeremy, go! I really enjoyed the show (if you cut all the group numbers where there was supposed to be a great party, but it was not great...), but all of the story part of the show and the smaller numbers were great.

Who am I? I 50 yo gay guy who loves all theater, but realize that there is a value proposition to be had - $140 for Sweeney with Sutton and Aaron? yes! $130 for Merrily with all 3 leads in? Yes!! The Connector off Broadway for $35 rush? yes!

Hell's Kitchen at any price? no... &Juliet? yep! Lottery is winnable on Today Tix if you are early/on time at 9. Such a great show.

I'll for sure see Notebook, Outsiders, Lempickha and Suffs as well - at rush/lottery prices. :)
