Gigi on Broadway

Vanessa Hudgens is my girl! She performed very well in this broadway show and we felt very honored to have front row orchestra seats! There was a point where she looked directly at us for a couple seconds and we were star-​struck! She continues to amaze me with her talent, beauty and poise.
The costumes and dresses were colorful, radiant and expressive. The dance numbers and singing were impressive. The lines were uttered to perfection and the music from the orchestra was on point.
The storyline was interesting along with the Parisian environment and history incorporated into the show. We were able to see the show on its last day on a Sunday afternoon. We were hoping to get selfies with Vanessa, but it down poured right after and she snuck into the getaway car with her sister, boyfriend, security, etc. We were right in front of them when that happened… What an experience!!!

This was Vanessa Hudgen’s show to carry and she definitely did just that. Gigi is a classic show, based on a hit musical film in 1958 and the original Broadway show in 1973. The setting is in Paris and after that I find the story line not all that interesting and actually a little disturbing versus today’s culture and standards. However, the acting was great and the singing good as well.

My dear friend Leah knowing that I have just a little (ok huge) crush on Vanessa Hudgens surprised me with tickets for this show. Vanessa was absolutely adorable, running around the stage like a little whirling dervish. She is even cuter in person and far smaller than she seems on tv. Yes her accent is an odd mish mash of other accents but it didnt detract from her overall adorableness. As for the rest of the play I will admit musicals are not my thing and I got pretty bored when Vanessa was offstage. The sets were really cool looking and some of the dancing was pretty extraordinary.

Being a frequent Broadway goer, I am not a fan of Gigi. The story line was strange and it was a struggle to maintain focus and interest. It was not my cup of tea.

This was one the best Broadway shows I have been in a long time! I highly recommend it! Bravo to the cast!

We went on the 2^nd night of the opening. You could feel the energy. The set was wonderful to view but he actors and musical were even better. I cried three times at the end due to it was so touching. I would highly recommend to anyone that is in NY to see this play.

Aww Vanessa Hudgens is too cute in this musical! I’m such a fan of High School Musical, hehe, and she was super good in this show! I loved her outfits, with the colorful high skirts, cute hats and sparkly jewelry. The songs were also really catchy and fun!
The backdrops and scenery were all pretty as well, from seeing the Eiffel Tower to the elegant staircase. The other characters were hilarious too, and really likeable. Come see this show at the Neil Simon Theater!

During the opening scene, an actress rushed onto the stage with such joie de vivre and a beautiful voice. I thought to myself, «Who is this little girl?! I need to look her up on IMDB…» Lo and behold, it was Vanessa Hudgens, who certainly is no tween, but managed to play one on stage so well that I didn’t even recognize her. (The bobbleheads seated in front of me, obstructing my view of the stage, also helped though.) I just assumed Hudgens would be playing only the older Gigi, but she pulled off both parts remarkably well!
Gigi is now one of my favorite productions, right after The Book of Mormon. Although each play has such a different audience and storyline, both feature that same hip-​hip-​hooray peppiness. I loved everything about this musical! It’s a wonderfully girly play, from the vibrant costumes to the sweet song and dance numbers to the glamorous sets. The only hiccup was the rush in the plot, barely touching on Gigi’s transition from child to adult. I want to watch the original now starring Audrey Hepburn!

Vanessa Hudgens stars as Gigi and gives a flawless performance! I came to support Vanessa and could not be more proud of her. She was absolutely adorable! I sat in the 6^th row center orchestra which was perfect. This production should be nominated for Best Dressed on Broadway. Fantastic job designers and wardrobe! Everyone was dressed so classy and unique in their own hot way. Beautiful set and lighting design. The orchestra was magnificent! Well done music conductor! I didn’t know the background of the plot so I didn’t know this was a movie according to the French enthusiastic lady I sat next to. It’s a feel good play throughout the show. I loved the spunky grandma character. Aunt Alicia. She is a hoot! Lot’s of witty humorous lines from her. I had a great time and wish the entire cast and production team a long run. Go see Vanessa Hudgens in Gigi if you’re in NYC.
