The best video ever!

I appreciate this review. This story has some basis in George Takei’s experience as an internee and yes - there were dances and baseball games and gardening. They tried to make life livable.

hard to believe it's been a decade since Peak Broadway Podcasting.

I miss y'all!

I miss these two.

My first video of yours & the way you guys critique amazing 👏🏾

Tears. More tears.

Who is here 6 years later? I love Patty and Emily so much and revisit their videos regulary to hear their oppinions on shows. They were the best and no KZbinr matches their reviews. I hope they're both fine!

I miss your videos!!

I found this version pretty terrible compared to the original pop opera. The changes were universally bad: 1) The actor playing Peter couldn't hit his high notes in the musical version, which ruined his songs. 2) The new lyrics were generally worse than the original lyrics. Why change them in the old songs anyway? What's the point? 3) The new songs are a mixed bag-even the good ones like Million Miles and Best Friend seem out of place with the original songs, like they come from a different musical, and they ruin the flow. 3) Changing Peter and Jason's relationship to brand new (they'd been together for a while in the pop opera) makes the drama between them seem forced. Why doesn't Jason just leave Peter? They've only been dating/hooking up a week. 4) Sister Joan feels kinda preachy compared to Chantelle, and God Don't Make No Trash is SUCH a better song. 5) They talk way too much in the musical, and it's generally boring dialogue. 6) And why make the Shakespeare sections spoken? Those were so pretty as songs. 7) I agree that they really didn't establish Jason and Nadia's bond, which was so sweet in the pop opera. 8) It's terrible to get rid of the arc with Peter coming out to his mom. That's really important in a play about teen LGBTQ+ characters. Glad you liked it though! I'm sure it was some people's favorite version. I just personally found it inferior in every way.

Behold! The gift!

Thank you Vinny Murphy from Buffalo

Did they kidnap his daughter?! 😂 Love y'all so sweet and pure!

I WISH Patrick Page recorded audiobooks!

There are plenty of young principals and Sierra may have been 33 at the time (I'm pretty sure) but that doesn't mean she could have been portraying a older woman.

Miss you videos

I streamed it on broadway on demand. Such a great show. Added infor : Did you know that Lea's partner in that show was actually her ex boyfriend in real life... and they sang "This is not over"

I called Elise to help me pack my bags

SO SO SO FUNNY!!!!!!! MISS U GUYS!!! YOU NEED MORE VIDEOS PLEASE!!! WHERE ARE YOU???????

I laugh, but I also cry each time they sing. It's a complicated emotion

Reminds me of sondheim... beutiful

I have fans?

I had enough Broadway Annie it's a hard knox life

Guess I have t o be ????? To enjoy Show times Broadway Showtime I dont

Where are you guys?

I realize that my comment is 6 years later and the show is long closed, but I am hoping that they see this. I listened to this whole 9:42 because I wanted to see what they said about my good friend Jim Borstelmann. They started off saying that they would address the performances first and then all they said about the performances was that they were "fantastic" and "not a dud in there." They said a little about one of Jenn Colella's numbers. They finally addressed a few others after 8 minutes. What's the point of listing the cast if you're not going to tell us about their individual performances? This isn't a book report, yet this is mostly focused on how well this was/wasn't written. A review about a play should include specific strengths and weaknesses of the main characters and any outstanding supporting roles.

I miss you girls!!!

I just saw this show and actually agree with you. It was a well done show, but I definitely felt the references went on way too long. Like- I was checking my watch often.

Where areee youuuuu

Beautiful

Kevin David Thomas!

The "W" in Wendla is pronounced "V" :)

Old video now, but must chime in on the show’s arbitrary projections. My friend and I still laugh to this day regarding the random projection during some love ballad that featured a woman looking over her shoulder with a sheet that slowly dropped down her bare back! One of the biggest WTF set design moments I’ve ever had!

I LOVE SJB

I loved Amanda Seyfried in Mama Mia!

Ive seen it 5 times on tour and once on Broadway. I agree with your review 100% They should film the tour and put it on DVD.

The shoehorned romance is what I hated the most about Sister Act.

this is what I get for commenting before finishing the video but I'd like to explain song of purple summer to you. no, it's not a continuation of the story, the characters aren't carried into this song. it's an epilogue and a final message. The plot stops and it's that final message is that hope of a new way. It's them saying that, "you know, maybe things aren't so great now but someday it will be and we can carry that to the next generation." also, the purple summer flower is a flower that only blooms in summer their thought was that you have to get through winter, you have to get through the crest of spring to get to Summer, you have to experience the bad to get to the good. sorry, I know I exploded but I had to say this.

I don't think you guys understand WHY this was an entertaining show.

I think it's weird that you seem to have such a problem with white people, but love Kelli so much. If she was any whiter she would glow in the dark.

Only two minutes in and I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT! My mom didn't mind it because "the point was that he had to get through her initial doubt." There is a respectful way to show that: THIS IS NOT IT!

My queens where are you😭😭😭

I was sad to read your closing notice. I tried watching Broadway Bitches on KZbin but it's not the same. Thank goodness for Double D reviews! I subscribed to your podcasts on iTunes, but it looks like you're not continuing those, oh well, all the best to both of you

Plus another thing..JENNA..kisses HIM!! HELLO!! SHE STARTS IT ALL..he liked her..yes.. BUT SHE STARTS IT..she is no saint.. the DOC is still and ADULTERER too!! get upset about that what about HIS WIFE?? CRY ABOUT THAT!

oh PLEASE! another thing you don't think of is that this story happens in the SOUTH not like NYC..you are taking it too seriously!!

The show just won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

did you two die?

"the artistic side was bad, see lion king" they have the same director😂love you guys

I'm not so sure she marrys Hugo. The man who is in the ballet looks alot like him, but it's not. Otherwise, amazing review!!
