Difficult Truths

[BroadwayHermione5]

Hamilton did not deserve the Best Choreography Tony Award. It should have to Savion Glover for Shuffle Along
Safeway's Signature Select is the best store brand.
Del Taco is amazing and I will search them out.
Legoland is an amazing park and needs more love.

I agree. No offense to Andy Blankenbuehler at all, especially given how each ensemble track has its own meaning and character (like the Bullet) but Savion choreographed tap dances for 2.5 out of an almost three hour show. I still think about the dueling companies tap duel in act 2.
Hofesh Schecter for the Fiddler revival was also was a strong contender. He managed to combine traditional Jewish and Russian dances with some original Robbins choreo. I’m pretty sure my jaw is still dropped from the final third of “To Life”.
Spencer Liff was robbed of a nomination for Deaf West’s Spring Awakening revival. Idk how he did what he did (even after watching interviews), but it was a master class in combining sign language with dance.

Fiddler is one of those shows where choreography rarely comes up. Those dancers work extremely hard and the type of dancing they are doing is not easy. I heard Deaf West Spring Awakening was amazing.

I recommend finding boots of both the DW SA and the 2016 fiddler revival. They both did something that is rare which all the revivals did that year: they really dug deep into the story and made it their own. Yes certain things were done in each but it was unique to that specific production.

I will! I did a production of Fiddler 8 years ago. Such an amazing experience.

It’s a great show. It’s not until you are in or work backstage for a Bock and Harnick that you realize how beautifully they write (I was in a production of She Loves Me and stage managed a production of Fiddler)

I love Bock and Harnnick. I was Customer #1 in She Loves Me about 15 years ago. Dream show for sure!

She Loves Me is so much fun. Sang from the Apple Tree for an acting class and from Fiddler for my senior recital and thesis!

The Apple Tree is such an underrated show. I told my kids I was going to get a Broadway HD trial so they can watch "She Loves Me". I showed them clips on youtube, and they loved it!
