When the drama bearing the Broadway theme crush It started operating the seasonists on NBC in 2012, and it seems that the entire theater industry, at the time, was specific. Language, faces, and fears – all of them, appear if not completely real, then at least smart enough to create some of the lines behind the scenes. Even with the rapid decrease in the chain in quality and evaluation, a kind of adaptation on the stage has become inevitable.
Thirteen years later, Shattering It reaches Broadway with some of the most talented designs and actors working today. more Inspired from based onMore fans of imagination or satirical simulation more than a greeting, the production that opens tonight in the imperial theater is more surprising than anything else.
It is possible that you will be very different in detail and tone of the series to satisfy the heading fans – and they must be there somewhere – but they depend on nostalgia for the past, no matter how modern, and this is not likely in the general population (boopAnyone?) Shattering Not even because it confuses at least as much as it satisfies.

It is not that the whole musician is going well. With a good team like this – Robin Herder, promBrooks Ashmansasas, Christa Rodriguez, John Behelman and Christine Nielsen is invaluable, only for beginners – crush It can be completely monitored from start to the accumulated end. Unlike the series, there is no significant decrease in quality that has originally strengthened many of the first fans. instead of, Shattering It starts well enough, and remains there.
Music is poisoned all one story except for one story of the series. The tangle of soap has been a drama, and only the main plot-about music-made musical manufacturer Marilyn Monroe-turned into a widespread caricature of Broadway. This is an idea that can work – Death becomes her The same trick did largely, albeit with a movie as an inspiration, one of the best musical plays currently in Broadway. crushWell, not.
The wonderful groom plays IVY LYNN, (initially) star Broadway Sweet in a musician called bombA good photography of Monroe's life will do it clearly no She ends with, as she put the enthusiastic director, Nigel, “Marilyn dumped in her naked bed and a wrapped death in a white satin paper!” This is not exactly a joke line, but with Nigel photography, Brooks Ashmanskas is always funny, it may be.
when bombKrysta Rodriguez, a well -intentioned writer and lyric writer, shows a book for Monroe's dedication to the studio of actors and the method, looming on the horizon problem. “If you ever sees you give books to an actor again,” Nigel will reprimand, “I will replace you. By applying.”
Soon after, the beloved ivy takes from a friend to everything, the method, insists that it is only treated as Marilyn and takes on all the characteristics of the star of the governed cinema. She appeared late from work, fixed organic pollutants such as Candy, her crew and colleagues, including the best friend and rival Karen (Caroline Bowman, Great Bilter), such as garbage, even a hanging coach and a very intrusive teacher (Nielsen, charming in black as a miracle course on Monroe Live Live Stacberg.
The rebellion is inevitable, and quickly is voted on enough IVY and replaced by Dredy Karen, which suffers from bad luck in eating a laxative cupcake dedicated to the ivy and strikes, if it is permissible to speak, the first performance of the display before a invited audience. Enter assistant director Chloe (Bella Coppola), a former actress with a wonderful singing voice that was repeatedly informed of the profession of a leading lady.
Who is the one who takes and reads dead in the rehearsal of the dress?
yet crush It contains at least one of the possible Marilyns, and any conspiracy or best friend against the best friend who contradicts the “real” show that was suffering from collapsing and not recovering. Poles that are not particularly funny are repeated in the first place, such as drinking birth control pills, increasing drinking of the composer (and Tercy husband) Jerry (John Behaman), and Nigel Taintrums and Boss-enerling Banting between Grand, and that-this product that Zeffice realizes.

Robin Herder and “Smash” actor
Matthew Murphy
If the book stumbles, the production numbers – some of which depend on the famous pictures of Marilyn and the upbringing, such as Itching seven yearsThe scene in the metro, and diamonds are the best girlfriend of the girl – appropriately escaped. Series lovers will know most of the tunes-“Let me be your star”, “The National Pastime”, “Baby White Baby Grand”, “Let's Be Bad”, among others-and if you leave a little songs a permanent impression, they are all well-performed and convincingly singing.
Joshua Bergasse, who designed the series, does the same thing here, to a good effect. Although the collection looks a little on the Chintzy side, the scenic designer Biolf Burit does his usual star work, with great help from full lighting design at Kane Bellington. Alejo Vette fashion design is good if it is not noticeable except for the place that matters: Great Marilyn clothes.
Perhaps it is more confused crushNevertheless, it is strangely satiated, the bomb itself is useless. For music and music within a musician, it offers lip service to its cultural value, crush Musician Monroe is treated as a permanent line. Ivy-SA-Moryn is an amphetamine that proves the jaw that is presented in the acting craft as a fatal effect. These Marilyn are even Smidge from the sweetness and weakness that is characterized by even the most clichic takes the symbol. Herder is doing her best with what she presented, but we leave crush Musician Performed while all of this uproar was.
