Tootsie (touring) Tickets

But a weak story line. The cast did what they could to make it the best it could be. True professionals

Great show, very talented cast. Glad story changed from the movie version.

Brilliant 1982 Screenplay reworked so much that there is no reason why this Tootsie got the admiration she got. The stars are the actresses who.played Julue and Sandy, not the actor playing Tootsie. Singing was amazing,, but as you are waiting to hear the final song, the curtain starts to fall and you wonder why the play is over.

The storyline resembled the movie but became a Broadway play instead of tv soap. The problem was that I couldn't understand the reason for Michael Dorsey's explanation to the cast, why he was acting as a female in the show: the actor spoke too fast, and what I did hear didn't make much sense to me; so didn't hang together well that way. However, that being said, I think it was well-cast, especially enjoying Payton Reilly (Sandy)--terrific performance!

This was just about the worst theater experience I’ve had in a long time. For starters, the Dolby Theater’s sound system was mushy. It sounded like we were listening to radio being played through blown speakers. Then regarding the musical, I felt like I was attending a high school production. The acting was amateurish at best. Then, following intermission one of the ushers yelled at the audience regarding the need to keep masks on during the performance. If I had been attending this show by myself I would have walked out within the first fifteen or twenty minutes. The best part of the evening occurred on the drive home, as I listened to my sisters and nieces give a hilarious rendition of Tootsie. Bottom line: Save your money and find a movie.

There is much room for improvement in this stage production. Compared to the movie, it fell short. The plot changes did not always make sense. The music never reached the heights I expected. Not the casts fault - they were excellent in their singing, dancing and acting. The problem was the material they had to work with.

Man understands women’s hurdles because he is in a dress for a while? And boy gets girl because of his wokeness? Please. Also, mediocre singing. Ugh

The story is not so completed. All actors and actress are amazing except for the lead actor. No one was giving standing ovation. That’s awkward but honest.

Stayed the entire show. Wasn’t all that good. Not sure if it could’ve been better. Some of the actors were better than others, sadly, not the main people but it is what it is. Would not see again or tell people they should see it.

Really enjoyed the Dolby and Parking was easy. The show was amazing, it was funny and the music was awesome. Also the dancing with awesome!

This really can only be called "Tootsie" in the loosest of terms. Other than the basic plot element of a male character dressing as a female, everything else of the plot has been changed. It has been watered down and scrubbed to be "millennial safe". Instead of an actor getting a job on a TV soap it's about a musical theater actor getting a part on the hugely poorly conceived musical sequel to Romeo and Juliet. That said the plot of this musical in a musical is barely given any attention so why something so bad was chosen seems to simply be for cheap comic effect. There's nothing horrible about Tootsie the Musical. The cast does an admirable job under the circumstances and it has plenty of energy and color. It is nice to be back in a theater again to see anything really. It just really lacks any soul or reason for existing: or connection to its namesake for that matter. The theater was at least half empty as well which in the era of COVID I can't say I'm saddened by.

Tootsie is one of my favorite movies of all time! I was so excited to see this musical but left sadly disappointed. I brought a group of friends and we all found that it wasn’t very funny and the cast lacked chemistry. It veered away from the original story and tried to blend the story lines of the Birdcage and Mrs. Doubtfire but sadly lacked the heart and humor of all 3 movies. I really wanted to love it.

The dancers were great, but the music was ho-hum. Except for the lead (Drew Becker) the cast mumbled their way through the first 15-20 minutes especially the 'What's Gonna Happen number. Initially I thought it was a sound problem that was corrected during the first act, but a friend who saw the show the following day made the same points. Perhaps the cast (except for Frew Becker) needs to warm up before the show, not during it.

This production did not warrant the big Hollywood stage. The sets were just okay. The storyline was cute but somewhat predictable.and sprinkled with wokeness. The sound in the Dolby theater was awful. .

The play is pokes fun of "show business" and has a lot of moments of cute "Three's Company" style physical and language humor. But it also tries to hit upon woman's issues and the "MeToo!" movement so there are moments where the audience is confused. Our group discussed that there was little to no chemistry between the two lead actors. Both good actors, but hum. Made me think that even trying to push a relationship between them was against the whole, "Metoo!" thing. The end, after all this flash, and an Ode to Broadway, falls flat. Overall, it is fun! Enjoyable! but not Epic.

Everything was perfect, from the venue to the performance. The cast is memorable and very talented, the story has been adapted in a very clever way and I would attend again and again.

When your favorite film of all time is Toostie. The 1982 classic starting Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange and Teri Garr about a hard to work with method actor who decides to audition for a part in a soap opera that his best friend does not get after being told nobody will work with him it may be a very hard process to please this devoted fan. The new Musical titled Toostie could have have been doomed from the beginning. Surprisingly this production did the best job they could have done considering. This production of Toostie The Musical did a good job. There are weak points in this production considering I seen the movie version over 200 times. The lead actor starts off the production as Michael Dorsey weaker then the rest of the cast but once he turns into Dorothy Michaels she shines. He grabs the essence of the character and without just trying to copy the original of the film he makes it is owe. The actress playing the lead that Jessica Lange played in the film even though very talented I believe was slightly miscast. They went with A brilliant actress but the fact that she's a different race then the character in the film tends to pull you out of the action and make this a less believable transition. No fault of hers she's a beautiful and brilliant actress but does not seem to fit the production. The actress playing Sandy on the other hand brilliantly makes her character her own while still catching the essence of the 1982 brilliantly written. Movie. The rest of the ensemble cast does a stellar job at all their roles. The change from being a soap opera to a musical theater also tends to throw the production off a bit but Then settles in nicely after the fact. I enjoyed this production a lot but I felt They could have kept in some more memorable scenes from the original. For example; sandy's struggling to get out of the bathroom when locked in, Julie's fathers major crush on Dorothy and the casting of a Lot younger actor as the creepy John Van Horn. At no part of this is any of the actors issues they're all brilliant but I felt that the writing could've been a little more on point with the movie. Other than that there are some great references to the film that keep it authentic but I felt there could've been a lot more and they could've still used the soap opera theme. The music even though being nice nobody I went with could remember any of the songs after the show. I wanted to give this a five star rating but I gave it a 3.5 due to changes. You might say they updated the show but my only issue with that is some people that have seen the movie once or not at all don't get the full brilliance of the 1982 film. Other than that I believe this Production was worth the time and money and I would recommend it to anyone.

The staging was very creative and well done. The performances were wonderful. The only weak point was the end. It was kind of anticlimactic.

Choirs were a bit loud and shreeky. But good talent

Considering I got the tix for under $50/seat and our seats were great, I had a good time at the musical. Parking was convenient, too. It started off a bit slow but once it picked up, it was quite entertaining. The singer who played Julie had the most amazing voice. Having gone to many musicals, I would say I wouldn’t mind going for about $75 but not sure I would pay $100 or more. Nonetheless the 4 of us enjoyed Tootsie.
