I hope to see it one more time (#5) before it closes.

The Buyer Got Smarter Than the Box Office Jun 9 2026, 01:08:58 PM
I agree completely with the writer's assessment that audiences are now playing the waiting game regarding tickets for anything but a sure-fire sellout. Historically, I've rarely bought tickets at the last minute (unless I was simply filling a slot and not particularly concerned about the show); for anything I'd made up my mind to see, I always bought well in advance. Not anymore. For our last trip in May, I only bought three out of eight shows in advance because I knew the seat se

Rank the 2026 Tony Performances Jun 8 2026, 03:03:16 PM
Going completely against the grain, I thought Pink was just awful from start to finish; I can't recall another less appealing/engaging Tonys host.
As for the Best Musical performances, if I were planning a Broadway trip now, none of them would've motivated me to buy a ticket. I had high hopes for Cats: The Jellicle Ball, but they chose the wrong moments, it looked chaotic, and the volume of their music was too low in comparison to the vocals (the opposite of a

Jarethan said: "I think it is going to be competing for the dubious honor of shortest running best musical."
I was just saying to my husband that I expect this will be one of those wins about which, 10 years from now, people will remark, "Can you believe Schmigadoon took best musical in 2026?"

We didn't sit in partial view seats, but we did sit in the center section, and I can't recall there being any post/column or other architectural feature that might block the view from certain seats. However, the space has a low ceiling (it was definitely not construct

If someone enjoys/appreciates something, why would they not want to experience it multiple times? I've seen many shows multiple times.

Does anyone know why the Friday performance was presented as an event of sorts, i.e., why ALW was featured in the show and subsequently spent so much time with everyone in the street?

Phantom Tour Cast May 31 2026, 03:56:19 PM
surferbro24 said: "My biggest issue was Isaiah Bailey's Phantom...the chemistry between the Phantom and Christine just wasn't there. Their first scenes in the lair felt awkward rather than hypnotic, and there was virtually no tension between them. Whatever you think the relationship is, the show depends on some combination of attraction, obsession, danger, and emotional pull. Here, that dynamic never materialized. At times they even came across as oddly sassy with one another

That casting would have been amazing.
I'm really sorry to see this close and am glad we went back last week for a second viewing.

Same. This is way too far in advance for me.

I've heard that construction has been going on in the area around Lee's Art Shop, and this has prevented them from using the rooftop spaces. It looks like the outdoor segments will return this coming Saturday.

I really do wish they'd cut it (it's only a few seconds and completely unnecessary) because it was the only thing that felt mean in what we otherwise thought was a warm and fu

THE LOST BOYS Reviews May 21 2026, 09:16:33 AM
My husband and I attended the evening performance on 5/13/26 and didn’t love this. We saw eight shows during this visit, and The Lost Boys was the only one that disappointed. It wasn’t bad, but overall we didn’t feel that the transition to a musical really did anything to enhance the story. If anything, it often felt like the songs halted the show every time it started to gain momentum. There are some good voices (Shoshana Bean can really sing), but the on

This is true, and it was the only (very brief, just a few seconds) segment in which we thought they may have crossed a line. We didn't feel that it was appropriate to use Connor's actual voice as a child for laughs, and it would in no way di

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW reviews May 21 2026, 08:18:15 AM
My husband and I saw the 5/15/26 performance, and I was surprised by my own reaction to it. Despite the fact that I thought everyone aside from Luke Evans (although he should shave the mustache) and Andrew Durand was miscast, the show was great fun and I had a blast.

I don't necessarily disagree, but if people did what you suggest about 25% of the posts here would never be made."
And that would be bad?

Has Anyone Caught the HEATED RIVALRY Parody Musical? May 21 2026, 07:47:11 AM
My husband and I saw it last Thursday night, and both of us LOVED it and would happily see it again. We also both love the TV show (and I've read all of Rachel Reid's books) and were initially concerned that a parody of it might be mean-spirited, but the musical manages to be laugh-out-loud hilarious while remaining reverential to the source material. There are some great voices in the cast, and the two leads bear a sufficient resemblance to Connor Storrie and

We attended the 7:30pm performance on 5/17/26, and the actual rooftop was not used for "All I Ask of You" nor "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again/Wandering Child". The weather was fine that evening, which left me wondering whether they ever use the rooftop anymore, and if so, under what circumstances.
